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

And more:
It will help train the hands and minds of many professional
experts, all desperately needed... it will help finance re

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

Schumacher discussed the No

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

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.

State College managed it from
1945 to 19&3. Lack of finances
caused closure of the station until
