Fort Stevens; was transferred to
Seattle and from there was sent
to" Chicago and other midwest
camps, all for special training,
part of which was the study of
Spanish.
In January Mrs. Forgard, who
had been with her husband in
Seattle, visited him at Chicago
thinking he was to be sent over-
' seas soon. In February she and
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar
Forgard, received his address
from the Caribbean area, San
Juan, Puerto Rico. He is at the
headquarters of the Antilles coast
artillery command and was sent
there as an assistant adjutant to
replace an officer who had been
at the station for two years and
was eligible for a return to the
States.

much different story to write
home as they have pleasant work
ing conditions, in cool office
buildings, working hours from 8

half day a week off duty. A large
library, open "air theaters, a beau

Due at OSC ;
Fall Quarter :
OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
April, 20. -(Special) - This term
marks the low point in college en
rollment, as far as this institution
is concerned at least, in the opin
ion of E.B. Lemon, dean of ad
ministration and : registrar. Dean
Lemon predicts: the beginnings of
an upswing next' fall which will
carry to new record enrollments
limited only by capacity following
the close of the war. . - t
Incomplete figures for the pres
ent term were 1558,-exclusive of
military, before jthe end of the first
week, of which 1309 were women.
Previous low" points in modern
times were spring, term of 1919
with 1441 of which only 605 were
women. The depression and reor
ganization slump In the spring of
1934 dropped enrollment to 1870
of which only 689 were 'women.
High points came in 1928-29 with
a full year total of 3873' and in
194041 with 5117o r ' -i
Dean Lemon expects a gradual
upturn next fall regardless of war
conditions because enrollment of
women shows no sign of slacken
ing, numbers of, civilian men are
now at a minimum, and dis
charged service men are already
appearing.
f Many factors will contribute to
a rush to the colleges when de
mobilization begins in earnest,
says Dean Lemon, which could
easily carry Oregon State enroll
ment beyond 7000 if facilities are
available. Highest previous single
term enrollment was 4759 the fall
of 1940, when both classroom and
living facilities were overtaxed.

vious experience of students.

ing the course, including transpor
tation to Corvallls. Those who

dairy work at least three months
when suitable jobs are available.

ranch cooks to meet a keen de
man from many parts of the state.

rect from her. Both of these war
important jobs pay high wages.

Farm Groups
Protest Draft
Of Workers
SEATTLE, April 20 -JP)- Three
pf thestate'gj leading farm organ
izations tonight warned against
further drain on the resivoir of
agricultural, manpower and ap
pealed for deferment of young ag
ricultural workers. ' "
Tbeappeal was sent to President
Roosevelt,-congress, selective ser
vice director Hershey and others
by the Washington State Grange ;
The State Council of Farm. Coop
eratives and the State Farm
Bureau. - '
The groups asked that the labors
of farm workers be jgiven recogni
tion equal to the honor of wearing
"military uniform.
"Notwithstanding strong patri
otic determination to overcome all
reasonable obstacles, there is an
irreducable limit to the squeeze;
that agrculture can be subjected
to, and that limit has how reached
a hazardous borderline, the mes
sage stated. . j
- "The majority of present man
power on our farms is of an upper
age level Incapable of doing many
jobs of mechanical nature. There
fore to a greater degree than is
commonly; realized the remaining
young men are not effectively re
placeable. '
t "Hhere such young men are
found by Jocal draft boards to be
responsible-minded and doinig a
full-time essential job, they should
be deferred to continue their es
sential contributions to the war,
despite their normal desire to
share in direct military service.
