Its personnel is diversified and its functions are new and justifiable. The board, chosen by President C. V. Boyer, is composed of 27 pro fessors or instructors on the rolls of the University faculty. Begin ning Wednesday of Freshman week, freshman will be given personal in terviews lasting 20 minutes. All freshmen who have mailed in their credentials at least one week before registration will have been assigned personal interviews prior to their arrival on the campus. The board is represented by all divisions of instruction in the University. Valuable Advice Offered The purpose of this group is to advise students fairly and impar tially as to courses of study. An effort will be made to place fresh men in contact with men acting as representatives of the entire Uni versity while at the same time uti lizing men specially equipped as ex pert advisers. This way it is as sumed that the freshman will be advised entirely from his own in terests and aptitudes—as a possible student in any of the many schools. Such procedure should be invalu able to those who are not definitely decided on any special course and to those who have immature and incomplete viewpoints as to the value and requirements of different fields of endeavor. Confusion Frequent Many new students are not “clear" on subjects offered at the University. Because of limited con tacts with chosen fields, and ro mantic illusions as to the require ments, both inherent and academic, for these fields, many students are shunted into studies for which they are not prepared nor adapted. For example, previously those students who have expressed an interest in a particular major school have been directed to the head of that school. This student was then advised on the assumption that he had chosen his life vocation whether or not this choice be based on actual and complete knowledge of the situa tion. This year each freshman will be given the opportunity to become acquainted with all branches of the University. And although no at tempt will be made to dissuade him from following his education on his own interests careful analysis and impartial advice will be offered him.

New Portland School Attracts Special Science Group Begins Classes Soon The new division of social work training of the University of Ore gon, which will begin classes in Portland September 30, will start with a substantial enrollment of highly qualified graduate students, it was declared here today by Dr. James H. Gilbert, dean of the col lege of social science, under whose direction the new project has been formed. Reports from Dr. E. H. Moore, director of the division who has opened offices in the Oregon build ing, a large number of applicants have been interviewed every day and many have already indicated their intention of enrolling. The division will offer a one-year course of intensive training designed to fit young men and women for respon sible positions in social welfare agencies. The demand for such qualified workers in this field is far greater than the supply, and the field is expected to become more and more important, it is pointed out. The new division has received the enthusiastic approval and endorse ment of Dr. F. M. Hunter, chancel lor of higher education for the state system. “The next great develop ment in civilization must take place in the field of human relations,” Dr. Hunter points out. “Great ad vances have been made in pure and HANDY ANDY Andy Hurney, husky University of Oregon lineman, is the Web foot’s general utility man.

I regard the estab lishment of the division of social work training in the metropolis of Oregon as one of the greatest for ward steps ever taken in Oregon higher education. Starting as it has with high standards and highly qualified teaching staff, I feel sure it will meet with every success.” Chancellor Hunter also paid a warm tribute to Dean Gilbert, the state board of higher education, and University officials who have planned out the details of the new division. "These men have vision and foresight, and are keenly aware of the needs of the present day,” Dr. Hunter declared. Information on the new division may be obtained at Dr. Moore's of fice in the Oregon building in Port land, or from the University at Eu gene. New Library Story (Continued from Page One) choice books of art. On the shelves will be current literature, maga zines, and other volumes for recre ational reading. Near the recreational room will be the book delivery room, within easy access of the well-arranged stacks of volumes in the rear. One portion will be devoted entirely to lower division students with two large study rooms available. Also on the first floor will bo situated the periodical reference reading room with its stackroom directly behind it and the offices of the li brarian and his assistants. Three small mezzanine floors will give additional space. Heading Room Provided On the second floor the upper division students will be provided the same general features as arc the lower division students. A reading room, 00 by 30 feet, will extend across the front, lighted by huge windows. Nearby will he a room for special collections while another space will be filled with maps and globes. The upper di vision reserve and stack room will be directly in the rear and on each side v/ill be spaces for collections of rare books dealing with Oregon. A seminar room v/ill also be locat ed on the second floor. On t.he third floor, faculty mem bers. grdauate and more advanced students, will be provided with the individual study rooms. There will be 16 of these as well as a grad uate reading room 23 by 42 feet and a library class room and sem inar room on this floor. Absolute quiet will prevail on this upper floor. Well-stocked newspaper rooms will fill the basement for students who wish to keep well-read on cur rent events. Also in the basement will be the periodical stacks and a staff room, as well as work rooms and rest rooms. Seating space for more than 1,000 students will be provided In the complete structure, and since it is estimated that not more than Hunter Statement Story —■— i (Continued from Page Our) Group IV— People who went to col lege but did not graduate.. 77.6 j Group V -College graduates 84.4 College Graduates Favored The percentage employed in each of these groups is that indicated above. You will note that all but 16 per cent of the college group in the city were employed, while more than 53 per cent of the “sixth grade educated” family heads were un employed. Note also the advan tage which the college graduate had over the high school graduate. Of the college graduates more than 84 i per cent were employed, while of j the high school graduates less than 70 per cent were employed. This j shows definitely an advantage in favor of the college graduate of ten | points, dr 14 per cent. In earning pov/er the advantage of the college graduates is even greater. The “sixth grade edu-j cated” individuals were receiving $67.60 per month, the high school graduates $100.12, the college grad uates $145.93. There is thus an ad- j vantage of more than 100 per cent i in favor of the college graduate as ( against the man with the sixth grade education, and of 45 per cent t over the high school graduate. Exceptions Few Of course, it is obvious that in general those who have received college training have higher nat ural ability, and occasionally some-: one without a college education may rank as high as the college | graduate, both in efficiency and in earning power. But this fact in nowise contradicts the positiveness j of the arguments in favor of a col-1 lege preparation. It is clearly evi-; dent that a college education pays: richly from an economic standpoint., The college prepared man not only ' succeeds more completely and fully; in normal and prosperous times, '■ but is much more resistant to the ravages of economic crises and de pressions.

[ refer to Mr. William Henry Cham-! jerlin, for twelve years past one of he ablest newspaper correspond- { :nts in Russia. Mr. Chamberlin j ipproached the Russian problem .vith deep sympathy and enthusi asm. After twelve years’ observa- ■ Lion he concludes that the oppor :unities and benefits of democracy i a,re surpassingly great as against Ihe Russian communist dictator ship. In the Atlantic for Novem ber, 1934, under the caption “Fare tvell to Russia," Mr. Chamberlin says: "It was during my trip through the famine regions of Ukrafna i and the North Caucasus that I became utterly and definitely convinced that democracy, with all its faults, weaknesses and im perfections, is enormously supe rior to dictatorship as a method of government, simply from the point of view of the common man. Is there any recorded case in his tory where famine- not poverty or hardship or destitution, but stark famine, with a toll of mil lions of lives—has occurred in a democratically governed coun try ? Is it conceivable that the famine of 1932-1933 could have taken place if civil liberties had prevailed in the Soviet Union?” What more potent challenge can come to an American youth than to picture himself as a prepared leader in the modern democratic so ciety of America and the Western World, as he finds his answer to the question, “Does a College Edu cation Pay?” The problems of de mocracy are baffling and almost overwhelming; but the young man and the young woman of today, as with the young pioneers of the past, are not daunted by obstacles appar sntly insurmountable. The best in them arises to meet the challenge and make the conquest. The youth whom I salute will in large numbers continue to use the laboratories and libraries of our great colleges and universities to equip themselves for the fray.
