Three thousand one hundred thir ty-seven male veterans have com pletely changed the man-shortage aspects found on the campus a year ago.

Remedy Proposed For UO Traffic Jam By LARRY LAU Deane Seeger, Eugene city manager, stated Monday evening that the city streets committee lias conferred at length with Dr. Harry K. Newburn, University president, and that a special, three-step plan to alleviate the Webfoot traffic problem will be recommended to the city council in their forthcoming meeting next Monday night. It will be requested that permission be given the University to block Thirteenth by means of either lights or barricade, on the east side of its intersection with Kincaid Street, and on the west side of its intersection with University Street. The streets are to be blocked off for ten minute periods each hour, according to the plan, beginning at 7:50 a.m., and ending at 5 p.m. on all school days. It was pointed out that there was little necessity of block ing the streets all day because the majority of students are either in class or off campus except for the periods when classes change. It will also be suggested to the city council that suitable signs be erected on Thirteenth to warn motorists of the ten minute closed periods, and that through trucks be prohibited from using ■Thirteenth. It Avas on this score that Seeger felt there would come the strongest protest. Representatives of logging interests in the community have been complaining of the existing restrictions. What attitude they, will take towards further restrictions is problematical, he felt. _ (Pledge turn to page eight) Panel Will Decide Tonight On ’Welcome Girl’ Finalists Five finalists for the “Homecoming Hostess” of 1946 will be chosen tonight when candidates from living organizations appear before judges for the initial selections of Oregon’s “welcome girl.” Judging will take place at 8 p.m. in Alumni hall of Ger linger hall.
