ALUMNI NOTE S By LES ANDERSON, '43 Alumni Director I suppose it's customary for most every-one to pause at the end of each year and glance back over the success and defeatsencountered with the hope of building an oven blighter future. The Oregon Alumniassociation of no exception, but because we want to keep an eye to the future rath-er than the past, our glance will be a hasty one. As far as active membership is con-cerned, the picture is brighter than it has been in many a year. With the help ofloDtbcll ticket applications this fall, we managed to increase our paid member-ship by some 20 per cent and an all-time high. But in comparison with other insti-tutions we are still far below average. Making the alumni association appealto all graduates and former students has been one of our main efforts. By increas-ing the features of OLD OREGON, and making it truly an alumni magazine, wehave gained an ever greater readership. The results this year have indeed beenheartening and much thanks can go to a capable editor and an active editorialboard to assist him. By traveling up and down the coastwith the football team, we were able to stage alumni reunions in San Francisco.Los Angeles and Seattle, and plans were made for permanent alumni organiza-tions in each of these cities. New York and Washington. D. C. also have datesscheduled on the calendar. Homecoming was the usual success,the class reunions were well attended, and our summer student contact resultedin the largest student body ever seen on the University campus. Yes, it was agood year . but much still remains to be accomplished I think we're all pretty well agreedthat the strength of any alumni associa- tion rests largely in terms of the numberof active members it carries. Thus our efforts to make membership more attrac-tive will continue stronger than ever by providing the best alumni magazinethat can be printed, by correcting the present preference seating arrangementat our football contests, by bringing each alumnus in closer contact with the Uni-versity. One example of the latter is the new "Coach's letter" we are starting withbasketball season. This will be printed at frequent intervals during the season togive you a first hand glimpse of the ath- letic picture at Oregon. Yes. you'll be get-ting a lot more correspondence from us from now on, and it won't be the usualappeal to become a paid member. It is our hope that many more out-of-state groups can be formed in order to better promote the university in each lo-cality. Not only can they provide a so- cial program for the resident alumni, butcan be of valuable aid to the University In backing its building program, raisingscholarships for students, from their com- munities and initiating many other ideasthat are limited only by the effort of each group concerned.

PACKER IS NO ARM CHAIR STRATEGIST By PAT KING, '48 BEHIND the door marked "Mr. Packer"green rug and heavy velvet drapes at the large windows, which overlook the stu-dents scurrying to and fro over the cam- pus. Opposite a small fireplace at one endof the room is a large, glass-topped desk dominated by a no less imposing manwith graying hair and gray-blue eyes that join in a friendly smile. Speaking in a deep, rolling bass that istinged with a slight southern accent, the new chancellor of Oregon's board of high-er education affirmed his belief that to be successful in college and life a stu-dent must "work hard, play hard, and bxve a strong sense of humor." "The Paris peace conference wouldprobably be much better off if those fel- lows would lean back and exercise theirsense of humor more," he declared with a broad smile over his red bow tie.Xo armchair strategist. Dr. Paul C. Packer comes to Oregon after 20 years ofhopping all over the globe in the field of education. In 1936 he visited Germanywith a group of educators under the di- rection of Aberlaender Trust of the KarlShurz memorial foundation. At the request of the board of regentsof the University of the Philippines, Packer accepted with Mr. E. C. Elliott,formerly president of Purdue university, the assignment of educational advisor tothe University for four months in 1938. At that time the University had an en-rollment of approximately S.OOO. Back in the states, he was asked to ad-vise in the reorganization of the Univer- sity of Vermont and served as a tempor-ary president to handle the recommended legislative program.Packer enlisted in the army in Janu- ary, 1943, and spent three years in theeducation branch of the information and education division. He establishedbranches of the Armed Forces Institute in Alaska. England, India and China, andorganized an educational program for men in the armed forces. These programsincluded command schools with special training for officers who were in chargeof schools; technical school for journey- men and tradesmen at Warton. England;army university study centers at Shriv- enham, England, and Biarritz. France;and organization of training within civil- ian agencies by utilizing colleges, univer-sities and the various trades, industries and professions in different foreign coun-tries. REFERRING to the schooling and hous-three people living in a room which for- merly accommodated one is uncomfort-able and irritating but it doesn't mean a thing compared to the buckets of mireand mud I have seen the doughboys go through. No one is a stronger advocateof comfortable living for students than myself, but it is a mistake to waste en-ergy fretting over things that can't be helped. "The University has handled the situ-ation very well. New temporary buildings have been well placed and are not glar- ing, aore spots on the campus as on some Dr. Paul Packer, who came to the Oregon campus this fall as chancellor of the Oregon state system of higher education, has had a broad background of educational experience, both in civilian and military life. In the accompanying article some of his ideas concerning education are expressed. (Photo by Don Jones). where the increase of students has flood-ed the schools. In Oregon there have been easily accessible materials with which toalleviate the problems created by the swollen enrollment." Primary, maintained Packer, we should-n't feel sorry for ourselves, but determine that we're going to lick this thing. Hepointed out that there would continue to be new veterans coming to the campusas they continued to be inducted into the services. Therefore, he thinks that thestudent body of the University probably won't go below 5,000 for seven or eightyears. "The veterans have thrown away theirtoys and are very much in earnest about getting an education. They will probablylead the campus scholastically and raise the grade standards." he forecast. To the young people of today whowould like to see the world run different- ly he advised to "hold their punches"until they have prepared themselves to assume positions in the world where theycan put their ideas into effect. A college degree stands for more than so manyhours spent in this and that classroom. It means that those people are of a littletougher fiber which makes them more qualified to assume positions of impor-tance and responsibility. They have had the determination and will to stick it outwhile others dropped out from grammar school, high school and college. Dr. Packer, who received his B.A. in1918 from the University of Iowa, his MA. in 1921 from the University of Mich-igan and his Ph.D. in 1923 from Columbia university, proves hiB own point. "Colleges and universities are. in real-ity, short cuts to your goals and achieve- ments. Men who have devoted their livesto one particular field are brought togeth- er to teach you about that subject in halfthe time or less than it would take to find out about it yourself. Educators helpto direct you and pass on a few words of wisdom?not that we're trying to tell youwhat to do. but rather to aid you on your journey," he said. An hour and a half had passed by un-noticed while Dr. Packer wended his way through communism, social security (hehas a frightful aversion to having a social security number), social workers and cap-italism. As I said good-bye and turned to leave the room I could hear him mumb-ling apologetically, "I just don't make good copy for writers." Lip Reading A lip-reading class for the deaf andhard of hearing is the latest addition to the curriculum advanced by the generalextension division of the state system of higher education. The 12-week course, under the instruc-tion of Dr. Kenneth Scott Wood, is open to all interested persons who desire moreskill in speech reading because of re- duced hearing ability. Any district alumni club that wishes to obtain movies of any football games of the past season may do so by writ- ing Les Anderson at the alumni office. TONY CRISH DON SHAFFER OREGON SIXTH IN FINAL STANDINGS; JAKE LEICHT, DUKE IVERSEN SHINE THINGS were going along fine for the.The Webfoots were in second place in the conference standings, boasting victoriesover College of Pacific, California, Mon- tana and Idaho and a tie with Washing-ton State. Then they headed for Los An- geles and a date with Southern Califor-nia, and that's when the avalanche struck. The we?ther was perfect?so were thsTrojans. Oregon's biggest jinx in the conference won by a score of 43 to 0.Folowing the defeat to USC the Ducks were strictly a first-half team, and theiroffensive efforts for the rest of the season consisted of a goose egg.The Oregon gridders journeyed to Port- land the following week and played aclassic first-half against UCLA. The Web- foots reached the Bruin five-yard line inthe dying seconds of the second quar ter where a field goal try by Jimmy New-quist missed its mark. The Bruins, who went on to an undefeated and untiedseason?winning the championship and Rose Bowl invitation, came back in thesecond half to win 14 to 0. It was, how- ever, the hardest victory they earned allyear. Next on the schedule came Oregon's in-ter-state rival, the Washington Huskies. Washington scored on its first offensiveplay but spent most of the rest of the first half stopping Oregon scoring drives whichnever materialized. The Huskies won 16 to O, at Seattle.The Ducks closed the season against bitter and traditional rival Oregon State.On the sloppiest field in the history of their ancient feud the Beavers won the50th meeting between the two schools by a score of 13 to 0 at Corvallis. For theWebfoots it was a repeat story. They threatened several times in the first halfbut couldn't score. At the start of the second quarter Oregon reached theBeaver five-yard stripe after a beautiful 29-yard run by Jake Leicht. A third-downpass fell incomplete and Leicht missed pay dirt by two feet on the next try.Oregon State's powerful line bounded back in the second half and the resultwas its fifth straight victory over Oregon. And so the Webfoots finished the sea-son right where everyone predicted they would before it started?at the top ofthe second division. Oregon followers could now turn their attention to othersports and wait for next year. BOBBY REYNOLDS Oregon will be playing under an asyet unannounced new coach. Tex Oliver, headman of Oregon's gridiron destiniessince 1938. resigned in mid-season and thf resignation became effective after thethe OSC fray. Despite its dismal finish there wereseveral standout performers on the Ore- gon team. Heading this list was Quar-torback Duke Iversen, whose blocking and line-backing ability were second tonone in the conference. He is a top can- didate for all-coast honors. Leicht, the diminutive halfback who gar-nered All American honors last year, was plagued by injuries most of the season.However, he was a threat each time he carried the ball. Twice against USC hebroke loose on kickoff returns for long gains only to be nailed by the Trojansafety. He also performed sensationally against UCLA and OSC. One of the best defensive ends in theconference was Hymie Harris, a veteran who reported late but was a big asset. Heturned in consistent performances in ev- ery game, and was the outstanding play-er on the field against Washington. Bob Koch, fullback, was on of the lead-ing punters in the nation, as well as a good line plunger, blocker and line back-er. Center Brad Ecklund and Tackle Don Stanton were bulwarks in the line. New-quist and Bobby Reynolds, halfbacks, aided the Duck offense notably. Missing from next year's team afterfiinishing three years of eligibility will be Reynolds, Iversen, Chuck Elliott, DonShaffer and Tony Crish. Elliott was a regular at left tackle and Crish. poteniallyone of the best ends in the conference, saw but a few minutes of action becauseof an ankle injury. Shaffer spelled Iver- sen at quarterback. Expected to graduate before next yearare Harris, Newquist, Koch, Leicht and Cliff Giffin, a reserve tackle who playedparticularly well against Washington and UCLA. The following letter winners are ex-pected back next year: Dick Brown, Dan Garza, Wayne Bartholemy, George Duganand Pete Torchia, ends; Stanton, Pete Miller and Howard Frary. tackles; TedMeland. Bill Murphy, Jim Berwick, John Kauffman and Tony Xovacik, guards;Ecklund and Lou Busch, centers; and Bill Abbey, George Bell, Sam Ramey, WaltDonavan and Bob Oas, backs. CLIFF GIFFIN HYMIE HARRIS Hoop Chances Bright- New York Trip Slated Howard Hobson, starting his tenth yearas head basketball coach, will present a top contender for the northern divisionchampionship in the race which gets un- derway in January.Eleven lettermen plus some of the best freshmen prospects in history make hoopprospects bright, but the Webfoots are ex- pected to have fierce competition fromWashington, Oregon State and Idaho, all of whom will present their best teams inyears. The Oregon team is currently playing apre-season schedule against strong inde- pendent teams in preparation for its sixthtranscontinental trip late in December. The Webfoots will meet Niagra univer-sity at Buffalo December 21 and Xew York university at Madison Square Gar-den December 23.

The guards are pacedby hard-driving Stan Williamson, backed by Al Popick, Sam Crowell, Roy Seeborgand Reedy Berg. Coach Ted Schopf's junior varsity teamis currently leading the Eugene city league. Several of the players are alsocarried on the varsity squad, and will give the lettermen strong competition. Schopf is also coaching the freshmenteam, which will play a schedule against independent and high school teams. Almni director Les Anderson has an- nounced that there will be a special section for University of Oregon alum- ni at the basketball game in Madison Square Garden between the Webfoots and New York university. The game is scheduled for 8 p. m. December 23. All Oregon alumni who desire tickets for this section can get them at Window 16 in Madison Square Garden by telling the cashier they are Oregon alums. There is a limit of two tickets per person, and they must be purchased by December 21.

By WINIFRED ROMTVEDT, '47 Managing Editor SINCE its beginning in 1916 the Uni-dout "into the world" scores of men and women, young people with dreams of be-ing authors, editors and publishers, or of finding their places in advertising or pub-lic relations work. Today their collective achievementswould fill a book. To find out about a few of these prominent journalists, Old Ore-gon went to a man who has personally known practically every journalism stu-dent at Oregon since 1917. That man is Dean George Turnbull. The Portland Oregonian, on which DeanTurnbull has worked during several sum- mers, has a good representation of Ore-gon journalism students. On its staff are: Edward Miller '26, assistant manag-ing editor; Malcolm Bauer '35, city edi- tor; Jalmer E. Johnson '26, Sunday edi-tor; Bruce Hamby '33, sports writer; Herbert Larson '23, drama editor; JohnPiper '42, assistant news editor; Gwladys Bowen '23, society editor; Freda Good-rich '24, club editor and Paul F. Ewing '34, special writer. Palmer Hoyt '23, former publisher ofthe Oregonian, and head of the domestic branch of OWI for a year and a halfduring the war, went to Colorado last February as editor and publisher of theDenver Post. He was accompanied by Fred Colvig '37, a former Emerald editor,who is a special writer.

OLD OREGON Water in Millrace Is Assured As City Authorizes Purchase By GLORIA SMITH, '49A shady place, by the old millrace . . ." will once more come into actuality for Webfoots and alumni of Oregon. Al- though millrace restoration cannot be started until October or November of 1947, the assurance that the stream will again find reality among Oregon tradi- tions and sentimentalities is gratifying. Authorization of the city's purchasewas made October 30 at a meeting of the Eugene city council. "Proper authorities"were authorized to take $1000 from the local improvement fund as a down pay-ment for the race and to sell sufficient bonds, amounting to $50,000 to cover thetransaction. After these bonds are sold, the $1000 will be returned to the revolv-ing fund. The city had previously taken an op-tion on the property. This option was to have expired on November 1, when eitherthe option might possibly have been re- newed by the city or turned over toeither of the possible purchasers. City Manager Deane Seeger said dur-ing the meeting that repairs on the mill- race would begin as soon as funds wereappropriated by the council for this pur- pose, but until that time no repairs couldbe made. One property owner on the millraceinquired as to the possibility of immediate refilling of the race if a public subscrip-tion were taken for the purpose. Seeger said the plan would be impractical sincethe millrace would have to be drained as soon as highway construction began. Ifconstruction goes according to schedule, work will begin next spring. IF muinicipal authorities had decidedchances of canoeing on the millrace prop- erty which runs through the campus wasincluded in the property which the city had to purchase for the new Highway 99construction. Before the option was taken by thecity. University authorities, with the thought of a possible restoration in mind,employed George Jette. instructor in land architecture at the University, toconduct a topographical survey of the millrac-e property and to compile data onbridges, grandstand, stage and necessary fills. After the repair of the race, it will benecessary for the University, property owners along the race and the city toreach an agreement for defraying ex- penses of repair and upkeep. The Uni-versity, in such an agreement, would p obably use, at cost, water from themillrace for irrigation purposes. Before purchu.si; by the city, the mill-iace belonged to the Eugene Power Co. If it had remained in its possession itwould, in all probability, have remained in its present condition, since the racewas of no commercial value to the com- pany. City purchase of the millrace hasassured future Ducks, at least, the pleas- ure of the millrace tradition, and onceagain alums may return to see the canoe fet< of yester-year on a canoeable mill-race. 8 TIME MARCHES ON Evidence for the feeling for the millrace which remains with alumni long after they leave the University is this sonnet written by Arthur Patch McKinlay, '93, professor emeritus of Latin and Greek at UCLA. A book of nature sonnets by Professor McKinlay was published in 1943 under the title, "The Passing Show." Margie, go back with me these fifty years And haunt the shallows of the mill race where The willows wept in envy of your hair And made of you a theme for sonneteers. The trout were flashing in and out their weirs And campus lads would counter with a flare Of lanterns and all the lassies long to share The worship of your paddling gondoliers. Time will encroach on memory's preserves And progress will be bound to get ahead Where it can throw a switch and run its mills. The grouse are dusting in a dried up bed And highway, cutting out all needless curves, Make willows weep at seeing naught of Jills. ?Arthur Patch McKinlay. One of Oregon's best loved beauty spots, the millrace, has been saved from its doom by the City of Eugene, which decided to purchase the property along the race. Restoration of the stream will be made in connection with the new Highway 99 con- struction. It is anticipated that repairs cannot be started until the fall of 1947, and after the initial repair, some agreement among property owners along the race, the city and the University will be necessary in order to keep it in repair. DECE MBER 1946 Former Oregon Coed Describes Recent Trip To New York and United Nations Assembly Representing the Pacific Northwest College conference, Lois McConkey Putnam, '46, and Troy Strong of the College of Puget Sound, had the thrill of appearing before the American delegation to the U. N. They are pictured looking over a report of the security council with Olav Paus-Grunt, chief of the educational services section of the U. N. public information department. (Courtesy Radio Station KGW). Mrs. Charles Putnam (Lois McCon- key, '46) has returned to her home in San Francisco after a trip to New York to deliver the resolutions drawn up by the Pacific Northwest College Conference to the American delega- tion to the United Nations assembly. Enroute home, she and Troy M. Strong, from the College of Puget Sound, the other representative, made two appear- ances in Portland. Following is a con- densation of the report given by Mrs. Putnam on their activities in New York. By LOIS PUTNAM, '46 OUR introduction to Xew York startedwe were met by the staff members of the Xew York League of Women Voters,who took us to the XBC studios. There we met Steve de Baun, who was to ac-company us to all of our meetings for the remainder of the week. We foundthat we had an appointment with Mr. Olaf Paus-Grunt, head of the educationalservices section of the department of public information of the United Nations, who. it turned out, became our key toopen the lock of the United Xations assembly and all of the organizationswhich surrounded it. He told us that we were the first students to approach theUnited Nations with a proposal for college congresses on an international and na-tional basis. He said tha/t as soon as the UNESCO becomes something more than just writing on paper, we would undoubt-edly fall under its jurisdiction. We were very much encouraged bythis and also by his attitude of help- fulness. He showed us around the mid-town offices of the secretary-general and told us something of the workings of thevarious sections of the U.X. He also arranged for our passes to the Wednes-day session of the opening of the general assembly. Tuesday noon we hurried to the HotelTaft where the American delegation was holding its last meeting before the U.X.assembly opened. Mr. Chester Williams met us there and introduced us to theAmerican delegation. Each of us in turn told them something of what the resolu-tions were and the fact that they were actually drawn up by students in an im-partial manner. Senator Warren Austin, head of the delegation, reminded us thatwe were the generation which would be carrying out the things which his genera-tion had laid down in the charter of the United Nations. He said that the Ameri-can delegation would always be glad to receive suggestions from students ofAmerica and the door would always be open to us. The delegation received us warmly andafter repeating our presentation of the portfolios containing the resolutions toSenator Austin several times for the bene- fit of the Times and NBC photographers,we were approached by Mrs. Roosevelt and Helen Gahagan Douglas, who bothwanted to hear more about the congress and deliver their congratulations. Senators Tom Connally and Arthur Vanden- burg were also present. We heard laterthat our delegation and those of three international labor organizations were the only ones received by the Americandelegation. Tuesday evening we appeared on theNBC program "Your United Nations," which went out over the NBC networkas far as Denver. Wednesday we went to Lake Success,where Mr. Paus-Grunt showed us the entire working organization of the secre-tariat. This is the old Sperry Co. plant where lenses were manufactured duringthe war and which since has been re- modled into a very attractive and modernoffice building. The grounds are huge and contain all of the offices of the variousdivisions of the United Xations. We then went to Flushing Meadows, where thegeneral assembly sessions were held. There we met Trygve Lie before theassembly opened and looked behind the scenes of the assembly. The openingsession was very well guarded and all of the delegations arrived 'mid the clickof cameras and television sets. The speakers were the president of the assem-bly, Paul Henri Spaak. President Truman and Mayor O'Dwyer's spokesman. After the opening Mr. Paus-Grunt in-troduced us to Benjamin Cohen, assistant secretary general in charge of public in-formation, and former Chilean ambassa- dor to Bolivia. Mr. Cohen was also verymuch interested in what we laid before him. Mr. Lie's reaction was very cordialalso, and he asked Mr. Paus-Grunt to take charge for him. OX Friday evening we were invitedthe Waldorf-Astoria which was given by the AAUX for all of the U. X. delegatesand invited guests. Speakers were Presi- dentSpaak, Senator Austin. Dr. Angel,head of XBC. Trygve Lie, Clark Eikelber- ger and the toastmaster. Nelson Rocke-feller. On Saturday we attended another ses-sion of the general assembly, this time hearing the delegates from Norway andLiberia speak. The entire trip was marked by manycongratulations on the success and ac- complishments of the college congressand compliments to the Portland League of Women Voters and Reed college fororiginating and carrying out the idea, and to KGW for their generosity in pro-viding funds for our trip. Everyone we talked with was very enthusiastic overthe plan to extend it to a nation-wide basis and XBC said that if we succeededwe would always be supplied with their facilities for broadcasting the results.Every important person we met urged us to continue with the congress ideaand recognize the importance of giving the adult student a voice in world affairs.The general opinion was that it was the youth of America and the othernations who fought the war, and they should be able to help in keeping thepeace. Another college congress, taking in alarger area, is planned for next spring. ?While doing graduate work at the Uni- versity of Southern California, Lois R.Teesdale, '46, has been awarded a schol- arship in physical therapy. She was oneof eight Oregon residents to benefit from the $l,267.(ioo training program of theNational Foundation for Infantile Paraly- sis. OLD OREGON From North, South, East, West Students Travel to Attend UO By TRUDI CHERNIS, '49 PRESENTING a forecast of things tothe students on the campus from foreign countries. Both oceans and northern andsouthern borders have been crossed by members of the group in order to obtaineducation at Oregon. Only two studying here are underscholarships, Rosa Marie Colom, from San Jose, Costa Rica, and Silvia Miller,from Edinburgh, Scotland. Miss Colom, winner of a $1000 scholarship by theOregon Federation of Women's clubs, is studying for her master's degree in Ro-mance languages and plans to teach in Costa Rica. Although she admits missingher home and family, Miss Colom wants to spend at least one more year after thisin the United States studying methods of teaching. Miss Miller's presence at Oregon wasbrought about by the Soroptimist club of Coos Bay. which awarded her a year'sscholarship as the daughter of a British Soroptimist whose studies had been in-terrupted by the war. Miss Miller is a fifth year student in architecture, andafter receiving her degree here she plans to work for a degree in Scotland, whereone more term will be required. She ten- tatively intends to work her way back toEdinburgh, seeing as much of the world as she can on the way. CANADA'S export of students to the -couver, B. C, except for Gloria O'Dell Cooper, business administration majormajor from Edmonton, Alberta. Choice of major and the matter of housing helpedMiss Cooper to decide on Oregon, but new friends, the climate, and the schoolmake her insist her choice was wise. She plans to do department store buying,probably in the states, after leaving college. Vancouver, B. C, is claimed as home byJimmy Chan, special student; Russell Bagan, senior; and John Olliver, sopho-more, all physical education majors. Maury Van Vleit, '36, who is teachingphysical education at the University of British Columbia, recommended Oregonto Bagan and Oliver, while Chan wanted to attend school in a small town andliked the state of Oregon. The trio plans to teach physical education, Chan pos-sibly at the University of Peping, in Chi- na, after gaining experience here. Helived in that country in the years be- tween 1929 and 1936. Baseball managerlast year and basketball manager this >ear, Bagan may work for his master'sdegree at Michigan or Columbia. To study for pleasure brought Char-lotte Kinarsson to the University. Reyk- javik, Iceland, is her home, but she hastraveled most of her life. Mrs. Einarsson was born in Potsdam, Germany, and theremet her husband, who owned a depart- ment store in Iceland. She lived in Ice-land more than 20 years, taking biannual buying trips around the world. A liberalarts special student, she declares she likes Oregon because the climate is sim-ilar to Iceland, except for the long win- ters there. Her enthusiasm for the pro-fessors here is also great. 10 Four countries are represented in the group of students pictured here. From left to right are Gloria Cooper, from Canada, Rosa Colom, from Costa Rica, Silvia Miller from Scotland, and Charlotte Einarsson from Iceland. (Photo by Don Jones.) Abdul Kader Mohsin is studying inthe United States this year as one of 200 outstanding students from Cairo sent bythe Egyptian government for that pur- pose. He is the only one of a group at theUniversity and is a fifth year student in architecture. Upon completion of thisyear's work, he will return with his wife to Egypt to aid his government in itscultural plans for the country. The Tan sisters, Alice and Agnes, arecontributions to Oregon from Malaya, where their father owns rubber planta-tions. Members of their family have lived in Malaya for the past 200 years. Thegirls came here upon the recommenda- tion of Oregon by a bishop who knows Dr.and Mrs. P. B. Means. They attended schools in Singapore and England pre-viously, and future plans include doing social work in their country. They agreewith the others in voicing approval of the University. +Five Pass First Hurdle To Rhodes Scholarships Successful candidates at Oregon forthe first hurdle to potential Rhodes scholarships are Richard F. Igl, Hugh R.King, Frank W. Tate, Donald W. Tread- gold, '43 and Nicholas V. Riasanovsky.'42. There are two more hurdles to be passed; they are an oral committee ex-amination to be held in Portland and a finalists test to be held in either Spokaneor Seattle. Treagold is now a history major at Har-vard. He made Who's Who in 1941-'42, and was a member of the Senior Six. Riasanovsky, also a history major atHarvard, received his BA with honors and was a member of Senior Six. Tate, an instructor in English, haswithdrawn from the contest. Igl is a graduate student in political science andKing is a research assistant in classics.

"The establishment of the new gradu-ate school marks the coming of age of our University." remarked PresidentHarry K. Xewlmrn. "The strength of an institution is. in a large measure, judgedby its graduate schools, dedicated to the promotion of research and graduatestudy, and this is Oregon's opportunity to become a great University." Dr. Howard Taylor, head of the de-partment of psychology at the University, is serving as acting dean of the newschool until the position can be filled per- manently. The establishment of the individualschools at both institutions was made possible when the state board, upon theproposal of Chancellor Paul C. Packer, accepted the resignation of Dr. Olaf Lar-sell, former head of the graduate division for the state system.Under the new plan, the general re- search council of the system is abolishedand the activities and budget of this body have been transferred to the gradu-ate units of each college. Dr. Larsell will remain as chairman ofthe graduate council at the University of Oregon medical school, where he is aprofessor of anatomy. The new plan will relieve many of thedirectors of various fields in graduate work of their inter-institutional respon-sibilities. Under the original plan, before the major campuses had presidents, thecross-campus dean of each field of gradu- ate work performed useful purposes inreporting directly to the chancellor. Dr. Packer pointed out that in his opinionand in that of the institutional executives the promotion of graduate work and re-search can now be best developed when full responsibility is lodged in the re-spective presidents. Of the 26 inter-institutional directors,eight will be retained, some permanently and some until further study of the sit-uation is completed. The eight remaining directors are Dr.James R. Jewell, dean of education and director of high school teacher training,and Dean Sidney Wahl Little, dean and director of architecture and allied arts,from the University; and a comptroller, a director of information, a director oflibraries, a dean and director of elemen- tary teacher training, and a dean and di-rector of creative writing and publishing, all from Oregon State college.
