(UPI Telephoto) Warm Indian Summer Said Mot Unusual by State Meteorologist . Corvallis - The warm, dry Indian Summer days of mid October may hivi seemed "extra special" this year, but the truth is that, they come ilong about 80 per cent of the time between Och 11 and 20 In the mid-Willamette valley, according to research meteor ologist William P. Lowry. - Lowry is in charge of me teorology studies for the Ore-. Kon Forest Research center in Corvallis and teaches part time at Oregon State college. His special field of interest is "unseasonable" weather, and it isn't half as unseason able as memories of folks would have you believe from year to year, he emphasizes. The "seasonal" shifts have some interesting patterns, however. Middle 10 Days The middle 10 days in Oc tober, 'for example, have a better chance of being dry than either the first or last 10 days of the month, he has noted, 'in comparisons for Sa lem, Medford, Redmond, Pen dleton, Portland, Tillamook, North Bend and Ukiah. i, In' Salem, chances of rain between Oct. 11 to 20 are 44 out of 100, he figures. During Oct. 1 to 10 and 21 to 31, the chances are 54 put of 100. Chances of day temperatures above 60, on. the other hand, are 82 per cent for the middle 10 days; 80 for the first 10 days;, but only 49 for Oct. 21 to 31. Chances' for cold weather Increase markedly .after Oct. 21 in most Willamette valley and Central Oregon areas. The break between the late sum mer days and the cold ones that signal, "winter's coming" is about, Nov. ..1. in northeast ern Oregon areas. - ' - ' Odds for days above 80 de grees are about 70 out of 100 in mid-October in Pendleton, but only 15 in 100 from Nov. 1 to 10. ' ' '- .. ; High Pressure Cell y ,. The weather shifts associat ed with the end of Indian Summer come each 'year as the high pressure cell in the North Pacific Ocean' retreats tn the southwest, allowing mi grating storms to come far ther south than they have earlier in the year., Important weather changes are more abrupt, of course, as you move away from the ocean, Lowry pointed out. Weather changes across Ore gon ' are considerably less abrupt than in most other sec tions of the country, he added. Along the Coast, weather shifts are gradual because the ocean acts as a giant thermo stat, Lowry says. . Poor References - - i Memories are poor refer ences for weather compart sons, Lowry pointed out. Ex ceptionally bad years - espe cially if they had economic importance - stand out in peo ple's minds and are used as a yardstick for evaluating cur rent weather. And while he doesn't' want to belittle this year's fine mid October weather, it was not "unusual," Lowry concludes. His climatology studies for the Forest Research center in Corvallis are made as a guide for operational planning by forest managers and workers. Publications are available on request. Along with the re search;' Lowry teaches the course in theoretical meteorol ogy in the OSC physics depart ment. Oregon State Freshman Class Said To Be Well Prepared Corvallis-This -year's fresh man class at Oregon State college gives every indication of being the "best prepared" in OSC history, President A. L. Strand says, and he gives some credit to Sputnik but most to Oregon high schools "that have made giant gains in the past three years." Dr. Strand terms the up grading in high school train ing "the most important thing that has happened in educa tion in my 18 years as presi dent of Oregon State." Sputnik was fired just three years ago, the OSC leader noted, and helped set off a program of educatipnal emphasis and improvement throughout the country. High schools 'in Oregon have re sponded with particular speed and success and deserve spe cial commendation for their work, President Strand em phasized. . : As evidence of improved preparation, Dr. Strand points to the record scores made by freshmen on the mathematics placement examination; to in creases in the number, of stu dents in the science honors program; to decreases in the number in remedial courses; and to school of engineering figures that show a very -high capability . for , an entering group. The new freshmen also ap pear to be "more serious" and "Intent on their studies," he added. The average freshman at OSC this fall had a high school grade average of 2.86, or just under a B . which would be 3 points. Registrar D. T. Ordemen reports. 'Significantly Better' , Performance of new fresh men in the mathematics place ment examinations this fall was "significantly better than ever before." Upper scores on BLANKS CALLED FOR Memphis, Tenn. -flJPD-Night-club entertainer Thomas Rock Mack, 20, was fined $26 and damages Wednesday for acci dentally shooting out a $60 hotel room mirror while prac ticing his "fast draw." the tests were from 8 to -10 points higher than last year and more than twice as many students qualified for ad vanced placement in calculus and analytic geometry. Place ment tests are given to help determine for which classes or sections of classes students are best prepared. The science honors pro gram, designed to give espe cially able students an op portunity to go "faster and farther" in college, also had a big increase in the dumber of new freshmen who quali fied and were picked to par ticipate. There were 52 fresh men in the program last fall when it was started; this year there are 86. . ; , v Not Much Question : George Gleeson, dean ' of engineering, says there isn't much question that the "qual ity of new freshmen is go ing up. The drop-out of stu dents from engineering courses is far smaller than usual, he noted, indicating better, preparation. - In the past, Gleeson ' has WARDS MONTGOMERY W A R O 117 S.
