survey or commons m OOEEOI MO OJLC. SHOWS BOWS NEED Facilities Used With Maximum Results; Operation Costs Found Low There is no ground for fear that j there will be an extravagant use of money for building at either Eugene or Corvallis, according to E. B. Stev- j ens, executive secretary of the Uni versity of Washington, who came to; Oregon recently to make a survey; of the conditions at the University of Oregon and the Agricultural Col lege. “The total expenditures of the state of Oregon for higher educa tion,” said Mr. Stevens after making the survey, “have been below that of the average of a number of states.” iBoth the University and the College are managed economically as shown by the low annual student | cost and the low cost per student clock hour, he states. Comparative figures on the amounts expended by various states for higher education show that in 1915 33.94 per cent of Kansas’s total expenditures were for higher edu cation, while in Oregon but 16.98 per cent of the expenditures went to the colleges and universities. Enrollment is Increasing In 1910 the enrollment at the Uni versity was 634 and at the College, 967. By the opening of the 1919 fall term 1560 students were attend ing the University and 2919 were enrolled at Corvallis. Mr. Stevens emphasized the great amount of pressure on the floor space at the University. Especially is this true for laboratory instruction where the floor space required is much greater than for other types of instruction. Based on the use of class rooms seven hours a day for five days in the week as one hundred per cent, efficiency, the report shows that the University is putting its class rooms to 60 per cent of their possibel use.! The averagcin schools throughout thei country is about 40 per cent. Higher Education Valued “It is evident that the people of Oregon place a high vaule on their institutions of higher education,” he continued. “This is shown by their comparatively large attendance at the institutions of higher learning. While the western states show a larger proportion of their population in attendance at these schools than is true of the country as a whole, the Pacific states show a still higher proportion, and Oregon the highest of all except California. Such being the situation, an unusual development at both the University and the Col lege would bo anticipated. “The use of temporary buildings and shacks for educational purposes is undesirable on economic ns well as sanitary grounds. The extent of use of such floor space was especial ly noted at the University. This suggests the necessity not only for additional buildings, but also for a continued study of all possible eco nomics in scheduling.” PICTURES BY SOLVE APPEAR IN BULLETIN Drawings Represent Four Separate Activities of Junior Red Cross Work Melvin T. Solve, instructor in the department of rhetoric, drew four illustrations for the Special Junior Red Cross number of the Bulletin of the northwest division of the Ameri can Red Cross. Eleven thousand copies of this magazine were mailed to the schools in Alaska, Idaho, Ore gon and Washington. One picture drawn by Mr. Solve is of a girl in pigtails writing a letter to “Dear Celeste” in France; another is a logger reading a magazine; the third is of a Russian, a Turk, a Spaniard and a Chinaman standing in a row with hands in pockets; the fourth is of a boy operating a sterc opt icon. These illustration respectively rep-j resent the following activities of the Junior Red Cross — correspondence with French schools; furnishing mag azines for logging and lumber camps; coin collections of the principal na tions of the world which are circulat ed free to school?; and Red Cross slides which are loaned free CARLTON PULPIT ACCEPTED W. Bailey, Former Student, Appointed Pastor of Baptist Church Walter Bailey, until a short timej ago a student at the University, has just been appointed to the Baptist pastorate at Carlton, Oregon, about seven miles from McMinnville. Bail ey,- who is a senior in the his tory department, was forced to leave school a few weeks ago on account* of the illness of his wife. He lacked but a few hours of graduating, which he plans to make up through the ex tension division. For two years he made the varsity debate team, the first time being se lected on merit without a tryout and the second time taking second place out of the 12 men who tried out Each time he was unable to continue in the work after making the team because of illness in his family. He was a member of Cross Roads, an honorary philosophy club com posed of seven members of the fac ulty and fourteen students from the department of philosophy. For three years and a half Bailey has held the pastorate of the Baptist church at Springfield, carrying on the work in connection with his school work- He will leave, accompanied by his family, to take up the new charge the first of the month. STUDENTS TO AID SURVEY COLLEGE PEOPLE ASKED TO HELP DURING VACATION Extension Division Requested by State Legislature to Carry on Work A personal appeal is being made in a letter sent to each student on the campus to assist in the state survey which the extension division is carrying on of the mental de fectives, delinquents and dependents y[ the state. “This survey,’’ said Dr. C. L. Car lisle, director of the work, “is being made at the request of the state legislature, and as the students are receiving their education from the state I hope they will feel that they have both an interest in, and an obligation to the state to help this investigation which will have such a far-reaching influence on the future of the commonwealth. “Since there are men and women here from every county in Oregon, and as they are a specially trained and educated body of representative citizens, it is in their power to render service of unique value to the state. It is hoped that the students will do some real investigating in their particular localities while on their spring vacation. Cards for sending in the information thus ob tained can bo had by calling at or writing to the office of the survey, Education building.’’ Dr. Carlisle made a trip to Port land Friday, meeting a number of prominent citizens and officials con nected with social welfare work, and discussed the plans of the survey with them. He also arranged to have the statistical information cards dis tributed to these agencies. ARRANGE for your room and board for next term at 1331 High street before going home for vacation. Mrs. M. A.

SKULASON of Portland, Oregon HODIRAiT MUSICAL SOCIETY IS FORMED; OFFICERS ELECTED George Hopkins' President of Organization to Promote Artistic Interest In the organization of the new musical honorary society, another honorary organization has taken its place on the campus. The new or ganization which has about 20 mem bers will probably be known as the “Oregon Musical Council”, was or iginated by Rex Underwood, of the school of music, and will take the same place in musical circles as the Order of the “0” has taken in ath letics. Membership will be purely honorary, and only persons with one year’s active service in the men’s or women’s glee clubs, the orchestra or band are eligible for membership. The purpose of the organization is not social, and its formation was with the idea of the promotion of good music on the campus and among the students, and to act as an incentive for musical activities. The Thibaud recital Tuesday evening is being ar ranged for by the members of the new club. The honorary musical society at Stanford University is the only sim ilar organization in any university, and the election to this society is the greatest honor to be attained in musical circles at Stanford. There is at present no idea of making the Oregon society a secret organiza tion or developing it into a national fraternity, although it is expected that its formation will influence the establishing of similar organizations in other institutions. At a meeting held Wednesday of ficers were elected And the pin dis cussed. The officers elected were: George Hopkins, presiden; Beulah Keagy, vice president; Aurora Potter, **;retary-treasurer; Kate Chapburn, pubilcity secretary; and Clara Cal kins, chairman of committee to draft constitution and by-laws.
