UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10,1944
Hobson Takes Year’s Leave
To Study for Doctor’s Degree
Howard A. “Hobby” Hobson, basketball and baseball coach,
will interrupt nine years with the University when he takes a
“^one-year sabbatical leave of absence July 1. Mr. Hobson will go
to Columbia university to study for his doctor’s degree, and per
haps assist with the navy physical fiitness program there, as well
as research work and study in basketball and baseball.
This announcement came Tuesday from Acting President
Orlando J. Hollis. At the same time
it was learned that intercollegiate
basketball competition will be con
tinued during the next season, 1944
45. Mr. Hobson has recommended
that John Warren, acting head foot
ball coach and freshman baseball
and basketball coach, take over his
duties until Mr. Hobson’s return on
July 1, 1945.
Anson Black Cornell, athletic
manager, and Colonel Bill Hay
^srard, track coach for many years,
are also expected to remain with
the University school of education.
At Columbia Mr. Hobson, after
nine years on the staff of the school
of education and of the athletic
board, will engage in advanced
study for his doctor of education
degree. He received his master’s
degree there in 1929.
His request for a sabbatical leave,
Mr. Hollis said, has been approved
by the University administration,
and is subject to final approval by
the state board of higher educa
tion. The board will meet next
Tuesday.
The announcement that basket
ball will be continued follows sev
eral months of speculation that the
contrary would be true, and that
coaches were being asked to resign.
Ballot Published
For Union Needs
Published elsewhere in the paper
is a ballot to be used for indicating
student opinion as to the needed
items in a student union building.
According to Gene Conklin, chair
man of the student union commit
jtee, “the building is becoming clos
er to an actuality than at any other
time, and we ought to start finding
out what we’ll want in the building
before it is built.”
The ballot lists most of the rooms,
committee meeting places, and oth
er facilities that students indicated
in a recent houst poll that they
would like to have in the student
union. Spaces are provided on the
ballot for stating any additional
“musts” that students might think
of.
Also on the ballot is a space to
indicate w'hether the student is a
soldier student, civilian man or
woman. “We want to know what
,^the difference in opinion is,” Conk
lin said, "and be able to adjust the
facilities in the building accord
ingly.”

ing will have their written final at

"Shack Rats”
UrgedToSign
Some poor hungry soul got too
anxious and now the list of those
who planned to attend the Emerald
banquet, May 19, is missing from
the bulletin board. Whereabouts of
the list is a mystery but if Emerald
workers wish to go to the banquet
they should not keep that fact a
mystery, even though they may
have already signed up.
Because of the seeming impossi
bility of discovering the lost sheet,
a call has gone out for all shack
rats to come down to the Emerald
and state their intention as to
whether they wish to come to the
banquet or not. This applies to all
those whose names were on the list.
Khaki Copies to Hit
Doorsteps Thursday
A special Gl-edition of the Em
erald will appear on house door
steps and in the Co-op tomorrow
morning. Air Corps and Engineer
journalists—both of them—will col
laborate tonight to put out this
special issue.
