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.

Barricades to Close
Main U of O Artery
During Class Shifts
Blocking- . of Thirteenth, street
during the changing of classes will
begin as soon as proper barricades
and methods of control are worked
out but University officials, E. 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,

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. L
The student union building will be located between Univer
sity and Onyx streets and extending from Thirteenth to a point
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth avenues. Possible future,
