(AP Wirephoto) Ore-Nter Returns To Oregon Ducklings This spring will see a revival of a traditional UO publication on the campus—the Ore-Nter, last published in 1947. A project of the ASUO executive council, the 1949 Ore-Nter will be co-edited by Olga Yevitch, business manager of the 1949 Oregana, and Trudi Chernis, editor-in-chief of the Oregana. The Ore-Nter, a publication designed to interest and acquaint freshmen with the Oregon campus, was discontinued in 1947 due to the fact that there was a problem of duplication with the UO “Welcome” book. In 1945, the Ore-Nter was financed by several campus organizations. The following year the educa tional activities board became financier, and in 1947 both edu cational activities and the fresh man week committee co-operat ed in publishing the book. It has been felt that the “Wel come” book, sole publication direct ed to new students for the past year, has been directed toward too many people — parents, students, and alumni. Therefore, the “Wel come” book will be condensed and added to the student life sections of the Ore-Nter, combining the two publications. Speaking of the decision to start a new publication, Miss Yevitch, explained that “this year's Execu tive Council felt that the 1948-49 Welcome Book was inadequate in imparting information and Oregon spirit to the incoming freshmen. “The old Ore-Nters and numbers of handbooks from other campuses were looked upon as better serving the purpose of extending a warm hand of welcome to the new student and properly introducing him to the ways of our life here at the Uni versity. It was felt that this was at least in part a student problem . . . a joint student-administrative re sponsibility.” In the process of organizing the new Ore-Nter, various student lea ders and administrative personnel have been contacted. Miss Yevitch reports that all per sons contacted thus far have look ed upon the revival of the Ore-Nter with “much favor and enthusiasm.” The efforts of campus organiza tions, both as to content and finan (Please turn to page three) Old Oregon Bids File Deadline Today Deadline for applications for business manager of Old Oregon magazine for 1949-50 is Friday, ac cording to Les Anderson, alumni director.
