Recent Domineering Senior Of High School Visualizes Days As Confused, Ignorant Frosh EDITOR’S NOTT: The following art! ?Ie v:ns written l.y '» fe^hman who will so >n he emr<P" ' '>', ,M c ^ t to the University of Oror-ron as a member of twe cla-ss of 1940. Three months ago I was in “nigger heaven." a senior iri Eugene high school! As a senior 1 scoffed at sophomores, skipped classes when f pleased, and prac tically got away with murder. Now, as I am about to enter University as a pitifully ignor ant freshman. I find myself lark ing my heretofore mire-footed ness. Registration, rush week, stern professors, and Tlreek let ters loom before me like mon sters about to .jump upon me and remove my new freshman pants from my weak knees! When I start to Oregon, how am I to know where to go and what to do when I get there? Should I take dates with houses which I know that I will not pledge ? How can I stall on the high pressure sales talk of men in such frater nities ? Nor have I any idea of how I should act while being rushed. What should I wear? And how / should I dress when on the cam pus? I know that cords are upper classmen's pants, moleskins the sophomore’s regal attire, and that frosh nants, commonly called "tin pants.” are the ones which should adorn my frame. Yet, should I come upon the campus the first day strutting in my new trousers, or would the upperclassmen think I was showing off? As a freshman, what chances will I have to participate in social events on the campus? Will I he welcome to student dances? Would I dare wear a tux? And would I venture to date a coed who was a junior or a senior, even if she is a close friend ? And I’ve never been at a sorority house to call for a date. This disturbs me. How am I to approach the lordly upperclassmen after I pledge? Am I expected to reach for my ankles, assuming a position which will result in the rising of black welts on the back of my l^p? Millracings and tubbinprs make my weary bones tremble! How am I to learn what not to do and when not to do things whmh will result In these punishments? wnai am i 10 expeci irom a profeasor? Ia he going to have a bristling beard? Will he ga^p upon me and flunk me with fiendish glee when I fail to have mv legion, or can he be persuaded to give me more time as most high school teachers did? The physical exam. I am told, is an overdone torture chamber, filled with doctors who nounce up on one not unlike an octopus, tear ing and scratching until one car hardly breathe, then finishing by announcing the discovery of a slight case of athletes foot which was already known. With these horrors in mind, T intend to enter University, to i brave all of those; just to have the thrill of being a genuine fresh man, then to embark on n career in school which T hone will carry me higher in life.

Sam Liebowitz, Cliff McLean, i Dave Silver. John Lewis and Bill Harcombe. Varsity reserves with further eligibility are Wayne Scott, Ray Jewell. Bill Dick, and possibly Dale Lasselle, Bob Braddock and Bobby King. It’s Up to Frosh Oregon chances of climbing the northern division pennant ladder, however, will undoubtedly rest up on the development of outstanding sophomores from John Warren's brilliant Duckling squad. Leading freshman products who should make strong bids for varsity berths are Bob Anet and Wally Johansen, Astoria speedsters; Urgel (Slim) Wintermute, six foot i— —■ — - I eight inch southpaw center, and Lauren (Laddiei Gale, high-scoring forward or center. Still other freshmen who may fit into the varsity picture are Gale Smith, Leonard Heller, Ford Mul ; len, Dee Phelps and Gail Fouts. 1 Hobson will select 10 regulars by Ghristmas vacation to carry through the 16-game conference ! season. Plans for pre-season games may result in the Webfoots playing several big-time coast opponents here at McArthur court, rather j than an extended Oregon barn j storming tour. "At least 100 per cent improved over last spring” is Hobson’s des i eription of his varsity baseball ; prospects. A glance over the list of returning veterans and sopho ! mores easily bears out bis enthusi ; astic contention. Only five letter ; men will be missing, Captain Don McFadden.

Mi'lard Leads Field Bob Millard, league-leading hurl er last year, leads the holdover veterans, who ure Captain John Lewis. Bud Goodin, Bill Courtney, infielders; John Thomas, catcher, and Ralph Amato, Andy Hurney, and Cliff McLean, outfielders. Sophomore baseballers are classed on the whole as the finest ever to enroll at Oregon. They in clude Lee Irwin, catcher; Bill (Chic) Sayles, Gail Fouts, Johnny Coomler, pitchers; Gale Smith, Ford Mullen, Jack Gordon and Phil Thompson, infie'ders, and Jim Nicholson, John Yerbv, Jack Hay, and Bob Smith, outfielders. George Varoff, newest sensation of the track and field world as record holder In the pole vault, will lead Colonel Bill Hayward’s Wrbfoot track and field squad next spring. He will have the able back ing of such veterans ac Captain Sam McGaughey, miler; Ken Mil ler, ’ half-miler; Jim McDonald, quarter-mller; Frank (Squeak) Lloyd, broad jumper and sprinter; Bill Foskett, Chan Berry, Clyde Walker, shot-put; Leonard Hol land, discus, and Elmer Koskello. A ni’artet of star freshmen will aid Hayward in .plugging holes left by graduated stars. The new men Include Jim Schriver, quarter miler; Ben Marty, high jumper and brother of former-world’s title holder, Walter Marty; Don Barker, miler, and Harry Adams, javelin tosser. Little can be said at present about the Webfoots’ freshmen teams, for not until after registra tion will the coaches know what thev have in the way of material Well-balanced schedules are now in the making for the 1936-37 Duckling athletes.

This may be a gloomy picture, but when one looks over the squad rosters of California, Washington, Southern California, Oregon Stats, and Stanford, to mention a few leading teams, to see double the number of veterans and players, X can’t exactly vision Oregon play ing the Rose Bowl game this year. Ray of Optimism Shines And, yet, even after this some what pessimistic outlook I still be lieve we'll win a few games. We should be a little stronger than last year in backfield material, oretty well fortified in the center of the line, and there is a fine spirit among the players. Where last fall at this same time we had onlv two experienced backfield men, Frank Michek and John Reischman, this fall we will have three—Dale Lasselle, Bob 3raddock and Bud Goodin. Along with these three we have some really good sophomore prospects. Lasselle, who showed improve ment over last year in spring workouts, and Braddock, whom I consider one of the most consistent backs on the coast, are our best bets for left and right halfbacks. Goodin, injured most of last year, will move to fullback in place of Michek. Quarterback Post Vacant That leaves the quarterbacking nost vacant. First in line at pres ent is Don Kennedy, who spent last year as a practically unknown '55-nound halfback. Kennedy has increased his weight to around 180 pounds and should help us a lot. TTe is a good blocker and likes to nlev, which amounts to a great deal in any sport. Our sophomore backfield pros pects include Jim Nicholson and Tom Blackman, left halfbacks; Dave Gammon and Fred Buroker, right halfbacks; Ernie Robertson,’ quarterback, and Jean Lacau and Cliff Strom, fullbacks. Arleigh Bentley, a junior college transfer, should help us either at fullback or quarterback. We have some excellent linemen in the persons of Captain Del Bjork, one of the finest tackles on the coast; Kenyon Skinner, who I will play the other tackle; Joe Huston and Tony Amato, guard3, and Vernon Moore, and Edwin Farrar, centers. Reserve and sophomore linemen include Denny Breaid, center; Nello Giovanini, Bill Estes, Merle Peters and Johnny Pastega. guards; Chuck Shirnomura, Bill Foskett, Cliff Morris, Pat Fury, and Joy Smith, tackles. End Positions Weak There has been a great deal said about the uncertainty over our ends. We went through the 1935 season with Budd Jones and Stan Riordan playing 60 minutes in practically every game. Both men were lost through graduation. Our lone letterman end will be Lief Jacobsen, who saw some ac tion last fall understudying Jones at right end. To lend some strength to the other flank we have con verted John Engstrom, a reserve tackle last fall. Sophomore mater ial is better than usual, but it is hard to know how they will de velc. until v/e see them in actual competition this fall. The sopho mores are Henry Nilsen, Bud Rob ertson, John Yerby and Bob Hin man. All in all, our material is some what stronger than it was at this time last year. If it were not for the heavy schedule ahead of us, I might consider Oregon as a con tender for top honors As it is, with so many green players, we will have to get plenty of breaks and have a minimum of injuries to key plavers to keep in the running. It is hard to predict the outcome of the Pacific coast conference any year, and this fall’s round-robin schedule makes it virtually impos sible. On paper, however, California and Washington appear to have outstanding teams with worlds of material. Stanford, Southern Cali fornia. U.C L.A., Washington State and Oregon State all have excel lent chances of coming through The only thing I am certain of is that the 1936 season should be one of the most hectic in history, with the ultimate victor needing the breaks.

Casciato Plans More Pages, Features For Yearbook Oregon's now spirit of progres ■dveness has bern caught bv Editor Don Casciato ard his staff of the ! Oregana of 1037. in an effort to ] truly present in the next issue of! the yearbook the true advancement of the University. Progress will be the theme of the j publication. Appropriately, the an-! nual will endeavor to mirror the "hanging pattern of our time and j the current struggle for expansion, j especially evident this year in the 1 construction of three new build- j ings, renovations of old structures, ' scholastic advances, and an as- [ cured attendance increase. Plan More Pages The book will boast approxi mately 360 pages, an increase of SO over the 1036 volume, edited by George Root and acclaimed one of the finest hooks on the Pacific coast. Photography will play a greater part this year since a large increase in the number of pictures is also planned. The pictures will be symbolic of all phases of cam pus life and of all campus groups. This year’s volume will be divided into six sections, two more than last year. The Oregana will offer two in novations, unseen in previous Ore ganas which are expected to attract widespread attention and nopularity of the campus. Innovations Idsted First will be an 80 page living organizations section, with two oages of pictures jievoted to each living group. The spread will con tain the usual individual portraits, but in addition, will attractively display pictures of officers of the organization, informal shots of groun members, and pictures of the formal dances. The second novel part of the hook will be a personality and beauty section. The “ideal” Uni versity coed will be selected from Oregon’s feminine enrollment by a iury of campus men, who will also select five of the most beautiful women. The other half of this sec tion will be devoted to a display of campus leaders. Editor Casciato and Ralph Schomp, manager of educational activities, spent the summer months laying clans for the book and actual publication work will begin when school opens Septem ber 21.

WPA funds for this work have already been requested. The University has received a considerable amount of WPA as sistance. WPA has kept about 300 men working on landscaping, building steam tunnels, and repair ing since the fall of 1935. Workers have busied themselves in many places around the campus, improv ing the lawn and shrubbery. Almost $21,000 is being spent to convert the old men's gymnasium into a modern natatorium, with $15,000 coming from WPA federal funds. Workmen are tearing away the south end of the building, and lowering the roof of the north sec tion where the swimming pool is located.

The dance promises to be by far the largest and most important University affair ever held in Salem, Zollie Volchok, chairman, has announced. Also cooperating in seeing that the affair is a suc cess are the alumni in the vicinity, headed by John D. Marrs, Jr„ and University students in the region.
