To Speak
In Eugene
Presidential Hopeful
Sets Assembly Talk
After Press Confab
By JIM WALLACE
Harold E. Stassen, candidate for
Republican nomination for presi
dent, will speak at McArthur court
February 21. The former governor
„ of Minnesota is coming to Eugene
as a featured speaker of the Ore
gon Press conference at the school
* of journalism.
Stassen, presidential choice of
„ Oregon students in a recent poll, is
also receiving much support as
presidential nominee from midwest
* areas and from international back
ers in the East. He is an ardent in
ternationalist, having favored such
a policy even before Roosevelt did.
Like Senator Wayne L. Morse
* he believes that the United States
must yield some of its national sov
erignty to a United Nations group
if reaL world peace is to be
achieved. Despite his stands, neith
. er the groups on the extreme right
political and left dislike and dis
trust him, even in his home state.
Young Governor
According to John Gunther,
„ Stassen believes in three things:
himself, world peace, and the peo
ple—if they are given an even
- break.
He was born on a small farm
near St. Paul in 1907, was gradu
ated from the University of Min
. nesota, and in 1930 was elected to
his first public office, county at
torney in Dakota county, Minne
* sota. His activities there soon
brought him state-wide recogni
tion and in 1938 he was elected
governor of the state at the age of
31.
. Stassen served three terms as
governor, then resigned to enter
the navy in 1943. He became as
‘ sistant chief of staff to Admiral
Halsey and rose to the rank of cap
„ tain before his discharge in 1945.
Oregano Staff Lines Up
All those Oregana staff mem
bers who have not had their pic
„ tures taken, will meet at 4 p.m. in
front of the art museum to have
their pictures taken for the Ore

Approved
By Board
Action Informal,
Final Passage
Said 'Assured'
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 26—
(UP)—Edgar Smith, president of
the state board of higher educa
tion, said tonight that the board
has approved a $24,500,000 build
ing program of which $12,000,000
in new construction was listed as
“emergency.”
Smith said the board's new pro
gram was adopted informally at
a meeting here today and will be
voted on formally tomorrow
“with passage assured.”
The program will be placed be
fore Gov. John H. Hall immedi
ately, he said.
Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge, chairman
of the 'building committee, pre
sented the new program. He de
clared that a $5,000,000 previous
program, provided by the legisla
ture and voted by the people was
inadequate because of increased
buildmg costs and greater needs
than were anticipated.
Smith said the board’s emer
gency program represents what
is needed “right now.” All of the
state’s higher institutions share
in proposed allocations.
Emergency needs for the Uni
versity of Oregon were listed as
$3,500,000; Oregon State College
$5,000,000; medical and dental
schools $2,500,000; Oregon Col
lege of education $300,000; South
ern Oregon College of Education
$400,000 and Eastern Oregon Col
lege of Education $300,000.

one guitarist, and his orchestra
* will make their first appearance
on the University campus at the
Military Ball to be sponsored by
Scabbard and Blade, February 7.
The 1948 Military Ball is the
first post-war all-campus dance
. to be sponsored by the military
honorary. Admission will be $2.70
per couple.
Most unique feature of Alvino
Rey’s new orchestra is its “Twin
Brass" section. “Twin Brass” is
what he calls his 10-man brass
section. The band's six trumpets
- and four trombones are divided
... into different sections which gives
something new in tonal effects to
the arrangements.
Leading music critics, who
* dubbed the band’s initial rise to
fame as “the most rapid in the
danceband history,” attribute the
group's success to its distinctive
style which is largely due to Al
vino’s masterful guitar playing.
Acknowledged as the nation's
number one intrumentalist on any
kind of a guitar, Rey is chiefly
noted for his manipulation of the
double keyboard electric guitar.

Storm Causes
Much Damage
Over $100 worth of damages
were caused by Sunday’s wind
storm, I. I. Wright, superintendent
of the campus physical plant, dis
closed yesterday.
Most of the total cost, however,
he said, was paid for the labor nec
essary to remove the debris.
East of Deady hall a large fi
tree, older than the campus, was
uprooted. By Monday, Wright said,
most of it had been removed, cut
up, and hauled to the dump to burn.
Several limbs were ripped off oth
er trees.
Sunday’s wind storm came from
the northeast, with the gale reach
ing a peak velocity of 21 miles an
hour. Average speed was 13 miles.
Last extensive wind storm on the
campus, Wright recalled, although
not so serious, occurred on New
| Year's day, 1948.
