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

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.

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.
