ORLANDO HOLLIS, Acting President OLDING the center of attention this year was the University's extensive postwar building schedule which gained interest after completion of the Army Specialized Training Program on the cam- pus. When students returned fall term, all the khaki- clad platoons were gone with the exception of 26 pre-med soldier students. Administrators and students took an active inter- est in planning for the great number of men expected to attend the University after release from the armed forces. Already more than 100 veterans have re- turned to resume their prewar studies and have created the realization that more adequate accommo- dations are necessary in the future. Enrollment is ex- pected to rise so rapidly that dormitories and class- rooms can hardly be completed soon enough. Plans have been formulated for five biennial ap- propriations totaling Sl,645,000 to provide a new classroom and laboratory buildingg additions to the Music Buildingg remodeling of Villard Hall, a new speech and dramatic arts building, additions to Com- merce, Condon, and Oregon l-lallsg and two new wings for the library. The Donald M. Erb Memorial Union Building and additions to the women's dormi- tories will be financed by the student building fees, donations, and gifts. ISCUSSION of the postwar era at Oregon be- came more concrete when Dr. W. V. Norris of the physics department returned from an extensive tour of schools throughout the nation collecting infor- mation on student union buildings. ln this fourth year of war there was an ll percent increase in registration with many veterans returning to college via the Cl Bill of Rights and the Veterans' Rehabilitation Act. Winter term l-larry K. Newburn, dean of the Col- lege of Liberal Arts at Iowa State University, was ap- pointed president of the University of Oregon to suc- ceed the late Dr. Donald M. Erb. Dean Newburn will assume his new duties July l, l945, taking over the desk in Johnson l-lall vacated by Acting President Orlando l-lollis, dean of the law school.
