NAME
Service Men
Courses Shaped
Pacific University, Forest
Grove, Nov. 14 College credit
for educational experiences un
dergone by men and women
who have served with the arm
ed forces will be allowed by
Pacific university, according to
a plan released today by Dr.
M. O Skarsten, director of admissions.
Providing for the granting of
college credit for demonstrated
educational competence, the
plan states that the kind and
amount of credit will be deter
mined by recommendations of
accrediting bodies, by tests
given the applicant, and by re
quirements set up by the uni
versity. Educational experiences for
which Pacific university may
allow credit are: army or navy
service courses, university ex
tension correspondence courses,
courses sponsored by the Unit
ed States armed forces insti
tute, courses pursued in the
army specialized training, V-12,
and other programs for which
the army or navy made arrange
ments with colleges and univer
sities, courses in the navy gen
eral education program and
basic military training.
Knowledge resulting from
travel and from combat and
scrvicc duty may also be con
sidered as part of an applicant s
educational experience, Dr,
Skarsten said. Until the stu
dent has demonstrated that he
can do the work for which he is
enrolled in the university, cred
its allowed for military experi
ence will be provisional.
The director of admissions
emphasized that the plan would
not grant credit merely in terms
of length of service or as a re
ward for service. Credit will
be allowed in terms of what a
student has demonstrated that
he has learned and can do.

Gallantry in action during the
Sicilian and Italian campaigns
have earned for Cpl. Raymond
G. White of Sweet Home, Ore.,
veteran of four invasions, both
the Silver Star and Oak Leave
cluster. The decorations, pre
sented him by his battalion com
mander before a unit formation
here recently, joined a Purple
Heart, received for combat
wounds, a Good Conduct medal,
in recognition of good behavior,
fidelity and efficiency, and four
bronze campaign stars for par
ticipation in the D-Day assault
landings.
When U.S. forces swarmed
across the Mediterranean to in
vade Sicily, Cpl. White helped
rescue some of the men whose
landing craft had rceived a di-
rect hit from enemy shore bat
teries. For this he was awarded
the Silver Star. The Oak Leaf
cluster was presented for the
corporal's one-man sniper hunt
ing expedition during the days
when his unit was clawing its
way on to the European main
land in Italy.
Member of the first amphib
ian engineer unit formed in the
U.S. army, the Oregon soldier
has seen duty in eight countries
during his 26 months overseas.
Before entering the service he
was employed by a road contruc-
tion contractor in Albany. His
mother, Mrs. Ruth Franusiszn,
resides at Sweet Home.
For his leadership in taking a
military objective under Ger
man machine gun fire Tech. Sgt.
Howard R. West of Minneapolis,
Minn., son of Mr. and Mrs. Rob
ert West of 715 South 12th
street, has been awarded the
Silver Star. The feat for which
the sergeant, who has been in
the service 29 months and over
season for 10 months, was cited
took place May 11, 1944. The
citation reads:
"When the withering fire of an enemy
machine Run made the further advance
of his squad extremely hazardous. Tech.
St. West, a rifle platoon sergeant, bold
ly led three ol his men In creeping for
ward under heavy observed enemy fire
to a position from which they couid
engage the enemy, and by accurate rifle
tire glued several of the enemy crew, en
abling his platooti to advance and take the
objective without loss of life, Sgt, West
then, at the risk of his life, moved across
300 yards of exposed terrain to establish
contact with an adjoining company which
had become separated from his own com
pany during the course of the attack."
Sgt. West's wife is making her
home in Los Angeles while her
husband is overseas.
