Many of you are a little awed by the inevitable strangeness of this new environment, but that is to be expected. Most of the upperclassmen, looking back, remember that they felt the same way when they were New Student Week frosh, espe cially with all the “orientation” being thrown at them. You all have ideas about what you will find here, some of them bad, most of them good, many of them false. It won’t really be very long before you will be veterans at Oregon’s college life. You will have met and sized up the courses (though maybe not have conquered them), the dances, the honoraries, the University lectures, the “sosh” sessions, the football games, the get-to-gethers at the SU, the living or ganizations, the myriad other groups on campus, and all the rest. But you will find this out a lot better than \ve can tell you. You will discover that the lowly freshman hazed by stern upperclassmen is pretty much a myth at Oregon. You will find that Oregon isn't a raucous “country club,” but that it definitely isn’t another Oxford, either. We can reflect on what many students may be missing by neglecting, for instance, earnest application in the more valu able courses (and there are some of those), but the actual de cision is yours alone. We have no desire to teM you what to do, and we know it wouldn’t make an awful lot of difference, anyway. Did you come to Oregon because you want special train ing in a chosen vocation such as architecture, teaching, or law? Are you looking for a “liberal education,” that elusive goal which provides an insight into knowledge itself? Are you after a fling at the social life here? You probably came here because you want all of these, to more adequately prepare yourself for a well-rounded life, and because college is in style. You may know that the upperclassmen are regarding you with a pitying, interested look, that to them you are “those freshmen.” But that is superficial and temporary. It won’t take long for you to become part of the “crowd.” We extend to you a sincere welcome to Oregon.

K. Newburn Retiring President It is a pleasure to join with President Victor P. Morris in welcoming to the University those students who are enrolling for the first time. I can assure you that you will find here an unlimited storehouse of wisdom which is freely available to those who are seeking learning. You will find this an en joyable and profitable exper ience to the degree that you actively seek for knowledge and understanding. The Uni versity of Oregon is a friendly but energetic environment de signed to aid those who want to be educated. As I leave the University my fondest hope is that each of you entering it will take full advan tage of your opportunities for a rich and rewarding experience here. H. K. Newburn Bibler Back at UO Dick Bibler's cartoons start their fifth straight year in the Emerald with today’s No. 1 issue. Bibler began college cartoon ing in 1946 at Kansas Univer sity, later creating his Little Man on Campus, Worthal, and Professor S n a r f, Worthal's teaching nemesis. Bibler’s first cartoon was published when he was 12. “It would have been better for me if the editors of that paper had written my folks and told them to let that kid have any thing to play with except a drawing pencil,” he says. From Tom Wrightson ASUO President To All Incoming Freshmen: On behalf of the Associated Students of the University of Oregon I would like to welcome the Class of 1957 to our Univer sity. These first few weeks will l*e full of problems but I'm sure that as the term progresses you will realize that Oregon is a swell place to go to school. The main thing to re member is not to get discour aged. The donn counselors, ad m i n istrators, and members of the class honor aries are here to help. The other old stu dents, too, will be glad to help straighten you out. Also, to make this first year more enjoyable, take part in many of the opportunities of fered to you. These include hall organizations, Frosh ath letics, intramurals, and work on the various campus publica tions, in the Student Inion program, and on other student committees. These activities form a large part of your ed ucation. Make the most of them without neglecting your studies. The four years you spend here can be four of the best of your life. It depends on you—Good Luck. Tom Wrightson ASl'O President From Victor P.
