VOLUME' XLVIII Number 58 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1947 Disabled Vets May Receive More Training A Veterans under Public Bill 16, who were seriously disabled in the war, now have an opportunity to take training in addition to the us ual four years allotted by the VA. day. Veterans so severely disabled that no course of training will re store them to employability in four years, and those who lose time in their courses because of health or other personal circumstances, will be helped by the new ruling, Earl E. Boushey, chief of the veterans’ administration center explained, j Provision also has been made for disabled veterans whho started pre professional courses before the war and who have since proved their suitability for their chosen profes sion, but who still must have more than four years to prepare for it. The VA official pointed out, how ever, that the plan for added train ing does not apply to any veterans in training under the G. I. bill, which bases eligibility on their length of service up to a maximum of 48 months of training. Most dis abled veterans also will remain within the limit of four years of training, Boushey advised. Training in excess of four years will be given only the severely dis abled in school, except in unusual instances of job training. The VA office in the physical education building has further details for in quiring veterans.

Letterman's Pulse Sets Low Record George Moorhead, sophomore in architecture, baffled the nurse on duty at the infirmary Wed nesday because his pulse was slow. He insisted that this was because he is a letterman and athletics have slowed his pulse. Maybe so—but most people us ually feel a quickening of heart when someone holds their hand.

Several of the paintings have / been exhibited previously at the Portland art museum in a one-man show in November, 1946. The-, paintings, both landscape and portraits, represent work of McCosh bx from J.943 to 1946. In cluded in ms-fstvorite subjects are the mill race and the area around the Anchorage and these two sub jects figure in the exhibit. One land scape is entitled “Mill Race’’ and [another is called “Anchorage Back water.” Also of local interest are I‘'Villard Hall” and another land scape entitled “Coburg and Fair mount Hills.” One of the more impressive paint ings is of a woman seemingly in, deep meditation seated at a tabic. It is entitled “Red Vest.’’ McCosh came to the University of Oregon art school in 1934, gradu ating from the Art Institute of Chi cago. He also made a tour to Eur ope after his graduation from the Chicago school. Previous exhibits of Professor McCosh’s include Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Carnegie Institute, Whitney Museum of American Art and the Art Institute of Chicago annuals. He also painted the murals for the post office at Kelso, Washing ton, and at the department of the interior building, Washington, D. C. During July and August of 1946 Professor McCosh attended the Oqunquit summer colony of the School of Artists in Chicago. “Since he attended the summer colony he has more vigorous use of color rath er than using color for tonal har mony,” said W. S. Baldinger, chair man of the exhibit committee and associate professor of art. Ex-Skull, Dagger Man Named to Fill Position By JUNE GOETZE Hal Brevig, recent appointee to the executive council, is no new comer to Oregon's student govern ment. In 1943, until he left the campus with one of the University enlisted reserve corps groups, Brevig was sophomore represen tative on the executive council. That same year he was secretary of Skull and Dagger, sophomore men's honorary, and the previous year had been a member of the Student Union building commit tee and the symposium. Plugs Union “I’m glad to see that definite progress is now being made in col lecting funds for the student union building,” he said in an interview yesterday, “since the students have been wanting it for such a long time.” After he left the University, Brevig was sent to North Central college in Naperville, Illinois, to study engineering in preparation for his work in the armored infan try. “Naperville might be compared with Oswego as another surburban town, for it was just outside Chi cago,” he said. Fun, He Says Although rather reluctant to relate any of his experiences in the army, Brevig inentioned that “we had a lot of fun in the Battle of the Bulge” and added that he had been in England, France, Germany, and Czechoslovakia. Among the other “lively” points in his overseas experience were the battle at Bastogne, the crossing of the Rhine, and the fall of the Ruhr. His philosophy about the status of veterans is that “It was just an accident that some of us went in (Please turn to page six) Mu Phi to Present Three Air Shows In the first meeting of winter term in the YMCA Tuesday eve ning, Mu Phi Epsilon, national wom en’s professional music sorority, formulated plans for the sponsor ship of three of the regular music school radio programs.

Grade Distribution Set for Mac Court New System, Cards Introduced; Students in Alphabetical Groups By LEONARD BERGSTROM Grades will be distributed Friday in McArthur court, between 3 p.m, and 5:30 p.m., according to an announcement by C, E. Avery, Univer sity registrar, Thursday. Students whose surnames begin with letters falling within the A-I group may pick up their grades at tables set up on the east balcony; J-Z group at the tables on the west balcony. The registrar said adequate personnel will be available to handle the distribution. It will not be necessary for students to cut classes in order to be.there soon enough to get their grades, he said. SMITH JOHN C J 111 SMITH JOHN C GEO 108 SMITH JOHN C RHT 112 SMITH JOHN C HST 201 SMITH JOHN B ENG 101 12 2 1 3 3 3 12 4 2 6 6 9 27 2.25 An added feature to the new system of grade distribution will be the new form of report card, an example of which appears above. The first entry on the-left of the card will be the name of the student followed by the grade for the course, the department under which the course is listed, the number of the course, the number of hours, and the grade points. The figure below the last name is the total number of hours for which the student is registered and includes those which may be “Incomplete.” The next figure on the same line indicates the total hours used in com puting the GPA, excluding incompletes. This is followed by the total grade points, underneath which is given the GPA. Grades to be used are: A—exceptional accomplishment: B—superior; C—average; D—inferior; F—failed; I—satisfactory but incomplete; P—passing («o-grade course); N—not passing (no-grade course). On some cards, in the lower left corner, may appear the words “Warning” or “Low Grade Warning.” “Warning” indicates that the student is subject to probation because of work below required standards. “Low Grade Warning” means that the grades are such that improvement during the coming term is required in order to remain in good standing. This low grade warning is not disqualifying but, according to Mr. Avery, should urge the student to “contact the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women immediately in order to obtain the best advice and help to pull through.” Newman Club Hop To Start Activities Newman club activities for win ter term will officially open Fri day night with a dance in Ger linger hall. Proceeds from the dance will fi nance club activities for the com ing term. An even larger crowd than the 200 of last fall is expected to attend, Donna O’Brien, general chairman announced.

Placement Service Asks Registration Students graduating- in March, and June of this year are urged to register early with the Univer sity graduate placement service in room 6, Friendly, and to file with the placement service letters of recommendation from their in structors, or from former employ ers, Dean Karl W. Onthank, di rector of the placement service, announced yesterday. Appointments are already being made by the placement service with business firms which will send personnel managers to the Uni versity to interview graduating students during the latter part of the winter term and early spring term fr the purpose of employing suitable applicants. Students whose applicants are in at the time when the first inter views are arranged with prospec tive employers will have a con siderable advantage over those who wait until later in the year when the competition for job open enings is generally greater, On thank said. Early registrants will also have a better selection of openings to pick from, he added.
