Among Our Blessings
Taking off for home today, are you? Looking forward
to that big turkey dinner tomorrow ? Anxious to get a wav from
this classroom grind for four days? Most of us can answer
yes to all these questions.
But is this all the Thanksgiving holiday means to you—
a chance to get home, enjoy some of that wonderful home
cooking, and get away from campus to catch up on some
sleep? If it is, then you’ve missed the entire meaning of
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a time to pause, reflect on our blessings
and give thanks to God. And we have much to be thankful
for—a world at peace, our land of plenty, the freedom to
thank #God on this day.
We of the college crowd have even more to be grateful for.
Did you ever stop to think of this education you are acquiring
as a blessing? Probably not. But the freedom to learn offered
us at the University is a distinct privilege, one that not all
can enjoy.
College students are the select ones, even in our advanced
society. Not many have the opportunity, as we do, to con
tinue their education at the higher level.
The freedom of thought allowed students in Americanj
colleges and universities is a right-denied the young people
of a large percentage of the world. We have no thought-con
trolling education ministry, no censoring government bureau
watching our every move.
This freedom of advanced study is one we might include
among our blessings when we pause tomorrow to give thanks.
It should not be taken for granted.
Number Fourteen
It has been fifteen years since the University lias retired
a player’s number. Fifteen years ago the numbers of the
starting five players on the national champion basketball team
were retired, and the jerseys were put on display in McArthur
court.
It’s time, we think, to retire another player’s number.
We mean, of course, football number fourteen—the number
worn by George Shaw in bringing football fame to the
University of Oregon.
Players like Shaw don't come along every year; they never
come to many schools. We think it highly fitting, therefore,
to hang up jersey number fourteen in honor of a real football
great.
Pleasant Environment
fcven though I’m flunking, Professor Snarf, I always look
forward to attending your class.”
NO SECRET FORMULA
UO Phi Beta Kappas Offer
Scholastic Success Ideas
By Sam Frear
Emerald Reporter
No one formula exists to
achieve a high grade point in the
opinion of this year's Senior Six
of Phi Beta Kappa, national
scholastic honorary.
The four men and two coeds
offered different theories to ex
plain their scholastic success at
the University.
The six, who will be initiated
in the honorary on December 2,
are picked from the top 25 sen
iors in the University. The cri-1
teria for selection is that at least
50 per cent of the student’s work
must be in liberal arts and that!
no more than one third of his
work be in any one department. ;
Only those seniors in the upper !
25 of their class who meet these i
qualifications are considered for
election to the Senior Six. Grade
point averages of this year's
Senior Six ranged from 3.63 up.
Edward Toyooka
Edward Toyooka, now attend-"
ing the medical school in Port
land, is known to be a very ser- j
ious and diligent scholar. A na
tive Portlander who graduated
from Gresham high, Ed majored
in general science while at the
University.
He was a member of Phi Eta
Sigma, freshman men's scholas
tic honorary, and president of
Asklepiads, pre-medical honor- ;
ary. At this time Ed's plans do
not go beyond completion of
medical school.
Gerald Alexanderson
Gerald Alexanderson, a mathe-1
matics major from Eugene, is!
not sure where the credit for his
scholastic success should go. He
does not think that he has any
special formula for studying.
Gerry is a member of Phi Eta
Sigma, Pi Delta Phi, French
honorary, and Phi Mu Epsilon,
mathematics honorary. He plana
to do graduate work after this
year.
Jacqueline Saylor
Jacqueline Saylor, one of the
two coeds on the “Six,” says she
"disobeyed all the rules you are
supposed to follow" in studying. !
She says that she never seemed
to be caught up and was “al
ways doing the things you aren’t
supposed to do.”
Jackie, a senior in Spanish,
says that if any one thing helped
her scholastically it was the en
couragement of her professors.
Jackie belongs to Alpha Lamb
da Delta, freshman women’s hon
orary, and Sigma Delta Pi,
Spanish honorary. She also has
been active in the WRA.
Sylvia Wingard
The other woman member of
the Senior Six is Sylvia Wingard,
currently one of the four women
in the law school. Sylvia says
her pet theory is “concentration
being the key to studying.” She
says that when she studies she
lets nothing interfere or disrupt
her.
The current president of Mor
tar Board, senior women’s honor
ary, Sylvia was also a member
of Phi Theta Upsilon and Kwama
and was president of Alpha
Lambda Delta.
Sylvia finds that law school
requires about twice as much
studying as she did before, but
she adds, “I love it.”
Gerald Ohlsen, a chemistry
major from Springfield, carried
Athletic Director
Injured by Saw
Oregon Athletic Director Leo
Harris was injured by a power
saw Sunday afternoon while fell
ing trees.
Harris cut his right leg while
using the saw in a lot next to his
home. Nick Markulis, sophomore
in liberal arts, who was helping
Harris, applied first aid and had
a doctor called.
Harris was taken by ambu
lance to Sacred Heart hospital
where he was treated and re
leased. The doctor reported that
the injury was only a flesh
wound.
«n average term loud of 23 hours
last year and still made his ex
ceptional grades.
Gerry, a member of Phi Eta
Sigma and Phi Mil Epsilon, says
that organization, “understand
ing and relating new things to
what you already know," is the
key to success.
He wants to do graduate work
but at another University.
Hob Summers
Bob Summers, ASUO presi
dent, in spite of an active extra
curricular schedule is among the
top scholars in the senior class.
Boh, twice chosen outstanding
man of his clans, wun h member
of .Skull ami Dagger and Druids,
and is also a member of Friars
and Phi Eta Sigma.
The political science major
rays that studying demands dis
crimination and sacrifice. "You
have to choose the things to do
that are the most important for
you," Hummers said. "This nat
urally Involves sacrifice."
Me also feels that It Is im
portant to study alone. Boh does
not think that semi rutting for
tests is too helpful.

DECEMBER AND MAY: ACT II
Synopsis of Act I: A middle-aged English Professor named Phipps
has fullcn desperately in love with u rosy-kneed coed nmned Mc
Fetridge. Phipps doesn’t know how to go nbout courting Mis*
McFetridgc, for, after all, he is a professor in the autumn of his
life, and she is a coed with rosy knees. Professor Twonkey, who
shares an office with Phipps, proposes the following plan: Phipps
will ask Miss McFctridge to come to his office for a conference late
in the afternoon. He will be urbane and charming and make fright
fully witty remarks about English lit, and Miss McFctridge will
laugh and laugh. After an hour of this high-type hilarity, Phipps
will look at his watch, exclaim at the lateness of the hour, and insist
on driving Miss McFctridge home. On the way home, he will pass a
thuutre that shows French movies. They’ll see the movie, then have
an exquisite French dinner, and Miss McFctridge will be so enchanted
that she cannot but yield to his suit.
So at the beginning of Act II, we find Phipps in his office awaiting
the arrival of the poor young innocent. Ilia hair is brushed; hi*
nails are clean; he has new leather patches on hi* elbow*. There is
a knock on the door. He opens it and admits a gorgeous creature with
blue eyes and pink kneecaps.
Piiipps: Ah, Miss McFetridgc. Come in, my dear. Won’t you sit
down? Cigarette?
Miss McF: Ooh, Philip Morris! I think they’re mnrvy, don’t you?
Phipps: I do indeed.
Miss McF : Hey, prof, would you mind opening a fresh pack?
Phipps: But l just opened this one a little while ago. It’s perfectly
fresh.
Miss McF: I know, prof, but I like to hear the snnp when the
pack opens.
Phipps: Very well, my dear.
(He^opens a fresh snap-open pack of Philip Morris. Miss
McFet ridge claps her hands delightedly when she hears the
snap.)
Miss McF: Hey, that fracture* me! Man, I flip when I hear that
crazy snap! Do another one.
Phipps: All right.
(He snaps open another pack of Philip Morris)
Miss McF: (Ecstatically) Isn’t that the living, breathing end? Do
two at once.
Phipps: Well, if you insist...
(He does two at once)
Miss MCF: More! More!
Phipps: I’m afraid that’s all I have.
Miss McF: Oh . . . Well, what’s up, prof? What did you want to
see me about?
Phipps: Oh, nothing in particular. Just wanted to have a little
chat, find out how you’re enjoying the Shakespeare lectures.
Miss McF: I don’t know, prof. By me Shakespeare is strictly a
square.
Phipps: Indeed? Well, I must say 1 find youf attitude refreshing.
One is so inclined toward slavish admiration when it comes to the
rw;P nfor£1^ th2l ln many. Shakespeare is regarded
quite critically. Take, for example, the opinion of Shaw.
Miss McF: Artie?
I iiipps. George Bernard...You know, of course, his famous words.
Miss McF: I sure don’t, dad.

Phipps: No, I don’t believe so.
Miss McF : I don’t dig him either.

so late. Gome, my dear, I’ll drive you home. i«a u wag
