ROTC Advanced
Interviews Today
Personal interviews for appli
cants to the Army advanced ROTC
program begin today. Any student
who has six terms of school re
1 maining, and who is interested in
j reserve officer training may still
apply for the program, according
to Maj. E. W. Palm, Army ad
jutant.
The Army program is comprised
of two units; ground forces and
transportation corps. Advanced
students are given general back
grounds in the fields of weapons,
1 administration, military law, log
istics and transport, and allied!
fields.
Upon the receipt of a degree and
completion of the advanced course
Army cadets are commissioned as
reserve second lieutenants. In this
capacity the graduate must then
serve two years on active duty and
six years in the active reserve.
Any student accepted in the ad
vanced program receives an auto
matic deferment from active duty
as long as he is enrolled in ROTC.
This also requires him to attend
a summer training camp between
junior and senior years.
Maj. Palm pointed out the fact
that veterans with previous mili
tary service are also qualified to
enter the program. They are then
benefited by their status as mem
bers of the officer reserve upon
| completion of the course.

of the council and reported to the
council on the National Council of
Teachers of English convention.
Art Festival is Closed;
Future Plans Made
The University of Oregon has
just finished an experiment, the
Festival of Contemporary Art.
For the first time on this cam
pus, works of art embracing the
fields of dance, music, literature
and aesthetics, drama, visual arts,
and motion pictures, were present
ed in one big concentrated six
week program from Feb. 1 through
March 13.
An estimated 10,000 people at
tended the events of the Festival,
according to Glen Starlin, assist
ant professor of speech and gen
eral chairman of the event. In
view of this, Starlin said that the
festival committee was able to
call it a “success” and that he
was “very happy” with it.
The committee hopes to make
the festival, or something com
parable to it, either an annual or
bi-annual event, Starlin said. The
committee is currently in the pro
cess of planning and discussing a
future festival.
In his introduction to the fes
tival, printed on festival programs,
Bertram E. Jessup, associate pro
fessor of philosophy, explained
contemporary art by saying “con
temporary art invites us to our
selves, for we alone are the sub
stance and the conditions out of
which contemporary art comes to
be. It is experience—our experi
ence. We are it.”
Keeping in this theme, outstand
ing speakers, dancers, movies and
art exhibits were brought to the
campus.
53-plus years of existence. Pa
pers will be available, as they
were today, at six centrally-to
cated points on campus, rather
than being delivered to living
organizations as they previous*
ly were.
Delivery Time Announced
The six spots, the Co-op, the
Westgate Shoppe, the University
library, the Student Union, John
Distribution Spots
Emeralds may be picked up
by students at six spots on cam
pus the rest of this term. The
six places are: ..
• Co-op, front entrance.
• Westgate Shoppe, 13th ave,
and Kincaid St.
• University library, west
main entrance.
• Student Union, lobby.
• John Straub dormitory3
main entrance.
• Carson Hall, lobby.
Papers will be available some
time after 11:30 a.m. Monday
through Friday, around noon at
Straub and Carson.
Straub dormitory and Carson hall,
will have Emeralds available some
time after 11:30 a.m. Monday
through Friday.
The move to noon publication
arises chiefly because of current
costs and difficulty in meeting
these costs. The Thursday anc!
Friday eight-page papers were cut
to four, and the paper is published
during the morning at the Univer
sity press rather than the nigh
before because of the day-night
differential in cost.
Publication Changes
Before this year the Emerald
published five days a week, eight
pages. Fall term it went to four
days a week. Winter term it wen;
back to five days, but cut the
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
papers to four pages. The noon
publication, five four-pagers, will
apply to the 35 remaining (includ
ing today’s) spring term papers.
The Emerald is remaining a five
day per week paper because it waa
felt necessary to provide daily cov
erage for the campus. Also, to per
mit publication as late in the
term as possible, the schedule wan
left as it is.
