By Norman Anderson The rumor that the University of Oregon is “loaded” with Port landers is only half true. Students from Lane County out number those from Multnomah County by about 27 per cent. On the other hand, there are more students in the University from Portland high schools than from high schools in any other part of the state. (Not so strange, con sidering that Portland’s population almost approximates that of the rest of the state combined.) Figures for the 1949-50 year, in a report from Registrar Clifford E. Constance to the President's office, show that Lane county con tributed 2,193 students while Mult nomah County was second with 1,585. Marion county came in third with 197 students. Gilliam county, at the other end of the scale, staggered up to the wire with six students in the Uni versity, a drop of one over the preceding year when a girl came down to Eugene with the six boys, for a total of seven. Portland high schools contribut ed 266 scholars to the University while Eugene high schools came through with 166. South Ignores University In out of state students, the University was “deluged” with Californians and Washintonians, 440 of the former and 207 of the latter. But parts of the South pre fer to ignore the University com pletely. The states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia sent no one, while Connecticut colleg ians apparently felt that other places could take care of them and no one came to Oregon. Only slightly better than these five states wrere Mississippi. Mary land, Maine and Georgia which let one student go West to Oregon for schooling. Hawaii Enrolls 45 Hawaii, with 45, and Canada with 22, led the world in sending people to Oregon for educations, but Alaska and China sent fail samplings. Strangely enough, Mex ico, closest southern neighbor, sent no one while Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela all managed to send at least one student north. In this matter of “home address,” the figures for Portiana ana Eu gene vary a good deal. Many older students call Eugene “home,” even though giving some place else as also a residence. So in this cata gory, Eugeneans have outnumber ed Portlanders since 1946. Previous to that time, going back to 1940, Portland students led students from all other cities. Looking at it per centage wise, this shows that stu dents coming from Eugene have increased 118 per cent, from Port land 37 per cent. California’s Percent Drops Some people may be interested in knowing that over a 10 year period, the number of students coming from California has drop ped 5 percent, while Washington’s has gone up 138 percent. And as one final note, it should be told that Vanport contributes more transfers than does Oregon State, 133 to 101. Eastern Oregon College beat out the Ashland edu cation school 19-18, but was still tied with the University of Port land which also sent 19 transfers. Willamette, however, with 29, sent down more tansfers than either of those two. KWAX Receives Last FM Equipment for Operation An FM antenna was received at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the radio studios.

Kline, director of veterans' affairs, Tuesday. No accurate check has been made of veterans who are not under any government aid program. A total of 1,281 veterans enroll ed for winter term with Public Law 346 tG. I. Bill 1 accounting for 1,085 of that number. State aid is used by 134 veterans and 62 are receiv ing Public Law 16 (disability) sup port. Kline's figures show a decrease of 179 in the number of vets re ceiving aid, whereas the state aid total was increased by 34 over | fall term. Veterans comprised 40 per cent ! of fall term's male enrollment.
