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.”

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.

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.
