I (Editor’s note: In a special communique to Oregon rooters, De! (smith, forward, gives his version of the team's trip to Kansas City.) By DEL SMITH The students of Oregon really made a great showing by coming down and giving us such a swell sendoff the morning the team took off for Kansas City. The spirit that was shown this year by the student body and townspeople is something that we can never forget. The telegrams we received, and the thought of people rooting for ns back home, helped keep us playing hard. Short Beds and Raw Eggs Our stay in Kansas City was not-as good as I had expected. The rooms were small, our eggs were only half cooked in the morning, and the beds were barely over five and a half feet Jong. You can imagine how fellows like Kenny Hayes and seven-foot Bob Kurland would curl up and try to sleep in beds like those. The stadium had no dressing rooms so we dressed in the hotel and took cabs. There was certainly no shortage of candy, bananas, or whis 1 cy in Kansas City. After Saturday night’s game was over, Reedy Berg and I went out and had a few banana splits. Reedy can cat more and faster than any guy I have ever seen. It wasn't until on the way hack that the fellows began to notice how he was handling those lunch boxes. We now call him “lunch box Berg.” Seven Come Eleven Our train broke down for an hour or so in a Wyoming cl sort and people on the train got into a quarter pitching con test out in the sand. Even Arise Cornell participated . . . and seemed to have a pretty good throwing arm too. In all it was a swell trip and I wouldn’t trade it for good grades in all my subjects. We had a lot of fun, saw many inter esting tilings, and have a lot of things to remember from it. Our hopes are that we can go back again next year and that litis trip will he extended to New York. PFC Lyman French, ’44, Reported Killed in Action PFC Lyman French was killed ir adion in Holland on February 27 Private French, the son of Rep resentative Giles B. French of Moro, was a prelaw student at the University before joining' the army. A member of the class of 1944, lio was attached to the eighth ar mored division of the ninth army.

Maybe Asked if he would be in favor or such a plan at Oregon, he said ). w as not familiar with the pro *. • iure on this campus and did not know if a need for such counseling' existed. Dr. Newburn was hesitant about committing' himself . to any ideas that lie may have of changing' existing policies until he has be come better acquainted with the University. Our new president feels student participation in the administration of university affairs is helpful. At Iowa, students handle dorm regu lations, vocational conferences, sponsor a series of lectures titled, "Information First," and assist on various student-faculty commit tees, "Yes," he said, "I think the students can be of tremendous help in handling' the affairs of a college.” Deunships to Come Confronted with the problem of several dennships and faculty ap pointments to be made, Dr. New burn stated that permanent ap pointments would be made "as soon as it is feasible, although some may have to wait until after the war." "1 have no definite plans at pres ent and must wait until I become better acquainted with present situations," was the reply he gave to the question of postwar plan ning. "Mv family and I are anxiously awaiting our coming to Eugene,” Dr. Newburn concluded. Mrs. New born was coming on this trip but dec idi d she should not leave their three-months-old son, Michael. Other members of the Newburn family are Jacqueline, who will be 1(> by the time they arrive in Eu gene. and Bob, who will be 14 in April. The new president was in Eu gene for the purpose of consulting with various administrative offi cers relative to plans for next year. The Newburn family will move to Eugene at the end of June so Dr. Newburn may assume his new duties July 1.

Death of Janet Smith (Please turn to page four) was able to rent University house, Fourteenth and University streets, and the first women's coop was organized in the spring of 1936. She lived with the charter coop women that term, and at several other times acted as housemother. Besides job hunting and helping to organize inexpensive living or ganizations with high social and scholastic standards for students of low financial means, Miss Smith founded Orides and Yeomen, and has served on various committees, such as the Oregon Mothers’ schol arship committee. In Tribute Acting President Orlando J. Hol lis: The University has suffered a great loss in the death of Janet Smith. Her services have been in valuable in securing for University students and graduates positions in which they could best make use of their abilities and training. Her circle of friends and acquaintances among employers was wide and enabled her to place University graduates to the greatest advan tage. She was regarded by Univer sity students as a close, sympa thetic friend. Her life was one of devoted service to others. Karl W. Onthank, dean of per sonnel administration: Janet Smith was an exceptional person in her range of interests and apprecia tions and especially in her devoted service to students trying to help themselves through the University, to whom she gave the later years of her varied and impressive (al though here little known) career. Her part in developing the stu dent cooperative houses, outstand ing on the campus, in securing scholarship funds, especially in bringing to the University by her aid and encouragement superior students who could not otherwise have come, were major services to the University as well as to the students themselves. Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, di rector of dormitories: Miss Smith was one of the finest spirited per sons I have ever met. She was un selfish in her service, devoted to her family and intimate friends, and was loyal to the University. She created an excellent spirit of cooperation. George S. Turnbull, acting dean, school of journalism: I don't know what wTe’re going to do without Miss Smith. Her sympathetic in terest in the students and her help in getting them needed jobs made her a place which can never be filled. She will be terribly missed. James H. Gilbert, dean, college Pf liberal arts: The untimely death of Janet Smith is a distinct loss to the University community. Her life was full of sacrifice and ser vice. Hundreds of graduates from the University will remember her many acts and her wise advice. Her assistance in the placement of University graduates has been in valuable to the institution. She commanded the confidence of em ployers throughout the Pacific area and had a rare gift of picking the person best suited for the posi tion. Marieta Probst, president, Uni versity house: Miss Smith has been very close to all of the girls here and has spent a lot of time with us. \\ e shall all miss her frequent visits. Grace Edwards, president, Kebec house: Miss Smith helped us get acquainted on the campus and assisted us in getting into activ ities. We all thought a great deal of her. Each girl in the house feels a deep personal loss in her death. Esther Paronen, president of Highland house: No words would be adquate to tell all that Miss YWCA Sets Installation Mary Corrigan, newly-elected president of the YWCA, an i her assisting officers will formally take office in a special installation ceremony to be held at 4 p.m. today in the Chi Omega house.

As a member of the committee on research projects and theses of the Northwest and the elemeHthry school curriculum committee, Miss Garnett will be busy during the conference. Smith has meant to us. It would be impossible to enumerate every thing she has done for us. No mat ter what happened she always saw us through; it was not only ma terial things, but also her spirit, her personality and untiring ef forts in helping others that seemed to spur us on. Betty Thorpe, president of Hil yard house: Though Miss Smith's passing is deeply felt she will al ways remain in our heart and memories. The first B-29 Superfortress pur chased through the sale of bonds and stamps by schools was bought by students of Abraham Lincoln and James Madison high schools, both of Brooklyn, N.
