Oregon Undergoes Painting, Clean-up Heading the list of maintenance and repair work handled through the University physical plant this week is the painting and clean-up work being done in Oregon hall. > Work of this nature was done in past years during summer va cations when only small portions of the University facilities were in use. Now that the buildings are being used full time on a capacity basis, all remodeling and repaint ing must go on while school is be ing conducted. The maintenance painters will go over other campus buildings in need of a new coat of paint when they complete the job now under way at Oregon.

Atomic Talk Aired Over KOAC Today Control of the atomic bomb and the British loan are among the pertinent questions to be discussed today when V. P. Morris, dean of the school of business administra tion, interviews Lois McConkey and Lloyd Frese over Station KOAC from 4 to 4:15 p.m. Miss McConkey and Mr. Frese were the representatives from the University at the College Congress held at Reed college recently and this broadcast is part of their re port to the student body. The pro gram will be informal and unre hearsed and will replace Dean Mor ris’ regular Tuesday broadcast, “World in Review.” Whether or not the University of Oregon sends a delegate to the UNO meetings in New York will depend, in part, on the interest in world affairs which can be aroused on the campus. In the near future a poll will be held to determine student reactions to the Pacific Northwest College Congress. The percentage of students participat ing in the poll will be the basis for choosing the winning school. Would you like to be a Crowning Glory?

Wright, professor of Romantic languages and faculty associate of Dr. Moore, officiating. Dr. Moore died suddenly Wednesday evening at a Eugene hospital. In tribute to the late professor, who also served as principal of University high school, Dean J. R. Jewell of the school of education, said, “The remarkable thing about Dr. Moore is that, after more than 25 years as a high school princi pal, he was still able to look at life through the eyes of the boys and girls of high school age. He had the same emotions and the same reactions that high school boys and girls have. He always accompanied the athletic teams on their trips and played an active part in student activities. Because he enjoyed the same things they did, the students enjoyed having him with them. He got a great deal of fun himself out of being young with the boys and girls. “In all my life I have only known one or two men as valuable as he at student counselling, and few men could be found anywhere who were better.’’ EUGENE HARDWARE “EVERYTHING IN HARDWARE” 93 E.
