SENIORS PLAN THESES
Topics Will be for the Reorganization
of Municipal, State and County
Government
The Seniors of the Department of
0 Economies will write as their theses
plans for the reorganization of the
municipal, county and state govern
ments of Oregon, with a view to an
increased efficiency and economy. Pro
fessor Young says, “There is, through
out the country, a strong feeling for
drastic action eliminating commis
sions and superfluous offices, cutting
down expenditures and lowering tax
levies. There is a grave danger, how
ever, that this craze for retrench
ment will impair the efficiency of the
administrations. Some states have
felt the need of plans for a more effec
tive organization. ComnUssions have
haen appointed and are devising plans
for greater efficiency and economy.
There is no such commission in Ore
gon, but the public has shown a
strong disposition to act on the mat
ter, and as a result of this the Sen
iors of the Economics Department
have volunteered to formulate various
schemes which may be submitted to
the proper committees at the next ses
sion of the legislature.”
The research work in this depart
ment involves a new feature of field
work and actual surveys made by the
individual of the local and state gov
ernment, instead of a 9tudy of statis
tics and reports. University Senior
scholarship funds are expected to be
received for the expenses of the stu
dents while making practical studies
in the committee rooms of the State
Legislature.
While not all the class have decid
ed on the titles of their theses, the
following subjects have been handed
in: “Unemployment Legislation and
Institutions for Oregon,” James T.
Donald; “The Peace Problem of Eu
rope,” P. C. Crockett; “Factors of the
Successful Occupation of Land in Dif
ferent Sections of Oregon,” Walter
R. Dimm; “Cost Units in Potato Rais
ing in the Potato Producing Regions
of the World,” Roy Johnson; “A
Budget System for Oregon,” Millar
McGilchrist; “Oregon Trade With
Latin America,” T. W. Staiger.

The excavating of the conduit fol
the new heating system is now nearly
completed, and the carpenters are at
work on the forms for the concrete.
When finished, the conduit will be
large enough for a man to walk
through. For the present, only the
Men’s Gymnasium and President
Campbell’s residence will be heated
by pipes from the conduit. When the
new Administration building is ready
it will also be connected with the con
duit, and eventually all the build
ings of the University will be heated
by steam through the conduit. A new
boiler is to be installed in the heat
ing plant. The contract price of the
new system, including that of the new
Administration building, is $22,000.00.
