Memorial Service Sunday To Honor M.H. Douglass A memorial service, to be ^dedicated to the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew H. Douglass, will be held Sunday at 4:30 p. m. in the Congrega tional church. Dr. W. G. Nich olson, pastor, will conduct the service which, he stresses, will not be an eulogy, but rather a vesper service. All friends of Mr. and Mrs. Douglass among faculty and students are invited. Douglass served as librarian on the campus for 32 years, and built the present library after studying libraries over the country. His dream, to build a library designed for both usefulness and beauty, was realized in 1937, when the present library was built. During his years at the University, he in creased the number of books from 15,000 to 333,000 Volumes. .-r Held Many Posts Douglass was active in profes sional activities; he was a member of the American Library associa tion, president of the Iowa Library association, president of the Pacific Northwest Library association for 42 years and for several years its treasurer. In 1942 Douglass resigned his office, but the Pacific Northwest Library association recognized his accomplishments at the University of Oregon library by electing him to honorary life membership in the association. He was also a member of Phi Beta Kappa, honorary schol astic fraternity, and held office as treasurer, vice president and presi dent of the Oregon chapter. Those who recall Douglass re member his wide asortment of choice roses which he grew only as a hobby. Although roses were his avocation, Douglas was one of the judges in the famous annual rose festival held in Portland and was recognized as an authority on roses. Members of the library staff are furnishing flowers for the service. >i Oregana Portrait Deadline To Be Early Next Week Unaffiliated men or women who have not had their pictures taken for publication in the '1946 Oregana may have them taken at Kennell-Ellis Monday, Tues day or Wednesday of next week, Berta Reische, yearbook man aging editor, announced Friday.

The first broadcast recorded his election; his was the first inaug ural speech read on the air, and he was the first president whose death was reported by radio. Ex-Shackrat, George Pasero, Visits Campus One-half of the sport-editing team which in 1940 brought the Emerald one of its highest sports ratings in history appeared brief ly on the campus Thursday night and Friday in the person of George Pasero, ’40, navy chief yeoman. Pasero, rated one of the best sports-writing products the Emer ald ever developed, visited with friends and characteristically found time to talk over the ath letic situation with local athletes old and new. ‘Gold Dust Twin’ He has been in the navy for four years, 21 months of which was spent on desolate Adak island in the Aleutians. At one time Elbert Hawkins, the other half of the “Gold Dust Twin” Emerald sports team, was stationed only 100 miles away, although the pair never managed to get together. Pasero went to The Journal in Portland upon graduation in 1940, and at the time of his entry into service was one of The Journal’s first-line sports writers, regularly covering coast league baseball and similar events. His present sche dule calls for a few more months in the navy, "and I’ll worry about the rest of it when I get out.” Editorial Reunion The visit provided a service re union between Pasero and Lt. Ken Christianson, who is spending a sick leave finishing up graduation requirements. Christianson was a sports room boy under Hawkins and Pasero who later became a sports editor himself. After lunching Friday with George S. Turnbull, acting dean of the school of journalism, Pasero left for the Washington game in Portland.
