The general Held that the Seniors in Economics will investigate tnis year in writing tueir tneses is uie re organisation ot our state administra tion. inis is a continuation ot the work unaertaaen last year, wnen tne problem of eilicieney and economy was first discussed. "The special Commonwealth Con ference of last December,' saiu Pro fessor F. O. Young, head ot • the Department ot Economics, "develop ed plans tor the reorganization 01 several administrative departments, but the Legislature found itseit in adequately prepareu to go into tne work ot reorganization, so the wnole matter was laid on the table, await ing more lavorable conditions, ide Department of Economics expects to have proposed plans for reorgan-i zation so weil outlined by the time the Legislature convenes again that they will be of material service to ward realizing a greater economy and efficiency in the State." inasmuch as the Supreme Court decision on the Oregon and Caliior nia laud grant has elicited much in terest in the disposition ol these lauds, and a coulerence on water power legislation has, in a similar way, brought to public attention this second problem pertaining to the con trol of public domain in Oregon, several of the students will make studies of different phases of State and National policy pertaining to for est and water reserves in Oregon. Among the subjects submitted to the students for their consideration are: "The Puhjic Domain in Ore gan;” (a) “National Keserves in Ore gon;” (b) “The State’s Public Do main Policy t” “The Evolution of Oregon’s Revenue System;” "Ore gon’s Railway and Public Utilities Pontrol:” “The Public Works Ac tivities of Oregon;” "Accounting in Oregon’s Affairs;’’ “Highway Legis lation in Oregon;” “Insurance Legis lation in Oregon,” and "Credit Legis lation in Oregon.” EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FAVORS APPROPRIATION The executive committee during its meeting Tuesday evening, went on record as favoring an appropri ation for the Women’s League to help finance the women's athletics, such as hockey and tennis. Inasmuch as the mens athletics are financed by the student body, the committee considered it no more than fair that the women have pecuniary assistance as well as the men. At the same meeting, Maurice Hyde was engaged as director of the University band for a period of two months. Help Wanted—Family Man A family hotel in Portland has solicited the assistance of the Uni versity in securing a young graduate who can look after the advertising and also help in the social activities of the hotel.

EXTENSION BUREAU PLANS COMMUNITY CONFERENCES A program of community conferen ce is offered to the state this year by the extension department of the Uni versity of Oregon. The conferences are a development of the system of filling single lecture calls. City planning is one specimen topic for a community conference'. The head of the School of Architecture, Ellis F. Lawrence, is notable in city planning work. An Oregon city that desires to lay out a development plan so that it will improve as the years go by, is entitled to the services of any one of the University faculty who can speak with authority on any phase of that plan. The city’s educational system is another topic for a conference. The University school of Education will be able to make a limited number of school surveys this year, showing to each surveyed town, just where its schools are strong and where de fective. An elaborate survey of this type was made last year for Ash land, Oregon. The School of Commerce profes sors are also available for conferen ces upon city administrationr The Extension Department be lieves that community conferences PIERCE Grocery Good Things to Eat 104 9TH AVE.

The department of economics has matured plans for the found ing of a museum of graphic and modern data pertaining to state organization and development, ac cording to P. G. Young, professor of economics and sociology. The two connecting rooms on the south side of the second floor of the li brary floor are to be used for this purpose. Already the department has on hand the maps and charts of tl)e forestry service, and some charts made by students of preceding years in thesis work. In time, all the best maps, charts, and relief models pertaining to any part of Oregon, as weli as plans of municipalities, highway systems, school district— budgets for the different tax juris dictions of the state—in fact, every tangible exhibit that will serve as an aid in visualizing conditions in the state will be on display. This mu seum is expected to be of service in furthering the commonwealth ac tivity of the University. “Just as the Conaon Museum serves its purpose in making con ditions as they were during the geo logical aeons of the past,” said Professor Young, “so the records of .activities and conditions as they exist today in Oregon will be collect ed into this museum and will serve as a most essential aid in promot ing the progress of the state.” will produce much more thorough re sults than at less expense than the old system of sending out single fac ulty members for lectures, many of which were used for entertainment rather than for educational or com munity improvement purposes. FROSH PARTY AWAITS FACULTY’S DECISION Plans for the freshman acquaint ance party cannot take definite form until the faculty decides whether dancing is to be permitted.
