(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.

throughout the four years unless
the major is changed.
Another service to enrollees at
the Iowa university is an organized
group of upperclass women wh >
meet the students and introduce
them to their advisers who do only
tie actual advising. The upper
classmen then help fill out their

Same Here? 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

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.
