EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Thurs., Jan. 3, 1963 Page 9A Big Wind, Six-Day Cold By PEPPER BERKELEY Of Oh eUrtster-Gnaxd When 1961 closed, the year's weather pattern was summed up as "the year of the winds" In the Emerald Empire. Certainly there were a few more Pacific storms than usual, and scattered damage a few blown-off roofs, uprooted trees and a freak accident that killed three men. At the end of 1961, however, it seemed to be massive dam age. Now, at the end of 1962, the previous year's wind damage has been dwarfed by the Oct 12 Columbus Day storm.

Floyd Mullen of Albany, club president, said the $4,000 gift comes from reserve money of the OSU Dads Club. The $4,000 will be matched to $50,000 by the United Stu dent Aid Fund, a national non profit corporation. For every $1,000 a university can raise for student loans, the national USAF organization will provide backing to $12,500. The USAF is a private, non profit service corporation which endorses low-cost, long-term loans made by local banks to needy college students. It serves as an intermediary between the student's hometown bank and the student's college. These funds may be used by Oregon State University sopho mores, juniors and seniors.
