Earl flail, named for the University’s late dean of men,

lounge, which boasts a copper paneled fireplace and large windowed doors which lead to a sun porch.
Like other freshmen, Bernle is admittedly confused, but has taken time to formulate two important
opinions, “The food is all right—not as good as home—but pretty good.” As for Oregon's football
team, “I think it can be improved upon."
