Sr. Packer Out (Continued jrotn page one) the office.” The interim chancellor headed the Journalism department at Ore gon State College when the state system of higher education was organized. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, and re ceived his Doctor of Education de gree in 1938 at Stanford Univer sity. Former Newsman Before joining the Oregon State faculty, Byrne did newspaper work and was extension editor at Pen nsylvania State college and head of the department of journalism at South Dakota State college. He will continue to act as board secretary and will assist the board in choosing a man to replace Pack er. He had declined “for personal reasons” to accept the permanent position. Packer’s active duties ended September 13. He is leaving Wash ington, D. C., for Paraguay about October 1. Former Iowa Dean Former dean of the University of Iowa college of education, Pack !£^as appointed Oregon’s chancel lijf in August, 1946, on the retire ment of Dr. Frederick M. Hunter. At his farewell press conference, Dr. Packer answered questions expressing the following opinions about the Oregon system of high er education: Schools and functions at the several institutions should not be duplicated. The chancellor position is a necessary part of the state board of higher education. Portland School Possible A four-year college at Portland would be very expensive, but it is probably that something along the line of a four-year school will develop there. The issue of moving the chancel lor’s office from Eugene to Albany or some “neutral ground” is de finitely “dead”. Elementary teacher training should not be offered at the Uni versity or Oregon State College, and the three colleges of educa tion should not be made into four year, degree-granting institutions. Ex- Geologist Dies in Eugene Dr. Warren DuPre Smith, form er head of the department of geo logy and georgraphy, died this summer at his home in Eugene. Dr. Smith had been on the staff of JUi-3 university as head of the geoljgy and geography depart ment since 1914. He was retired to emeritus status in 1947.

Registrar Explains Procedure (Continued from page one) will make lines outside the doors unnecessary, Constance said. Today from 4 until 6 p. m., all day tomorrow and all day Tuesday new students will take entrtnee examinations and pick up registra tion material. Each new student will receive specific instructions what to do and when to do it with his regis tration material. At 8 p. m. Wednesday old stu dents will begin picking up regis tration material in the student union ballroom and start the pro cedure, which is clearly outlined in the class-schedule booklet. Location is the only major change in registration procedure this year, Constance said earlier this week. Another slight change is that students will turn in most of their cards to the registrar’s clerk when they have payed fees. All cards were formerly left with the cashier. Six Steps Listed Six major steps of registration are listed on the back side of the registration card, and can be fol lowed as soon as the material is picked up at the student union. Constance stressed the import ance of every student going in the correct entrance to the union ball room. The west, upstairs entrance from University street is the only one students can use to go through registration lines properly, he em phasized. Each student will have four IBM cards and four ordinary cards to fill out. Veterans and new stu dents will have more, in addition to six class cards. New students and veterans may have as many as 16 cards to fill out and turn in at various places. Registration in the union will end at noon Saturday, but will continue for two more weeks at Emerald Hall. The seven complete steps include: 1. Pick up material at Erb Mem orial ballroom. 2. See advisor and buitd class program. 3. Enroll in classes at the indi vidula departments. Veterans must check with the veterans desk at the student union building. 4. Check with the student affairs clerk in the union ballroom. Seve ral cards which have been filled out will be taken at this point. 5. Obtain fee assessment from the registrar clerks in the union. They will tell you how much you will have to pay to go to school this fall. 6. Pay fee to cashier (also in the union), who will take more cards from you. 7. File with the registrar clerks. Any cards you have left at this point will be taken by them. Any veterans who have been graduated and plan to continue in the University on a graduate basis must secure a new certifi cate of eligibility. Veterans in this position should contact their near est veterans administration office and request form No. 7-1905e. Veterans must be sure to check with the vets’ counter between steps 3 and 4. Otherwise, their registration proceedure is the same as that for other students. Any vets whose eligibility is ex piring during fall term will be entered into school wTith the VA, but will be asked to pay cash for their tuition and books. The money then will be refunded when the VA indicates that the vet has enough eligibility to cover him'for fall term. If a vet has enough eligibility to carry him through Nov. 3, the VA will carry him through the whole term. A full lod for vets on the G. I. Bill and under Oregon state aid will be considered 12 or more hours. This means that a vet can not receive government aid under these bills if he carries less than 12 term hours. Application for state aid will not be taken before Oct. 2, accord ing to Constance. President Newburn In Esquire Story Esquire magazine’s September “Back to Campus” fashion sup plement, pictures President Harry K. Newburn as an outstanding ex ample of a young man who has achieved success in his chosen field. President Newburn is pictured in the twelve-page supplement fea turing “Young Men at the Top.” Tryouts Scheduled For Chord Union Tryouts for the University Choral Union, which will function again this year, will be held Sept. 18-25. Membership is being limited to 200 with men’s voices particularly needed. Two major works will be pre sented at the end of winter term, Mozart’s Requiem and a more modern composition. Directors will be Dean Theodore Kratt and Pro fessor Donald Allton. The Univer sity Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Edmund Cyk ler, will accompany the chorus. Rehearsals will take place in the Music School Auditorium, at 3 p. m. on Tuesdays and Thurs days. The course gives one hour credit. Return of Students Brings Annual Housing Problems As Officials Open Doors Opening of school, and the sud den influx of students to the cam pus, brings the usual problems of student housing. Although the University has specific regulations regarding student living, some ar rangements are being made to handle those students who are al lowed off-campus living. Housing for married students at a rental cost below $70 is in de mand, according to Miss Dolores Ray, University housing secretary. Miss Ray added that a fair sup ply of rooms and apartments for men is available, although more will be needed to handle the de mand. Only junior and senior men and graduate students are permit ted to live in off-campus housing. Miss Ray is taking calls from Eugene property owners who will accommodate students, at her of fice on the second floor of Emerald Hall. Married couples seeking hous ing may contact her. Some in Co-ops Some freshmen women will be living in Women’s Cooperative Houses. Under the university’s new “living-in” plan, freshman women are allowed to live in the co-ops as well as in dormitories. Housing regulations for iqen, re viewed by Ray Hawk, newly ap pointed director of men's affairs are: 1. All lower-division men are ex pected to live in university dormi tories, cooperatives, or fraternity houses. 2. Upper-division men may live off-campus in rooms in private homes, in accordance with univer sity regulations. 3. The university will riot ap prove housing for any un-married undergraduate student in a house, apartment or separate living quart ers. Permission Petitions Special permission petitions should be filled out by students not covered by these regulations. The petitions are available in the office of the director of men’s af fairs. Hawk emphasized that these petitions be filled out immediately because housing checks must be cleared before the student can register. These housing checks go through the office of student af fairs. A complete survey of off-campus housing will be made by Hawk’s office after registration, to check availability of private housing and to see that regulations are being observed.
