Infirmary to Report Violators to Deans Student health authorities are really clamping down on those misguided souls who visit measles, mump, pneu monia, or any other kind of patient in the ailment castle. According to Dr. Fred X. Miller, physician in charge, it has become necessary from now on to turn in the names of all students found visiting in infirmary wards to the dean of men or dean of women for action by the disciplinary com mittee.

Cash Aid Imminent t or Defense Study Art Institute GrantsMoney For Session A grant of $2000 to carry on a summer art session has been re ceived from the educational com mittee of the American Institute of Architects, Dean E. F. Law rence of the school of architec ture and allied arts, announced yesterday. This session is planned espe cially for art teachers who are active in public school art in struct >n..The purpose is to fos ter interest in art appreciation. This will be the twelfth such ses sion held at the University. Last year was the first time since 1930 that the group has not met on this campus. Harvard was the scene of the conclave last year. Carnegie Corporation Money for this study is from a fund given to the education co'mmittee by the Carnegie cor poration and the summer session is, therefore, properly called the Carnegie art center although it is operated in conjunction with the regular art school summer session. From the $2000 grant 14 stu dents are expected to attend the sessibn. Applications have al ready been received from teach ers in Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, and California. They will be chosen from information on their applications, recommenda tions, and on the basis of making up a representative group from all schools. Transportation Teachers chosen to attend will live in the dorms and have at least part of their transportation to and from the center paid from the $2000. In the past years at Oregon over 150 schools have been rep resented at the sessions, one of which had 26 students.

Kellar, director of the experimental division of li brary cooperation for the library of congress, discussed the need for renewed effort .in the devel opment of library cooperation in view of present war conditions at a conference in the library this week. Mr. Kellar discussed the use of microfilm and microprint in the duplication of library material. It is now possible to photograph 100 pages of a bock and reduce them to a single page six by nine inches in size. Many libraries are now making use of this method of adding to their catalogs at very low cost.

The federal office of education, upon the recommendation of its war time commission, will ask congress for an appropriation for the aid of universities and col leges and students in the “ac celeration" of educational pro grams in the face of war emer gency needs, according to Dr. Frederick M. Hunter, chancellor of the state system of higher ed ucation. Trained Technicians "There is a dire need for trained technicians in this coun try,” Dr. Hunter said. “The army, navy, and defensive industries are actively competing for tech nologists even to the extent of signing up entire classes which are to graduate in June of this year.” The commission, in its survey, found that there are extreme shortages in four classes of tech nicians. They are engineers, phy sicists, chemists, and production, managers. Offer Services Although the University of Oregon will not be able to supply an abundance of technical work ers to the government and indus try, it will be able to help by offering the services of its busi ness administration graduates and doctors and nurses from the medical school. It was recommended to the commission by Dr. Hunter and his board that the office of edu cation seek federal aid for the colleges and universities of the country in the amount of $85 per year for each student accelerated •and that a loan-scholarship fund be set up for students so that where there was demonstrated need that $300 per year could be made available to them.
