The Backseat Driver imniiiiiiiiiiimaniiimminnmmimmnnimiiiimnmiimnmiiiiiiiiiiiniimiiiimiw By MARTHA STEWART The train was six hours late. Scheduled to arrive shortly after 9 in the morning, the grey-black pullman ..bearing ..Oregon’s ..new president, Dr. ..Donald . M... Erb, chuffed into the station at precise ly ten and one-half minutes after 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. There was a moment of indecis ion while the group of faculty members and friends of Dr. Erb’s who were awaiting his arrival hes itated over which end of the train he would step from; And then as the cars slowed to a stop, Ore gon’s ..seventh ..president, ..smiling ^genially after a tedious six-hour delay, alighted to shake hands with the assembled dignitaries. There were greetings and intro ductions and then Dr. Erb con sented to stand for a picture with Dr. Boyer and Dr. Hunter. New president, late president, and chan cellor stood side by side talking informally while Camera -man George Godfrey caught their im ae-es. A moment later the three stepped into Dr. Hunter's car and were whisked away. Thus the arrival of Dr. Donald1 M. Erb as president of the Univer sity of Oregon. An honest welcome to you, Dr. Erb. May your stay here be a long and pleasant one! Two nights ago I hastened li brary-ward, armed to file teeth with one volume of Achorn’s his tory (Dr. Marder, Modern Europe, 11 Monday, Wednesday, and Fri day). and one volume of Econom ics (Dean Morris, 9 Monday, Wed nesday, and Friday), and filled with a purpose. I was just enter ing the noble portals of the build ing when a light touch on my arm arrested me and I.turned to find * i myself confronted by a small in dividual in a bright red coat hold ing out to me a somewhat greasy looking manila bag. “Nice home-made candy,” she wheedled. “C’m on ’nd buy some.” , The young lady was in the neigh borhood of ten, and I felt some doubt as to the likelihood of her working her way through college by this commercial venture. How ever, I fumbled momentarily in my purse and fetched forth a couple of coins, whereupon she deposited the sack in my extended hand and I carried it and my burden of books ^iiiiiiuiiiimiiiiiiiiitiiiiiuiiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiniiiiitiNiiiiiuiiiiumiiiiiuiiiiiii^ The Smartest of New Styles I in APOLDA SKI SUITS JACKETS TROUSERS 1 CAPS - SOCKS j and | ACCESSORIES j | as shown in the McDonald | | Theater are featured in | | our Ski Department.
