UNIVERSITY DECLARED
in HEED OF FUNDS
Administrative Heads Say
Money Must Come, or Ex
pansion Be Checked.
RESULT OF DECREASED
TAXES THROUGH STATE
$200,000 Shy This Year, Au
thorities Say, Will Handi
cap Extension.
The University of Oregon is in a
serious position. Either it must settle
into a financial rut and have its ex
pansion checked, or funds must be forth
coming. This is the edict that has
gone forth from the administrative of
fices.
When in 1913 the legislature put the
income of the University on the millage
tax, allowing the University $3000 upon
every million dollars of taxable prop
erty in the state, the tax commission as
sured the University authorities that the
valuation of property within the state
would steadily increase and keep apace
with the growth of the University.
Hut just the opposite has happened.
The University, it is true, has grown,
but the valuation of taxable property has
decreased, and this year the amount of
taxable property in the state is just
one million dollars less than a year ago.
Thus the University is shy $200,000
this year. Unless this $200,000 is se
cured, according to the administrative
heads of the University, the University
will be handicapped seriously in its mis
sion to the people of the state.
In a letter to secretary of state, Ben
Olcott, Comptroller L. H. Johnson, of
the University said today:
“The vapid increase in enrollment
during the past two years amounting to
27 per cent gain over the enrollment at
the time of the last legislative session
indicates that both additional teaching
force and additional room will be serious
ly needed at the University before the
close of the biennium.
"The extension division of the Uni
versity has reached its lin... of growth on
its present available budget. The enroll
ment in extension courses has mart
than doubled during the past biennium.
The demand throughout the state foi
enlarged service by the extension school
is pressing and persistent and indicates
its value to the public.
“The University at present needs sev
eral new buildings, amongst which maj
be noted a women’s dormitory, an audi
torium and a recitation building. The
women’s dormitory and the recitation
building are most urgently demanded.
No adequate provision has been made
for the housing of th ewomen of the
, University, although a good dormitory
has been provided for the men.
“In order to provide for the growth of
the University and carry out the plans
of the campus adopted by the board of
regents two years ago, it is important
that provision be made in the near fu
ture for the purchase of twelve acres ad
joining the campus before the land is
platted into city lots and sold in sub
division.”
A summary of the estimates for the
budget of the next two years that will
be submitted to the legislature at its
esssion in January totals $796,936, while
the total income is $578,400. The in
come is derived as follows:
University land fund interests. . .$12,000
Current expense fund (fees etc) 22,000
Villard endowment fund interest. 4,400
Millnge tax fund .540,000
The millnge tax fund was based on
advice from the state tax commission
that the valuation of property in the
state would be $900,000,000. This is at
the rate of $270,000 a year or the $540,
000 for the biennium as required by the
state legislature.
The campus enrollment of the Univer
sity has increased 27 per cent in the last
two years and 18 per cent this year
alone so far. This enrollment includes
bonafide four year resident students. . In
other words the enrollment this year is
930. Summer school students were 314,
music school students are 73, school of
medicine 77, correspondence (active)
530 and extension classes 1300 regularly
enrolled, making a total of those secur
ing benefits from the University in the
state 3224.
An interesting item in connection with
this is the fact that 4694 teachers of the
state are taking reading circle work and
handling in their work to be corrected.
This requires a staff of faculty members
in the extension work that will have to
be sliced in case the demanded budget
is not forthcoming.
“The tendency of the times is for the
University to serve the people of the
state more and more,” says K. \V. On
thank, secretary to President P. L.
Campbell. “As a result the people are
becoming more and more dependent upon
the University. Impairing, then, the
growth of the University is sending the
youth of the state to the schools of
other states, a thing Oregon schools have
been preventing especially in the last two
years.”
PRESS NOTICE
There aro in the world today scarcely
more than half a dozen musical cele
brities whose names are familiar to
everyone, and of these, the name of
Sehumann-Ileink is second to none. She
it was who blazed the trail for concert
artists in many parts of this country. A
less remarkable woman could never have
survived the strain of constant travel
under frequently the most disagreeable
conditions. Into the thinly populated
country of the Northwest and through
the poor sections of the south, Sehumann
Ileink carried the banner of music.

01 TO C0B1LIS"
Big Rally to Be Held in Gymna
sium Friday Night.
Saturday Is 0. A. C.’s Home
coming Day; Aggies Plan
ning Great Reception.
The Saturday game at Corvallis will
be the occasion for the annual O. A.
C. home-coming and bonfire rally. The
Beaver club has made strenuous efforts
to arrouse feeling over the biggest g?.me
of the season and the windup of North
west football for this fall. Business
men and students will co-operate in
backing the O. A. C. eleven. Every bit
of energy available, both in football
brawn and rooter’s noise, will be put
into play against Oregon.
“On to Corvallis! is the watchword.
Victory! is the pray.-r. Save your tin,
don't blow it in; let Saturday see you
there.”
Think about that game, plan on going,
and you of meagre means lay aside a
few extra beans to spend for eats and
railroad fare.
“I want to emprasize the importance
of genuine old Oregon spirit for this
game Saturday,” said yell leader Frank
Scaiefe yesterday. “We are going to have
j a hard scrap despite the fact that odds
are ten to seven in favor of Oregon.
I am afraid our rooting section won’t
amount to much unless a revival of “pep”
takes place here this week. We must
make a formidable showing. We’ve got
to furnish the psychology for Bezdek’s
men. We have pulled them through be
fore; will we do it this time?”
“I want to urge eevry Oregon
student who possibly can to buy a ticket
to Corvallis this week-end,” said assist
ant yell leader “Scoop” Rathbun in ;
speaking of plnns for the excursion. “Our
team will need every ounce of “jaz” we
cau muster. It’s not an expensive trip
by excursion rates; let’s concentrate on
it and carry the lemon-yellow back to
Eugene untattered.”
Scaiefe and Rathbun have plans under
way for a rousing parade through town
and a rally at the men’s gymnasium Fri
day evening. Bishop Sumner, Don Or
put and O. M. Plumer of Portland have
been requested to come down for the
meeting and help stir up interest. Dr.
Reed and Dick Smith are local men who
have been invited to speak at the meeting.
More complete arrangements for the
big rally will be announced in a later
issue of the Emerald.
A big stunt between halves will, no
doubt, be part of Oregon’s rooting
scheme if sufficient students accompany
the players to make such a venture a
success. Scaiefe will not divulge his
ideas for a between-half show but
promises something interesting. The
University band will enliven the Ore
gon section with those well known songs
that led Bezdek’s aggregation to Mult
nomah field for victory two weeks ago.
Excursion rates on both lines will be
given to Corvallis and return for the j
week-end. A good time in Corvallis is
i insured everybody who attends. The
home-coming committees have planned a
gorgeous reception for all visitors, ac
cording to reports from O. A. C.
$25 ADDED TO THE FUND
All Co-ed Lottery Dance Swolls Sum for
Woman's Building.
Approximately $25.00 will be added to
the Woman's Huildinje fund as a result
of the all co-ed lottery dance held Fri
day in the men's gymnasium from 4
till 0 o'clock.
One hundred and eighty girls danced,
became better acquainted with each other
and had a general good time from their
own declarations.
Ninety “men" made their dates, hunt
ed up their “ladies." took proper care of
them at the dance and even “saw them
home.”
“I consider this dance a splendid form
of student activity,” said Dean Eliza
beth Fox. one of the patronesses of the
occasion.
