The cartoons of Bob Colvig, sophomore in journalism, will be an original feature of this year’s book. Drama Head Back; Plans New Plays Refreshed by a vacation visit to San Francisco and the bay region, Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, head of the University drama division, is back on the campus with many new theatrical ideas “up her sleeve.” With increased enrollment, some new equipment and much en thusiasm, she predicts the 1936-37 season to be one of the most suc cessful in the history of the University theatre. Many of the new Broadway hits are under consideration for the opening play, but further announcements must wait until after classes start. During summer session the department received Mrs. Seybolt’s spring-term production of “Outward Bound” with another cast, and then presented Sidney Howard’s “The Late Christopher Bean,” Horace w. rtODinson directing. Both shows were highly successful. Enjoys ‘Romeo and Juliet’ In San Francisco Mrs. Seybolt saw a number of fine dramatic offerings, including "Parnell,” with Otto Kruger and Edith Barrett and the roadshow presentation of the film, “Romeo and Juliet” with Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard. Mrs. Seybolt said that it was an exquisite picture and the finest rendition of the Shakespearean love story she had ever seen in the theatre. In a natural outdoor theatre Mrs. Seybolt attended the Berke !ey Community theatre’s produc tion of "Rip Van Winkle,” which incidentally will be the first pro duction by Eugene’s Very Little theatre, and in which Mrs. Seybolt has a leading role. UO Band to ‘Swing It’ At Fall Games, Rallies University of Oregon students will be pleased to know that the Webfoot pep band will continue to "swing it” at athletic contests this year. A reorganized 38-piece "swing time” band will furnish the music at all Duck rallies and be tween-half ceremonies. The Oregon band received wide acclaim and won tremendous cam pus popularity last spring when “The Music Goes Round,” a then current popular hit, was offered as a speciality at basketball games. The mixture of jazz with the tra ditional University songs proved so popular that the bandsmen will continue to “jazz it” this fall.

ROTC Fight Hot As Vote Push Opens Student leaders of the initiative to make military training non compuisory in the state schools of Oregon will launch a unified pre election campaign next week. Al though the Oregon Committee for Peace and Freedom, sponsor, has been active throughout the sum mer, a new high in peace education is planned for the coming six weeks preceding election. • The measure went on the ballot with nearly 2,000 names to spare last spring, and will be the center of more interest than any other this fall, it is expected. The OCPF during the summer has issued bi weekly bulletins to a mailing list of nearly 1500. It has arranged for articles in the leading liberal and student publications of the na tion, has issued news releases, and filled speaking engagements. The optionalists held forth at a booth at the state fair, distributing nearly 10,000 leaflets and other lit erature on the non-compulsory in itiative. Eight publications of the Noncompulsory Initiative bulletin are contemplated, of which four have already been published. . The committee’s clipping service indicates that the initiative is get ting more attention in the state’s press than any other measure on this fall’s ballot. The speakers’ committee is planning radio talks and debates to be held over nearly every station in the state during the last weeks of the campaign. The committee for national pub licity has placed articles in the Christian Century, the Progressive, the Christian Science Monitor, the Intercollegian, Student Advocate, and other liberal publications. Information Book Ready at YMCA Hut “What Does Education Mean t6 Freshmen?” study methods, bud geting of time, and participation of students in extra-curricular ac tivities, are only a part of the advice for freshmen contained in the “Green Invasion” issue of the Intercollegian, which freshmen may have for the asking at the YMCA building during rush week. Glenn Griffith, YMCA secretary, urges that freshmen get their copies soon, as the supply is limited. Flood Old timers on the Oregon cam pus will say “hello” to the class of 1940 at the first campus dance following the Portland game Fri day evening, and Dan Flood, above, and his popular orchestra are to furnish the music. ‘Hello’ Dance Opens Fall Social Season Dan Flood’s Swing Band Will Play; Club Tickets To Be Placed on Sale A gala, informal opening of Ore gon’s fall term social season will follow the University of Portland football game Friday night, when Skull and Dagger, sophomore ser vice honorary, stages the “Hello” dance for freshman students in Gerlinger hall. * Dan Flood’s versatile dance band of Portland will play. A week’s en gagement by the Flood band re cently conclude the summer danc ing program at Jantzen beach. This orchestra has played in the Northwest during the past four years and is well known to this campus, having appeared at num erous Oregon dances, the most re cent of which was the Military ball last winter term. The “hello” dance is an annual feature in form of a welcome dance for new students and Dan Flood (Please turn to page five) Dr. Boyer Welcomes Class of ’40 The faculty and the administration extend to the entering class of 1940 a warm welcome. We are delighted to see you on the campus and hope that you will soon come to think of this campus as your home and make it a home to be proud of. At present, your faces are strange to us, but we look forward with pleasure to becoming acquainted soon with each and every one of you. Do not be backward in seeking the acquaintance of the administrative officers or other members of the faculty. Consult with your advisers freely. They want to know you as much as you want to know them. You bring with you fresh hopes and new aspirations which we hope to see crystallized in admirable achievements in the future. University Trains Leaders The University exists to train the future leaders of society. It trains them by enabling them to realize their possibilities, thus making them more valuable to society. We are here to offer such guidance as our experience seems to warrant, but you are the actual doers and thinkers of the future. To exercise leadership a background of knowledge is necessary together with ability to meet new situations and solve problems. A man with a particular skill but no background is lost as soon as a change in conditions does away with the need for that skill. In society, particularly in the political and economic world, knowledge and adapt ability are of extreme importance. There is a constant need of fore sight and poised judgment. Steady Application Needed Great leadership and sound judgment are inseparable from strong character. But character is not formed by merely wishing it or by dramatizing yourself. It is formed by a long series of acts and decisions. It is formed by steadily applying yourself to the task before you. It is formed by bearing responsibility. The character that is to sustain you and redound to your credit in the future is not formed by loafing or by yielding to diversions, but by constructive activity and sustained effort. It is formed in the University by conscientious application to study, by team work and good sportsmanship in play, by graciously and conscientiously assuming responsibility in social life. Be Yourself! Live up to your best self, your strongest self. Cultivate initiative, independence, and self-reliance, but do not forget sympathy, deference, and good manners. Do not make the mistake of thinking that polite ness is subservience or that boorishness is independence. It is im portant for your own future and the future of your country that you should develop as well-rounded individuals, neglecting neither the social, the physical, nor the intellectual side of your natures. The curricula and the extra-curricular activities of the University are or ganized to help you to realize your own possibilities. The task is not easy and you are likely, during your freshman year, to become con fused and discouraged. But do not let difficulties overcome you. Lool^ upon them as a challenge to your perseverance and ingenuity. It is thus that leaders are made. C. V.

All Saturday the outer office was so full of prospective student-la borers that the Emerald reporter had to resort to the telephone in order to reach Miss Smith. But the increased number of stu dents looking for jobs doesn’t daunt the vigorous employment of ficer. “There are more jobs this year than last, and town and Univer sity people are continuing to give use their usual generous support. “Besides, students have more money to start with than they have for a long time, because jobs were more plentiful this summer,” she1 said.

Larger ’37 Oregana Has New Features A modern, informal yearbook, greater in volume by 80 pages than the 1936 book, boasting several original innovations, and representing pictorially every group on the campus and as many individuals as is technically possible, will be the Oregana of 1937, edited by Don Casciato, senior in the school of journalism. “Every page an improvement is our byword,” says Casciato. “Groundwork for actual publication of the book has been laid during the summer months and all indications point to an Oregana finer than nnv cvec prinfcd on ♦'ho campus.
