BRAND NEW OLD CARS Alan McEwan, Bellvue, Wash., polishes up his 1933 Rolls Royce Phantom 2 at a stopover at the City Center Motel Tuesday night on his way to the annual Rolls Royce Owners Club National Meeting at Lake Tahoe.

Julian Eccles, who owns one of these beauties, said he still gets a good 1 0 miles to the gallon. V THE OWL HOOTS By AL GEISS One of Oregon Tech's foremost expressions of appreciation this week goes to the Herald and (News. We feel that having an op portunity to present Oregon Tech's intimate and imxrtant happenings in our own way through this column is a real service to Oregon Tech and we 'hope to the people of this area also. We should mention that it :is far beyond the usual contri bution in similar situations. This is the final Owl Hoots col umn of the 1902-1963 school year 'and, incidentally, it is the end ;o( the third year which the Her ald and News has offered us this ; opportunity. Any hooting that this owl docs during the next month 'will be among the technical col leges in the eastern half of the United States where this writer win be conducting a survey. Alter the commencement ccrc fmonics on Friday, June 7, 282 newly-groomed - for - the world 'Oregon Tech graduates walked into that waiting world. Some times we feel that the successful accomplishment of two years of academic and financial obstacles at Oregon Tech is in itself a .valuable conditioning period for life comparable to the boot camp preparation for a military career. Graduation to most Oregon Tech students means acquiring a posi- tion in a field where they arc ;both qualified and interested and no less important a paycheck ach month. To some student wives it means tlic first new Idress in a long time and some spending money again for a rchangc. We oldsters can and probably must consider these problems in the light of the philo- President's Review of the Year. Jolin W. Snider commended the graduating class on behalf of the State Board of Higher Education. The Greatest Service Award was presented to Sarah F. Wolverton, Pasadena, Calif., and the Great Service Award to Harley Libby of Jefferson for their significant contributions to Oregon Tech. The afternoon ended with the presi dent's reception for parents and guests. Dr. R. W. Bingham, dean, Mechanical and Applied Sciences, has accepted an assignment as chief adviser for trade and tech nical education in the Sudan with Dunwoody Institute and US-AID. He will be given a two-year leave of absence from Oregon Tech to fill the position. The dean, with his wife, will go to Khartoum, Sudan, Africa, sometime this summer. "We arc extremely ex cited." Dean Bingham said. "In the first place, the position is a real challenge and, in the sec ond place, we are thrilled about the opportunity to travel in for eign countries. We will be doing Sort Spots In Roads, Wardell Warns Drivers Most of the roads leading into the streams and rivers of t h e hinterlands of Klamath County are open but the fisherman who onves along those dirt roads and isn't watchful of soft spots in them is sure to get stuck, George Wardell, supervisor of the Klam ath Forest Protective Association, cautioned motorists Saturday. wardell slated that access roads into Upper and Lower Long Creek and Deep Creek, in the King's Cabin area, have been cleared of fallen trees but por tions ot them may be impass' able. "Some of the roads are fine until you get to a soft spot. Then its too late you get stuck," War dell commented. Motorists were warned to be especially careful in the vicinity of Pole Butte, Camp Six, and the Sycan region. The roads are generally good in that area, but motorists are cautioned to use extreme care in using them. Roads have also been opened into Jenny, Johnson and Spencer creeks, near Kcno, but, as the other areas, should be traveled with caution, Wardell concluded LOEVINGER CONFIRMED WASHINGTON (UPI) Lee Loevinger was confirmed by the Senate Thursday to succeed New ton N.

Professor William Grimes re ceived word last week that he had been certified in the grade of Senior Engineering Technician. This certification by the National Society of Professional Engineers is a relatively new program and Oregon Tech feels that this is a real distinction forxG rimes. A person so certified is required to have had 15 years experience of a high-level detailed technical nature and the recommendation of three professional engineers.

Wandering Weldon Still Among Absentees At Zoo SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -Wandcrin' Weldon the wallaroo, a kangaroo-like creature which es caped last week from the San Francisco Zoo, is still keeping one jump ahead of tlie posse. The spritcly 75-pound animal has been seen several times since it hopped off on its oivn last Friday, but witnesses seldom got much more than a glance. Weldon vanishes with the speed of the wind and the bounce of a yo-yo. The wallaroo made its latest appearance Thursday morning, when the children of Eugene Ham ilton woke their parents at 6;30 a.m. with exclamations of "Hey, there's a kangaroo eating weeds in our backyard." The Hamiltotu notified zoo di rector Carey Baldwin, who raced to the scene in hopes of lassoing the critter. But Weldon bounced over a four-foot fence with case and went about doing whatever! wallaroos do when they have free time in San Francisco. Baldwin admitted that the task of returning Weldon to his home will not be an easy one, because the proper way to handle a wallaroo is to catch it by the tail and hold its feet off the ground. PLAN NO PROTEST ' WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States does not plan to protest to the Venezuela govern-: ment the raid on the U.S. mili tary mission office in Caracas by pro-Castro terrorists. r- Weldon is extremely fast, can bounce in any direction, and is capable of clearing a six-foot obstacle if he puts his mind to it. So what Baldwin needs is some one who is extremely fast, can bounce in any direction, is cap able of clearing six-foot obstacles. and can catch a wallaroo by the tail. The zoo director admitted he doesn't qualify but he intends to keep trying. Regular Meeting Cal-Ore Chapter Gold S t a I Chinchilla Asm Sunday, Juna 9 BE THERE! marching array.
