Seven Added To Education Faculty Staff So that Oregon-trained teach ers, irrespective of department, will comply to a uniform stand ard of excellence, the school of education has enlarged its fac ulty to include representatives from seven additional fields, Dean J. R. Jewell announced Tuesday. New faculty members represent all the schools or colleges in the University system now teaching future instructors. List The next University catalog will list the following teachers under the augmented school of education faculty: Ernest G. Moll, of the college of arts and letters; Dean Victor P. Morris, school of business ad ministration; Dr. Paul B. Means, college of social science; Dr. Charles H. Secoy, natural science department; Miss Maude Kerns, school of architecture and allied arts; Miss Maude Garnett, school of music; and Miss Janet Wood ruff, school of physical education. Unification This move was made by the school of education to insure that all other schools, colleges, and departments which cooperate in teacher preparation will have a unified purpose—to make sure that the University as an insti tution organizes upon one basis its procedures in education of those planning to teach. Formerly, the education facul ty was made up of persons teach ing only education courses, but the list now includes in addition: (ll Instructors actually offer ing courses which grant credit in education. (2) Those who regularly su pervise student teachers, and (3) Others appointed by the dean of the school of education after consultation with other deans to insure that at all times there shall be representation from the seven teaching fields men tioned above. Improvement For more than 20 years, the University had a committee on teacher placement. Since that group did not meet the problem of teacher preparation success fully, two years ago the faculty asked that the committee be abol ished and an interdepartmental committee on teacher education be substituted. Now, it is felt that if the school of education has, in stead of a separate committee, a revised and enlarged faculty, its purposes will be better accom plished.

Schedler Resigns Post On Campus Defense Resignation of Martin Sched ler as chairman of the student defense committee was announced last night by Lou Torgeson, ASUO president. Torgeson will take over Schedler’s work for the time being, he said. Shedler, Torgeson explained, resigned because of a heavy load of studies and outside work which would not permit him to give the attention to the defense committee he felt it deserved. Two Five-Week Sessions (Continued from Page oar) student ‘‘poll” which would en deavor to determine the courses most students would desire for summer sessions, and to ascertain how many students could be ex pected to attend. The curriculum, then, would be built on the basis of results of this poll. Dr. Pallett said, however, that the poll probably would not be begun until a system of “educa tion" had been carried out to in form the students in various fields of the advantages of sum mer school. In last week’s interview Dr. Pallett admitted that the pros pect of summer school was not a pleasant one to most students, but said he felt they would rather attend summer school and grad uate before they were called into armed service. This optional summer school program is the substitute plan the state board of higher educa tion proposed at its Portland meeting a week ago to be put into effect instead of the full “four term school year.” The University medical and nursing schools in Portland, however, have adopted the straight four-term year plan. Help, Police! Girl in Chains Tells Her Story Some people seem to always be losing their jewelry, but not Peg gy Kemp, freshman in architec ture and allied arts, in fact, she has not even taken some of her jewelry off for more than eight months. Brunette Miss Kemp wears on her left arm eight silver brace lets that she put on the first week in June, 1941, and has not had off since. Two of the bracelets are made from a necklace her moth er was given when she was en gaged. A necklace that was a family heirloom has been made into two more of the silver ban gles. One slave bracelet ana three chains bring the total wrist orna ments the freshman girl wears to the total of eight. “When I go swimming people are always reminding me that I liavent taken my bracelets off yet, but I never go without them, and I hope to keep them on for a year,” Miss Kemp explained. “Some people think that the weight of them has made my left arm longer, and I think maybe it has a little bit,” she said as she held her arms out to compare their length. The board indicated that it might institute the four-term year in 1943 if summer session enrollments this year seem to warrant such action. VALENTINES Cards for all tastes SOME SWEET AND SENTIMENTAL SOME SIMPLE AND DIGNIFIED STILL OTHERS PLAINLY INSULTING the COOP" Houses Asked For Soldier Aid Recreational equipment for sol diers stationed in the Eugene area will be solicited from cam pus organizations this week by heads of houses, according to Winnie Green, president. Solicitors are especially anxious to obtain cards, card tables, books, magazines, and phono graph records, Miss Green said. The USO does not provide for soldiers near Eugene, because there are fewer than 5,000 here, she explained, so the heads of houses will do the work. A canvass of men’s and wom en’s houses will be begun in the next few days, she said, with an eye to “getting each organization to do all it can.” The drive will last as long as necessary to collect sufficient ma terial for the projects. Solicitors follow: June Tyler, Sally Murrow, Mar ion Gehring, and Florence Cooley. Dr. F. Alton Wade of Miami university was chief scientist of the recently returned Byrd Ant arctic expedition.
