The Sight Is High
We’re going to stick our editorial neck out.
Following our appointment last spring as editor of the Daily Trojan, we had a short talk with Dr. Fred D. Fagg Jr.. president of the university, and came away with the idea that for SC during the coming year, the sight has been set high.
FoKan opening editorial on the first day of publication, probably is not a startling statement; editors have a/habit of predicting big things for the university each September.
What impressed us in that talk was the forthright and /unequivocal manner in which Dr. Fagg explained his plans. That is why we are sticking out our editorial nedk; if the things we predict here today haven’t been made more concrete by action by next June, you have carte blanche to trundle us to the nearest guillotine.
Dr. Fagg was particularly concerned about the problem presented to students by increased tuition rates. I&ade necessary by increasing costs (something like that pound of steak the missus used to get for half a buck, Joe, and now pays §1.50 for), the whopping big jump in the cost of getting an education merely brought SC up to a par with other universities of its size. Yet,
*’ you’ll say, there ought to be some tangible return on that extra two bucks—something that will make you proud to send Joe Jr. here when the time comes. Our information is that Dr. Fagg doesn’t intend to let you down in that department.
First off, there is the matter of raises for the faculty. That little item has been takefi care of already, and

To you who are here for the first j time, and to you to whom the campus is a familiar place, the university extends a cordial greeting and a prediction that this will be one of the most eventful years of your lives.
Perhaps you have already sensed this in the tumult of preparation for the beginning of classes. Certainly there is nothing stagnant about trus adventure you are about to undertake.
You are a select group. Even though your numbers are many, there is a much larger group on the outside who could not obtain, for one reason or another, the opportunity that is yours. I hope you will make the most of it, even in the face of such unavoidable hardships as crowded classes and closed sections. I say unavoidable because in these times the university is obligated to the absolute limit of its lacilities to afford the opportunity of education to those who have earned it.
The best of man's ideas are waiting for you in the classrooms, laboratories. and libraries of this campus. To help you find and absorb these ideas, there is a friendly and able faculty that is the particular

Welcome to another big year! It is one which has every opportunity of showing more progress in student government and more constructive work than any other in recent years. Our student government is composed of men and women who, to a very great degree, are well versed in student affairs— people wrho know what we need to increase school spirit and have the know-how to accomplish their purpose.
We have a fine, forceful, and understanding president in Dr. Fred D. Fagg. He has one year under his belt and has the welfare of the students uppermost in his mind.
Our activities commence w’ith a bang! We have already completed a portion of our orientation program; we have an AMS smoker this week, a pep rally, and a football game; we will have more rallies and more games; the Stanford trip is a big event; and Homecoming week will be here beiore very long.
All of these things are planned to help make your college life more interesting and complete. None ol them will be a success unless you do your share. You must show the enthusiasm. Get that TROJAN SPIRIT and make this a year to remember!
Johnny Davis, President, ASSC.
Zech New Counselor For Men
Dr. Warren Devotes Fulltime to Psychology As Department Head
Dr. Albert F. Zech, formerly assistant to the dean of men, was recently appointed counselor of men which is the new name for the office of the dean of men. Dr. Neil D. Warren resigned the post last summer to give full time to the department of psychology, of which he is the head.
Although the title of the office has been changed from dean of men to counselor of men, the office setup will not be changed, according to Dr. ZecJ^®
WARREN HAD BOTH
Dr. Warren held both the offices of the dean of men and head of the department of psychology, dividing his time between them for the last two years.
The new counselor of men has been with the university for the last three years. Previous to that he was in the navy three and one-half years. When he first came to the university following his discharge, Dr. Zech worked with the Veteran's Guidance center. After six months there he became assistant to the dean of men.
TOURED EUROPE
Before World War II, he spent 13 years in administrative and guidance positions in the San Diegcf public school systems. Earlier, he toured Europe by bicycle studying the cultures of 15 different countries.
In 1940. Dr. Zech was studying at Oxford university. He returned to the United States and enlisted in the navy. Altogether he has 18 years military service, having served in both the army and navy as enlisted man and officer in each branch.

11,000 Veterans Register Under GI Bill No Letup Seen From Crowded Conditions
An expected enrollment of more than lb.OOO persons will begin fall classes today, as SC enters upon its second year under the presidency of Dr. Fred D. Fagg Jr.
It is estimated that 11,000 of those enrolled in the university will be veterans—attending either under the provisions of the GI bill of rights or state aid.

Handbook Gives Dope to Frosh.
Hear ye, hear ye! Students, vets^eshmen, and music majors; the Trojan handbook is out and ready for reading.
Where to go, how and when to find things, and school services are listed for the befuddled and confused Trojans who find themselves on the campus for the first time. A graphic map of the campus is included in the center page for expediency in finding buildings and eateries on campus.
The handbook is being distributed in the gym at the registration desks. Only 5000 copies were printed, and it is requested that students do not take more than a single copy.
Fagg Delivers Assembly Talk For Freshmen
Standing before a student gathering for the first time this term, President Fred D. Fagg Jr. and other campus leaders last week extended a welcoming hand to incoming freshmen and transferees.
Dr. Fagg, addressing a special orientation assembly in Bovard auditorium, told the new students that they are joining a sizable community, and that they are “becoming members of a pretty large team.”
COLLEGE BEST
The president said that four years of college can be the happiest of a person’s life, and he urged the newcomers to get the most out of their sojourn at SC and to enjoy whatever the university has to offer to the fullest possible extent.
“He went on to say that “each student should participate in whatever extracurricular activity he finds to his liking.”
At the conciusion of Dr. Fagg’s short speech, Johnny Davis, ASSC president, took the rostrurii to extend the welcome of SC’s student government to the new Trojans.
YOUTH NEEDED
New students, said Davis, should get into student activities as soon as possible, because “we need more youthful enthusiasm in order to keep up the traditional spirit of Troy.”
Davis outlined briefly the plans which have been drawn up for a series of orientation activities for both men and women students starting with an AMS smoker for men, which wrill be held Thursday evening, under the direction of Dave Evans.
Robert D. Williams, assistant registrar, proceeded to describe io detail the intricacies of registration for the benefit of the newrly arrived students.
approximately 1200 more persons had enrolled than at the same time last fall. Final figures on total registration will not be available until later this week.
Despite vigorous efforts by Dr. Fagg to put a planned expansion and development program into ef-

Evidence of the activity aimed at expanding available facilities was seen all over the campus! Preparations for new office space for the recently created department of development were going forward rapidly. Office furniture was moved in Saturday, and the department is expecting to be firmly settled within a few days.
Meanwhile, the block of shops between what were formerly the university photography shop and the Wooden Horse was being re-modfled in preparation for the movement the information' and ticket offices and the postoffice.
Gallons of paint have been added to the walls of Troy, and students were cautioned by Business Manager Elton D. Phillips against defacing the new surfaces. Furniture for the newly decorated student lounge on the third floor of the Student Union is being milled now.

Morley Urges Activity Book Purchase Now
Promptness in purchasing activity books is urged by Ticket Manager John Morley because of the time required in fulfilling the new requirement of personal photos on every book.
The pass book office has been transferred to the basement of Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall. To avoid confusion and delay over Oregon state game tickets, students should have pass photos taken by Wednesday of this week.
Students purchasing books will receive receipts for their money when the purchase is made and the pass books when photos have been printed and affixed. Printing "win be done on oneSj^i*^ of graphic paper folded ticket will be detached at ^ game. The cost of the book is $i:
Married veterans may obtai. passes for their wives by presenting ieceipts for their own pass books at 211 Student Union where they will receive applications for extra books. Cost of extra books is the same as that of student books. Wives’ pictures are not required. This plan replaces the practice of issuing faculty tickets to married vets.
Ticket Manager Morley also announced availability of application forms for faculty tickets in the ticket office. All full-time faculty members or those carrying at least one-half the allowable load are eligible for these tickets.
VA Predicts Late Checks
In case you are the brightly optimistic type and expect your VA check Oct. 1, you may be in for a letdewn.
According to campus VA officials, the usual fall check foul-up is anticipated again. The office explained the situation last week with a slightly vague, “It’s pretty hard to teU this early.” It added, “New students shouldn’t expect checks for about 60 days.”
“What about old students who didn't go to summer school?”
A brief shrug. “Shouldn't look for ’em for about 60 days.”
“What if they went to summer school but not the postsession?”
A cleared throat. “They won’t get 'em ... for a while.”
“About 60 days?”
“Maybe abc~t SO days.” Then a brave smile. “Students who went right straight through should get their checks on time.”
“Thanks.”
Willy Needs On Wampus
Help
Staff
Beyond preadventure of a doubt a good time is assured to all by that prominent young mascot and bird-about-campus Willy the Wam-pusbird when Wampus, the “humor” mag, hits the stands this fall.
Facing stem reality, Willy is spending his days interviewing talented authors and authoresses whose facile pens, jotting down a few well chosen words, will be able to turn the minds of busy Trojans toward things light and frivolous.
Willy's quest for talent goes beyond an intense search for scribes
and scriveners. This intrepid pursuer of things literary and uplifting is also desirous of contacting parties who can turn out a jpGod piece of work as artists, secretaries, advertising salesmen and layout men, poets, photographers, cof-ymen, and just plain flunkies.
-Send 'em up to the Wnmp office, room 404 Student Union, any day this week between the hours of 1 and 4 in the afternoon where they can meet and haiVg with the BMOC's of Wampus,” i he breathlessly concluded.
