PROFS. WOULD HELP
STATE LEGISLATUEiE
Young and McAlister in Colloquium
Discuss Extension Work of
University.
Aid from the universities to the
state legislatures in questions involv
ing sociology and economics, and en
gineering, was the topic developed by
Professors Y’oung and McAlister be
fore the Faculty Colloquium last
Tuesday evening.
Professor Y'oung told how difficul
ties in the performing of legislative
work have rendered the present law
making so inefficient that in half of
the states direct legislation has either
been adopted or is in process of be
ing adopted. The difficulty of seeing
light through the present complexity
of business organization and combi
nation, he claimed, is as great as that
of the courts would be without cases
serving as precedents. To meet these
hardships, he said, reference bureaus
for legislators have been for many
years included in state library ma
terials; but about a decade ago a
special bureau was established in
Wisconsin to secure more active serv
ice in lawmaking.
The success of this departure under
Dr. Charles McCarthy, has caused
more than half of the states of the
Union to follow Wisconsin’s plan.
Although Oregon has a similarly
organized bureau, the department of
Economics and Sociology is attempt
ing to bring more of the constructive
and creative element into the service
by placing on exhibition at the State
House a collection of charts and out
lines embodying analyses of coming
state problems. This move on the
part of the University has received
much favorable notice.
Professor McAlister outlined the
plans of the Engineering department.
Students in Civil and Electrical En
gineering classes may do practical
work in summers by ascertaining de
finitely the power resources of various
Oregon rivers in profile surveys, and
by working out plans for developing
the available power sites.
IMIRirNOMINATE
An Alternative of Attending Each
Meeting or Paying Fine is
Proposed.
If the plan proposed at the Laurean
meeting last Tuesday evening is car
ried out, every member of the society
will lie reouired to sign the agree
ment, which was circulated several
weeks ago, in which each signer
pledges himself to be present at each
meeting and to take part when as
signed a place. Failure to do these
things subjects him to a fine of twen
ty-five cents. No definite action was
taken in the matter but it will be de
cided later.
The following nominations were
made for the coming term of office:
President, Otto Heider, Walter Kim
mel; vice-president, Fred Hardesty,
James Donald; secretary, Luton Ack
erson; assistant secretary, Mandell
Weiss, Martel Mickey; treasurer,
Earl Blackaby, Bert Lombard, Wil
liam Holt; censor, David Pickett;
sergeant-at-arms, W. C. Foster, Sam
’ Wise, Mandell Weiss.
TRYOUT IS POSTPONED
Debators (liven a Chance to Orate—
T'tah Debate is Considered
Impossible.
The inter-state oratorical try-out
has been postponed to March 15. in
order to accommodate debators who
desire to enter. A larger number will
probably compete in this contest than
in the inter-collegiate try-out. Among
those who will compete are Carlton
Spencer, Oregon's representative last
year, Howard Zimmerman, winner of
this year’s inter-collegiate try-out,
Otto Heider. Maurice Hill. David
Pickett, Dal King, and James Donald.
Professor Prescott desires that all
women intending to try out for places
for the Co-ed debate with Washing
ton report to him this week, so that
arrangements for the;, first try-out
may be made.
