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.’’

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!
