Juniors Lose
One Adviser,
Gain Another
Carlton E. Spencer
Will Guide Class;
Turnbull Resigns
Oregon’s junior class lost an ad
viser yesterday when George Turn

guidance, but received a new facul
ty leader last night when the presi
dent’s office announced that Carl

Professor Turnbull, journalism
instructor, gave up the post be
cause of lack of time, but the resig
nation will have no effect on his
teaching work here. He has been
adviser to the junior class since
1923.
“I am glad,” Professor Turnbull
declared yesterday, “that someone
as capable as Mr. Spencer will
take over the advisership. I am
certain he will be able to do a great
deal for junior activities on the
campus.”
Spencer is director of Oregon’s
flight instruction work, and has
taught here as professor of law
since 1929. He will take over his
positiop immediately and assist in
plans for this year’s Junior Week
