MUNICIPAL RESEARCH
EXFIRT MAY BE HIRED
EXTENSION FORCE TO BE AUG
MENTED IF THE REGENTS
ACCEPT PROPOSED
PLAN
TO AID OREGON CITIES
Professor Young Has Conference With
Dr. Allen, Famous New York
Municipal Expert.
A field expert in civic efficiency and
municipal research may be added to
the extension force of the University
next year to work in conjunction with
the Department of Economics, if the
plans.of President P. L. Campbell for
the department are carried out.
It is the intention to have this ad
dition to the Commonwealth service
of the University aid the struggling
cities of Oregon to solve their admin
istrative and governmental problems.
To help them obtain the most econom
ical use of their resources, and to se
cure greater civic efficiency. The plan
will be presented to the Board of
Regents at their next meeting.
Prof. Young Confers With Allen.
Special impetus has been given the
plan by the visit to Portland of Wil
liam H. Allen, of New York city, the
famous expert in municipal research
and efficiency, and the originator of
the New York Bureau of Municipal
Research. Professor F. G. Young, of
the department of economics went to
Portland this morning to confer with
Mr. Allen in regard to the creation of
such a phase of University work, and
to consider possible men for the posi
tion.
Efforts are now being made in Port
land to raise $10,000, with which to
carry on a municipal research bureau
for one year, along the lines suggested
by Dr. Allen, in the hope that the re
sults may be the same as were real
ized in the city of New York, which
now privately supports such a bureau.
Efforts will be made to secure Wil
liam H. Allen as a Summer School
lecturer for the coming session, in or
der to prepare the ground for the pro
posed entrance of the University into
the field of civic efficiency.
FIVE COOS BAY CITIES TO
HEAR DR. SHAFER LECTURE
In connection with the University
extension work, Dr. Joseph Shafer will

on the subject of “A Feature in Edu
cation.” Dr. Shafer will begin his
lecture at North Bend, ending at
Bandon. He will talk at Myrtle
Point, Coquille, and Marshfield as
well.

White Buick Runabout Disturbs Reci
tations When Rolled Into Professor
Cole’s Room.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Seattle, March 13.—Students of
the law school at the Univer
sity of Washington aroused a
mild flurry yesterday morning when
they rolled a small automobile into the
classroom of Professor George E.
Cole. Men reciting in the class heard
a slight noise out in the hall, then the
door flew open with a bang and a
white Buick runabout came rolling
into the room.
The machine, which is the property
of James Bur son, a Freshman, had
been carried bodily up the steps and
into the hall of the law school build
ing. Then some wit had suggested
pushing the auto into the classroom,
which was promptly done.
Professor Cole was obliged to dis
miss his class and order the machine
carried out.

HEROISM IS COMMONPLACE
Names Heroism and Spirituality as
Great Qualifications for

Heroism and spirituality, Dr. Henry
Marcotte, pastor of the Westminster
Church of Portland,,gave as the two
qualifications for Christian ministry,
in his address at Assembly yesterday
morning.
“We need leaders to point us to the
great things of life,” he said. “Some
body to lift us above material things
and remind us that that is not all.
When a man has a chance to enjoy his
proper share of the world’s blessings,
to have his time for work and play
alike, that is not all. There is an un
seen world, and it is real, if men can
only be brought to understand it. And
that is the supreme effort of the min

Gets Friend from Education.
“The biggest thing I got from a

The sweetest sight I know of in my

MU DEBATES
WILL OCCUR 5001
With Less Than Three Weeks to Pre
pare, Oregon Debators Complete
Orations.
With the opening of Oregon’s debat
ng season less than three weeks dis
tant, the Oregon debators are concen
trating preparation for their finished
>rations. Oregon’s debating history
las gone in “two’s,” though this year
he debators propose to break tradi
ion. Last year Oregon lost to Wash
ngton and Stanford, after winning
rom both colleges for two consecu
tive years, but losing the two years
>receding. The two years of victory
vere those when the team was coached
>y Gustave Buchan. This year Bert
’rescott is coach. He is rounding the
lebaters into shape for the coming
ontests.
The Co-ed debators are attending
he nightly workouts to gain pointers
or their own debate. Howard Zim
nerman and Dal King will debate at
itanford. Vernon Motschenbacher
nd David Pickett will meet the Uni
ersity of Washington team at Eu
gene. The following week, April 5,
limmerman, Pickett, or Motschen
acher, will compose the team that
ebates Utah at Salt Lake City.
The same question will be debated
i the three contests and is stated,
Resolved, that the unskilled laborers
f the Slavonic, Hellenic, and Italic
aces of Southern and Southeastern
lurope should be excluded.
The committee which has been in
estigating the need for a system of
ormitories at the University of Wis
onsin, has reported in favor of the 1
lan. This committee maintains that i
lie increasing cost of living at the i
rniversity, the lack of opportunity ’
jr close personal contact among the 1
tudents, and the lack of student i
emocracy, demand that conditions be i
nproved, and it is thought that a
/stem of dormitories will fill the
eed.
