Graduating Classes GiverSundry Presents liy SALLY CUMMINGS Emerald Reporter Your reporter took a walk last Sunday. fAt the request of the feature editor who held the gun.) i In the bitter cold of winter I set out to find the gifbTgiven'to^the University by various graduating1 classes. I swam across the quad first to Straub Hall where in the lobby rests a nickel bust of John Straub. It was presented by the class of 1933. After resting a moment on the bench in front of Straub— courtesy class of 1910, I stopped by the cemetery to chat with Stinkers” who were cleaning up this “scenic” spot (but that's an other story- see Emerald;. The library was my next stop where I checked my watch by the Grandfather’s clock in the office of the University librarian. This clock, donated by the class of 1908, said 3:55 for 10 minutes so I gave up and went outside to get a drink I of water at the fountain donated by the class of 1939. The fountain was dry and so was I. However, there is an inspiring inscription carved into its plaque which was written by Robert D. Horn, profes sor of English. Next I looked in on Fenton pool, scene of recent activity during Homecoming. It was donated by the class of 1913. The class of 1920 donated the Fenton fountain, which works this year for the first time since the war years. So i did get a drink of water. The Oregon Seal was transplant ed from in front of Villard hall to the walk in front of the Student Union in 1950. The seal was given by the class of 1912. The most curious gift is a large square stone near Villard hall, with the inscription “Class of 1898“ carved in it. It seems to serve no purpose, but adds to the view. It is guarded by two oak trees, class es of 1897 and 1900. Clock To Be Set Back to the Student Union for a coke, I found the plaque dedicated to all University students who ever served in the armed forces. The plaque was presented to the Uni versity by the class of 1943, and 1913 Scabbard and Blade and the 1943 IFC. After gathering all this infor mation, I sat in the SU and wond ered if the class of ’53 might set the clock, fix the library fountain and decide for us and posterity, “what is the gift given to us by the class of ’98.’’ ***► Leave after your last class— FLY UNITEB -BE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS IN A FEW HOURS Eugene: for reservations, travel agent. COMPARE TKE FARE AND This sign language can save your life • Right turn ® Left turn/ pulling away from curb, or backing up ® Stopping or slowing down If other drivers were mind-readers, you wouldn’t have to give hand signals. Unfortunately they're not. So when you make a sudden turn or stop with out signalling, you run the risk of an accident. Protect your car and yourself by learning the correct, legal signals and using them properly. In this way you tell other drivers what you are going to do before you do it. Remember—hand signals are more important today because there are more cars than ever on the road. Don’t take a chance—make hand signalling a habit. Be careful—the life you save may be your own!
