Fortune Prints Work Of Oregon Painters The July issue of Fortune mag azine printed a color reproduc tion of a painting by David Mc drawing and painting at the University of Oregon. The painting, entitled “Logged Off,” illustrates the cut-over tim berland typical to the Pacific Northwest, and was painted on a hillside farm near Eugene. A sketch of the Kaiser ship yards in Portland, drawn by Una Wilkinson, wife of Jack Wilkin son, instructor in drawing and painting, appears in the same issue. The sketch is one of a se ries depicting defense activities in the northwest which Fortune commissioned Mrs. Wilkinson to draw. - The two illustrations appear in the same article, “The Westward Empire,” which discusses the Risibility of industrial develop ment in the West as a result of the 'wartime situation. assistant professor of Kaiser Yards Major Henry W.

ROTC unit. Reserve-Conscious Students Swamp Physics Department By MARGE ROBINSON Swamped! That one word describes physics classes at the University of Oregon last summer and denotes a full-to-the brim condition that may well persist into the regular school year. An almost unbelievable number of students—86 in all— were enrolled in physics 201, the first term of general physics, through the first session of summer school 1942; and 75 stu uems continued meysame course during- post session. Thanks to the new streamlined program inaugurated this sum mer for defense, energetic en rollees were able to complete courses corresponding to a full year of general physics in only ten weeks. Physics 201, normal ly taken fall term of the regular year, lasted all ten weeks, both summer terms; while physics 202 and 203, corresponding to fall and winter terms ordinarily, were given first and second sessions respectively. Thus, by “doubling up” (taking two physics courses during the same session), many students completed the entire se quence. There were 57 students in physics 202 this summer and 49 in 203. These figures contrast with the 60 stu4lnts enrolled in the two sections of general phys ics fall term 1942. About half the physics enrollees this summer were pre-medics students- who enrolled as freshmen 'in March of this year and will enter the ii" March, 1943, class at the medical school in Portland, according to Dr. Ernest H. Collins, instructor in physics. Largely ,the rest of those in physics were preparing for special divisions of the army or navy; the communications branch of the army air corps and for navigation or gunnery in class V-l of the naval reserve. Dr. Collins reported that the summer classes were not, how ever, entirely masculine. Three girls were enrolled in physics, breaking the monotony of the daily grind and showing that a course so valuable in the war emergency can be utilized by women as well as by men. The American institute of physics has predicted that en rollment in 'physics classes in higher educational institutions throughout the nation will be two to three times the normal this coming school year. Statistics show that the University of Ore gon is doing its part to make the prophecy come true. Cokes? No! H20Please The well known phrase, “Let’s go get a coke” will soon be turn ing into “How about a nice cold glass of water?” in all the fra ternities, sororities, and living organizations on the campus as a result of the quick disappear ance of coke machines. Many Reasons According to Mr. J. G. Foster, manager of the Coco Cola bot tling works, the reason for this lack of machines are: in Jan uary a restriction Avas passed limiting the amount of sugar which coke manufacturers could use, 80 per cent less than in 1941; in May another restriction was passed on the amount of bot tle tops which could be used, 70 per cent less than in 1941, result ing in a 10 per cent loss of busi ness: shortly thereafter a third restriction was passed on the use of distributing trucks on regular routes and special routes. The coke machines on the campus are considered by Mr. Foster as a special route because of the many little unnecessary trips which have to be made to the various houses to collect money. Chance for Cokes Mr. Foster said that if the houses would have the money for HELEN ANGELL... . . last year’s Emerald editor, ivho is now an assistant editor an the Headers’ Digest staff. the coke all ready upon delivery thereof possibly some arrange ments could be made by which some of the houses could once igain get coke machines. Many of these machines are be ing sent to the various army :amps all up and down the coast, rhe one remaining machine now it the Igloo will soon be re moved and sent to the air base it Medford. A number of Wayne university classes in retailing are being con ducted inside Detroit stores. n Tiffany-Davis Drug Co, Again Welcomes You IF YOUR NEEDS BE SMALL OR GREAT_WE ARE HAPPY TO SERVE YOU!
