DuShane, New Director of Stu Dubbed 'Donald the Duck' by Stud* "I was a Duck before I came to Oregon,” Donald M. DuShane, Di rector of Student Affairs, cracked in an interview September 22. He explained that he had acquired the nickname early in life as a result of being named Donald. The above caricature, ‘‘Donald the Duck,” is the work of a student cartoonist of Lawrence College, at Appleton, Wisconsin, where Mr. DuShane was a personnel dean for some years be fore coming to Oregon this fall. Mr. DuShane, a dynamic person with a friendly smile and piercing dark eyes, occupies an office on the second floor of Emerald hall, where all student affairs centers are grouped this year. His tastes are reflected in the Cezanne still life inter-language Offered to UO Extension Class Esperanto, a world inter-lang uage, is now being offered corres pondence students, Miss Mozelle Hair, of the extension division an nounced Friday. A very simple language intended' for international use, Esperanto was written 61 years ago by Dr. L. L. Zamenhof of Warsaw, Poland, after years of study. It stems from many national languages but con tains no exceptions or irregulari ties typical of other languages. Miss Hair described it as “very appropriate for international use.” The Institute of Educational re search at Columbia university, which studied it in 1925, comment ed: “An average college senior or graduate after 20 hours of study will understand it better than French, German Italian, or Spanish after studying 100 hours.” “So far as I know,” Miss Hair said, “it is the only such course offered in the country.” The course is being offered by the University extension division in Portland and may soon be offered at Corvallis. Oregana Artists To Submit Drawings Ed Cauduro, art editor of the 1949 Oregana, has reuested that students who applied for positions as artists on the yearbook submit samples of their work. He will accept samples either at the Oregana office in McArthur court or at the Phi Kappa Psi house before September 30. Approximately 50 students filled out application to do artwork on the book, according to Cauduro. Morris Speaks The Christian church group will hold its first regular meeting Sunday evening at 6 in the YMCA, according to Art Johnson, officer of the group. Dr. V. P. Morris, dean of the business administration school will be guest speaker. and the Van Gogh landscape which he chose to harmonize with his of fice furnishing's. The bright colors of the paintings suggest the straightforwardness of the man himself. \ Confusion v Directly responsible to Mr. Du Shane are the directors of men’s and women’s affairs, Mr. Vergil Fogdall and Mrs. Golda Wickharn. j Considerable confusion has arisen in the midst of new students as a result of the change of titles for these two directors from the old "Dean of Men’’ and “Dean of Women.” When asked the reason for this renaming, Mr. DuShane ex p'ained that under the new system the only deans on the campus are academic deans, or heads of schools and departments, rather than per sonnel deans. Also included under the Office of Student Affairs are the student counseling services, off-campus housing, and the Oregon Dads and Mothers. When Mr. DuShane arrived in Eugene, he announced that he would endeavor to produce a gen eral cooperative feeling between all campus groups. The first stfjp in reaching this goal was the grouping together in one physical plar.*^ all the counseling services and student affairs offices of the University, so that students "will know where to go to get the answers,” the director stated. The general policy of the office, he said, will be not to "coddle stu dents or baby them, but to make available the information the stu dent wants, needs, and is willing to use." "Ana Happier" “More student government and individual responsibility,” he con tinued, “makes for better citizens and beter houman beings. And, ” he added with a grin, “also a happier student body.” When visiting the campus last spring, Mr. DuShane was particu larly impressed by the friendliness of the students and townspeople. Meetings with students—the exec utive council, interfraternity coun cil, and dormitory presidents—to gether with the enthusiasm origin ally caught from President Harry K. Newburn, clinched his decision to come to Oregon, he said. Varied Background His earlier vocational 'back ground is varied: he has served as a newsman, apartment manager, and office manager for a sales agent of a glass and china corporation. How ever, there had always lurked in the back of his mind a desire to follow the path chosen by others of his family and go into education. Summarizing the purposes of his Office of Student Affairs, Mr. DuShane declared: “The personnel services here are not designed to bother, annoy, or restrict unduly; we do want students to feel that Honorary to Meet Sigma Delta Pi, Spanish honor ary, will meet Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. on the Gerlinger sun porch, accord ing to Glenn Morgan, vice-president of the group. He requests all mem bers to be present to outline the year’s program. 1 OMUD’S Golf School & Practice Range— Sheltered tees — lights for nite practice Open 12:00 noon to 10:00 p.m. (lessons it desired) 32nd and Hilyard — 6784-J dent Affairs, nts at Lawrence they have friends when they need them. Our objective is to have things so well run at the University of Oregon that no one will ever have a complaint.” Editor’s Note: This is the first of a series designed to acquaint entering students with the lead ers of student affairs. Interviews with Mrs. Golda Wickham and Vergil Fogdall, directors of men’s and women’s affairs, will appear in later editions of The Emerald. Duck Drivers Defy Draught (Continued from page one) sat next to us in the Pelican cafe offered to bet his barley fields and take Stanford. Six guys down the counter took him up, and he re tired to do some reading and re search on the subject. Bumped into Oregon people at every turn in the great Bay City. Must be several thousand down for the game and all are of the same opinion, to. wit—forget about Ros es and concentrate on the Indians. Feeling quite naked without the familiar bump in the hip pocket but this is a ciivilized state, much as we hate to admit it. No shortage of spirits in bars which are spaced very conveniently through the city —every other door. Weather Contrast Sun shining, birds twitting and all that. Quite a contrast to snow and rainstorm encountered over the Willamette pass. Drivers in San Francisco are very courteous. They won’t run over you if you can out-run them, and the sidewalk is foul territory. Not so in Palo Alto where Duck season is wide open. Spent my last two bucks to get into the game so am sending this collect. Know you will be happy. If we lose, we won’t be home.
