Letter Reveals
Stude in Alaska
Far From Schools
Geometry Student
Allowed Privileges
An illustration of the popularity
of the University extension de
partment came to light Friday
when a letter was received from
the mother of Clifford Shellabar
ger, who lives in Skweatna, Alas
ka, and who has recently complet
ed a course in geometry sent to
him by the University of Oregon
extension division.
The purpose of Mrs. Shellabar
ger’s letter was to find out if it
would be possible for her or her
neighbor to supervise her son’s fi
nal examination in the course in
stead of having the examinatioh
supervised by a school superinten
dent or principal which is required
in the ordinary case.
Skweatna is located on the
southern coast of Alaska and is
over a hundred miles away from
Anchorage the nearest place
where a school superintendent or
principal can be found. In order to
make the trip to Anchorage it
would be necessary to charter
planes. “It would be impossible for
him to take the course at Anchor
age at this time due to the expense
of the trip,” Mrs. Shellabarger
wrote.
The extension department ha3
decided to allow the boy to take
the examination under the super
vision of his neighbor whom his
mother mentioned in the letter.
“This is a very good illustration
of the use people can make of cor
respondence courses,” Miss Mo
zelle Hair, head of the extension
department, said. It probably
would be utterly impossible for the
boy to go to school but because of
extension division work the boy
can become educated through cor
respondence study.

Student Makes
Bronze Figures
By New Method
D'o n a 1 d McDonald, graduate
sculpturing student working for
his master's degree, is using a new
process of making bronze figures.
The method which has been used
very little as yet, consists of build
ing up the figure of clay, making
a plaster mold of it, forming a
plaster cast of the mold and spray
ing bronze not over one-half inch
thick on the plaster cast.
The thin bronze coating, McDon
ald explained, is better because it
brings out every detail clearly.
McDonald made one head, Egyp
j tian style, which is now on display
in the Little Art Gallery, and is
working on his second one. This is
of Jeanne Nasser, sophomore in
art, and is modeled after the style
of the old Grecian heads.
Miss Nasser has been modeling
for him for five weeks, and Mc
Donald expects to have the figure
finished in two more weeks.
We. Sincerely Thank You
Serving You—
lias been our pleasure
Our best wishes go with you all

Harve McKee
This scribe has warned to “write
up” Harve McKee since he first
shoved a leather coated fist into
my face. McKee by virtue of his
completely relaxed form in the
ring and his high and broad jump
ing merits deserves a place in this
column.
McKee is one of the best box
ers in Oregon. He is perfectly re
laxed in the ring. He carries his
guard low on his chest, but he has
such a quick eye that it is nearly
impossible to land a solid blow. He
knows at almost the same split
second that his opponent is in
tending to throw a punch.
He has a very fast counter
punch. One night he gave a var
sity leather-pushers more than
they could handle. A lack of fresh
man fights scheduled was the rea
son for his not staying out.
Last Friday, Harve, as he is
known, jumped six feet in the
high jump against the Oregon
State rooks. His teammate, Clair
Adams, tied with John Mandic of
Oregon State for first place at
six-feet-two. McKee has broad
jumped over 20 feet.
A graduate of Pacific Military
academy, Culver City, California,
McKee was a captain, and the third
highest ranking officer in the
school. He is a polo player. When
he was right forward, his team
beat UCLA varsity by a 10-2
count. He played halfback on the
football team, and he also was a
forward on the hoop squad. He
was a member of the Pi Kaps, run
ners-up in the “A” league intra
mural basketball.
McKee has pitched two no-hit
ters in the night softball league
down town. He pitches both for
the Southern Pacific team and for
his fraternity’s team.
Individuality Shown
By William McKinney
In Organ Concert
A masterful individuality and
finish was shown in the playing
of William McKinney, fifth-year
organ student, at his concert given
Thursday night in the music audi
torium.
The program opened with the
rapid movement of Bach's “Prelude
and Fugue in E Flat Major,” fol
lowed by Borowski's heavy, im
pressive "First Suite for Organ,'
including “Prelude,” “Toccata,’
and “Meditation.”
Next he played Guilmant's “Fi
nale," skilfully displaying the
many changing shades of tone ant
tempo of the selection. “Les Prel
udes" by Lisza contrasted anc
mingled the richness of the low
notes to high ones in a striking
effect.
Closing the program, Mr. Mc
Kinney and Eiwyn Myrick, pian
ist, played Demarest's “Fantasit
for Piano and Organ,” which dem
onstrated how impressive the mu
sic of the two instruments com
bined can be. The playing of botl
musicians was splendidly done.

Regner Sets
SDP Record
Freshman Bill Regner, present
! first string end for Tex Oliver,
' kept up the by-word, “a record a
day,” in the Sigma Delta Psi tests,
when he heaved the baseball 340
feet 1 inch Thursday. It bettered
the old local record of 322 feet 6
inches set in 1935 by Ben Har
greaves.
Regner now has completed six
of the thirteen tests, and has an
excellent chance of qualifying for
the national honorary, Russ Cut
ler, intramural instructor said.
Another all-around athlete, George
"Porky” Andrews, is nearly fin
ished in his tests with but one to
pass. Two others are close enough
to have a chance to pass before
the deadline Monday, May 15.
Boyd Brown, Bill Hayward’s
javelin ace, is almost certain to
break his old record of 197 feet set
last year when he throws for the
books next Monday, after return
ing from the division champion
ship at Pullman.
and Miss Ketchum is the only one
to have received one from Ore
gon yet this year.
The scholarship consists of grad
uate study and practical business
experience in some of the leading
retail stores of Chicago. Miss
Ketchum last week won the Phi
Chi Theta silver key for being the
most outstanding senior woman in
business administration.
An advisory council on educa
tion in the graphic arts has been
formed by the Carnegie Institute
of Technology.
Opportunity for
West Point Post
Awaits Web foot
A real opportunity is knock
ing- at the door of every Oregon
man between the ages of 17 and
21 who has military inclinations.
Congressman Pierce has request
ed Dr. Donald M. Erb. president
of the University, to recommend
a student for a West Point ap
pointment. Of course, the one
hitch is that the student must be
able to pass the examinations.
Teachers Note
A little note of encouragement,
written almost 20 years ago by
W. F. G. Thacher, professor of
English and advertising, started
Mrs. E. H. Hedrick writing short
stories for the Saturday Evening
Post, Liberty, Esquire, and other
magazines.
Several years ago Helen Hed
rick found on the back of a. short
story Mr. Thacher had corrected
when she was a student of his at
the University, a note telling her
to keep writing for one day she
would be a good writer. So it was
that a long time after graduation
she again started to write short
stories, this time for profit.
Mrs. Hedrick writes of the
Northwest, coming from Medford
herself. Her latest short story is
in this week's Saturday Evening
Post entitled, "I Remember the
Rain.”
Her first story, “The Road Kid”
was published last summer. Mrs.
Hedrick is the wife of the superin
tendent of Medford public instruc
tion and is the mother of several
children.
