NUMBER 83
Oregon's Seventh Head Man
Dr. Donald Erb . . . finishes first week as president of Oregon.
Inspired Webfoots Will
Send Hoopsters South
Overlooked by a 40-foot "O” outlined in flames, an inspired crowd
of Webfoot supporters will gather tomorrow night at the railroad sta
tion to send off a do-or-die Lemon and Green basketball team to the
coast conference championship wars in California. Ralliers will meet
at 8:30 p.m.
The first crowd to gather for such a purpose in 11 years, students
and townspeople will make the most of their distinction in giving
“Hobby” Hobson and his boys their last bit of home boosting.
The flickering light of torches carried by Skull and Dagger men
will add to the rally atmosphere, while the University band and the
American Legion drum corps will also contribute to»the general up
roar for the departing northwest conference champions.
German Penologist
Due Next Summer
Dr. Hans von Hentig, eminent
Kuropean penologist from the Uni
versity of Kiel in Germany, will
be among the visiting professors
on the University campus during
the 1938 summer session.
A new course will be offered in
speech pathology, with the co
operation of the speech clinic of
the school of education. The class

gon’s new mentor, “Tex” Oliver.
The class is given for high school
coaches.

$2 Fee Boost
Mai] Come up
At Meet Today
Opposition Evidenced
In Last Meeting's
Motion to Table the
Question
Action on the proposed plan to
increase tuition fees $2 per term
may be taken at the meeting of
the state board of higher educa
tion in Portland today. The group
referred this proposal to Chancel
lor Hunter for further study at the
last meeting, January 25.
The suggested raise, from $10 to
$12 per term, came from the
board’s finance committee. It
would be levied on all undergradu
ates in every institution of the
state system.
Opposition to the finance com
mittee’s report was seen at the
last meeting when a move to ta
ble the question for further study
drew the support of three board
members.

I have in returning to the de
partment,’’ said Dr. Boyer Sat
urday. "I feel quite at home
here.”
Besides getting the depart
ment’s work for next year in
shape, filling in new classes, and
doing other revisory work, Dr.
Boyer will assist Dr. Donald M.
Erb in his new duties for a time,
“If he is needed,” he said.
Dr. Boyer will teach no classes
until fall term. At that time he

Shirts Delayed?
New Postal La w
Changes Mails
Students of the University,
who send their laundry home and
find that it is frequently delayed,
are actually themselves to blame,
according- to an announcement
made Monday by Frank L. Armt
tage, Eugene postmaster.
The delay is caused because*
students or their parents havo
failed to remove cancelled
stamps from the postage cards.
Such stamps must be removed,
even if the cards are reversed,
since the recent enactment of a
postal law.
Neglect of this kind usually
causes a one-day delay, Mr. Ar~
mitage says. He advises Etun i
dents to inform their parents to
conform.
