Various Fall Protests Keep Campus Sizzling By Ken Metzler At a time when most students settle down to do their term’s studying, many have found time to circulate a quick petition or dash off a letter protesting one thing or another. From a news standpoint the term started quietly enough. .There was little more than the customary “John Smith, profes Activity? Bond Sure To Be There By HELEN JACKSON If you happen to be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing you may be the focus of attention for the camera lens of Deane Bond, assistant photograph er at the University photographic bureau, who covers the campus for pictures of unusual events and ac tivities. Located in the center of the campus in the basement of John son Hall, the bureau office is adorned with pictures of campus celebrities and activities, examples of the work done by Manager A. B. French and Bond. TRANSITION PERIOD According to Bond this is a transitional period for the bureau from a minor department to a vital part of campus affairs. The photographic bureau was founded in the fall of 1938 under the direction of J. Warren Teeter to do photographic work for the various schools and departments of the University. Since this time the Bureau has grown to include many more phases of photography and has increased in size to require two regular employees as well as part-time help. “Anything photographic that anyone wants” seems to be the motto of the Bureau, which works for the University News Bureau in relaying pictorial events to Port land and other state newspapers. DEPARTMENT DOINGS Taking pictures of the happen ings in the departments takes up much of the time of Bond and French, who have recently com pleted pictures of the art exhibit Shown in the art school last month. Application photos, house dance shots, athletic publicity, group pic tures and spot shots of current happenings are just a few of the many services of the Photographic Bureau. All Oregano, photos ex cept individual pictures are han dled in this department as well as campus pictures for the Old Ore gon.

First deferred living was be ing protested. Then it was food at the Veterans’ Commons, followed closely by the PE ouster protest, and finally—the weather. INVESTIGATION TO COME Investigation has been promised in most cases by faculty or student groups. Even the weatherman has promised to investigate the weath er situation—when a committee can be found, or created, to which the protest letter can be referred. It was Nov. 18 when the first big news was made. A number of fra ternities and at least two sororities erected signs with a “can the de ferred living plan” theme on that Friday of the Homecoming week end. The next day saw an alumni com mittee appointed to investigate the "plan.” A rumored card 9tunt, also on the “can the plan" theme, was apparently arranged for but failed to materialize at the Homecoming game. It has since been known as the mysterious “card stunt No. 6.” NINE TO STUDY PLAN Latest development on deferred living was the recent appointment by ASUO President Art Johnson of a nine-man committee to study the plan. Then, on Nov. 24, the Portland papers received a letter signed by 397 residents of the Vets' Dorms charging the food at Veterans’ Commons is “sometimes inedible” and generally of poor quality. At last report some improve ments have been made and food of ficials have promised investiga tion. PE DRAWS FIRE Next the School of Health and Physical Education was under at tack by five girls majoring in the school who claimed they were un justly ousted from the school be-1 cause their aired their criticisms j of the school. A meeting of the five girls and other interested PE majors held on Friday last week resulted in a con ference with President Harry K. Newburn. Mr. Newburn comment ed that their attitude seemed prop er and that apparently everything had been straightened out to their satisfaction. Four representatives of the PE group conferred with R. W. Leigh ton, dean of the PE school. They told him that the ousted majors would meet the specifications set forth by the school. Leighton said that was all the school asked. EVEN WEATHER GETS IT Finally, last week, the weather came under fire. An open letter, signed by 37 students was received by the Weather Bureau last Thurs day. Harlan Rinard, head of the bu reau, promised action. And students got action. The day after the letter was re ceived. the weather fulfilled all the recommendations put forth in the letter—sunshine at least 72 per cent of the time and a full moon in the evening. The only trouble was that the moonlight evenings caused the tem perature's descent to a very low 28 degrees. So the Weather Bureau did what they thought best. They produced rain and higher temperatures.
