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.

DAVID NIVEN loves to tell the story of the day he made his
triumphant return to his exclusive Pall Mall club in Lon
don after years of starring in Hollywood. 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. "You must lodge a formal
protest with the rules committee!"

Bishop Sheen says he's noticed one thing all television contracts
have in common: 'The big print giveth and the small print taketli

10-Year Sentence
Given Glen Crow
Glen Eugene Crow, 34, Fri
day afternoon, was sentenced
to the Oregon state peniten
tiary by Circuit Court Judge
Edward C. 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.
They were charged with tak
ing currency and coin from
a safe.
