Anyone who has viewed the sculpted ducks in the S.U. court yard is familiar with at least one I work of award winner Tom Har ;dy._ Hoover... (Continued front page 1) I to have resided in Oregon. He ! lived in Newberg during his boy hood and attended Pacific Acad i emy, which is now George Fox ! College. Hoover also resided in ' Salem. A Republican, Hoover was President from 1929 to 1932. Dur ing his term the Great Depression set in, and he never forgave Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his I successor, for calling it the I ‘‘Hoover depression.” As the years progressed, how ever, Hoover came to look at the depression years with a bit more humor. Humor a Characteristic Discussing depressions once, he said: “I should be regarded as an expert of these subjects. At least, I was credited with having constructed one, all by myself— the entire world depression which lasted in the United States from 1931 to 1941. I even had the honor of having that depression named after me by various poli tical candidates.” With the humor that was a characteristic of Hoover after he mellowed, he replied to praise in this manner. Work—Best Antidote “Much overstatement has been made here today and it would take too much time to refer to all of it. But I'll simplify it for you by saying it's all true.” Hoover called “work" the ‘‘best antidote to ills and pills.” His range of public service i spanned directing massive relief ; operations in World War I, food administration in the United 1 States, a term as secretary of | commerce, and then the presi i dency. A boyhood friend of the former I President said Tuesday night he had been invited to attend Hoov er’s funeral in New York City, according to Associated Press. Burt Brown Barker, vice-presi dent emeritus of the University, said he will leave Portland Wed ! nesday. Barker will celebrate his 91st birthday Nov. 3. He was a Sunday school class mate of Hoover at Salem. Barker said he corresponded with Hoov er through the years and often visited the former president. — Faculty Member Makes Business Study There are indications of growth ; and new retail opportunity in the j San Francisco Bay trading area, with a trend toward concentra tion of sales in the larger stores, according to a study by Donald L Thompson, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Oregon.
