DUCK TRACKS
By TOM KING
Approval of a physical education major for Oregon State Col
lege raises some interesting quesitons.
One concerns the arguments used by OSC for its approval. In
them was a notation to the effect that the lack of a PE major has
scared away many prospective athletes from Corvallis.
Thus, a main plank in the OSC case was that many athletes
become PE majors—And it isn’t fair to let them chase down to
other schools to get their book lamin’.
All of which calls for a gross duplication of funds.
Now, let s be fair about it all the way around. If OSC gets a
nice red and pink ribbon then so should Oregon—just like a pair
of twins.
We Want Forestry . . .
Oregon State has forestry. Oregon State has engineering.
Oregon doesn’t have a department or school in either.
Now is physical education more important than engineering
or forestry ? Of course not.
So, while the State Board of Higher Education is duplicating
funds, why doesn’t it duplicate some Oregon’s way. Why not set
up forestry and engineering here? Which is the same as saying
why set up a PE major at OSC?
And We Want Athletes, Too
Oregon State’s answer, in effect, is they need athletes. This is
all very nice and their forthright honesty should be applauded.
However, it doesn’t smack of the ethical standards which insti
tutions of higher learning are supposed to maintain. This is es
pecially true in a state which financially cannot afford duplica
tion as much as otheffstates.
So, Oregon—by the nice red and pink ribbon method—de
serves an engineering or forestry department every bit as
much as OSC deserves PE majors.
After all, in the crusty words of the Beavers, the lack of en
ginering and forestry majors has scared away many top pros
pects from Eugene.
Five Days... Four Games
Four games in five days stare Oregon’s traveling Ducks in
the face as they square away for the opening of the Inland Em
. pire tpjp tonight against Idaho.
If the thing dopes out right, the Ducks should possibly win
three and not less than two on this swing. Idaho figures to be a
double-pushover and if the Webfoots hustle they may tip Wash
ington State.
However, this Vandal series may be a surpriser. As some
body has said, the Idahoans are due. They’re victory-starved
and frustrated. Sooner or later they’re bound to break out of
their lethargy and thump someone when that someone isn’t
looking.
Thus, the Ducks will have to be doubly on their guard, strict
ly speaking, against Chuck Finley’s cagers. Make that a triple—
because the games will be played on the Moscow court.
Cougars May Work Together Now
Washington State is something else again. Oregon caught
fire Cougars at a low ebb when they clipped them down here.
^However, since then the WSC club has pulled itself together
and gone on to notch one win after another. Now that Ed Gayda
is in form, it loks like nothing will stop the Huskies. Gayda, by
the way, is the equal of USC’s high-scoring Bill Sharman in the
opinion of Warren.
It’s no secret that WSC has been split by dissension ever
since the beginning of the season. Either Gayda won’t pass to
Conley or Tappe won’t pass to Gayda. In any event, the boys just
weren’t working together.
Perhaps—at least by recent indications—they have decided
to play ball as a unit.
That, plus the fact that the game, again, will be played on an
alien court means Honest John Warren and his band of basket
ballmen will have to keep on their collective toes.
Aggies Next Week
The Webfoots, too, face a big task after they return. They’ll
face Oregon State next Friday on the home floor. That will be a
key for both clubs, with the Ducks out to avenge the pasting they
received in Corvallis earlier in the campaign.
So, the Webfoots know where they stand and also know
what they must do in order to step up a rung on the Northern
Division ladder.
With Washington State and Washington clutching at each
others’ throats, the championship race has pretty much boiled
down to a two-team affair. But the Webfoots have a chance to
grab a third—and if the Huskies continue to backslide, who
knows but what the Oregon cagers might climb all the way up
to second.
However, that’s a story for another day—one which may not
even be written.
I
'Arguments'
Held Mon.;
East on Bench
Judge William G. East will pre
side over the oral arguments court
Monday at 7:15 p.m., room 3 Fen
ton Hall. Students interested in the
arguments may attend.
The-case to be argued, “Jenkins
vs. Forenson,” involves an inva
sion of property situation.
The defendant has been project
ing advertisements on the side of
the plaintiff’s garage with a slide
projector.
The plaintiff claims all rights to
income received from these ad
vertisements. The defendant
claims there is no cause of action
because no damage occurred.
The councils, Dave Young and
Bill Taesock (appellants on ap
peal), and Ted Goodwin and Jim
Hafrang (respondents on appeal),
present these arguments and de
bate the case before the judges.
They are judged by three judges
who preside as the court. A written
brief is turned in before the ar
guments take place. These are
graded on completeness of author
ity and neatness of preparation.
The brief is considered as a third
of the argument with the oral ar
gument itself deciding the case
and carrying the majority grade
towards the prize.
The oral arguments have existed
in many law schools throughout
the country. In some schools they
are required, optional, or part of
the regular curriculum.
At Oregon, oral arguments are
voluntary, but a two-point is re
quired for participation.

Future Preachers In Training
At Northwest Christian College
By RICHARD K. McLAUGHLIN
So close to the University of Oregon that many consider it
part of the campus stands the Northwest Christian College.
An institution independent of state aid, the College derives
its financial support-from gifts made by individuals and churches
and from instruction fees.
The school and campus, one square block in area, is made up
ot two non-impressive gray
stone buildings. In these build
ings the future preachers and
members of the Church of
Christ train themselves in the
teachings and practices of the
New Testament.
But it is a little more than just
a religious school where men and
women learn the teachings and of
ferings of the English Bible and
Christian Culture. It is a coeduca
tional school made up of men and
women who have devoted their ed
ucational objectives to the cause
of learning.
Church Work Stressed
This learning differs from that
found in other colleges in that it
takes the form of specialized
couress in various phases of church
work. This includes the area of
church music and introduces stu
dents to the vocational phases of
church leadership.
The history of the school goes
back to the year 1895, when the
Christian Church established the
Eugene Divinity School. Three stu
dents registered the first day. And
the graduating class of 1900 num
bered two.
The name of the school was
changed in 1908 to the Eugene
Bible University.
In 1930 financial reverses led to
the loss of all assets of the Uni
versity and the school was closed.
New School Organized
In the same year a new corpora
tion, Eugene Bible College, was
organized in order to provide con
tinued training for ministerial stu
dents. This college provided in
struction until the close of the aca
demic year in 1933.
During the year 1933-34, the col- .
lege continued to operate under
the Eugene Bible College Articles
of Incorporation while the organiz
ation of the Northwest Christian
College was being perfected.
As a corporation the Eugene
Bible College ceased to exist on
January 1, 1946.
During the early years of its
existence, Northwest Christiaan
College leased the campus and
buildings in Eugene held by tfefe
receivers of the Eugene Bible Uni
versity. These were purchased'
later with the final payment being
made in 1944,
Enrollment Increased
Throughout its history the Col
lege has enjoyed a steady increase
in enrollment and in operating in
come. Academic standards have
been advanced from year to year
and the faculty has bteen enlarged
to meet the growing demands upon
it.
Graduates of Northwest Chris
tian College who take the pre
scribed ministerial courses find
ready admittance to graduate
seminaries of accredited standing.
The social life program is sup
ported by the student organization
and faculty. This program includes
picnics, hikes, parties, receptions,
and holiday season dinners.
The opening of school means th«
end of the vacation season, but
Crystal Fuddle says she knows
several young mothers who are
planning to get a rest.
