Fall Enrollment
Increase Seen
A slight increase in overall en
rollment is forecast for fall term,
by Clifford L. Constance, regis
trar. Last fall's enrollment reached
a peak of 4231. Registrations to
taling approximately 4250 arc ex
pected this term.
A marked increase in the num- i
ber of veterans is expected how- j
ever. The influx of Korean veter-!
ans is expected to offset the de- i
dine in the number of World War
II veterans, Constance reports.
With admissions running al>out
four per cent ahead of those at this
time last year, new students
should reach a total of approx
imately 1631, 63 more than last
fall term. A total of nearly 104S
freshmen are expected to complete
registration this term, along with
about 115 special students. Both
of these classifications show an
increase from last year. The fresh
men registration is expected to
increase from last fall's total of
1027, and the special students ■
category is expected to rise from !
last year’s total of 110.
The complete breakdown of cn-!
rollment figures will not be avail-1
able until early next week, Con- i
stance said. The number of stu
dents registering ordinarily
reaches a peak fall term, with
lesser numbers enrolling for the
winter and spring sessions, he
added.
When McClure Came Down
McCLURE HALL as it appeared in early August when it was being razed to make room for the new
$559,000 journalism building which will be completed in late 1954. The first permanent building ever
to be torn down on the campus, McClure was completed in 1900 at a cost of $28,000. It was the third
oldest building on campus.'
Oregon Halts
Stadium Plans
Even though Eugene doesn't
have it yet, the effects of televi
sion are being felt by the Univer
sity of Oregon in its athletic build
ing program.
The University’s plans to build
a new football stadium were
shelved for the time being in ac
cordance with retiring President
, K. Newburn’s recommendation
to the state board of higher educa
tion that it be postponed for the
next 10 to 15 years.
A statement from the University
to the board said that “with the
development of television and its
effect upon attendance, we believe
we need further experience before
committing substantial funds to
the construction of a permanent
stadium. The experience should ex
tend over the next several years
and should indicate the nature and
size of crowds we can expect to
attend the games here in Eugene ”
Newburn described the move as
“hedging against the future’’ in an
interview following the board's
Tuesday meeting. The move has
the approval of the faculty and ad
ministration also.
Seating Capacity Enlarged
In place of the stadium, the seat
ing capacity of Hayward field will
be raised to 26,700 by raising the
east grandstand, moving it back

and adding steel bleachers Iij
front. The seating capacity of Me-.
Arthur court will also be increased
hy the addition of a second balcony
slated to hold 1500 people. This
will bring the seating capacity of
the building to around 10,000.
Money for the changes will com®
from the athletic fund which is
made up of game profits and gifts.
Estimated cost for the changes ia
$135,000 for the stadium and $120,
000 for Mac court. An additional
$40,000 is being kept as a reserve
and $75,000 is being held for pos
sible purchase of land for later
stadium development.
Pavilion Activity Scheduled
Work on Hayward field will
start no later than February. The
addition to the basketball pavilion
is scheduled to start soon after the
state high school basketball tour
nament next spring and to be fin
ished in time for the 1954-55 sea
son.
The property east of Agate
street, which the University has
been acquiring for a stadium site
for several years, is already be
coming impractical because of in
creased traffic and parking prob
lems, according to Newbum. He
also stated that the land should
be held “for other and more im
portant uses of the University.”
Newbum stressed that the delay
did not mean a change in the Uni
versity’s athletic policy, but is be
ing done on the practical basis of
possible future game attendance
here.
Other questions, besides televi
sion involved in the decision, were
the future growth of Eugene, the
possibility of a four-lane highway
fi om Portland to Eugene and how
well the coming games in Eugene
with California schools will be at
tended.
