To Oregon Students:
Student self-government and the sponsorship of many of
the extra-curricular activities of college life are conducted
under the Associated Students type of organization in the ma
jority of Pacific Coast colleges and universities. The advan
^ tage of this form of organization lies in the cooperative plan
whereby through large numbers of students paying niember
■ ship fees, the aetivitiees may he better financed and exceptional
values inure to the student both through participation in these
activities and in attendance at events for which the general
public pays admission charges.

For This Year
Student Body President
Points Out Value
Football Promising
A.S.U.O. Program Able to
Stand Alone Under
Optional Plan
“We have long felt that this year
was one of the most critical the
A.S.U.O. has faced in recent years,
but with the promise of a fresh
man class outstanding both as to
quality and numbers our fears are
rapidly disappearing.
"The student body has planned
a year of exceptional extra-curri
cular activities the major portion
of which will be football games.
From the showing of our under
rated team, made up of a handful
of veterans and many sophomores
made against Gonzaga, I think we
can look forward to a repetition
of last years success on the grid
iron. Concerts are being planned
and the band and orchestra are
being sponsored as they have been
in years past.
Program Attractive
“The optional fee caught us un
awares last spring and after lean
ing on compulsory membership so
long we had some doubts as to the
future. However I feel that the
program that has been arranged
for fall term is so varied in its
appeal that no student can find a
logical reason for not becoming a
member of the student body. Too
often students have been told that
all college education doesnt come
from books, but there is an educa
tional value to be found in the
participation in the various activi
ties that almost outweigh the dol
lars and cents value in entertain
ment.
“I welcome the freshman class
and congratulate the upperclass
men on being hosts to such an ex
ceptional group. I also urge all the
new and old students to buy stu
dent body membership cards so
that they may take advantage of
the opportunities offered by our
student organization.

Onthank Welcomes Frosh
■> Of 58th Class To Enter U. O.
“The University welcomes you.
It offers you privileges inaccessi
ble to many. Here you have those
opportunities for study and intel
lectual growth, for mental and
spiritual development, which only
a university can offer. Naturally
you desire deeply to take advan
tage of the opportunities and to
direct yourself toward becoming
the intelligent, well-poised and ca
pable person, master of himself in
any situation, that you have set
as your goal. This program calls
naturally for the use of all your
own intelligence and judgment and
as much of that of others as you
can enlist. By that I mean that
you will find it advantageous to
seek information from authentic
sources as a basis for intelligent
decisions on the important points
which are before you,—on choice
of vocation, of major field of study,
of activities and interests in stu
dent affairs—each of which affects
your life and prospects.
“All the information you can
get will not be too much, so take
advantage of the presence of facul
ty counsellors, especially of your
lower division advisers, of the
deans of men and women and oth
er members of the personnel staff,
and of any other person who can
help you base your decisions as to
the use of your time and money
upon real information and fully
considered.
“Incidentally, one of the most;
valuable experiences of college life j
is found in the fine and often in
spiring relationship which students
have with university teachers, par
ticularly those who act as their ad
visers.
"Yours is the fifty-eighth class
that has been welcomed to the
University of Oregon. Many of
you are sons or daughters of grad
nates. The grandparents of more
than a few of you wgre Oregon
students when the University was
young. It was these splendid men
and women, and others like them,
led by a devoted and inspiring fac
ulty, that made the University
what it has become. They laid the
foundation. It was not money, or
family, or home town, or fratern
ity, but loyal service and devotion
to Old Oregon—a devotion shared
by all—that created the famous
Oregon spirit. It is not surprising
as the University has grown larg
er and more complex that students
individually do not now see so
readily their own vital relationship
to this splendid heritage. It has
become a bit popular to discard
traditions. As times change some
traditions do lose their meaning
and vitality but unless students
hold fast to his fundamental loyal
ty and devotion, and desire to
share in student life and affairs
and to be a part of this vital en
terprise, something very real and
fine will have been lost.
"As freshmen you want to be a
member of the Oregon student
body, to participate in its affairs,
not just because you may perhaps
thereby get a bit of glory or pre
ferment, but because only in that
way can you really share in the
elation which comes from victory
on the athletic field or from high
achievement by Oregon students in
any endeavor. Merely to attend
classes* and to move among stu
dents but not "belong" is a poor
substitute for the satisfaction of
sharing fully in the life and ac
tivities of the Oregon student body.
"The A.S.U.O. is the students'
own association. I know of no
student body which more fully be
longs to its undergraduate mem

President Urges All to
Take Advantage of
Opportunities
On behalf of the University I
wish to extend to all students, ■
those returning and those entering
for the first time, a hearty wel
come and the assurance of our sin
cere and lasting interest. The Uni
versity is a high cooperative enter
prise in which students help teach
ers and teachers help students to
develop individuals into men and
women of well-rounded capacity
and a keen sense of social respon
sibility.
The depression has taken its toll
of students in the past but the
promise of increased enrollment
this fall is making us once more
look forward constructively. The
citizens of the state need to be con
vinced that higher education jus
tifies itself and is worth all its
costs in taxation, and this justifi
cation can be manifested only
through* the character and attain
ments of the students and the kind
of citizens they become. We are
relying on you to prove to the peo
ple of this commonwealth that you
are a sound investment.
Ally yourself with the A. S. U. O.
Go in for those activities which
will broaden you socially, enable
you to know and cooperate with
your fellows better, and develop
your special aptitudes. Tackle your
