Educators Would Assist Students
Inland Universities Would Receive Citizens; School Children Big Problem

Continuation of educational facilities for Japanese students in universities and colleges, and for pupils in the elementary and high schools is being considered along the Coast.

At the University of Washington, students were registered last week at the Japanese Students Club under the direction of Robert O’Brien, assistant dean of arts and science. Of 400 probably evacuees, about 370 are Japanese Americans. Similar registration was held elsewhere.

A dispatch this week from Berkeley said that the University of California has queried 32 inland colleges and universities about probably (sic) transfer and that 14 thus have replied favorably. It was stipulated that the candidates must be American citizens. No aliens will be accepted.

In Los Angeles at a conference with authorities and educators, Gov. Culbert L. Olson approved the plan to transfer California seniors. Plans are being made to contact federal authorities for consent.

Prospective college students in local high schools were to meet this morning at Eagleson Hall on the University campus to discuss their future. Robert O’Brien of the University, and M.D. Woodbury of the University YMCA, who attended the Berkeley conference, will be present.
