Hay Hawk, director of men’s af fairs, said that some freshmen are now living in Straub dormitory— upper division men’s dorm—and that "a few more" would be moved in to fill up the hall. However, he said that those freshman who do move in are be ing carefully screened and that no one is being forced to move from the vets’ dorm. "All of the counselors are being retained." Hawk mated. There has been no special study hall for the freshmen last terrti - as there was last year at this time, with French hall in the vets’ dorm being converted to a study hall.

The program was proposed at a Dec. 11 board meeting but action was delayed then because of the absence of four board members. I hr. complete board Tucsdav with Mrs. K. B. McNaughton of, voted 8 to 1 for the proposal, Portland casting the lone negative ballot. Three .Schools Affected The program is to be put into effect at the three college* at Ash land, La Grande and Monmouth. It had been vigorously opposed in December by President H. K. Newburn of the University of Ore gon and again Tuesday by Dean of Administration William C. Jones, acting in Newbura's ab sence. The board also went on record in favor of a statewide survey of teacher training and asked Chan cellor Charles D. Byrne to bring in the framework for such a study at the Jan. 22 board meeting. Increased to Five The new program increases the number of Oregon campuses at which students may do master's degree work from two to five—the University of Oregon, Oregon State and the three colleges of education. The UO Medical school in Port land gives master's degrees, but they are subject to the approval of the University of Oregon. The University was the only in stitution which opposed the mas ter’s degree program for the col- , leges of education. Roqntwted Survey According to Dean Jones, he and President Newburn were only ask ing that a survey of teacher train ing in Oregon be made before adoption of the proposed program. However, the survey, if it is made, will follow the program's adoption. The University officials’ opposi tion to the program was based on the following points: 1. The increased cost for opera tion of the colleges of education would cause a reduction in the budgets of the University and OSC.

In the previous articles. Km { entld reporter Boh Southwell has pointed out the past and present state of the millrarc and the plans for improving it. Today the ques ' tion of what the inillraee would be used for is explained.) — By Bob Southwell * If the Millrace should ever re sume its former rapid flow, how would the University use it? * Canoeing used to he a popular student pastime, but the Anchor age cafe, which rented 30 to 40 ^ canoes, has gone out of business. Canoe fetes used to highlight Jun * ior Weekend, but the area in which I the fetes were presented was torn up when Franklin blvd. was con structed. ^ The campus planning commis sion, headed by Dean S. W. Little ? of the architecture school, isn’t ! worrying about the past. Instead, T it has already drawn plans for re constructing the canoe fete area * and spent $4,000 grading that area fall term. JWork Needs Student Interest Little said that his commission ^ is working on the assumption that "the city won’t do much more work on the millrace until students “ take more of an interest in it. li the students will inaugurate a mill race float parade, then the city and University might find a way | to develop the stream”. » On the assumption that student interest in the millrace will revive, the commission is planning to com Eugene Kcgistcr-Giw.nl I'hoto IN THE DAYS when the Millracc was full, floats like the one pictured above were really “floats”. Aided by the current and student swimmer-propellers, the canoe fete entries were an important part of Junior Weekend events. Pictured in the background of the above picture is the student-filled stands erected on the Millracc bank. / plete its landscaping job and per haps build a sidewalk along the area between the physical plant bridge and the Rose Court motel. Its long range plan provides for bleachers, a sound shell and light ing for the future canoe fetes. The area being developed is Uni versity property bordering Frank in blvd. directly across from the architecture building. Aside from an altered course of the millrace, moved north to accomodate the new highway, it is exactly' the same site which housed pre-war canoe fetes. Canoe Fetes Planned Little is planning the area for such canoe fetes as Oregon used to have. He explained, "The bleachers would bo set between the highway and the Millrace. Directly across from the bleachers will be a sound shell for the band to sit in. The whole area will be planted and landscaped, of course." Little realized, however, that the area will still be much different than the pre-war plan. Since a metropolitan highway now tra verses the region, car parking space will be a problem. Float Size Limited The new bridge leading to the physical plant would limit the size of floats, since they would be con structed up stream from the low bridge. "That would provide a challenge to the ingenuity of stu dents in planning their floats to fit under the bridge,” Little said. Thursday The fourth in the millrace series.
