I/O Takes Over
Bioloqy Institute
By Bob Rogers
Emerald Reoorte»
The Marine Biology Institute i
at Coos Bay which has recently j
been taken over by the Univer
sity of Oregon, possesses un
limited potentialities, according
to Dr. B. H. McConnaughey. as
sistant professor of biology, who,
has been appointed temporary
head of the institute pending the
appointment of a new head of the
University’s biology department.
Although the institute is in
the state of rehabilitation, which
includes general building repair
and the leveling of the shore line,
regular classes are tentatively
set for the summer of 1956. This
repair work is being headed by
I. I. Wright, head of Oregon's
physical plant.
Observe Sea Life
The importance of the marine
station is primarily that it will
provide the undergraduate with,
an economical opportunity to ob
serve. first hand, the major types
of ocean and seashore life. Three
other Pacific coast hiological in
stitutes of this nature are cur
rently in operation, but they deal
with more advanced work.
Another outstanding advan
tage of this school is its location.
As it now stands, the nearest
northern laboratory is located in ■
• Grays Harbor, which receives!
specimen from the Arctic re-1
gions. The two southern labora
tories. located in southern Cali
fornia, acquire sea^ material from
the gulf area.
The present site of the biology
station has easy access to many
desired types of localities. These
include protected sandy beaches,
mud flats, a group of typical old
pilings, rocky reefs, and open 1
IT
coast ranges. Also it is unique in
that there are two complete tides
flowing during a 24-hour period
which provides greater opportu
nity for the study of marine life.
Other Acres Vuluuhlc
The SO acres which surround
the labs are still wild and are
valuable for the practical study
of other types of sciences. Orig
inally the land was deeded to the
University of Oregon in 1931
with a strong financial backing
guarantee from a wealthy Port
land firm. However, the depres
sion soon set in and this source
of aid was destroyed.
Shortly afterward, it was tak
en over by the Civilian Conserva
tion corps, which erected some
buildings on the site and used
it as a camping site.
During the last two years, the
University of Oregon and Oregon
State college both managed the
area until last fall.
McConnoughey hopes to oper
ate the institute for two five
week periods instead of the whole
summer. This would give more
students an opportunity to at
tend without taking the whole
summer. Tentative prices include
registration fees at $55. and ap
proximately SI35 loom and board
for an eight-week session.
