Radio Field to Open to More Women, Vere Kneeland Tells Matrix Crowd vvna,L, tuc iuture ui raaio may J-^e is unknown, but one thing that we do known is that women will be there to take their part,” Vere Kneeland, Portland radio woman who spoke at the annual Matrix Table banquet last Friday night, told her audience. “Opportunities for women in this field have increased a great deal since I first went into radio work 16 years ago,” she continued, “and it is my belief that they will continue to increase even more in the next few years.” Specifically some of the depart ments which are open to women in varying degrees are the continu ity work or script writing, as it is commonly called, public relations, production work, which includes mechanical work and the traffic department, and the business de partment. Continuity work offers perhaps the best opportunity for women. Training is now being given in col leges in a cooperative program be tween journalism and radio depart ments to prepare graduates for radio work. In connection with this system, Mrs. Kneeland ex plained, Portland radio stations have formulated a plan of pre senting a radio scholarship each year to outstanding students in this field at the University.

Marjory Allingham created a mysterious dread as the mad Cas sandra who foresees that she shall be hell’s tool in the destruction of the house that has destroyed hers. As the beautiful Helen, Phyllis Kiste played her role with a proud grace. The choruses brought relief of the dramatic tension. Increasing the dramatic atmos phere is the very beautiful light ing, and the background music written by Arnold Elston of the University music department. The finale, sung by a chorus directed by Maude Garnett, also of the music school, is an appropriate farewell to burning Troy.

She also partici pates in the drama group of the Iowa City Woman’s club and the choral speaking section of the poetry division. Among her more enjoyable activities, Mrs. Newburn classifies the entertainment of freshman and transfer students in the orientation program sponsored by the University for new stu dents. She also enjoys gardening. When asked what she thought-of the prospects of being the first lady of the University of Oregon, she said, “Naturally, we are look ing forward to our new home. Our friends who know Oregon tell us that the people are friendly, hos pitable, and neighborly. We expect soon to be classified among the many who look upon the Pacific Northwest as the finest place in the world to work, to live, and to rear one’s family.” Jackie, more formally known as Jacqueline, is almost 16 years old and a student in the tenth grade at University high school, where cheerleading and the girls’ ath letic association, along with her studies, keep her pretty busy.

Faculty and students alike have shared the University of Iowa’s regret at losing Dean Newburn. Ferhaps his greatest achievement during his three years as dean was the working out of a new curricu lum which is based on the student needs rather than on tradition. This curriculum, which was the product of two years’ study and deliberation by practically all the liberal arts faculty has attracted the attention of educators through out the country. Many have come to Iowa City to study the plan in operation. The new plan establishes defi nite requirements for all, but gives the student more freedom and help in building a curriculum to meet his individual needs. One of the interesting parts of the new cur riculum is a communication skills division for freshmen which re places courses in freshman Eng lish and speech, and insures that a student will attain a certain degree of proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking. If he can demon strate that proficiency when he conies, he is excused from the course. Otherwise, he takes it until he can met the required standards. Taught in Illinois Dean Newburn earned his master of arts degree from the State University of Iowa in 1931 and a Ph.D. in 1933. He taught school in Illinois, where he coached football, basketball, and track, and served as high school principal and superintendent of schools for sev eral years. Beginning as a part-time prin cipal of Iowa City University high school, he soon became assistant professor of education, then associ ate professor and director of Uni versity high school. Since 1941, he has been professor and dean of the college of liberal arts. In 1938, he visited schools in Scotland and England under auspices of the Carnegie corporation. Dean Newburn has been active in the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, where he is a member of the execu tive committee chairman of that organization’s commission on research and service. Many of his articles on educational problems have been published in professional magazines. He has traveled exten sively for the University. Students Regret Transfer As for what the students think, the following- is an excerpt from a letter recently written to Dean Newburn by the University wom en's association, representing- each j woman on the Iowa campus: “We j want you to know that we feel your leaving this university will be a great loss to Iowa as a school and to us individually for your guidance as dean of the college of liberal arts affects each of us so directly. We are sincerely sorry you are leaving. The University of Oregon can be proud that you ac cepted the position as president of th.at university, and may we again wish for your a most happy ancl successful future.” And as for what President-elect Newburn thinks, here is a message which he sends today through the Iowan to the Daily Emerald: "Recently I read an article in the “Adelphian" written by a stu dent at the University of Oregon. Since that time I have been more eager than ever to step again upon the campus which she describes so interestingly, and to become a part of the life of the University which she so obviously admires and re spects. Among our greatest plea sures will be the opportunity to associate with the many students and faculty members who must share her feelings toward the Uni versity of Oregon.” Plagued by Gremlins that fit on your tie knot and yank it to one side when you’re not looking?
