'VAGUELY FAMILIAR'
Education School Changed
by Rodney Morrison
Emerald Reporter
Completely “off the beaten track"
as far as campus buildings are con
cerned, and therefore only vaguely
familiar to most students, is the
education school.
Located southwest of the library,
the building has, since last year, un
dergone dramatic, almost spectacu
lar physical changes.
As far as organization is con
cerned, the school has taken the old
University high school building for
its clasrooms and some of its of
fices, and has devoted its main
building to adequate office space.
Much Planning
The construction and redecora
tion, which was done this summer,
was the result of several months’
planning on the part of the whole
education school staff, with most of
the actual work of planning being
done by a committee of five people.

sor of education, served as chair
man of the committee, and one of
those serving in the group was Vi

secretary to Education school Dean
P. B. Jacobson.
Faculty Helped
Other members of the committee
were John P. Jones, Hugh B. Wood
and Thomas Ballinger, all of whom
are on the faculty of the education
school.
These changes and, ultimately,
expansion of office and classroom
space, had been planned for several
years, according to Dean Jacobson,
but it could not be done until after
last spring, when University high
was removed.
Uni-high Thirty Years Old
University high, like the educa
tion school building itself, has been
here for approximately thirty
years, according to Dean Jacobson.
The way in which the two were
connected was explained by the
Dean, when he said that the educa
tion school had formerly asigned
“most of their practice teaching at
University high,” but much of it
was done in nearby high schools
and junior highs.
The University owned the build
ing, however, and the teachers
there had the title of instructors on
the University faculty. One group

Schoolhouse Brown Gone
Speaking of the newly-redecorat
ed interiors of the two buildings,
Dean Jacobson said “Gone is the
schoolhouse brown,” because every
single room in both buildings is
done in a pastel color scheme of two
colors.
The central offices feature many
windows and excellent lighting,
both inside and out, and the ar
rangement is such that the whole
group of offices may be viewed at
once from several positions on the
outside.
The faculty seminar room, a spa
cious, well-lighted room, features
trapeziodal tables in. addition to
more conventional models. This
room, like the others, is done in pas
tel colors.
Teaching Innovations
In the old University high build
ing the newest in teacher-education
has been used as an architectural
and functional idea. Round tables
and also rectangular ones, the style
used in new primary schools, are
used throughout these rooms, as
well as movable cabinet space and
work tables with indestructable
surfaces.
The University reading clinic is
located in this building, under the
directorship of P. A. Killgallon. pro
fessor of education. In this section
are many devices to test and im
prove reading skill and speed. I
among which is the reading acceler
ator, or “pacing” machine.
Graduate Lounge
Other features of the building are
a spacious lounge for graduate stu
dents, which is adjacent to a work
room, also for graduates.
In one of the observation rooms,
there is at the back of the room a

Service Aim of Dads
In 1927 and Today
"To serve in every possible wny
the interests of sons and daughters
of members," the Dads' Organiza
tion was begun in 1927, with a small
group of Interested dado and Uni
versity President Bennett Hall.
Now numbering approximately j
3500 members the present Dads'
Club has as its central organiza
tion an executive board composed
of fourteen members.
The executive board meets four
times a year, but the only general
meeting of the whole Dads’ Or
ganization is during Dads’ Week
end.
After the luncheon on Saturday
of Dads Weekend, the group tradi
tionally meets- for a general dis
cussion and business session.
The group has had fifteen presi
dents, including Gordon Wilson,
the current chief executive. Wilson
is from Portland.
Activities of the gTOup, even
though they arc a comparatively
loosely-organized one, are many.
Most outstanding among their ad
ditions to the campus are centered
about the Dads’ Gates, at the north
end of the campus.
Frequent additions to the Dads'
Lounge of the Student Union in
the form of furnishings have been
made in the four years since the
building has been here. They have
also made other donations in the
building.
One of the best-known projects
of the club is the Oregon Dads'
scholarships, presented annually to
students recommended by the Uni
versity's scholarship committee.
Standards for presentation are
need and previous scholastic re
cord.
Ext! a revenue in the form of
surplus dues is collected through
out the year and presented in the
form of a grant to superior upper
class students, according to Karl
Onthank, associate director of stu
dent affairs and executive secre
tary of the organization.
