Of President Newburn
(See Also Story Page 8)
EUGENE, Jan. 7—(AP)—An
authoritative source said today
that the University of Oregon
athletic board members had of
fered their resignations to Presi
dent Harry K. Newburn in a move
to clear the way for an athletic
director set-up which they had
recommended.
Earlier it had been reported
that Newburn asked for the res
ignations. This was incorrect, the
source, who asked not to be
named, said. He said the board
initiated the action and it was ex
pected that on Newburn’s return
to the campus the resignations
* would be accepted and the iden
tity of the athletic director be
made known.
Under the proposal the athletic
director and the president would
be in complete charge of the ath
letic program.
Dr. E. M. Pallett, assistant to the
president and chairman of the ath
letic board, would not confirm or
deny statements contained in the
above Associated Press release.
When interviewed Tuesday after
noon, Dr. Pallett said that any state
ments concerning actions of the
board would be released by the
president’s office and that mem
bers of the board had agreed some

'Bobbysox' Hints
The tall, blonde girl entered a
University high school class room
and sat down in a back seat. Ob
viously she knew no one in the
room.
Soon in bounced a chubby jun
ior, fell into a seat across the
aisle from the newcomer, scanned
her quickly, then shifting her
spearmint, grinned an acknowl
edgment. “What’s your name?”
she asked. Titles were exchanged.
Then the class began, with the
junior whispering interrogations
and helpful hints on how to get
along with the teacher.
The bell rang and the blonde
girl headed down the hall. The
chubby teen-ager pursued, asking
why she was going that way, and
maybe they had a class together
next period.
“Oh, I’m going down to the su
pervisor’s desk for more instruc
tions,” replied the blonde girl.
“I’m a student teacher.”
“My gosh,” the junior screamed,
assuming the complexion of a
poinsetta, “I thought you were a
new student.”

S. A. Tour Success
Recently completing his first con
cert tour of South America, the
famed cellist is now touring the
United States. Mr. Schuster’s tour
in South America was very success
ful, and in each of his forty appear
ances he was praised highly by the
public and the press.
In 1934 Schuster came to New
York where he made his debut at
Town Hall. After his debut he re
ceived an invitation to become the
solo cellist of the New York Phil
harmonic symphany society. He re
signed two years ago when the in
creasing demand for his appearance
all over the country brought him
to the decision to devote all his time
to a conceit career.
