Final Constitution Draft Published Today

Eugene Three O'ClocI
Rooms; Need for Spri
By Chuck de Ganahl
So that veterans returning to
the University next term will not
have to be turned away disappoint
ed because there is no place to
house them, the University and the
Eugene chamber of commerce are
sponsoring a drive to open Eu
gene’s houses to accomodate 500
more veterans seeking an educa
tion.
At a meeting of the chamber of
commerce Ten O’clock club Fri
day afte-.ioon, Chairman Frank
Senn outlined the housing drive,
which started Sunday, to get liv
ing quarters to handle the expect
ed increase in returning GI’s
spring term.
The opening gun of the cam
paign was an interview over radio
station KORE with Dr. Harry K.
Newburn, president of the Uni
versity, and H. J. Cox, president
of the Eugene chamber. Dr. New
burn pointed out that the Univer
sity^ is at a very critical point be
cause of the housing shortage, and
that the response to this drive
might well determine whether the
school will grow as Oregon grows
in the future.

others.
Remodeling Nec.essary
In a talk to the Ten O’clock
club Friday, President Cox told the
gathering, “We’re starting this
campaign early, and we have a
definite reason. Last January we
discovered that many Eugeneans
would have provided rooms for the
boys if there had been time to get
ready. Some of the rooms needed
a little remodeling and furnishings
like beds, desks, or chairs. By
starting this effort early, we plan

New Guinea’s Shangri-la
Viewed by UO Graduate
By Maryann Thielen
New Guinea’s famous Shangri
la is an actuality for Carl Huffak
er, Jr., who flew over the valley
ancf prepared photographs of the
region for mapping purposes while
he was with the 2nd photo chart
ing squadron, a mapping unit of
the air corps.
Huffaker, anthropology gradu
ate student, was attached to one of
the five air corps units used for
aeronautical charting, specializing
in little known regions. His job
was to coordinate the work of the
photographic units with the map
ping units. While his unit was sta
tioned in Hollandia photographing
the New Guinea area, Huffaker
had an opportunity to fly over
Shangri-la which had been re
discovered in 1941 by men from
the air transport command work
ing out an air route.
Discovered In 1939
“A party of 90 from the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History
had previously discovered the val
ley in 1939,” Huffaker said, “but
they had not published their in
formation. The ATC boys were
disappointed when they found out
that they weren't the original dis
coverers.”
“The flat valley floor is about
5000 feet in elevation surrounded
by numerous ridges 10,000 feet or
more in height. The impassable
gorge through which the river
leaves the valley completes an
isolation as perfect as that of its
