VOLUME XLVIII Number 19 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE.WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16, 1946 New Registration System Announced for Next Term Students. Enroll Between December 2,20; Arrangement Designed to Lessen Confusion A new advance-registration plan, necessitated by the Univer sity's huge enrollment, will be inaugurated this term, C. E. Avery, registrar, announced Tuesday. December 2 to 20 has been set as the period for students now enrolled to register for the winter ■term. Designed not to disrupt normal student life, the plan, it is hoped, will lessen the registration burden of both faculty and students. By aiding departments in maintaining continuity of .student registration, the change will mini mize the confusion found in the past at the beginning of each term. Students will pick up registration material from Johnson hall at any time between December 2 and 20. Registration procedures will then be carried out during each stu dent’s free hours. Upon completion of the various steps—which will be cut to a mini murru-enrollees will return to John son hall to pay fees and complete registration. Returning to the Uni versity in January, students will be completely enrolled and ready to begin classes. Attention New Students New students and former stu dents returning winter term will register during the period between December 16 to 20, and on January 2. The period for late registration remains the same as announced in title catalog.

M. Pallett, assistant to the president, said Tuesday. Permission was granted by the city council Monday night to allow the University to shut off traffic on Thirteenth during the ten minutes between class changes. Ultimately the city will install traffic lights to replace the barricades. All traffic was temporarily pro hibited from the thoroughfare Tuesday while the pavement was being resurfaced by the city, a three-inch coating of asphalt being applied between Franklin boule vard and the College Side. Placement Aid Expands, Girds For Graduates Aiming to provide jobs for all who want them, and in anticipation of a large graduation class this year, the University graduate placement service was recently ex panded and moved to larger quar ters in room 6, Friendly hall. The service, which is under the management of Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel administration, has been separated from the part time student employment service in order that it may concentrate on the placement of graduates and others seeking full-time positions upon leaving the University. Part-time service will continue to operate from the office in the YMCA build ing. Dean Onthank has been freed from enough other responsibilities to permit him to devote much of his time to the placement of graduates, (Please turn to page tzeo) FLASH Flash! 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, Oc tober 15.

Pictured above is an air view of the temporary Veterans’ dormitory which is not intended to be a part of the new campus that is now in the planning stage. Duck Campus, 19?? Model, Outlined Plans Call for New Structures, Many Changes in Landscaping By GLORIA SMITH The model Oregon campus: Beneath the familiar outline of the Webfoot home lies the shadowed form of the future. What scenes will Ducks of new years see ? Construction plans for the University are all problematical. Earl M. Pallett, assistant to the president, recently summed up the situation when he said, “Right now campus plans are in a state of flux. It’s hard to say anything definite. Enrollment this year has reached a total that was expected 15 years from now.” With this sudden increase in enrollment, building space is limited, but it would be impossible to erect all the necessary buildings immediately. Model Laid Down A model plan for the campus has been laid down, but is subject to change at any time. There are some constructions, however, which will of necessity have to be built. These particular build ings will be the first to go under construction. Such necessities would include dormitory space and the long-awaited student union. Present plans for the new women’s dormitory locate the building on Fourteenth avenue between Emerald and Beech streets. Construction plans are made to enable additions which may carry the building over to Onyx street. A proposed duplicate to the John Straub hall is laid out to face Emerald street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth avenues. These plans have the construction adjoining the central part of Straub; at the back and forming two large courts. Married Student Housing •> j Living structures for married couples have been proposed for! the block which is now occupied by part of the tennis courts. Eastj of these might be another men’s dormitory patterned after Straub; and the duplicate.
