NEW WILLAMETTE STUDENTS
FIND WAYS TO MAKE FRIENDS
Several Carefully Planned Systems For Breaking
Social Ice For Freshmen j
Now Furthered
By WENDELL, KECK
"Within two weeks between 200
and 300 new college students will
be coming to Salem to enter Wil
lamette university. Many have
wondered just what is the pro
cess of making them acquainted
with one another. With their fel
low students who have been at
Willamette before, and with the
townspeople of Salem.
The Freshman week program,
instituted last fall, is a material
aid in making the freshmen ac
anainted with each other. Dur-
ng thege dayB before school work
begins they are constantly brought
together and are hearing names of
one another without introduc
tions. At Willamette, as at other
schools in the west, the campus
"Hello" is traditional. Everyone
gives everyone else a friendly
greeting at every possible occa
sion, knowing that eventually
there will be a chance to find the
name that belongs with the face.
Men who have been on Jthe cam
pus before introducesthemselves
to the new men and introduce the
new men to each other, and the
girls as a rule do likewise.
-Big Sisters' Help
The "big sister" . movement
among the girls, fostered here by
the campus Y. W. C. A., is the
most systematic effort made at
helping , the new girls become ac
quainted. Miss Anna Mary Mc-
Kinley, of Joseph, Oregon, is di
rector of the big sister work this
year. As the names and addresses
of incoming girls are received at
the university, they are sent to
he and she gives them to junior
and senior girls: .
These pairs of girls correspond.
exchange snapshots, and do as
much as possible to gel acquaint
ed before the opening f school.
When the new girls com to Salem
they are immediately sought out
by their big sisters, and are
helped in every way possible to
become acquainted with other
members of their own and upper
classes. The first Saturday of the
school year the big sisters take
their freshman sisters on a hike
to "Chestnut Farm" east of Sa
lem, where games and a marsh,
mallow roast are enjoyed during
the afternoon.
This year, in addition to the in
dividual big sisters, there will be
six senior girls chosen to be sister
to a group of from 10 to 15 girls.
Each of these six will be a sort of
general Information bureau, and
will work chiefly during the four
days of Freshman week.
Different With Boys
With the boys it is different. No
uch systematic effort is made to
help them get acquainted. The
fellows who are being "rushed"
by fraternities have rather a giddy
time until tbey are pledged to the
house of their choice. But the
men who are not In this category
are usually found in small groups
here and there over the campus
visiting on subjects of immediate
interest. As a rule the men are
more forward ' in meeting each
other, Introducing themselves and
making an effort to get ac
quainted. A year ago at registration time
over 450 students turned in cards
relating to their church affilia
tions or preference. - These cards
represented between 80 and 90
per cent of the total registration
of the school. Of the cards filed,
over 430 indicated either a church
membership or preference. Be
tween 15 and 20 denominations
were represented, including mem
bers ; of the Roman Catholic
church, Christian Scientists, and
a large number of Protestant
churches.
During the first month 6f
school all Epworth Leagues,
Christian Endeavor societies and
other young peoples groups hav.
ing members in the university
hold parties and receptions in
honor of the new students.
At these parties an effort is
made to introduce as many new
students as possible, and these af
fairs are a big factor tn the gen.
eral process of assimilating the
mm
"One of the greatest factors in
local success is the buy-at-home
movement which has gradually
been gaining; impetus during the
past few years, says J. N. Cham
bers manager of the J. C. Penney;
Co.-store in this city.
"It Is the keynote to a success
ful city the expression of confi
dence In the town and its abil
ity to meet the competition of the
test of the United States.
"The buy-at-home movement Is
a co-operative one requiring the
interested help of the local mer
chant, the local residents and the
local newspapers and other fac
tors in publicity.
'The local merchant owes it to
the townspeople to tell them what
he has in stock and what values
he has to offer. Here Is where
the local newspaper becomes the
means of communication between
the merchant and the customer.
"The automobile has shown this
to be true. More and more the live !
merchant In other lines is coming
to the customer first,
"The customer reads the local
newspaper, sees that right at his
or her door there are selections in
clothing, footwear, furniture, the
entire range of necessities and lux
uries, which are metropolitan in
their scope.
"If right then, be or she goes
to the local store, the first step
In Increasing local prosperity Is
taken.
"Steps that the local merchant
may . take In the huy-at-home
movement Include attractive and
carefully prepared local advertis
ing, tastefully arranged local win
dow trims and high standard of
service to the customer inside the
atAm.
WISEST COURSE
new students. Some families
make a practice of Inviting stu
dents attending their church to
their homes for Sunday dinner
and other occasions.
Invitations Welcome
Students welcome these Invita
tions because thev rive oonort uti
lity lor them to become acquaint-
ea witn older people in the citv.
Families seldom realise how much
students appreciate these con.
tacts, or how great a service they
are rendering by having students
in their homes. The hardest bat
tle many a student has during his
college career is fhe battle with
homesickness during the first
weeks away from the home folks.
At the end of,j the . second or
third week of school the two cam
pus christian associations always
hold a joint reception for all stu
dents. This affair is usually
planned in such manner as to in
troduce as large a: number of stu
dents to each other as can pos
sibly be done.. That is its pri
mary purpose. This year, a fac
ulty reception has been planned
for one evening of Freshman week
for the purpose of ; presenting new
students to their teachers and
their families.
The chief problem of the first
month of school is the assimila
tion of newcomers into the va
rious activities of Salem life. Much
is done to help the students know
one another, but very little is!
done to help them meet the older
people of the community where
they live. What they find out
about men of the town they find
out by themselves or by the aid
of fellow students. By the midi
die of their flrstl year, though,
they have acquired a modicum of
knowledge in ttjis realm, and
usually let it suffice.

had considerable to do with re
porters at the Marion county
child health demonstration,
said: "I seldom notice the re
porters' pencil and "paper. I
just-think of it as part of their
business to use them. It ?eems
to me it is quite business-like."
AUGUST KNUTSON, of the
Camera Film shop on Liberty
street, said: "Using pencil and
paper strikes me as a "bum"
idea. People, unless they are
used to being interviewed, will
talk and talk before pencil and
paper appears; but when they
see that what they say is going
to be written down in black and
white, they shut u;? like clams.
They are afraid they are liable
to say too much."

HANDLING MAIL IN SALEM
SYSTEMATIC, THOROUGH JOB
Glimpse Behind Scenes At Post Offfice Brings To
Light Some Highly Interesting
Facts Of Note
By GENEVIKVK MORGAN i '
HE public has a way of condemning and condoling its servants,
but none perhaps more systematically and foolishly ' than that
twice-a-day individual, the mailman. It's "the mailman forgot
to bring me a letter today;" or "the postman must have lost that let
ter Anne Sue wrote yesterday;' or with a spurt of satisfied glee:
"Oh. see what a friend of mine the mailman is!" This last, of
course, when the mail carrier leaves
a parcel, or again there is the
glimpse, and opines he'd like to
a few letters a couple of times
a day."
And the mailman goes his busy
way. pleasing and displeasing as
the contents of his mail bag may
dictate.
How Mail Is Handled
With such a rattling of type
writer keys and juggling of words,
let's get down to the more serious
and exacting business of learning
cometntng or tne working ma
chinery in that grey stone build
ing where we buy stamps and post
letters and. packages, and from
which these mailmen come to
bring our messages, good or bad
or bills.
