UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1946
Committee Votes'?Graduate School
19 ^
PORTLAND, Oct. 21— (AP)— A
committee of the state board of
higher education voted today to es
tablish separate graduate schools
at the University of Oregon and
Oregon State College.
The committee also recommend
ed that many cross-campus direc
torships, now with few functions,
be abolished.
Both recommendations will go be
fore the board tomorrow.
Under the plan the general re
search council would be eliminated,
and its funds transferred to the
graduate schools. At present there
is a single graduate division.
The plan envisions a graduate
dean on each campus. Names sug
gested included Dr. Willibald Weni
ger, vice-dean of the graduate di
vision, for Oregon State, and Dr.
Howard Taylor, head of the Uni
versity psychology department, for
the University. Dr. Taylor said his
appointment would be temporary.
Dr. Olaf Larsell, who was gradu
ate division dean until his recent
resignation, would remain as chair
man of the graduate council at the
medical school, where he is head of
the anatomy department.
The cross-campus directorships
were set up originally to report di
rectly to the state chancellor. When
each institution gained a president,
their functions largely ceased to
exist.
Of 26 of these, S will he retained
at least for a while. They are comp
troller, director of information, di
rector of libraries, dean and direc
tor of general extension, director of
elementary teacher training, dean
of education and director of high
school teacher training, dean and
director of architecture and allied
arts, and dean and director of cre
ative writing and publishing.
Those inter-campus positions
that would be abolished are: dean
and director of medicine and direc
tor of health services, dean and di
rector of pharmacy, dean and direc
tor of forestry, dean of the college
of liberal arts and director of arts
and letters and social science, dean
of the school of science and director
of science, dean and director of en
gineering' and industrial arts, dean
and director of law dean and direc
tor of music, dean and director of
physical education, dean and direc
tor of home economics, dean and
director of business administration,
dean and director of agriculture,

Pygmalion Players Agree
That Dialogue Sparkles
Bill Wood, Don Moss Tell Stage Background;
New York Heaven for Visiting Drama Majors
By JOAN LOCHEAD
“Pygmalion” is sparkling with witty dialogue, agree Bill
Wood and Don Moss, male leads in the George Bernard Shaw
play, to be presented by the Guild Hall players Friday, Oct. 25.
Wood is a junior in drama and comes from Portland. His
blond hair accents his blue eyes, his 5 feet 8 inch height, and his
outstanding personality. During the summer he spent his vaca
tion in New York, which to a drama , . .
major is heaven and even more so i
when you are able to see your favor
ite plays on the stage. This was not
Wood’s first visit to New York.
During his three years in the navy
Tie spent 16 months in the metropo
lis of stage wonders.
Asking Wood more about his
summer he leaned forward to ex
plain with pride that he had been
offered the job of casting director
with Richard Aldrich and Gertrude
Lawrence while working in Dennis,
Massachusetts, in the summer play
ers group but, thinking longingly
of Oregon, he decided to return and
continue his studies. Wood has high
hopes for a reoffer of this job for
next summer.
He has been active on the campus
in different drama groups. Recent
plays he has been in are “My Sister
Eileen” and “Arsenic and Old Lace.”
His show work goes back to his
navy career when he did show work
with the Red Cross. He is hoping for
more plays in the future.
Don Moss, senior in psychology,
will graduate in March. He is hap
piest, he confides, when he is slap
ping on grease paint or mixing a
ginger bread cake. (Eds. note: This
is not for publication.) Moss took
time out this summer to mingle
with stage people in Greenwich Vil
lage and see his favorite stage
plays, one of which was “Annie Get
Your Gun.” On his return trip he
visited the drama department of
Northwestern and the University of
Michigan.
During four years of army life
Ex.-Sgt. Moss saw much of Europe
and in spite of the war managed to
keep fairly close to the stage
through the Army special services.
After graduation from Oregon
Moss is planning on taking a job
with the state department and re
turn to Europe in the spring. “Pyg
malion” is full of George Bernard
Shaw's own ideals and expressive
thoughts and I know we will both
enjoy our parts,” Moss said.
Quiz Forum Planned
An open forum on questions pre
sented at previous meetings will be
held at the Newman club meeting
at the YMCA tonight. Father Al
, bert Rodakowski will preside at the
discussion. ... %

Traffic Barricades
In Operation Today
Blockades on Thirteenth go up today.
Manned temporarily by the campus crew of the physical plant,
barriers will be thrown across Thirteenth at University and
J mrteenth at Kincaid during each,
ten-minute class change.
Culminating a drive by the Em
erald, University officials and the
city of Eugene to alleviate the dan
gerous traffic menace on the cam
pus this year, the first blockades
will halt traffic at 7:50 this morn
ing.
Granted recently by the Eugene
city council, the plan will be under
the supervision of the University.
The blockades will be used during
each ten-minute change from 7:45
a. m. until 5 p. m., Mondays through
Fridays, and from 7:45 until 12 noon
Saturdays.
The barriers, according to D. L.
Lewis, superintendent of the physi
cal plant, will be placed, along with
suitable signs, half way across
Thirteenth at each of the corners.
This will allow vehicles already in
the prohibited area when barriers
go up, a chance to get out, but will
not allow entrance to outside ve
hicles.
