Journalism Students Quiz
City Manager After Talk
Deane Seeger, Eugene city manager, was the target Wednes
day for a bombardment of questions by journalism students at an
informal discussion in the school of journalism.
In answer to questions as to whether the millrace would be
ready for the spring festivities, Seeger replied that it would be an
impossibility to have water in the millrace. The city does not yet
own the millrace, said Seeger, and
even if the race were purchased be
fore winter, it would be dry in the
spring to facilitate the building of a
new 4 lane highway which will
border the race.
A plan is being worked out at
present, stated Seeger, whereby,
with the financial aid of the Uni
versity, the city would be able to
purchase, and to maintain, the race.
The completion of these plans will
not be possible before next fall.
Students showed interest in the
Thirteenth avenue traffic problem,
as questions were asked of Seeger as
to the city’s plan for detouring traf
fic. The manager said that a plan
was ready to be presented to the
city council on October 14 which
would have the traffic diverted from
Thirteenth avenue between Alder
and University streets each hour
of the day from 8 in the morning
until 5 in the afternoon. Traffic will
be halted at ten minutes to the hour
until the hour.
In an informal speech preceding
the question period, the city man
ager discussed the merits of the
city manager type of government.
He outlined briefly the duties of a
city manager.
Manager Seeger was introduced
by Hillier Krieghbaum, associate
professor of journalism.

ROTC Cadet
Rolls Doubled
Fall term initial cadet enrollment
of 337 showed Wednesday that the
University department of military
science and tactics is training twice
as many potential reserve army of
ficers as its average term registra
tion during 1945-46.
Exactly a year ago ROTC courses
had 207 students, but this figure
dropped to 161 for winter term and
to 123 in spring.
This year marks the return of ad
vanced courses to the department.
Advanced infantry and air corps
trainees now total 53. This number
swells the over-all total, which in
cludes both freshman and sopho
more classes which are larger than
last year’s.
Experienced Help Now
Available to Employers
With a growing number of job
seeking students placing their
names on the files, the campus
branch of the US employment ser
vice announced Wednesday that
employers may hire students expe
rienced in many lines of work.
Mrs. Lucille Parsons, branch
manager of the employment office,
listed salesmen, typists, and secre
taries as leading categories in
which many students are well quali
fied.
Interested students should drop
into the agency occasionally, Mrs.
Parsons urged, as many “rush or
ders” come which demand imme
diate action. Students should also
make sure that the office has their
telephone number, she said.
House of representatives has ac
cepted the “anti-war” constitution
for Japan.
