Mo Dictionaries Until January “Most student supply needs have been satisfied,” M. S. McClain, Uni versity Co-op manager, said Thurs day, “but other orders won’t be filled for some time, as we cannot obtain; material from the manufac turers.” The publisher of the 2000 diction aries needed on the campus has ad vised the Co-op that these will not arrive until sometime after the first of January. English comp students, however, will be able to pick up their texts either late this week or early next week, according to a let ter from Scott-Foresman, publish ers. Mr. McClain has received a sheaf of telegrams from publishing firms all over the nation in answer to pleas from the Co-op for quick ship ping of ordered material. Various answers were given in explanation of the slow delivery, the major rea son being lack of paper and other bindery troubles, inadequate supply of labor, the eastern teamsters’ strike, and the unprecedented de mand. Students who desire drawing sup plies are least likely to obtain their needs. Orders for these materials are not being accepted now, nor will they be until the factories fill their back orders, In the rental and sales book sec tion of the Co-op, Miss Margret Kirkland reports that she is having the same trouble in getting orders filled. A large order from the Mod ern Library has just arrived, how ever, and other shipments are ex pected in the near future. The new Grasse River bridge of the Massena Terminal railroad at Massensfc; N. Y., is the world’s first aluminum bridge. Undaunted Frosh Respond To Plea; Bonfire Pile Rebuilt There's no doubt about it. The Glass of '50 has what it takes. After taking a severe setback when unknown parties premature ly fired their bonfire last Tuesday night, the freshman class has re built the combustible tower to even greater proportions than expected. Chairman George Alexander is sued a rush call to all the living or ganizations immediately following the premature fire, and almost im mediately inflammable material began to appear out on the Amazon flats. Every truck and vehicle that could be obtained were put into ser vice rounding up bonfire material. In a scant two days the freshmen in a well organized plan have scoured Eugene and the surround ing countryside looking for mate rial that will make this 1946 Home coming bonfire the “biggest, bright est and hottest” in the history of this time old tradition. The spirit in which they go about their job is noticed by the old GI’s who were here in '40 and '41, and the only way we can describe them is “eager . . The final touches will be added today ... the last load of wood scrap, the last tire . . . (circa. 1925) will be thrown in place. When the noise parade steam whistles its way to the bonfire site, ‘ the freshmen take over with their torches. For the new, returned, or old grads that are coming back to Oregon for the first time in many years, the freshman bonfire is a must. It just isn’t Homecoming without it.

The pamphlet, “Basic Factors Re lating to the Financial Problems of the City of Portland,” was compiled by the bureaus of that city and of the Oregon campus at the request of Portland’s Mayor Earl Riley. This project, conducted by Her man Kehrli, director of the bureau, shows the trend of expenditures and statistics at the close of each five year period. It is of interest to the cities of pregon in their city plan ning and is indicative of the work carried on by this bureau. The local bureau is located in Fenton hall and maintains a li brary of pamphlets, maps and oth er datum useful to majors in politi cal and social sciences and archi tecture. Also of interest to these students is the work being done by Deane Seeger, Eugene city manager, and the committee of city managers in regard to rural zoning, an extensive survey of the thickly populated counties of Oregon.
