Student Directory
Being Improved
Following the trend for more
student appeal, the new student
directory which is to be issued the
end of the second week of school
will contain valuable information
and interesting highlights on the
University campus. Incorporating
the best features of the old student
handbook with the “Pigger’s
Guide” the 1936-37 guidebook of
fers novel items, the Oregon songs,
yells, and traditions, cartoons, in
formation in general on campus
life and customs, a directory of
students, faculty members, and a
business and professional directory.
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.

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.

Larger Enrollment
This year’s enrollment will be
much greater than last year, if the
number of people coming to Janet
Smith’s employment office at the
YMCA is any indication.
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.

Summer School
Attendance Up
Figures recently released show
that both the regular and the post
sessions of summer school this
season had increases in attendance
over last year. Students at the
regular session numbered 697,
while a year ago only 619 attended.
For the post session the total en
rollment was 219, compared with
202 a year ago. This increase was
a surprise in that for the first time
Oregon State college held a post
session also.
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.

One feature of the book which is
expected to prove especially popu
lar on the oamous is the abundant
use of informal candid campus
photographs. Several snapshots de
picting some phase of campus life
and representing some group will
be found on virtually every page
of the volume. “The pictures will
be of interest to everv student,”
said Casciato. “The leaders, natur
ally, will be emphasized, but the
pictorial department of the publi
cation will not be devoted exclu
sively to these few. The students in
the background of activities will
be included.”
