NYA Funds Again
Open
to 0. U. Students
University of Oregon, Eugene,
Sept. 6 Federal aid for students,
through the National Youth Admin
istration, will again be available at
the University of Oregon, and ap
plications for grants are now being
received, it was announced here by
Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel.
A substantial increase over the
amount allotted the institution last
year, which totalled $33,073, is ex
pected due to increase in enrollment.
Both new and old students may
apply for work under the NYA ar
rangement, and in addition there
will be part time positions available
through the university that will net
students more than $120,000, Dean
Onthank stated. These include schol
arships totalling $36,489, fellowships
amounting to $26,595, and funds for
student help such as janitors and
assistants, totalling $54,640. Last
year students obtained $87,535 from
loan funds, and this amount is ex
pected to be available again this
year.
Financial assistance, through po
sitions and loans, was extended to
more than 1300 students last year,
more than one-third of the student
body. More than three-fourths of
all students are partially self-supporting,
more than half contributed
more than 50 per cent of their ex
penses, while a fourth are entirely
"on their own," statistics here show.
NYA students last year, in addition
to carrying considerabe work in
connection with their studies, made
an exceptionally high scholastic rec
ord, the reports show. The honor roll
for the three terms, which averaged
175 students, was attained by more
than one third of the NYA group,
while less than five per cent of the
total student body is included on this
list, approximately 15 per cent of the
roll being made up of those working
under NYA.

was one per cent over the deaths
for the month of July a year ago,
Oregon's figure was 14 per cent under.
Gazette Times, Heppner,
1939 Crops to be
Somewhat Smaller
Than in 1937-38
General crop prospects in the
country as a whole remain much the
same as a month ago despite local
changes and in respect to certain
items, according to a recent digest of
the situation by the O. S. C. exten
sion service. Conditions are some
what less favorable than a year ago,
and considerably below 1937.
Among the changes noted in the
situation since the first of July was
damage to pastures and ranges, corn,
and other late crops in extensive
northeastern and western areas. On
the other hand, conditions improved
in much of the central and southern
corn and cotton areas.
Wheat prospects improved in July
so that production is expected to be
731.4 million bushels, 15 million bu
shels above the July estimate, ac
cording to the government estimates
of August 1. Corn prospects declined
to 2,460 million bushels, but im
provement in oats, barley, and grain
sorghums nearly offset the reduction
in corn crop prospects. Hay produc
tion prospects improved slightly. The
potato estimate was cut nine million
to 356.8 million bushels.
Alsike clover seed production in
the United States is estimated at 19.5
million pounds, 76 per cent of the
1938 output but about average. Win
ter field pea production in Oregon
is expected to be 20 to 25 per cent
greater than in 1938 when production
amounted to 21.3 million pounds,
Hairy vetch seed production in Ore
gon, estimated at 8.5 to 9 million
pounds, compares with 7.1 million
pounds as the 1938 crop. Common
vetch seed production in Oregon is
expected to be somewhat above 1938,
offset to some extent by a reduc
tion in Hungarian vetch seed pro
duction. The production of common
rye grass seed in Oregon is expect
ed to be considerably above 1938.
English rye grass seed production
may be twice last year's crop.
That part of the United States ap
ple crop to be sold for fresh con
sumption is estimated at 102.6 mil
lion bushels, compared with 82.4
million in 1938 and 96.5 million as
the 1927-1938 average. The apple
crop in Oregon and Washington and
in the western states as a group,
however, is smaller than last year.
Heavy yields are expected in the
north central and north Atlantic
areas.
Slight increases were registered
for beans and sugar beets. The hop
estimate was reduced slightly. Only
nominal changes were made in the
estimates for peaches, pears, dried
prunes, and grapes.
The 1939 peppermint oil crop in
Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon,
and Washington is expected to be 5
per cent smaller than 1938 and 3 per
cent below the 1929-1937 average.

Many U. of O. Alumni
In Oregon Who's Who
University of Oregon, Eugene,
Sept 6 College and university
trained men and women number
approximately two thirds of the total
of 5,000 included in the latest edi
tion of "Who's Who in Oregon," and
of this number, 92 received all or
part of their higher education at the
University of Oregon, it was re
vealed here today by Dr. James H.
Gilbert, dean of the college of social
sciences, who has just completed a
survey of the group.
The figures completely disprove
the assertion frequently made that
Oregonians go outside the state for
their college or university educa
tion, for more than half, or 1532 of
the two -thirds, went to Oregon in
stitutions. The University of Oregon
alone supplied more leaders to the
state than did Harvard, Yale, Colum
bia, Stanford, California, and Wash
ington combined, Dean Gilbert's
figures show.
Bearing out the tradition of pub
lic service that has always been
strong with Oregon graduates, the
survey shows that 11 university
graduates have won distinction in
judicial positions within the state,
while 59 others occupy positions of
prominence in national, state, and
local government. Among these are
Congressmen Charles L. McNary,
Homer D. Angell, James W. Mott;
Clyde B. Atchison, member of the
interstate commerce commission; Jo
seph Carson, mayor of Portland; Or
mon R. Bean, state public utility
commissioner, and many others.
Norval Martin, mayor of The
Dalles, was a business visitor in the
city Saturday.
