Carry on Big Campaign Before

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.

day it has more than double^, being

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

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.

bistory of the University, also an
