UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY. APRIL 3. 1947
Three Campus Naval Reserve Units
Formed; Meeting Scheduled Tonight
Plans Now Underway to Enable Members
To Gain New Rates; Drill Pay Allowed
By BOB WALLACE
After a year of half-hearted attempts, a naval reserve unit
i^has finally been formed on the campus.
Credit goes to 1\. E, Kerr Jr., former naval lieutenant com
mander, who has succeeded in organizing three groups, one
surface unit, a communications unit, and an air unit which
is still in the process of organizing.
All persons participating in the weekly drills will be put
on a drill pay status, receiving a
day’s pay for the drills.
Plans are underway for a train
ing program enabling members to
gain new rates. Kerr cited an ex
ample of how a former chief in the
Seabees was able to switch to a
chief aviation machinist by this
system.
A11 former naval veterans in
terested in forming an air group
are urged to attend a meeting to
night at 8 p.m., 101 P.E. build
ing. Plans for the unit will be
explained and temporary officers
will be elected.
Kerr stated that enlisted people,
pilots and ground officers, should
try and attend the meeting. If the
plans can be worked out as hoped,
a transport will come down every
•three weeks to fly personnel to Sand
Point, Seattle, for their regular drill
periods.
An efficient air group cannot be
organized without the support of
the enlisted personnel, Kerr said,
and the trouble in the past has been
the lack of knowledge of advantages
given to them in a reserve air group.

Art Gallery Shows
Oregon Paintings
An art exhibit, featuring the
paintings of Portland artist Carl
Morris, and the sculpture works of
his wife, Hilda Morris, are now be
ing shown at the little art gallery
in the University art school between
2 and 5 p.m. daily.*
Exhibiting a great sense of color,
Morris has interpreted “the lan
guage expressive of the inner ten
sions of man relative to his world.”
This highly-developed sense of col
or is partly attributed to the mois
ture-laden climate of the Northwest
which intensifies natural colors.
The murals in the Eugene post
office were painted by Morris in
1941.
His wife, the former Hilda
Deutseh, worked under Morris when
he headed the Spokane art center in
1939 and 1940.
