A Crisis In Our Development Without touching on the matter of the legal annual maintenance of $125,000, the Board of Regents recommends to the legislature a special appropriation for the two years, 1911 and 1912, of $409,418.92. Of this budget, the largest items are a new administration building, maintenance of the Medical College, land an increased salary roll for instructors. The remainder of the amount covers di verse, hut necessary, changes and im provements essential to the adequate development and growth of the Univer sity. I lie lull for this appropriation is be ing drafted, and will soon be put before ■the legislature for passage, rejection or amendment. Upon the lawmakers’ ac tion depends, not merely the welfare of the University for the ensuing bienni um, but there is also involved the ques tion of the permanent and lasting char acter of the University of Oregon. All the needs expressed in the Re gents’ recommendation are real, and not to !«■ disregarded. To deny them will seriously cripulc the work of the va rious departments. As the report states, more instructors must be engaged, and the salaries of the present force raised, or the standard of teaching will suffer inevitably. The present cramped quar ters of the administration department are intolerable and totally inadequate, and so it is with all departments. We have simply outgrown our present quar- . ters and equipment, which belong to a former epoch of University building. Should the legislature reject or se- j riously reduce through amendment, de priving the University of these press ing and immediate needs, it will mean the permanent crippling of efficiency, for now is the crisis As President Camp bell states in his report, the state of Ore gon is entering upon a new era of wealth, development and building, and is discarding the old ideas of equipment and support—the standard of living is rising Other Northwest colleges are keeping abreast <\f this movement, and if this college falls behind and remains cramped, hampered and poverty stricken, it will suffer not a temporary, but a permanent and irreparable loss of effiffi- * cieucv and prestige. Our needs are real and immediate. Four, or even two. years from now will be too late If a niggardly policy he followed till then, and our requirements not satisfied, the University will suffer serious injury, an iniurv that will per manently lower it- standard, ruin its effectiveness, and largely destroy tits prestige Now is the crucial time.

This contest, which v^gs scheduled for Friday, has been postponed until next Tuesday at 7 -00 P. M. At that time four men will be chosen to meet teams from Stanford and Washington; and the most effective debater will be award ed the alumni medal. The tryout last night was so close that the judges had difficulty in reach ing ia decision. They at last decided to allow eight, instead of six, of the con testants to enter the final contest. There will hv a hard fight on next Tuesday, and the debaters are expecting a large crowd out to urge them on. i INTER COLLEGIATE DE BATE COUNCIL MEETS The executive committee of the Inter collegiate Oratorical Association will hold a business meeting in Villard Hall next Saturday at 2:30 P.

RUMOR EXAGGERATES REPORTS OF SICKNESS Of the five men who have appeared on the sick list within the last ten days, Barzee still has a badly swollen lip, not one is suffering from typhoid, the result of an inter-frat game last week, but, aside from his indisticnt ar ticulation, he is doing quite well. Fiser, who was reported to be down with ap pendicitis, is back at school, but will not be able to take his usual part in ath letics for some time. An abdominal muscle has been severely torn, and it is feared that this will deprive the Varsity of a good many points in the pole vault this coming spring. Three Sigma Chi men, who were thought to have typhoid, are now known to be suffering from raither hard at tacks of la grippe. Martin Hawkins is at the Eugene hospital, while Parks and Brown are at their homes in Junction City and Portland. All three are ex pected back ait school shortly. In connection with the typhoid scare, it was rumored that the Sigma Chi» would close down their house. Members of the fraternity, however, when inter viewed on this question, deny the re port most emphatically. President David Starr Jordan, of Stanford University, has opened up a course in “International Arbitration” at that institution, the first course of that nature ever offered in any educational institution in the country. Harry Cash, one of last year s Em erald reporters, is in California pick ing oranges. Oregon ! Here’s Success To You! The House"furnishers 475 Willamette St., near Fostoffice.
