VOLUME XLIX _ UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE SATURDAY- JANUARY 17. 1948 NUMBER (6
Student's
Enrollment
Cancelled
Willful Concealment
Of Previous Training
Charged as Fraud
Fraudulent registration fall term
brought about cancellation of a
University student’s registration
yesterday. Officials in the regis
trar’s office had learned that he
had had previous college training
which he attempted to conceal
from University authorities.
Assistant Registrar James D.
Kline emphasized that the action
was “administrative” rather than
“disciplinary” and that the stu
dent is still free to enter any other
college which will accept his prior
work. Credits earned at the Uni
versity fall term will not be trans
ferred from the University of Ore
gon.
Kline said the student had at
tended Reed college and Oregon
State college prior to joining the
army. After his discharge he en
rolled in the University of Oregon
without admitting his previous col
lege training, in which his grades
had been too low to permit his ac
ceptance by the University.
Credits Needed "
The deception was discovered,
Kline reported, when the student
tried to get the credits accepted so
he could qualify for the varsity
swimming team.
Galling it a “black and white
case of definite and deliberate fal
sification,” Kline said the regis
trar’s office ha‘d no choice but to
cancel the student’s registration.
The case was not referred to the
office of the dean of men.
Kline said no prejudice on “mo
ral grounds” would be held against
the student should he later wish to
return to the University. He also
said he would help him get a new
start in any institution which would
accept him with the low grades he
•earned before entering the army.
subsistence Loss ’
As for repaying government sub
sistence and loss of further veter
ans benefits, Kline said it was up
to the veterans administration, but
that he felt the VA “would not get
harsh.”
Should the student return to the
University, Kline said he could
conceivably petition to have the
hours he took fall term counted as
valid, but that he would have first
to qualify for admission to the Uni
versity.
Orides to Gather
Trudi Penny, president of Orides,
announced yesterday that the time
of their meeting Monday was
changed to 7 p.m.
Next Lecturer
Herbert Koldridge

To Give Views
On Militarism
Views against compulsory mili

Brigadier General Herbert C. Hol
dridge, retired, when he delivers a
comprehensive survey of the new
American militarism Thursday at
7:30 p.m. in room 3 of Fenton hall.
The speech is the first of the
winter term lectures sponsored by
the educational activities board.
General Hildridge is, at present,
co-chairman of the armed forces
committee of the American Veter
ans committee.
Graduated from West Point in
1917, Holdridge served in the caval
ry, quartermaster corps, and ad
jutant general’s department dur
ing World War I, both in the states
and in France.
During the second world war
Holdridge served as plans and
training officers in the office of the
adjutant general, war department.
He initiated and established on an
operating basis the psychological
testing program, micro-filming of
records, and the army ‘‘machine
records” system of personnel ac
coounting.
In addition, the general estab
lished the adjutant general's school,
Fort Washington, Maryland, the
army administration schools locat

Schools’ Status Changed
Law, Education, Journalism Majors
Restricted to Upper Division Students
Law Prerequisites to Include
Three Years of Background
Fffeclive with 1949 first year law students,
new standards of three years of pre-law and
138 hours must be met for admission. Of these
hours. 125 must be solid hours. Freshmen this
1948-49 Freshmen to See
Revised Curricula in Effect
Starting fall term, 1948-49, the status of the
schools of education and journalism will be
changed to the upper-division level, with no
majors admitted until they have earned junior
yrar wm inus neea twc additional
years of pre-law.
Dean Orlando J. Hollis yesterday'
expressed the belief that the move
would give the law school "stu
dents a greater maturity and
richer cultural background.”
A standard 2-point cumulative
G.P.A. will be required, along with
36 hours in social science. In prac
tice, most entering law students
have taken three years of pre-law,
despite the minimum requirement
of only two.
Many leading schools already
follow this system, which, accord
ing to Holiis, has been under con
sideration for some years. It was
felt to be inadvisable due to the
war and to the great number of
returning veterans, who might
have been handicapped by the ad
ditional requirements.
The lav/ school faculty has voted
to consider any individual case in
volving someone who might be
hurt by this new ruling.
Record Concerts
Begin Sunday
Record concerts in the library
browsing room, sponsored by the
Mu Phi Epsilon actives, will begin

Meeting Draws
Chemist Group
Staff members and graduate stu
dents of the University chemistry
department left Eugene Thursday
afternoon to attend a meeting
Friday of the Pacific Coast section
of the technical association of the
pulp and paper industry at Camas,
Washington.
Attending from the University
are the following: Dr. A. H. Kunz,
head of the chemistry department;
Dr. Francis J. Reithel, Donald F.
Swinehart, and Robert B. Dean, all
assistant professors of chemistry;
Gilbert Hunt, Truman Teeter, and

dents in the chemistry depart
ment.

ceruncaies, according to Presi-,
dent Harry K. Ncwburn. Students
in lower-division will be classed
as liberal aits majors.
The move is in keeping with a
general trend throughout the
country. Its purpose is to broaden
the liberal arts background of
students in these schools.
In journalism, pre-journalism
students will be classed as liberal
arts majors for their freshman and
sophomore years, but will be as
signed advisers in the journalism
school.
Freshmen now in school will be
eligible for admission to the jour
nalism school upon making their
junior certificates. New students
will need a cumulative G.P.A. of
2.25 at the end of their sophomore
year. Present lower-division,
courses will be classified as pre
journalism.
In education, there are no lower
division courses, so no changes in
the curriculum will be necessary.
Advisers assigned to lower-division,
students intending to major in ed
ucation will be from the college of
liberal arts.
The change, according to P.B.
Jacobson, dean of the school of
education, will provide opportunity
for prospective teachers to get'
background in liberal arts. Ho
pointed out that many will be able
to major in the subject matter
they wish to make their specialty
in teaching.
The action in both of the schools
was made upon the recommenda
tion of the faculties.
New Telescope
Exoected Soon
■
A fifteen-inch reflecting ();lo*
scope for use in astronomy induc
tion in the University is expected
to arrive soon, according to Dr.
A. E. Caswell, head of department
of physics in the university.
The $2,500 telescope was paid
for entirely from private dona
tions, and will be housed' in tem
porary quarters pending comple
tion of the new science building.
Built by J. W. Fecker and Co.,
Pittsburgh, Pa., the new instru
ment is designed for use in either
the Newtonian purpose, in which
the light is reflected twice the
length of the telescope, or for Cas
sagrainian, in which the light la
reflected three times the length.
