COUNCIL TO WORK FOR SUCCESS OF COMING APPROPRIATION BILL Dean Morton Starts Ball Rol ling by Presenting Build ing Plan HELP OREGON ON FEET Faculty and Students Organize to Carry on Big Campaign Before Public Plans will be made In the near future by student council for ah or ganized effort by the students in the University to work for the edu cational appropriation bill, which will come up at the next election and which means so much to the future of the University, according to a de cision of the council at the Tuesday evening meeting at the library. The situation was outlined to stu dent council by Dean D. W. Morton, representing the faculty. O. A. C. and Oregon are to receive their ap propriattions through this joint bill, said Dean Morton, Oregon to receive three-sevenths and O. A. C. four sevents. In order to put this bill through, said Dean Morton, wo must work to gether. Such a hill would put Ore gon on her feet, giving her, plus her present income, an income of some $800,000. This would enable* the University to plan a program which within the next few years would enable her to have a campus for which she would not have Lo make any excuses and of which she could be justly proud. If this bill passes the first of the money will be available in June, and will enable the University to start building the first of a series of much needed buildings, probably the cost of each of these structures will be about $300,000. It. is planned at present to put up one such structure ea*oh year. At present all of the buildings on the campus are wortli about $450,000, about $100,000 more than the cost of Lincoln high school in Portland. A survey of the situation at the University and at O. A. U. was made by Mr. Stevens, secretary of the board of higher curricula in Wash ington, following the decisions of O. A. and Oregon officials. This survey showed the rate of increase at Oregon greater than that of O. A. C. within the last live years. This bill, said Dean Morton, will provide the University with a per petual endowment whirlf will grow with the prosperity of the state. It will mean that the state of Oregon will he on the map educationally and that among other things Oregon will have no more factory instruction. If each student now attending the University will intluence ten persons in the state, Dean Morton said, we should bo able to carry the vote for the hill. Hut, he said, the proposi tion is not an easy one and wo must organize in order to work effective ly. The faculty has organized and ho said the students should or ganize. Student council responded enthus iastically to hiss suggestion that the council bask tills proposition and will plan definitely for some organized effort among the students in the near future. George Hopkins, director of the men’s glee club, brought before the council the question of the glee club pins. The men in the glee object to wearing the present glee club pin lie said, because it is large, cumber some and not at all artistic. They feel that the pin should he worth the effort put forth to win it. Mr. Hop kins showed the council a picture of a new pin which the glee duh favors adopting and asked the council for its decision. The members of the council were favorable to the plan and tin' matter will he presented to the student body lor vote soon. George Hoggs was elected manager of the Oreganu by student council at the meeting Tuesday evening in the library. Hoggs was elected to take the place of Harris Kllsworth, who left college last term. JOl UN AI.1STS TO MEET There will be a combined meet injf of Theta Sigma Phi and Sic ilia Delta Chi at the Journalism annex, Monday evening, at 7:30. STl'DENTS HAVE CHANCE TO HELP OlihXiON (Continued on page 4) day it has more than double^, being 1644 ” Three plans ^remain to solve the problem, t)ean Morton declared. Limit the number of attendants by entrance examinations, increase'the student fees or get more money from the state. The last only, he said, is a feasible solution. The students now have their opportunity to aid the University by convincing the Voters of the state of the need for the new levy. Oregon, the normal school and O. A. C. are together on the proposi tion as their need is a common one. Oregon students must do their share. Oregon Below Standard Dr. J. H- Gilbert speaking on the same subject showed the low standard of the University’s building equip ment. The average amount spent on buildings by universities throughout the country per student enrolled is $995, he said, while at Oregon it is but $411. At the University of Calif ornia this amount is $1572. The aver age amount of floor space per student in universities is ovei* 300, while at Oregon it is only 176 square feet. Use a class room for seven hours a day, five days a week is consider ed one.hundred per cent, he continued. Oregon is getting 70.6 per cent out of 1 its class rooms, while the average throughout the country is only 40 per cent. Three Big Buildings Needed “We need,” said Dr. Gilbert, “a recitation building which will ^cost $400,000, a science building whiclT will I cost $300,000 and a new library which j cannot be built for less than $500,000.' The millage tax would provide a per-I manent income for the University! large enough to allow these buildigns to be constructed over a period of three years. “The increase for which the Uni versity is asking is not as great as it seems on the surface in view of the fact that the actual value of the dol lar has decreased from 100 cents in 1915 to 45 cents in purchasing power. “Dean Straub, when the University was young, stood on the steps of •Deady hall and threw a dollar into the mill race. This was quite a feat, but was possible because the dean was a little younger than he is now, and in Walker • • FURNITURE COMPANY Dean H. Walker Ninth and Oak Streets. Phone 824. & ''|. DIGNIFIED INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLAN ESPECIALLY ARRANGED FOR ORGANIZATIONS OR INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS. SSR9SC those days a dollar would go farther. “In reality, the new bill only makes an actual increase of one fifth in what the University is getting. That is all the sum will amount to when the Uni versity comes to spend it.” That good use will be made of the funds if they are appropriated by the people was demonstrated by Dean Morton who cited the costs of the buildings now on the campus in proof :>f the fact that the most has benn I , made of' every cent of the state’s money. The administration building, ouilt in 1914, cost $108,556.43. Villard ball was erected for $30,000 in 1885, while Deady hall, built nine years i. evious, cost $50,000.
