A renown undergraduate, Anderson was student-body president, president of his freshman class, and held membership in Druids, junior men's honorary; Friars, senior men's honorary; and Scabbard and Blade, military honorary. The new alumni secretary saw combat with the infantry in the European theater of operations, hold- ing the rank of captain, and was awarded the bronze star and silver star for meri- torious service and the purple heart with two clusters for wounds suffered in action. Letter From Alumni Secretary IT was with great pleasure that I ac-your Alumni Secretary. Already I have met many of you on my recent tripthroughout the State this past summer, and have heard your views and commentsas to how our alumni association can build a better University of Oregon. Ithink we are all agreed that the value of a strong association is immeasurable, andit is our goal to make it so. Right now the University of Oregon in-cludes the largest student body and staff in its history. Our president, Dr. New-burn, an exceptionally fine leader, has a well-defined program which points to-ward an even greater faculty, more ade- quate facilities and buildings to accom-modate our tremendous post-war develop- ment and an institution of increased use-fulness to our community. The coming Student Union Campaignwill probably be one of the largest pro- jects this association has ever under-taken, but we feel confident that we can count on you, because you were once apart of the University, and its growth and greatness rests directly in your hands. The sole purpose of our alumni associa-tion is to stand behind its school, to serve it in any way it possible can. Thereare a hundred ways all of us can be of service. Last year's paid alumni member-ship reached upwards of 2,500 and this year your alumni officers are hopeful ofdoubling that figure. We believe that the goal can be achieved by presenting a pro-gram sufficiently inclusive and interest- ing as to appeal to all our members. Before very long I hope to meet witheach one of you, either here on the cam- pus or on one of my field trips. We wantyou to feel that you are an integral part of our University, and at any time youmight have any suggestions which would improve our standing, do not hesitate tocall on us. Sincerely, Alumni Secretary. OLD OREGON Oliver Cjreets Jvecord football (turnout JVeeo, \^YinkLeman} ^oin Kjoacklncf rp HAT the University of Oregon will?>? have its best football team this fall since the era of the quad fence and turtle-neck sweater is something that not even Head Coach Gerald A. (Tex) Oliver, oneseldom given to pre-season optimism, will deny. But in the same breath it should beadded that, like Oregon, every other school in the Pacific Coast conferencewill also have its best team in history this year. All of which makes for an interest-ing gridiron season but a rather difficult task in trying to figure which team willwin the title and its New Year's day emol- ument, a Rose Bowl invitation. At present the Webfoots can be peggedlittle better than a darkhorse, for the fol- lowing reasons: 1. USC has the unbelievable total of43 lettermen on its team, coupled with the experience and prestige of threestraight Rose Bowl appearances. 2. UCLA is strong in all departmentsand. like the Trojans, have the advan- tage of having played football during thewar. * 3. OSC, WSC and Washington, all withlarger turnouts than Oregon, will be ex- ceptionally tough nuts to crack. Oliverrates the Beavers the best in the North- west. 4. California, playing under a new coach, Frank Wickhorst, is stronger thanmost critics in the Bay area are willing to concede. 5. The Webfoots face what is probablythe toughest schedule in the conference, playing nine straight games without abreak. 6. Idaho and Montana, two teams whoin former years could have been classed as "breathers," have good material, andthe Vandals, who won the basketball championship last spring, are determinedto keep winning. 7. Another schedule woe for the Web-foots. more important than number five, is that they play their last five gamesaway from home, the last two against traditional opponents Washington andOregon State. Of the above reasons number one isprobably the most important but none of the rest can be overlooked. No prognosti-cator has failed to pick USC for the championship. OLIVER, who starts his sixth year atsent one of the best starting backfields in the conference. The line, which containsfew players of demonstrated ability, is the big problem, and if it can be devel-oped the Webfoots might well become the surprise package of the conference.The coaching staff has been augmented to take care of the largest turnout In Ore-gon history, numbering 90 players, which reported for practice September 3.Vaughn Corley, the veteran line coach, is back to resume his post. Ben Winkelman,ex-backfield coach at Stanford and head coach at San Jose State, replaced MikeMikulak as backfield coach. Mikulak re- signed during the summer to accept acommission in the regular army. Dick Reed, a former Oregon great who hashelped coach the Webfoots in the past, was signed as end coach. Heading the classy array of backfieldperformers is Jake Leicht, the speed demon who garnered Ail-American honorslast year. He is slated for the left half- back role, where he will receive stiff com-petition from Jimmy Newquist, a 1941 regular. Newquist, a triple-threat ace,may be shifted to right half, keeping him and Leicht in the same combination.Duke Iversen, one of the best blocking backs in the conference, will be at quar-terback, and another 1941 regular, Bob Koch, at fullback.Others who will see action in the back- field are Bill Abbey, quarterback; GeorgeBell, Norm Van Brocklin, Aubrey Van Loo, Benny Holcomb, Bob Reynolds, BillBehrens, Glen Wilson and Don Shaffer, halfbacks; and Bill Davis and Walt Don-ovan, fullbacks.

SEPTEMBER 1 946 Oliver Greets Record Turnout (Continued from page 4) Tony Crish, a two-year letterman, is one of the few tested linemen available. He will probably get the starting nod at left end. John Kaufman, a standout last year, is back to fill a guard slot, and Brad Ecklund, a pre-war Frosh player, heads the center candidates. The rest of the line is uncertain and competing for the starting nods are Wayne Bartholemy, Pete Torchia, George Dugan, Dick Brown and Art Milne, ends; Curt Deskin, Chuck Elliott, Don Stanton, Pete Miller, Harry Edwards, Bill Morin and Dean Sheldon, tackles; Ted Meland, Bill Murphy, Harold Lloyd, Steve Maz- zera and Tony Novacik, guards; and Don Martin. Joe Olsen and Bill Bayliss, cen- ters. Many newcomers reported in the open- ing turnout, including several freshmen who may see plenty of action before the season is over. However, Oliver has not had time to look over all his prospects and a starting lineup is the last thing he could possibly name at present. The squad includes 19 lettermen, 10 of pre- war vintage and nine from last year's team. OREGON FOOTBALL ROSTER JV Teams Planned For All Sports The University of Oregon will go ahead with a complete junior varsity program in all sports this year, starting with a football team that will play a three-game schedule. Because of a conference ruling, which expires January 1, freshmen will be per- mitted to play on varsity teams, so ath- letic officials have decided on a junior varsity program. John A. Warren, Oregon's capable and versatile coach, will direct the junior varsity football team through a three game schedule that includes a pair of games with the Oregon State junior var- sity team and one with Southern Oregon College of Education. Warren, whose phenomenal record as a high school and freshman coach is with- out an equal, guided the Oregon sport program practically single-handedly dur- ing the war. He coached the 1942 var- sity football team, which was the only conference team to defeat UCLA, the Rose Bowl representative, and tutored the 1945 basketball team to third place in the national championships. Warrens freshman football record at Oregon shows 18 wins, 10 defeats and 3 ties; his even more impressive basketball record is 108 wins against 22 defeats. The junior varisty football aspiriants will workout with the varsity team until Head Coach Tex Oliver selects the var- sity squad.

NEWBURN President PRESIDENT Truman, on July 13, ap-Higher Education to "re-examine our system of higher education in terms ofits objectives, methods and facilities; and in the light of the social role it hasto play." The President further expressed the hope that the commission would con-cern itself with the following issues among others: "Ways and means of ex-panding educational opportunities for all able young people; the adequacy of cur-ricula, particularly in the fields of inter- national affairs and social understanding;the desirability of establishing a series of intermediate technical institutes; andthe financial structure of higher educa- tion with particular reference to the re-quirements for the rapid expansion of physical facilities." THE commission chairman appointedZook, President of the American Coun- cil on Education; and the Executive Sec-retary is Dr. Francis Brown, director of the Division of Higher Education, Ameri-can Council on Education. In order that the commission might have the full co-operation of all relevant federal agen- cies, Dr. John R. Steelman, director ofwar mobilization and reconversion, was designated to serve as liaison officer be-tween the commission and the executive agencies of the government. The commission personnel includes, ac-cording to the President, "outstanding civic and educational leaders, and willbe charged with an examination of the functions of higher education in our de-mocracy and the means by which they can best be performed." The member-ship, in addition to Drs. Zook and Brown, includes the folowing persons: President Sarah G. Blanding, Vassar College. President O. C.

Our first meeting, held in WashingtonJuly 29 and 30, was given over "to a determination of the scope and nature of the activities in which the commissionshould engage, and the methods of pro- cedure which should be followed." Dr.Steelman brought the following message from President Truman: "I want to welcome the members of theNational Commission on Higher Educa- tion as you gather for your first meeting.I am sorry that I am unable to greet you personally at this time. I appreciate youracceptance of the difficult and significant task that I have asked the commissionto undertake. "We face national decisions that areas important as any that have confronted us since the federal union was formed.These decisions are made in a democ- racy by the people, and not by a gov-ernment apart from the people. Their choices are governed in large part bytheir opportunities for education aimed at producing effective citizens. "For this reason, I view the work ofthis commission as vital to our national welfare. "I wish you well, and hope to discussthe work of the commission with you at a later date." Mr. Steelman's own attitude towardthe work of the commission was evident when he stated: "I am confident that thisopportunity to chart the course of higher education for the years ahead is a pub-lic service of the greatest importance."

AVERY Registrar IN terms of enrollment, the academic-history of the University of Oregon. On September 1. approximately 5500 old andnew students had been cleared for ad- mission or for return to the campus, andpresumably could be housed in Eugene or vicinity. The largest previous registra-tion at the University was 3803. The admission of new students is al-ready 123 per cent higher than last year. In the student body of 1946-47 there willbe approximately 2200 students who have never attended the University before. Ap-proximately 3300 former students will re- turn, some of them after an absence ofthree or four years. The freshman class will be the largest, with between 1700and 1800 students. The University has also set a new rec-ord in the number of applicants who have been refused admission. Because non-residents of the state may not be admit- ted unless they have distinctly superiorhigh school or previous college records, the Registrar's office has been kept busyfor the first time in its history saying "no." As of September 1, the number ofdenials was 444. K LL estimates on the enrollment at?**-the University are subject to change, depending upon the housing siuation.The general policy since July 1 has been to let available housing be the determin-ing factor in admissions of otherwise eli- gible applicants. As of September 1, therewere approximately 900 applicants clear for admission on academic grounds butwho had not received their certificates of admission and who will not receive themuntil they indicate definitely that they have places to live. These 900 applicantswho are still "on the fence" are not in- cluded in the estimated totals givenabove. Should any considerable number of them find places to live, the enroll-ment would obviously approach 6000. At present, however, it seem unlikely thatmany of these will find housing. The situ- ation in Eugene is acute and the housingfacilities seem to be saturated. During the academic year 1946-47, themen of the student body will be in the definite majority. Roughly, there shouldbe approximately 3500 men and 2000 women. Of the men, approximately 60per cent should be veterans. THIS, then, is the situation on the evethe University done to meet the demands of what appears to be a critical situation?It is not expected that it will be drastic- ally necessary to change the time sche-dule of classes. All departments have cooperated fully in shifting their timeschedules in order that greater use will be made of the Tuesday, Thursday andSaturday sequence, and earlier morning hours and later afternoon hours. At pre-sent it does not seem likely that it will be necessary to schedule Saturday afternoonclasses or classes in the evening hours. The erection of new quonsct buildingshas provided additional office and class- room space Some classes will he larger 8 Death came last May to Percy Paget Adams, assistant dean of the school of architecture and allied arts. Adams taught at Oregon for 47 years. Curtis Avery Appointed New University Registrar ANNOUNCEMENT was made in June,an experienced administrator of veteran affairs, to the position of Registrar of theUniversity, succeeding Earl M. Pallett, who was elevated to be Assistant to thePresident. Avery came to Oregon from the Uni-versity of Minnesota, where he had been on the staff since 1932 as assistant pro-fessor of English and editor of various University publications. During his lastyear at Minnesota Avery was Director of the Bureau of Veterans Affairs, adminis-tering to the personnel needs of more than 9,000 veteran students.The new Registrar is a graduate of Pomona College and did graduate work inthe school of journalism, Columbia Uni- versity, as well as Yale and Stanford.Avery served in the war for three years and tea months with the army air forcesin Texas, India and Burma., He arrived in Eugene to assume this new position onJuly 15th. than they have been in the past butprobably not enough larger to impair educational efficiency. If the students co-operate fully in spreading their schedules into the days and hours not formerly con-sidered most "pleasant," class crowding will be avoided and there will probablybe no necessity for the drastic step of scheduling evening or Saturday after-noon classes. The President's office has announcedthe appointment of more than 50 new members of the instructional staff to helpin meeting the demands occasioned by Death Takes Percy Adams After 47 Years at Oregon CONCLUDING almost 47 years of ac-Paget Adams, '01, assistant dean of the school of architecture and allied arts,died Sunday, May 19, at Heceta Head on the Oregon coast. Dean Adams first entered the Univer-sity as a preparatory student 15 years after the school opened its doors and in1899 he became a student instructor. He received his bachelor of arts degree in1901, his bachelor of science in 1902. He became a full professor in 1914 when theart school was formed under the late Dean Ellis Fuller Lawrence and in 1922was appointed assistant dean of the school of fine arts, (later changed to theschool of architecture and allied arts). He was to have retired from the Uni-versity June 30, 1946, having served on the faculty longer than any other staffmember. the increased registration. Increases inthe administrative and the clerical staff have also been made for the same reason. THE Registrar's office has streamlined the long lines and the milling crowdswhich would otherwise have made regis- tration day strenuous. All students havebeen given individual appointments for registration and the period has been ex-tended from September 18 through Sep- tember 21. It may be said that the University has the situation well in hand and is wellprepared to meet the challenge of the in- creases in the student body. OXYGEN TO BREATHE is the most important thing in the w orld to one who is ill and unable to get enough for life from the air alone. The use of oxygen in medical practice has grown rapidly in recent years. Physicians have found it effective in the treatment of certain types of heart disease, shock due to wounds or injuries, following major opera- tions, and for numerous other illnesses. The need for extra oxygen is so frequent in hospitals that many of them, instead of depending on cylinders of oxygen brought to the bedside, now have convenient oxygen outlets in many rooms and wards. Oxygen is brought directly to the bedside through an unseen "pipe- line" from a centrally located "bank"of oxygen cylinders. Oxygen is a principal product of Units of UNION CARBIDE. It is supplied to hospitals?and in much greater amounts to industry for numerous mass- production operations?largely through The Linde Air Products Company. Linde Oxygen is now so readily available that no one need ever be ivithout oxygen for any purpose. Oxygen is but one of the many basic and essential products from UCC?materials which, all together, require continu- ing research and engineering work w ith over a third of the earth's known elements.

For that reason, and because of hisoutstanding activity and scholastic rec- ord, By Mayo has been chosen Old Ore-gon's first "Student of the Month." When the war ended last fall and menbegan returning to the University, not a single fraternity was in operation. By lastspring term all but a few were function- ing actively, and this fall term each onewill be back in operation. FACED with the problems of postwarreadjustment, Oregon Greek letter or-ganizations will not return to the nor- malcy of the pre-war period. By unani- mouB vote of all its members the Inter-fraternity council decided to ban all forms of "hell week." This and other steps havehelped ease fraternities into the pat- tern of a postwar campus. In By Mayo the IFC (hose an outstand-ing campus leader. Hailing from Wash- ington high school in Portland, Mayo en-tered Oregon in the fall of l!?40. He com- pleted his freshman year and then spent the next four as a pilot in the marine aircorps. Last winter term Mayo returned to theUniversity, and resumed hiB activities as 16 assistant managing-editor of the Emer-ald. He was also named a member of Druids, junior men's honorary society,when the organization was re-activated last spring, acting as vice president. Other activities included member-ship on the Junior Weekend and Food Conservation committees. He was alsoinitiated to Sigma Delta Chi, men's pro- fessional journalism fraternity. After being elected president of hisfraterniy, Alpha Tau Omega, the Inter- fraternity council chose him as its leader,and he capped his achievements by being selected for Friars, senior men's hon-orary. This fall he is slated to work on the Homecoming committee. Mayo, who now calls Seattle home, is ajournalism major, and is interested in ad- vertising. He has a 2.81 cumulative GPA. In his spare time activity Mayo likesskiing, flying and writing. During the past summer he did test flying at the SandPoint naval air station. Looking ahead with confidence to theensuing year, Mayo expects more men to be pledged to fraternities during theyear as war veterans complete their courses and leave school. Fraternitieswill be larger than ever before in their history, and have cooperated with Uni-versity authorities in pledging to their fullest capacity to help alleviate thk-housing shortage. Rushing Pamphlets Published Pamphlets concerning fall rushing werepublished by the Panhellenic association and the Interfraternity council. The pur-pose of the pamphlets was to acquaint rushees with the different aspects ofrushing. According to Golda Wickham, dean ofwomen, 299 women were cleared for rush- ing by the August 24 deadline. Through-out rush week the girls will be housed at Susan Campbell and Hendricks hall. Menwho rush will stay at John Straub hall.
