Trucking Strike
Holds Up Books
Repercussions of New York’s
trucking strike, which paralyzed
the state’s truck transportation
late in September, are being felt on
the Oregon campus in the form of
prolonged textbook shortages.
Book shipments scheduled to ar
rive at the University Co-op late
last month have been held over in
New York warehouses pending set
tlement of the transportation tie
up.
Because of urgent demand for
dictionaries the Co-op saved several
weeks’ delay by ordering a shipment
of Funk and Wagnall dictionaries
direct from the bindery without
waiting for them to be indexed.
General psychology texts have
arrived at the Co-op in adequate
quantity to handle the demand.
Shipments expected to arrive
next week include texts in account
ing by Noble, Shakespeare by
Brook, Cunliffe and MacCracken,
Economics by Gemmill and Blod
gett, and Writer’s Guide and Index
for English by Perrinn.
It is estimated that the United
States will export 400,000,000
bushels of grain and grain prod
ucts of 1946.
Vet’s Forum
The VA guidance center in Room
114 of the PE building announces to
all veterans that any problems deal
ing with educational benefits should
] be brought to this office.
Many veterans are writing direct
ly to the Fortland office and the
Portland office merely refers such
correspondence to the guidance
center on the campus. Veterans’
folders are in Room 114 of the PE
building and all such educational
benefit business should be instigat
ed there.
Veterans, 21 years of age, who
wish to vote for state and county
officials in November should regis
ter before 8 p.m. of Saturday, Octo
ber 5, at the Lane county court
house.
Official campus registration
booths will be in the campus Co-op
throughout Thursday, October 3,
but official county deadline extends
until October 5.
