versity in 1915. und as a Rhodes

/Literature degree from Oxford uni
versity and his Ph. D. degree from
Columbia university. He served in
*the YMt’A with the British army
ity,Mesopotamia and India during
eWorld War I and on Admiral
King s staff as an intelligence of
ficer for the Navy during World
War II.
He has served on the faculty of
TBcrea college, Kentucky, and Ober
lin college, Ohio. Means has spent
'ten years in Southeast Asia, espe
cially in Indonesia and Malaya in
"missionary and educational work.
During the last eighteen months
-he has been engaged in a special
library Displays
Show (JO History
Second in a series of displays
"Celebrating Oregon's 7.10) anniver
sary is now on exhibit on the first
floor of the University library.
Subject of this month's display
,it> "University of Oregon Docu
mentary H i s t o r y". Documents
"fiom the beginning of the Univer
sity to the present time are exhib
ited. Events mentioned include the
approval by the governor in 1876
of an act "Vo provide for the sup
T>ort and government of the Uni
versity of Oregon."
The display pictures Oregon's be
ginning, with a faculty of five led
by President J. W. Johnson. In
'1881 Henry Villard donated $7,000
to Oregon in order to end financial
difficulties. He also donated more
’’fcooks to the library already start
ed by the Laurean and Eutaxian
Literary Societies in 1877.
During the 1900's administration
troubles occurred. The next two
presidents, Charles H. Chapman
'and Frank Strong, eliminated
■ these difficulties by creating sepa
rate schools headed by deans.
The next president was Prince
L. Campbell, and following him
-during Oregon's golden anniver
sary was Arnold B. Hall.
Another important evert which
is illustrated in the display is the
■»fact that the Oregon legislature

research project, under the aus
pices of the University of Oregon
and a Ftilbright Fellowship on
“Modern Trends of Islam in .South
east Asia." He returned to the
University this fall as professor
and head of the department of re
ligion.
Means visited Borneo during
March this year and spent two
weeks among the Dayak head
hunters in the heart of that coun
try. He brought back a Oibbon
(smallest variety of ape) who is
known to the Means family as
“Happy", and will try to have him
on the stage during the lecture.

Dorm Director
Tells Meal Plan
As a service to students who re
main in the dormitories during the
Thanksgiving holidays, special
meal tickets covering the four-day
period from Nov. 22 through Nov.
25 will be sold.
Dormitory meal service during
the period will include 11 meals,
according to Dormitory Director H.
P. Barnhart. Breakfast and dinner
will be served on Thursday; break
fast, luncheon, and dinner on Fri
day and Saturday; and breakfast
and dinner on Sunday. Meal tickets
for the four-day period will be sold
for $6.20.
No refunds or adjustments will
be made for meals not eaten. Tick
ets will not be sold on a daily
basis. Rather, those students wish
ing to eat in the dormitories on a
separate-meal basis will pay the
normal per meal rate of 45 cents
for breakfast, 60 cents for lunch
eon and $1.10 for dinner.
quest was rot itemized. The sec
ond, which will ask for about $300
above the present $1540 budget,
“has a good chance of success,” ho
said.
One item, about $400 to send ob
servers to next summer’s National
Students Association convention,
was scratched off the new request,
he said, because it will fall in the
next fiscal year's budget.
A previous idea, to raise fundi
for the ASUO budget by taking a
percentage of the University Co
operative store rebates, was dis
missed. An opinion from Orlando
Hollis, dean of the law school, wa+
previously read indicating all re
bates were property of the Co-op'»
owners. A board member who as
signed them elsewhere, it said,
would be liable for suit by the own
ers.
Assembly Attendance Discussed
Assemblies and assembly attend
ance were brought up again. Mem
bers believed that attendance at
Friday night’s pre-game rally
probably topped attendance at
both assemblies during the day.
These were the addresses by Uni
vers ty of British Columbia Presi
dent N. A. M. Mackenzie ar»<t
Harvard President James E. Con
ant.
"Compulsory attendance would
not be effective,” Carey said. “X
think we have to realize the Ore
gon student is of such a nature
that he will take advantage of
those assemblies he wants to and
leave those he doesn't want.”
"Compared to other colleges,
this campus is unusual in that re
spect, ’ he remarked, "but the col
lege spirit is wonderful. The pre
game rally indicated that.”
Number of Suggestions
Searching for a solution to poor
ly attended assemblies, cabinet
, members made a number of sug
l gestions included compulsory at
tendance by freshman and house
pairings.
“Sooner or later,” said Jack
Smith, athletic chairman, “we will
become speech conscious. Perhaps
there are too many now. We expect
the noon assembly idea to grow too
fast.”
Carey also said the Willamette
university Varsity Follies, first iu
a series of three exchange assem
blies this year, was slated for 1
p.m. Nov. 27. He did not thir.k
there would be any lack of attend
ance for this one. OSC and possible
Portland university will also put
on exchange assemblies this year. *
Halloween Party Criticisms Aired
Criticisms of the giant Hallo
ween party were also aired by cab
inet members. They included that
food distribution had been unequal
and that entertainment at Mac
court was "over the heads" of the
children. But all endorsed it as a
"big success.”
"Perhaps it has set a precedent,”
said Stu McCollum, public rela
tions chairman, "which will be fol
lowed in future years.”
McCollum also suggested the
ASUO might sponsor more Friday
night dances at the SU. There wav
a possibility that the "jazz phil
hamonic”, apparently not to be
sponsored by the Student union
board, could be sponsored by the
ASUO, Carey said.
The president also indicated that
letters from himself and Ron Sym
ons to the University of California
i elating to a joint pre-game dance
and rally had not yet been an
swered.
Co-Rec Evening
Scheduled Friday
The third in the series of Co-Rec
nights will be held Friday night
from 7 p.m.-10:30 p.m. in Ger
linger hall.
Offered at the Co-Rec night are
volleyball, pingpong, shuffleboard,
swimming, badminton and square
dancing.
Admission is free and all uni
versity students are invited to at
tend according to Belle Doris Rus
sell, co-chairman of the event.
