The Year Ahead
It’s going to be a good year.
Orientation week is over, rush week is over—now it’s time
to take a look at the year ahead of us. The past two weeks
have been long ones, but what’s coming in the weeks ahead?
There’s something to look forward to whether your tastes
are intellectual or limited to a brief struggle with Togo.
After all, the Rose Bowl isn't everything.
Assemblies this year should be good, some excellent men
are scheduled. We understand Novelist John Dos Bassos
will be among the speakers, and several other well known
persons have expressed willingness to appear on campus
although their names have not yet been released.
Enrollment is up, and it should be a great year for activi
ties. With more people on campus, attendance should be
better at everything from a browsing room lecture to a foot
ball rally.
And we see a very welcome change in activities with the
plan of the three women’s organizations to co-operate and
work together in their programs this year. The YWCA, Asso
ciated Women Students and the Women’s Athletic associa
tion are beginning a truly admirable step toward a well
planned activity program.
If your interests lie in the political field, there should be
plenty to do. Three vacancies are present on the senate now
How they're filled may make a difference in senate activities
in the month to come.
We hesitate to predict how active the senate will be this
year, but we feel the outlook is good. ASUO President Bob
Summers has some plans, and he has good people on the
senate with whom to work. This should be an active senate.
Perhaps this year there’ll be greater co-operation between
the senate and the administration. More working together.
That way more can be done.
University President O. Meredith Wilson is beginning his
first full year at Oregon. And there are other changes in
administration. The appointment of A. L. Ellingson as Stu
dent Union director is one with which we heartily agree
Ellingson won the respect and approval of students as coun
selor for men and we think he’ll continue to do that in his
new job.
It’s going to be a good year—and if it’s not to be the Rose
Bowl, maybe an Oregon student will win the national bridge
tournament for us.—(J.W.)
Laugh or Flunk
“One big advantage in having to take this course over is that
I know when I’m supposed to laugh.”
