Wegner Now Performs For Ex-rival Borcher Ry Martin Meadows An old rivalry between Bill Borcher and Ken Wegner was can celled last fall when Borcher was appointed Head Basketball Coach at the University of Oregon. The rivalry dated back to the 1949 state hoop tournament, at which time Ken, one of the main IiEN WKGNKK stays of that year’s Roosevelt 1 high school team, led his mates to a victory over Borcher's Marsh > field squad in the tournament fi I nale. On Varsity Squad This year, however, Borcher has installed the speedy sophomore guard at a starting position, and Wegner has performed quite well j despite the fact that this is his ! first year of varsity competition. I By the time his senior year rolls (around he may very possibly be I one of the top playmakers in the Northern Division. Last year Ken showed that he was definitely of varsity caliber as he helped guide the Oregon i Frosh to an outstanding record of 19 triumphs in 20 games, ami i wound up second in the scoring column behind Barney Holland. All-City Recognition The 5’11” PE major put in two years on the Roosevelt varsity basketball aggregation! After: nailing down the state title in ; 1949 as mentioned before, Roose I velt again placed high in 1950, ■ finishing third in the 16-team field after copping the Portland championship. Ken gained All City and second-string All-State recognition that year. Oregon, which has been noted for fast, hard-driving guards, es pecially since the days of its 1939 National Champion “Alleycats,” apparently has another speedster to carry on the tradition. In Ken Wegner the Webfoots have at j least part of the nucleus for a Not Good Enough GAFNEY, S. C. (U.R) — Magi strate James M. Bridges says he has now heard them all. A 25-year old defendant told Bridges he got : intoxicated eating banana pudding. future winner, and with only two first-stringers slated to earn their degrees in June, Wegner may help to provide the spark for such a combination. BA. Social Science Get New Quarters Social science and business ad ministration students will return to the campus next fall to find better equipped classrooms and laboratories awaiting them in the new addition to Oregon and Com mrece halls. The three-story, brick-faced ad dition will tie onto the north sides of Oregon and Commerce halls by ramps and stairs. The addition has ubout 38,000 square feet of floor area, according to I. I. Wright, superintendent of the physical plant. I'nlque Feature A unique feature of the addi tion will be a 25-foot-wlde arcade through the first floor, facing the Dad's Gates to the north and the library to the south. On the first floor, there will be one large lecture room that will sent 2f>6, in addition to one large classroom and several medium sized classrooms. The second floor consists of two large classrooms, four smaller classrooms, and four seminar rooms. Seven small class rooms and one large classroom will be on the third floor. “This will be a very usable classroom building," according to Wright, "and will relieve the class room situation on campus.” Two Office levels There will be two levels of of fices one slightly below the first floor and one slightly above it. Present plans are to have Dean Victor P. Morris of the business administration school to occupy one set of offices and Dr. W. Macy, head of the economics de partment, to occupy the other. One of the outstanding features of the new building that Dean Morns mentioned was the two large accounting laboratories, these will be especially equipped with accounting desks and a lim ited number of adding machines. On Schedule The construction is "pretty well on schedule." Wright said. Com pletion is expected sometime next summer. Procurement of vital metals, such as copper, might hold up the construction, he said. The rainy weather didn't bother the cement-pourers. They just built a make-shift roof and went right on pouring cement even though the perennial Eugene downpour did its utmost. Architects for the building are Wick and Hiigers, A.I.A., Port land. General contractor is the Bickford Construction company, also of Portland. The A. G. Rush light, Inc., Portland, are mechan ical contractors, and the L. H. Morris company, Eugene, are the electrical contractors. HEY DAD! We're Wishing You A Swell Week-end! INSTANT PRESSING-/ Bureau Release? UO Activity News For State Papers When students, faculty members or activities of the University make headlines in newspapers of the state it's nearly always be cause of the work of six persona who make tip the stuff of the University news bureau. “A news source for the people ! of the state so they may know what goes on at the University" is the expression ascribed to the news bureau by Mrs. Josephine Moore, manager, who graduated from the school of journalism In 1931. Km ploy* Student* The news bureau employs five students who work from 10 to 12 hours a week at pay of 81 i cents an hour. From their office in the basement of Johnson hall they scour the campus for news, each reporter being responsible • for a heat. By a news beat Mrs. Moore explained that every de partment, news source and or ganization is covered by tho staff, each reporter covering cer tain sources and seeing the same I*ersons every day. Once the information has been gathered, the reporter write it up in news form, ready for publica tion. If the story is of statewide interest, copies will be mimeo graphed and M-nt out to all news papers in the state. Central news .stories usually go only to the two Portland papers and the Kugcno Hegister-Guard. Articles about students what they're doing In activities and scholarship always are sent out in me newspapers in me summis home towns. These ■•hometown" stories are handled by one mem ber of the news bureau who gets the information from tile other reporters, builds up Ibe angle of hometown news and mails the story to the particular paper. The news bureau maintains a reference file which Includes a 1 card for each student and faculty member. These cards contain all : vital Information concerning tho I individual. If the story is of major impor tance where the element of time ! liness has special appeal it is sent by wire. Most generally, however, stories are mailed out several I times a day from the news bureau. 1‘hoto Bureau Helps When it Is desirable to have pictures accompany stories, tho. news bureau calls on the Univer sity photo bureau to make up an :8xl0 "glossy.'' If the picture is going to The Oregonian it is sent as is. All other newspapers re quest paper mache mats which they run instead of metal engrav ings. Mats are made up in the shop of the Register-Guard and clipped to the stories before mail ing. Much younger than the 75-year old University, the bureau was first set up in 1925 with George Godfrey, a journalism graduate of a few years before, as its director. Before the bureau came Into be ing, University news was han dled by students who were paid by the newspapers for which they were writing. The Oregonian and the Journal have campus corres pondents whom they pay, but funds for operation of the news bureau come from the state. Manager Kiglit Years Mrs. Moore, who is in her eighth year as manager of the bureau, was president of Alpha Gamma Chi, women's advertising honorary, when she was a student here. She took over her position from George Turnbull when he be came dean of the journalism school. Mrs. Moore plays an important part in the public relations of the University. It is her job, with a staff of student assistants, to see that news of Oregon and particu larly Oregon students is dis tributed to the metropolitan and| ^ small city papers of the state.
