Increases
Will Aid
Veterans
Only veterans taking full-time
courses in schools or collegesestimated at 15,000 in OregonWill be entitled to increas•es in
.subsistence allowances when these
go . into effect April 1, Wayne
Smith, Veterans Administration
training officer in this area, explains.
Under Senate Bill No. 1394, signe~ into law by the president on
February 14, part-time stud,ents,
on-the-job trainees, farm trainees and others will not receive the
subsistence boosts, Mr. Smith said.
The act amends both the G.I. Bill
and Public Law 16 for the disabled, the VA has advised Mr.
Smith.
New payments will be at the
monthly rates of $75 fo,r a student
veteran wthout dependents, $105
· for the veteran with one dependent and $120 for the ex-G.I. with
more than one dependent.
• The higher rates will apply to
training periods on April 1. However, since subsist,2nce checks are
not due until the end of the
month, most eligibles will not ac. tuany· receive bigg,er checks until
May 1, or shortly thereafter.
Subsistence at the old ra}es of
$65 and $90 will continue to go to
veterans in any of the following
types of training:
(1)
Part - time institutional
training;
(2) Institutional onthe-farm training; (3) Apprenticeship or other on-the-job ,training for which earnings are paid;
(4) Combination or cooperative
training in which students attend
school part-time and work parttime; (5) Interneship and residency training; (6) Graduate
training under a fellowship requiring a reduoed credit courseload because of services rendered under the fellowship.
Veterans now in school, who are
entitled to the new $75 or $105
rates will receive the increases
automatically, based on existing
VA records. Mr. Smith advised
that those students therefore need
not write to the VA at the present
time about their increases.
Students er/titled to $120 a
month because they have more
than one dependent must turn in
information about their additional dependents before payments t,t
the $120 rate can be made.
For dependent children, a photostat or certified copy of the
public record of birth will be
necessary. In the c'lse of dependent natents, evidence of actual depend•mcy must be submitted.
If veterans now in training submit evidence of dependency prior
to July 1, they will r,~eive retroactive payments at the new rates
back to April 1, Mr. Smith added.

Students Given
Audio Exams
All students at the Monmouth
training school were given individual tests to determine their
hearing efficiency. The audiometer
tests were given by Miss Rebecca
Overstreet on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 17 and 18.
Of the 299 students tested in
the training school, 23 were adjudged deficient in hearing.
Throughout the state approximately four per cent of all the
students tested have impaired
hearing.
Miss Overstreet is one of four
state audiometrists who cover Oregon each year presenting hearing
tests in the schools. Attempts are
made each year to re-test those
students who are deficient in
hearing so that their improvement, if any, can be determined.

Bill McArthur: All-Round Athlete;
Plans Work on Degree this Summer
by Evelyn Marsh
Football, including professional
playing, holds · a major place in
the life of William "Bill" McArthur. coach at OCE, bull he explains that the purpose of his
professional career was to gain
background for football coaching,
which has always been !his ambition. While a student at Santa
Barbara State college he was a
Little All-American halfback and
was also voted captain and the
most valuable player for both
football and track.
Being graduated from Santa
Barbara in 1939, Mr. McArthur
coached for a season at Wilson
high school in Long Beach, California, and then in 1941 enrolled
at the University of Oregon
where he completed work for his
masters' degr~ in physical education. Here again track claimed
some of his attention, and he was
high-point man for two years at
the Sigma Delta Psi track meet.
He was called to the service in
1942 and, having taken up flying
while a senior in colleg>e and accumulated enough hours for an
instructor's ticket, he became an
instructor in p rim a r y flight
training for army cadets at Randolph Field, Texas. How-ever, he
then transferred to the Air Transport command and, through service with this group was able to
see all campaign theatres of the
war although, he explains, "I
never had anybody shooting at
me."
While in New Delhi, India,
Coach McArthur was called to the
D.S. to play the 1945 season of
football for the Air Transport
Command team and ended the
season as leading ground-gainer
for the Air Forces league with an
average of 9.2 yards for each
time he carried the ball.
After his release from the service with the rank of lieutenant,
he received offers from the New
York Yankees, the Chicago Bears,
and the Chicago ROckets and finally signed with the Rockets for
the 1946 season. Early in the season, however, he was injured and
after his release from the hospital, was made west coast repreisentative in charge of scouting
and publicity in Los Angeles and
San Francisco.
His work at Monmouth is the
first experience with coaching in
college, and he plans to make
such work his career. Having accumulated 95 out of the required
120 hours for his doctorate, he
expects to continue work on it
during the summer.
Since flying is one of his greatest interests, Coach McArthur
spends much time at the local
airport during week-ends. Also
liking swimming and surfing, and
golf, he explains that he really
enjoys most sports.
NUMBER 16
Students
Discuss
Problems
'
Problems and the progress of
student body affairs were brought
into focus at a meeting of the
associated stud,ents in Campbell
!hall auditorium last Wednesday
evening. Following is a brief account of the things discussed at
the session.
Al Thi!lssen, financial secretary,
reported that at the present time
the student body; is $2000 in debt.
"The increased fee which will g0
into effect at the beginning of the
first summer session should aid
in the payment of debts and allow us to break even at the end
of the seeond se11Sion," he stated.
The po.ssiblity of having insurance to cover accidents occurring on the campus was presented by ward Stanley. He revealed
that insurance could be obtained
if the accidents occurred during
class time or when ari instructor
was present. This was not felt to
be adequate coverage, however,
because it did not cover such
things as intramural games and
similar activities.
Allan Petersdorf, ASOCE president, read a letter from Mrs. Dessa Hofstetter, college librarian. In
the letter she gave the reasons for
the inability of the library to
stay open longer, the main one
being because of the lack of funds
appropriated in the library budget
to pay for the extra help that
would be necessary. Comparative
information about the library
hours in the three colleges of education is posted on the library
bulletin board. Tom Putman,
Elinor Winther, and Mort Howard
were appointed to look into the
possibilities of having more money allotted for student help in the
library.
"Work on the fireplace in the
Rec. hall is scheduled to begin
this week," announced Petersdorf.
Bids for the snack bar and booths
are awaiting the approval of the
state board of control.
This year's Grove was allowed
only half the subsidy ($300) it
was allowed last year. Despite this
the editor and manager forsee a
surplus of funds this year. It was
pointed out that this was the result of hard work on the part of
Charles Smith, Grove business
manager, and the other members
of the staff.
The president promised more
information o n t h e proposed
change in the constitution. Because of the stepped-up athletic
program it is felt that such a
chang,e is needed.
A committee composed of the
house presidents was appointed to
investigate further the possibility
of obtaining one o'clock leave for
the girls on Saturday evenings.
Wally Agee, school yell leader,
gave a brief talk on the attitude
of spectators at .recent basketball
games.
Although the gathering at the
meeting was very small, the students present displayed an interest in student body affairs and,
from all appearances, left the
meeting well informed.

Authorization of the third high
school teacher-training course in
driver education and training, to
be held in Oregon next August,
was recently announced by officials of the Oregon State Motor
Association.
The American Automobile Association has approved the dates
of August 23-28 for the course
and has agreed ·to send Professor
Amos F. Neyhart, AAA driver
training specialist to Oregon to
conduct the course.
Professor Neyhart completed a
second course in Portland the
-ek of February 2-6, at. which 29
teachers were trained. The first
course was held in August of 1947
with 94 persons trained.
"Indications from school officials are that there will be .a need
for still more trained teachers to
direct the driver training program in this state next year," the
Motor Association said. "Now that
Oregon formally recognizes driver training courses in the high
school curriculum and the state
system of higher education accepts high school credit in driver
education as part of college entrance requir-ements, there will be
many more schools wishing to
offer this course.
"Schools that now give the
course, in many instances, wish
to add more trained teachers to
meet the demand on the part of
students and parents for this
course. Therefore, it has been decided to offer the third teachertraining course this corning summer.,,
The August cou~se will be sponsol'ed, as in the past, by the Oregon State System of Higher Education. It will be the same 40hour course carrying three graduate or undergraduate credits for
teachers.

around here. A few broken windows seem to be showing also...
The other day Don Ranis wound
up and let go with a terrific pitch.
The ball bounced in the middle
of the str,eet and Miss Dale caught
it-right in the back of the neck
-. . You can come out from behind the bushes now, Don!

From the looks of things around

Beethoven Music
To Be Featured
Compositions of Beethoven including his Choral (Ninth) Symphony and the Pathetique Piano
Sonata in O Minor will be featured at the. music hour Tuesday,
February 24, at 8 p.m. in the
music room at Jessica Todd hall.
The Choral Symphony is the
only one in which Beethoven used
a chorus and solo quartet, these
being introduced in the last
movement. At the time of the
first performance of the symphony in 1884, Beethoven was totally deaf and so was unable to
judge for himself the tonal e·ffect
of the work, but the enthusiastic
response of the audience gave
evidence of its worth.
The program for the music
hour is compiled by Bill Holman,
and all students are invited to attend. Knitting, or even studying
or darning, as Mrs. Barrows
sometimes does, is acceptable.
During the short intermission at
about 9 o'clock, refreshments are
served.
Married Couples
Plan Pot-Luck
Salad, a hot dish, or rolls and
butter will guarantee admission
to the pot-luck dinner being given
for mar ried students and faculty
members in the Monmouth city
hall at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
February 25.
The planning committee, composed of Lois Gordon Jones, Joan
Davis, and Mary Mullin, has
scheduled a movie and get-ac-
quainted games for the evening's
program.

West House tore into Arnold
Arms II Monday night and came
out with a 50 to 25 win. Bill Floyd
was high point man with 14 tallies. But now that we are out of
the running in the basketball
league we have started formulating plans for the softball league
that will be coming up soon. We
have some red-hot boys here, so
watch out, everyone!

Coach Bob Knox's basketball aggregation sent
the Willamette Bearcats into a tailspin since the Salem· team lost here 60-58 on Friday the 13th ! The
following evening the Bearcats lost to Vanport 4338. They lost Monday to Portland U. 61-41 and Friday 42.:38 to College of Puget Sound f One might
add that Willam~tte's "greatest team in years" has
"had it."

Although the Wolves didn't win over a third of
their basketball games this season, they can point
out the fact that they won three decisions from
Northwest Conference teams-Willamette, Lewis &
Clark, and Pacific university. Bob McKee, captain
arid guard, turned in one of the finest defensive performances of the season when he held Bob Johnson,
Northwest Conference scoring leader, to one field
goal during the Willamette-OGE thriller.
§ § § §
Southern Oregon's Red Raiders recently added
the Far ,Wes tern Conference title to their long collection of victories. The Raiders won 15 and dropped one in conference play. The Far West Conference is composed of Chico State, San Francisco
State, Humboldt State, California Aggies, and
Southern Oregon college. Southern Oregon tied Cal.
Aggies for the football title and now have annexed
the basketball pennant.

Our basketballers clash with the Red Raiders
at Ashland tonight and tomorrow night. The classy
Ashland club whipped the Wolves twice on the Monmouth floor earlier in the season and are favored
to repeat. However, if the home towners "dig-in"
like they did against Willamette, they might upset
the applecart.

65 to 58
1'<. det:;1·mined, sharp-shooting
Wolf basketball team knccked
over Easte1n Oregon's Mountaineers here Saturday night 65-58 tc
gain an ev•en break in the twogame series. The LaGrande cagers won Friday's contest, 63-58
,,, Marv Hiebert tossed in two
field goals to start the OCE club
on their comeback trail. The visitors tied the score three minutes
later, but Buckley and !Hebert
found the hoop for three fast
baskets and the Wolves were off
to the races.
Easts·rn Oregon, led by Coleman and Gerry, cut down an
eight-point lead to a mere two
points at half-time, as the Monmouth five led 35-33 at tbe rest
period.
After missing their first shot at
the basket to open the second
half, the Wolves suddenly began
hitting from all angles. Hamer,
McKe~, and Baglien ran up the
score to 50-35 before the bewildered visitors could pull themselves
together. In this flurry of pointmaking the white-hot OCE club
scored six successive field goals
without a miss. ,
.
Coleman, Eastern Oregon deadeye, began peppering the hemp
and with the aid of Gerry brought
the OCE bulge down to five points
with less than three minutes to
play. At this point Hamer and
Baglien each scored to wrap up
the ball game.
Coleman collected seven baskets from the floor and four freethrows to lead all scorers with 18
points. Hamer took high honors
for the winners with 15.
OCE had a big edge in "shooting percentage" by sinking 26 out
of 58 attempts from the field
while the Mountaneers hit 22
goals in 82 tries. Box scores:

Mountainee_rs Tip INTRAMURAL
Wolves 63a58 .
OCE's hard-luck Wolves lost
contact with the hoop for eight
minutes in the ,second half after
holding a 41 to 33 lead and the
Mountaineers from E 1stern Oregon College of Education rallied
to go ahead and win a 63 to 58
casaba o::mtest on the OCE floor
Friday night.
Harrel Smith, Wolf forward,
paced the local five to· a 34 to 29
lead at the half. Smit'rls deadly
one-handers accounted for seven
field goals in t'I¥! first session. He
left the floor on fouls early in the
last half.
The Wolves looked as if they
intended to run the visitors off
the floor as the Monmouth club
ran up seven points before the
LaGrande squad could get started - then the
aforementioned
slump occurred.
Captain Bob McKee, who is
usually the Wolves' .most consistent scorer, scored but one field
basket. McKee played a great
floor game, but his shooting appeared to carry too much "English'" as the ball would go in the
hoop only to spin out again.
Nolan, Mountaineer guard, sagged the hemp for 16 markers to
take scoring honors for the evenng. Smith was a close second
with 15 for the losers.
Lilly and Gerry each ran in 14
points to help the LaGrande quintet win their third straight game
from OCE this season.
Jack McElravy, OCE center,
scored 13 counters, mostly on long
push-shots from back of the keyhole. Box scores:
