Veteran Advising System Revamped
Law Grads
Take Exams
A seven and one-half year record
of perfect passage was again put
to a test when sixteen graduates
and one special student of the class
of 1947 took the Oregon state bar
examination.
Orlando John Hollis, dean of the
University law school, refers to the
time element of the record as
being seven and one-half years be
cause of a student from Oregon
who passed the special examina
tion for veterans given earlier this
year. Normally the two days of
tents are given only once a year in
July.
Whether or not the record was
broken this time will not be known
until about the first of September,
when the results of the examin
ation will be announced.
Of the 60 taking this year’s ex
amination, students from the Uni
versity law school include:
Doctors of jurisprudence: Wil
liam F. Bernard, Alva A. Gran
quist, Gerald Norville, and Nor
man J. Wiener.
Bachelors of Laws: Robert D.
Garmichel, Gene B. Conklin, Ray
mond C. Coulter, Dale E. Helikson,
Loren S. James, Paul J. Jolma,
Roland K. Rodman, Elmer B. Sahl
strom, Thomas C. Stacer, Donald
C* Walker, Joseph F. Walker, and
Rolliu R. Wood.
Murray D. Agate took the ex
amination as a special student
upon the certification of Dean Hol
lis because of difficulty in obtain
ing his transcript from a former
school in England.
Science Ph.D.

Dr. Armin H. Gropp, the first
science major to receive his Ph.D.
at Oregon since the reestablish
ment of science at the University
ifi Eugene, has been appointed in
structor of chemistry at the Uni

Dr. Gropp is presently repre
senting the University of Oregon
at a conference on corrosion at
Colby junior college in New
'Hampshire under the chairman
ship of Dr. Karl T. Compton, presi
dent of the Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology.
Dr. Gropp, a Eugene resident,
received his baccalaureate and
master’s degrees at Oregon and
was granted his doctor of philo
sophy degree with honors here in
June. He also attended the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley for
one year, where he did special re
search. His major fied was physi
cal chemistry and his minor or
ganic chemistry.
He is a member of Phi Beta
Kappa, liberal arts and science
honorary, and Sigma Xi, science
honorary. He was awarded the
Sigma Xi graduate research prize
by the Oregon chapter for the
l most outstanding piece of student

I Gropp’s doctoral thesis dealt with
the polarographic reduction of
methyl and ethyl radicals of qua
ternary ammonium salts.
1250 Taking Courses
Nearly 1250 World War II veter
ans in Oregon are now taking cor
respondence courses under the
G t. bill, Thomas Karnes, Veter
ans Administration training officer
iu this area, has reported.
NEW MAN, NEW JOB, NEW PEACE
James D. Kline, new assistant registrar in charge of veterans’ affairs,
arrived on the campus July 14 just in time to move into his new quar
ters in Emerald hall.
New Vet Adviser Finds
Webfoots Well Adjusted
Veteran students at the University ot Oregon seem better
adjusted to the school situation and are more satisfied than
those in larger schools where “sheer weight of numbers makes
it difficult to handle veterans’ affairs efficiently,” in the opin
ion of James 13. Kline, new assistant registrar in charge of
veterans’ affairs. Mr. Kline arrived on the campus last week
to till the newly-created position
A native of Minnesota, and an
ardent camper and fisherman, Mr.
Kline is enthusiastic about making
Oregon his home. He hopes to find
time to do some fishing and hik
ing, and is particularly interested
in visiting the mountain rivers,
“camping and just absorbing the
mountain scenery.”
The new assistant registrar was
pleasantly surprised to find the VA
setup here so well organized and
capably staffed.
No Change Planned
“There is a remarkable unity
among the faculty, veterans de
partment, and student body,” he
finds, and says he plans no changes
in the veterans offices here, save
those already underway.
During the war he worked in
military intelligence and language
programs. “I am pleased with the
variety of language courses of
fered here,” he says. “It shows an
awareness of the problems of the
Far East—a field sometimes neg
lected in many universities.”
Formerly in the bureau of vet
eran affairs at the University of
Minnesota, he did research on rea
sons why veterans often change
courses or leave school. He is the
author of “A University Meets the
Veteran’s Needs,” an educational
record published by the American
Council on Education. Additional
articles under his by-line will be
released this fall.
Got M.A. in June
His educational background in
cludes a record of graduate work
in German history and educational
phyehology. He received his mas
ters degree in June from the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
Mrs. Kline and two children will
join him here in August, and they
will live in an Agate street pre
fab. Admitting that life in a pre
fab will doubtless present problems.
he reports, however, that “Pro
gress in housing and building here
compares favorably with other
schools in the country.”
Service Still
Placing Grads
The University of Oregon grad
uate placement service still is
doing business, Dean of Personnel
Karl W. Onthank disclosed re
cently. He urged that graduates de
siring placement report imme
diately to fill out application
forms.
The office is in Room 6 of
Friendly hall. Hours are 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. daily and 8 a.m. to 12 noon
Saturdays.
Prospects look good, Dean On
thank reported. Among them are
sales positions with the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company and the
Eugene office of the Zellerbach
Paper company.
Goodyear will place men in Port
land, San Francisco, or Los
Angeles.
The placement service also has
received advanced information on
the college training program
newly inaugurated by the Ford
Motor company. Additional mater
ial on this program is expected
soon, word from the placement
service revealed.
Meter Funds Granted
D. F. Swinehart, assistant pro
fessor of chemistry, has received a
grant from Sigma Xi, national
science honorary, to purchase a
pH meter. This meter is an elec
tronic device used for determining
the acidity of solutions. Mr. Swine
hart applied for the grant in April.
Assistant Registrar Added
To Handle G.I. Problems
Veterans affairs at the University will come under the
Registrar's office this fall, and James D. Kline, new assistant
registrar, will direct the program., according to Registrar
C. E. Avery.
Mr. Kline, who arrived on the campus this summer, will
have offices in Emerald hall. He has served recently as assis
tant to the director of veterans
affairs at the University of Min
nesota, received his baccalaureate
degree there, and did special work
at the Imperial University of
Tokyo, Japan; at the University of
Berlin, Germany; and at the Uni
versity of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Minnesota granted his master’s
degree in 1947.
An extensive traveller, Mr.
Kline made trips through China,
Korea, Japan, Great Britain, and
Germany on scholarships, and in
1937 was in charge of a Euro
pean tour for students.
Honoraries in which the new
director holds membership include
Alpha Alpha Psi, language and
literary honorary; Pi Alpha Theta,
national history honorary; Psi
Chi, psychology honorary; and
American College Personnel asso
ciation.
Important as part of the ser

service now offered by the govern
ment to veterans to take care of

A fee of $5 will be required for
the preliminary interview, tests
and final interview.
