Appreciation to Fire-Fighters Expressed by Forest Supervisor Appreciation was expressed to the University students who worked on the firelines for help in combatting recent McKenzie Pass forest blazes by J. R. Bruckart, Willamette National Forest Super visor, Wednesday. Vergil S. Fogdall, dean of men, received the letter to that effect. CALL FOR FIRE FIGHTERS URGENT A portion of the letter stated, “We had an urgent call to supply several bus loads of fire-fighters on very short notice and it is doubtful whether we could have met our deadline had it not been for this effort on your part.” Fogdall contacted University living organizations and asked for volunteers shortly after receiving a call from Willamette National Forest headquarters the night of Sept. 26. STUDENTS ABOVE AVERAGE IN SCHOLARSHIP Students contacted were above average in scholarship so abs ence from classes for this emergency should not have been seriously harmful to their University work,” Fogdall pointed out. Approximately 60 students worked with other fire-fighters to suppress two fires tn the McKenzie Bridge area that covered close to 1500 acres of timber. Police Checking Co-op Suspect; Hearing Slated Requesting a preliminary hear ing, James Cameron, suspect in the University Co-op burglary case, will . appear before the District Court tomorrow.

Upon questioning, Cameron has admitted the Co-op entry and stealing two typewriters from the University of Washington, Crase added. The typewriters and other booty were found Wednesday in the car Cameron had been driving. Judge Andersen said the charge will be “burglary, not in a dwell ing.” Police are still working to trace other items found in the car.

Thirteen other student living or ganizations turned in completed reports, with a total of $164 in contributions. The student cam paign was to end Thursday.
