SCIENCE INTEREST Tom Hoffman, 10 receives instruction from Jacob Strauss, assistant professor of biology at the Uni versity of Oregon, on glass blowing. The university, like other higher education institutions in the state, is planning for future growth and facilities to handle such students as young Hoffman. 12,400 Students Expected at University of Oregon by 1970 (Editor's note: This is an other in a series of articles In which problems of high er education institutions are discussed. Today's arti cle reviews the history and what is planned in the fu ture for the University of Oregon.) Five years ago, there were few more than 4.00P students enrolled at the University of Oregon. Today there are al most 6,200. But this is only the beginning. Within 10 years there will be more than 10,500 students enrolled at the university and by 1970, it is estimated there will be more than 12,400 on the Eugene campus. These figures reflect the tremendous growth in enroll ments which are facing col leges and universities every where in the next decade. But they tell only a part of the story of what is happening at what may well be the fastest growing university in the na tion. At the University of Ore gon, under the guidance of O. Meredith Wilson, ninth presi dent of the university, and a distinguished faculty, impor tant progress is being made in providing the people of Oregon with one of the great state universities of the land. First Opened Doors Less than 83 years ago, the university first opened its doors in old Deady hall. Since that time, progress has been rapid. From the outset, the school was dedicated to the liberal arts, languages, math ematics, sciences, chemistry, biology, literature, economics, history, philosophy, political 'science, psychology, sociolo gy, speech. As the years pass ed professional schools were added. Today, the College of Lib eral Arts, with its 20 depart ments ranging from the social sciences through the humani ties and the natural sciences, remains the single largest di vision within the university. Supplementing the offer ings in the liberal arts and sciences, and drawing heav ily on them, are the seven professional schools on the Eugene campus. These in clude the schools of architec ture and allied arts, business administration, e d u c a t i on, health and physical educa tion, journalism, law and mu sic. In Portland are the medi cal and the dental schools. Quality Education Quality education is the keynote at the university. In the words of President Wil son, "all decisions are made on the assumption that in the state of Oregon, our primary concern is for quality educa tion." Toward this end, the university is assembling an outstanding faculty and de veloping its facilities as rap Idly as funds permit. While the future calls for the university to remain a major cetner of liberal arts education, and the profession al schools are destined to strengthen and grow, the most rapid . expansion will take place in two vital areas. One of these is at the gradu ate level. The other is in the area of research. As outlined by John R. Richards, chancellor of the state system of higher educa tion, the university will expe rience particularly rapid growth in these two areas. The increased emphasis on upper division and graduate work will not, however, come at the expense of the lower division, or freshman and sophomore, program. These will remain strong. . . Graduate Enrollment However, as it takes longer and longer to educate stu dents, because of the in creased complexity of learn ing, more and more students are ?oing to be enrolled to upper division and graduate areas. Already the university has more graduate students' enrolled than any school in the state. It is in research that the most exciting advances will be made. Since the end of World War II, the university has had an increasingly effec tive science program, with heavy emphasis on basic or i'pure" research. This is the research that seeks to unravel nature's secrets, rather than attempting to apply present knowledge to new uses. As such, it is basic to all human progress, particularly ad vances into the unknown. A case in point is the new Institute of Molecular Biol ogy which is bringing to the university some of the na tion's leading biologists to press the search for new knowledge in this field. Practical Side There is a practical side to this increased emphasis on research. Not only does it provide Oregon youth .with vital facilities for study, and distinguished Jteachers, but it serves as a new industry in Oregon. As research becomes more and more important to civilization, more and more research funds will be made available to colleges and uni- Quick-fo-Sew Duo other versities by governmental agencies and by private groups. At the present time, the university has research con tracts totaling $770,163.25. Included here are contracts with the National Science Foundation, Public Health Servcie, Atomic Energy com mission, U.S. Army Ord nance, U.S. Navy, Internation al Cooperation administra tion, Ford ' Foundation, Kel logg Foundation and others. This total is expected to in crease dramatically in the years ahead, reaching into the millions. As-with other educational institutions, the greatest prob lem facing the university in the years ahead is one of money. To maintain a distin guished faculty requires a sal ary schedule competitive with other schools. Student Housing To house more than 12,000 students and to provide them with adequate facilities will require a building program which over the next 10 years wil cost more than $33,000,- 000. Of, that figure, almost $16,000,000 will be state funds. Despite these problems, President Wilson is confident that solutions will be found. "Perhaps the soundest basis for our optimism is the fact that, during . the past two years, we have been .success ful in adding to our faculty a gratifying number of distin guished scholars. Unfortu nately we have not had equal success in meeting our build ing needs. But we are confi dent these things will fol low." "Meanwhile we will con tinue in our work, finding our strength in the knowledge that the people of Oregon are committed to the idea that educated men and women are essential to our way of life." Music Broadcasts Start on FM Radio Channel in Medford Radio station KBOY began regular music broadcasts Fri day evening on its new fre quency modulation channel on 95.3 megacycles. It is the val ley's first FM station and has an effective raSiated power measured at 795 watts. For the present, the FM broadcasts will begin each evening at the time KBOY's regular AM broadcast day ends, according to Clarence E. Wilson, owner. He said 'FM has been de scribed as the hi-fi of radio broadcasting techniques. In its earlier day FM was largely neglected because it was laun ched under the shadow of tele vision." KBOY's four-bay antenna is mounted on the top section of its 326-foot tower. Initial en gineering test"- broadcasts showed showed satisfactory signal coverage of the entire Medford area, including lis tener reports from Central Point, Talent, Ashland, Jack sonville and points west. In fringe areas an antenna will be necessary to receive the new FM signal, Wilson stated. Daily stereophonic broadcasts will be made, us ing both .AM and FM signals, upon arrival of additional equipment. All FM programming on the station will be character ized by a maximum of music and a minimum of conversa tion, Wilson said, with dance music Friday and Saturday evenings, excerpts from the classics Sunday evenings, and mixed music Monday through Thursday evenings. "The new service is the product of more than a year's planning and engineering work," he stated. "The recent rush into FM broadcasting all over the United States caused temporary shortages of equipment which delayed the completion of the KBOY installation for more than two months." KBOY staff members have visited and studied FM opera tions from Portland to Los Angeles. Commercial sponsor ship at the local station is to be offered as soon as FCC acceptance of "proof-of-per-formance" test data is ascer tained. Listeners to the new chan nel must have an FM radio or an FM tuner attached to their regular radio, phono graph, TV set or amplifier. 9072 SIZES 1018 In in'He'ffl&f For either side of 5 o'clock -a wand-slim sheath that takes shelter under its high fashion jacket.

Crater Students Get FFA Degrees Corvallis-John Caster and Don Ryan, Crater High school .students, and Truman Elmore, Applegate, were awarded state farmer degrees Friday at the 31st state convention America at Oregon State col lege. Elmore is a student at Grants Pass high school. Seventy-six Future Farmers from 42 Oregon high school chapters have been named 1959 winners of the degree, highest state honor for high school boys taking agricul ture. To qvfalify, boys must prove outstanding in their farming program and in chapter ac tivities. Judging is based on supervised farming activities, accomplishments in the chap ter, and knowledge of farm ing and FFA work. The number is limited each year to 2 per cent of the total state membership. Oregon has 3,776 members in 89 high school chapters. The state farmer keys are presented each year by the Oregon Bankers Association. Two other boys from the Rogue Umpqua district receiv ing the award were Lane Pritchett, Grants Pass, and Jim Ross.

A member who could have played Colonel1 Blimp without a bit of makeup looked up from his military gazette and humphed, "I say, Niven. They tell me you're about to leave us." "On the contrary, sir," said Niven. "I'm just back. I've been in America." "Extra ordinary," mused the mem ber. "Never knew we had a base there." "But we do!" countered Niven. "It's called Fort Goldwyn and I was confined to barracks there for 15 solid years." Out rageous," grunted the mem ber, turning back to his gazette.

Kelly for burglary with explosives. On July 27, 1955, Crow pleaded guilty to the charges before J. K. Hanna, then Jackson county circuit court judge. On Aug. 3, 1955, Judge Hanna sentenced Crow to an indeterminate period in the Oregon state penitentiary not to exceed 25 years. In September, 1958, Crow filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus alleging illegal imprisonment by not being accorded due process of law. Crow stated that the crime he was charged with was too vague and indefinite and the court was prejudiced by mis information submitted to the trial judge by the Jackson county district attorney as re garding prior record and care lessness in that respect. This in turn influenced the sen tencing, he charged. On Jan. 21, Circuit Judge Val Sloper allowed the writ be allowed and ordered Crow remanded to the Jackson county sheriff for re-setenc-ing. On an. 23, 1959, Judge Kelly appointed Paul W. Hav- iland, Medford, counsel and ordered a pre-sentence investi gation. Delbert Lee Crow, an accomplice, had received an identical sentence and is now in the Oregon state peniten tiary. The two men were charged with burglarizing Mason Ehrman wholesale distribut or's warehouse on Sage rd., Medford, on July 27, 1955.
