Rambling through the Registrar’s records in search of a
feature story the most startling change between fall term 1942
43 and 1943*44 is the same old well-known fact—decrease of
men students. Actual facts are: last year, 1385 men; this year
308.
Outside of its effect on the total enrollment, 2958 last year
and 1735 this, the one-sided regis
tration has made other differences.
Last year 703 of Oregon’s students
were 100 per cent self supporting.
This year the number stops at 330;
384 students were 75 per cent self
supporting, now only 158 are.
It has made a difference in age
levels too. Common freshman age
limit for ’42-’43 was 18 for both
men and women. Now because of
speeded-up education, 17 has be
come the top age for freshman
men, while 18 still holds for the
women. But 19, 20, and 21 are still
top ages for the other classes re
spectively.
Interesting to note is the foreign
student lists. In 1942-43 there were
13 students from Canada, two from
Mexico, one from Russia, France
and Norway; two from the Philip
pine islands. Also there were five
"^negroes, one from Panama; and
eight Chinese students, mostly
from the United States and Ha
waii. This year the number of

students have shrunk to six Cana
dians, four negroes, five Chinese,
one Mexican and one Brazilian.
From., the., matrimonial., stand
point ’42-’43 had 103 married
men and 51 married women. This
year the women have a slight edge,
60 married men and 63 married
women.
Portland, Eugene, Salem, and
Medford are still the top home
towns. Top high school both years
is Eugene high, closely tagged by
Grant high school, Portland.
California students show a dras
tic male reduction, 53 in ’42 to 7
this fall; but the women have
climbed from 62 to 76. Other states
represented this fall term were
Arizona, Colorado, Washington,
D. C.; Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Mich
Library Reports
Increased Use
General circulation, including
circulation and reference depart
ments, has increased three per cent
over la t year, reported Willis C.
Warren, acting librarian. Figures |
are for the period of July 1913 to I
January 1944.
Through January 31, 50,4391
books had been circulated. Mr.!
Warren attributes a large part of:
the increase to work being done
by the foreign area and language |
men, but civilian use has also in-'
creased. In addition, he says, that '
since circulation during summer;
term was lower than the year be
fore, the increase after October
is about 20 per cent.
Circulation of reserve books has
dropped 19 per cent. “This is due 1
to the decrease in enrollment,”
Mr. Warren said. Last year 104,553
books were used from the reserve
shelves compared with 71,864 for
this year. In this department also,
the largest decrease was during
the summer session.
