VOLUME XLVII
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON,
Number 50
EUGENE, THURSDAY. JANUARY 3, 1946
Returning Vets Welcomed
By Administration, Students
Hearty welcome to Oregon men and women returning to the
University of Oregon after wartime service to the country was
■“Expressed Wednesday by Dr. Earl M. Pallett, executive secre
tary, speaking in behalf of President Harry K. Newburn, who
is in the East in the interest of the institution:
"It is gratifying to see so many of the former students back
on the campus after doing their share in the war,” Dr. Pallett
said. "I notice also a large number of new students among the
returning veterans, and to them as well as to the former Oregon
men and women and to other new students we extend a most
hearty welcome.
“The newcomers may he assured that everything possible
is being done to take care of them, both in the difficult matter
of housing and in the academic work of the University. It is
unfortunate that housing conditions are so difficult, but with the
active co-operation of the people of Eugene the situation is
rather better than had been expected.
“Students registering this term in the face of the unusual
discomfort are showing a spirit that should .carry them along
successfully in their pursuit of an education.
“Veterans who returned last term made, in many instances,
rather exceptional scholastic records. All may be assured of
every effort on the part of the faculty and administration to
see that they get the most possible out of this educational
opportunity.”
Demand for Housing
Still Exceeds SuddIv
Despite the increased facilities
for the housing of University stu
dents, many prospective students
were unable to register this term
because there is no place for them
to live, University officials an
nounced.
Although no one has been re
fused admittance to the Univer
sity, letters were sent out to those
for whom no housing was available
warning them that if they wanted
to attend, they would have to find
their own rooms. Karl W. On

Of those students who were liv
