Freshmen Now, Veterans Soon
Class of 1957. That’s you, Oregon's new freshman class.
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.

THE 'PRESIDENTS' SAY
Welcome to the University
From H. 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.

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
