Burr II, professor or military science at the U of O. Last year the Army carried on test programs in several institutions with women parti cipating in Army ROTC. As a result, the decision was made to open enrollment to women in all institutions where the in stitutional head requested it. Colonel Burr said that he does not plan any major changes when the program becomes co-edu- cationai. The same courses in leadership and management that now are given to men will be given to prospective women of ficers. The women cadets will wear Army WAC uniforms with the same modifications in insignia that male cadets wear. Women will take the Army WAC standard basic physical proficiency tests, instead of the men's standard basic physical proficiency tests. Other than that, there will be no differences. Colonel Burr said. Women will be eligible for Army scholarships the same as men. A flrst-year woman en tering next fall may apply for the 3-yearscholarshipthatpro- vldes tuition, text books and laboratory fees, plus an allo wance of $100 per month for the period that the scholarship is in effect. Next year's high school seniors may apply for the regular four-year scholar ships. Colonel Burr pointed out the 20 women in the test programs held during 1972-73 have re ceived scholarships. While Colonel Burr does not have any estimate of what the response of women will be to opening ARMY ROTC to them, he says that in recent months the Military Science Depart ment at the U of O has re ceived inquiries from more than 50 women. The Air Force ROTC has been accepting women for two years. The U of O Depart ment of Aerospace Studies cur rently has two women enrolled in its program. see her in gersen iHtet MADALIA Sl'IRITl KI RI ADI R à ADVISOR God-given Power ol Prayei Don't Compare Mo With Any Other Reader There it no problem so great that die can I solve Tell» you how to hold your iob. when you have failed and how lo lucceed Calf» your friends and enemies by name without asking a single word Will tell you sour troubles and what to Jo -bool them II. unites the separated Upon reaching womanhood and realizing she had the God-given power lo heal she has devoted a life-time to this work Guaranteed to remove evil influences and bad luck One visit will convince you she it super kw to any other Reader you have ever seen Lafti you out ol sorrow and darkness and starts you on the wsy lo tucctM and happineu She it here fur the first tune in this vicinity - hat jut! come from India the land of muscle» You owe it to yourielf lo consult (hit gifted lady What Your Eyes See 17 S.W. 3rd Ave. Your Heart Wilt Believe Ontario, Oregon T anouj aomeona dear to you» Is aomaon« dear to you drinking too much» Do you «v«r g«t LONELY . . .

"The Owyhee Reservoir south of Ontario," Ullman told the subcommittee, "has become a leading recreation site in Oregon, judging by the Visitor load." He said recreational demand is surpassing available facili ties, and sought S 100,000 for more boat ramps, camping units and a water system. "I would like to point out to the subcommittee," Ullman said ' that the Silvles River Study in Harney county is sup posed to tie completed this year, and the Corps of Engineers will require $21,000 to finish this up." The study is to determine feasibility for a dam at Sil- vies Canyon to provide flood control, irrigation, recreation and back up for the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Ullman also suggested the subcommittee retain $640,000 in reserve for possible con struction of a flood control and recreation damonWillowCreek near Heppner, which was badly flooded two years ago. "Authorization to begin study ing the cost-benefit ratio of a major dam and reservoir in Grant county was approved in the last Congress," Ullman said. "I would like to ask that the subcommittee consider appropriating $46,000 to begin this study," he said. He noted that $155,000 has been budgeted for further study of the Walla-WallaandUmatilla Basin projects, and said he is hopeful re-study will clear up feasibility questions about these two projects.

Since 1910, the occasion had to be designated every year, rather than observed auto matically, like Mother's Day. How it became part of the calendar is an interesting story of angry battles in Congress and protest all across the land One of the most notable ef forts was launched by Senator Margaret Chase Smith who, in 1957, sent a proposal to Congress which read, in part "... The Congress has been guilty now for forty years of. the worst possible oversight, to say the least, perpetrated against the gallant father», young, and old, of our land... Either we honor both our parents, mothers and fathers, or let us desist from honoring either one... But to single out just one of our two parents and omit the other is the most Medicare Coverage To Be Extended, July 1 The 1972 Social Security Amendments extend Medicare coverage, beginning July 1,1973, to people under age 65 if it is medically determined that they have chronic kidney disease and require kidney dialysis or trans plant.

Anyone involved with kidney transplant or dialysis should contact the Social Security Of fice immediately.
