By PENNY HAYS Emerald Staff Writer To the student who likes to mix his summer vacation with aca demic pursuits, the Oregon Insti tute of Marine Biology offers its second summer session on the Coos 3ay coast: five weeks in a five acre a’ea that has a wealth of marine life. Students can live at the sta tion, get their meals there and The dollar in your pocket now will help make it possible for him to walk without braces. And more: It will help train the hands and minds of many professional experts, all desperately needed... it will help finance re search to perfect the vaccine. Today, there is less polio, but: Tens of thousands bom too soon for the vaccine still need your help. P. S. — He'll make it. His name?s Mark Fight.

The University operates a Marine I.ife Insti tute at Coos Bay on the Ore gon coast where students find and examine such specimens. enjoy what Eavard H. MeCon naughey. assistin' professor of biology, terms "a very congenial group living experience.” Mc Connaughey is acting director of the OIMB. which is being con trolled by the University biology department in cooperation with the state system of higher educa , tion. McConnaughey points out that most of the nation's marine sta tions cater only to advanced bi ology students, while the OIMB is unusual because non-specializ ed undergraduates, as well as graduates, may enroll to supple ment their education. Students will have first-hand opportunities to get the opinions , of many biologists from all over i the country. The main reason for this is the grant from the Na tional Science Foundation which will bring a number of outstand j ing biologists to the institute for a simultaneous couTse for college \ biology teachers. This separate program will be under the dire tion of Robert W. Morris, instruc tor in bydogy. Facilities of the station are three teaching laboratories, one research laboratory and separate housing for men and women. Al though family housing is not available, a family could rent housing near the station. One of the group recreational activities is volleyball before dinner. The emphasis of the institute is the natural resources for field biology available. Mud-flats, rock Prof Talks Politics At PS Honorary Meet What the Oregon Democrat* <lo in the next two month;: will make or break the party, Waldo .Schu macher, acting head of the po litical science department, told members and guests of PI Sigma Alpha, political science honorary, at a recent meeting. Schumacher discussed the No vember elections, both on a state and national scale. Schumacher said that in the state of Oregon, the Democrats were more strongly organized than the Republicans which is why they received more votes Some Republican poll watchers were paid, he believes, though whether or not this was the gen eral circumstance he said he didn't know. No Democrats re ceived compensation. In- said. In the national picture, tie said that the Amem an people chose to re-elect the present incumbent because in » time1 of a c reus they didn't want to change leader* and because of Eisenhower’s personal popularity. The personal popular ity is shown by the fact that it didn't brush off on Republican senators and representative*, he said. Speaking of the Southern states formations, estuaries and sandy beaches provide the characteris tics that first drew the attention 1 of H.B. Yocom, presently profes sor emeritus of zoology, of the University in the late 1920s, who often took his students there. Later the Civil Conservation Corp built the present camp and Congress allocated the area for educational purposes, Oregon State College managed it from 1945 to 19&3. Lack of finances caused closure of the station until last summer, when President O. Meredith Wilson secured money i to fix the buildings. Now visiting scientists may work any time of the year at the station, the only one in the re gion from the Puget Sound to Central California. The five week session will offer three basic eight hour courses with fees set at $65 and room and board at $100. The courses wjll be Invertebrate Biology. Algology (Marine algae), and Marine Ecology. Alfa; on the schedule are sev eial post-session courses to last three weeks. Persons interested in the OIMB program may con tact McConnaughey in Science 315. votes.
