yOLUME XLVIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1946 Number 2 New Deal Announced On ‘ R * Course Work Veterans registering for “refresher” courses must participate in all class work and activities, with the exception of the final examination and must maintain continued and consistent attend ance in class, the academic requirements committee announced after a meeting Sept. 9. “Refresher” means courses repeating or equivalent to work | previously taKen, designed to re store the student’s active contact with the subject, it was defined. Also, the committee reported, changes in “R” registration must be made in "the same way as other course changes” which means that changes from refresher to credit status must be made within the first two weeks of a term, and changes from credit to refresher status must be made within the first two five weeks of a term. The above interpretation con cerning participation in classes is in accord with the policy of the vet eran’s administration, the commit tee announced. In order to insure the enforcement of these require ments and keep faith with the vet eran's administration, the faculty has been requested to report promptly to George Hall, assistant dean of men in charge of veteran’s affairs, all cases of students regis tered on a refresher basis who do not attend class regularly or who do not participate in class activities, t , Such reports will be turned over 'Ey Mr. Hail to the veteran’s admin istration and will, according to existing regulations, presumably result in a curtailment or suspen sion of subsistence benefits for the veterans so reported.

Koch Cops Position\ As 'Date Man' m Meet Bob Koch, good “date man!” Koch was picked by Kwama, sopho more women’s service honorary as good “date bait” Tuesday evening over station KUGN’s new radio pro gram “After Hours.” Kwama’s qualifications for a good “date man” were strict, but on the dreamy side: height, six feet or or more; build, athletic; hair, blond or brunette; good manners; no con ceit; age, 24; friendly and a good conversationalist. In Kwama's estimation Bob meets or surpasses these qualities. He is six feet, one inch tall, has blond hair, is a good dancer, is not conceited, is a member of the foot ball team, and fills the other re quirements.

The reception and dance will be on the lines of the old Final Figures On Registration Not Available Registration at the’ University has proceeded slowly as planned, according to Clifford L. Constance, associate registrar, although Uni versity officials are still looking for ward toward a final touch that will break the all-time record of 3802 established last spring. Pre-freshman week estimates by Curtis E. Avery, based upon appli cations for enrollment, indicate that a figure of 5500 may be reached. Because of the deliberately slowed registration so that crowded and confused conditions might be avoided, the registrar’s office is re leasing no figures which might prove misleading in comparison with previous totals. Students whose registration ap pointments were from 8 to 12 Wed nesday morning began their signing for classes Wednesday afternoon, having received preliminary mater ials in the morning. Freshmen students have not yet begun their registration. —Photo by J. Warren Teter STAND BACK, BOLDING GOING UP ...
