PHOT HOPEFUL
FOR MEDICIIL SCHOOL
Legislature Expected to Give
Aid Requested.
There is a fair probability of favorable
action by the joint ways and means
committee of the legislature in regard
to an appropriation measure for the Uni
versity of Oregon Medical school, pass
age of which will probably iusure a fur
ter amount approximating $.300,000 from
the General Education Board of New
York City. This was the announcement
of President Campbell yesterday on his
return from the state capital, where
with other faculty members and regents
lie appeared before the joint committee
on behalf of the pending appropriation
measures.
In addition to the president, Dr. R.
B. Dillehunt, dean of the school of
medicine, IV. K. Newell, superintendent
of property and A. C. Dixon, vice presi
dent of the board of regents appeared
before,the legislative committee and ex
plained to the lawmakers the great needs
of the medical school in the way of ade
quate facilities and the great opportu
nity of the state of Oregon to hold its
prestige as the center of medical research
for the northwest through the moral,
scientific and financial support of the
General Education Board, which de
pends to a large extent upon the willing
ness of the state to make proper appro
priation for the school.
The question involved in the delay of
the passage of the appropriation bills is
whether the medical school should not
be supported by a share of the educa
tional appropriations contained in the
millage bill passed last May; these ap
propriations are, according to President
Campbell, insufficient to meet the needs
of both the University and the medical
school, the latter of which in the past
has been supported by a separate ap
propriation of the legislature.
The Medical School program in the
next year calls for an additional build
iifg the size of the one now occupied on
Marquam Heights campus, and the ad
dition of faculty and teaching equipment
sufficient to handle approximately twice
the number of students now admitted to
this school, together with additional pro
vision for research work by members
of the staff. The classes are at pres
ent limited to sixty. At the begining of
last autumn more qualified students were
turned away than could be admitted.
HODGE TO ADDRESS
SCIENCE STUDENTS
Geologist Offers Engineer's Solution of
Great Problem Now Fac
ing Chinese.
China need not have a famine every
year, says Professor E. T. Hodge, who
has recently been added to the staff of
the department of geology in the Uni
versity. Professor Ilodge will address
students and faculty in the lecture
room of Heady hall, Tuesday evening, on
“China’s Greatest Problem.”
‘‘That sounds like a title of a ser
mon,” said Professor Hodge, “but 1 am*
not going to give a sermon. The solu
tion of China’s greatest problem is an
engineer’s solution, not a philanthropist's
solution.”
A permanent, solution of the annuul
danger of famine in China can be work
ed out, according to Professor Hodge,
whose particular branch of the depart
ment is applied geology. It is a solution
that would attack the cause of the
famine, not one that seeks to relieve after
the famine is on.
Every year, thousands of Chinn’s peo
ple starve to death and millions of
others are saved only through the phi
lanthropy of the United States and
other countries. This is preventable,
maintains Professor Hodge. The entire
life of the Chinese people, he says, is
connected with n certain geological fen
lure. This feature can be tamed and
controlled so that famine in China may
be cured permanently, not merely relieved
annually.
This and many other such problems
can be worked out by applied geology,
he believes. Geology is no longer con
sidered a dry fossilized branch of sci
ence; it has a wide application. There
are numerous geologists now actively en
gaged in out and out economic work,
the professor continued. Many cities
and large corporations, shell as fail
roads, building syndicates, etc., employ
consulting geologists. Professor Hodge
was for a time consulting geologist for
New York city.
The Tuesday evening meeting is under
the auspices of the Science club, but is
open to all. Professor Hodge says his
talk is not necessarily for students of
science, but is of a popular nature and
is understandable by everyone. He will
illustrate his solution of China’s prob
lem by drawings on the blackboard.
YALE SENDS BOOK HERE.

PRUNE WEEK IN OREGON
The Rotary clubs, the Kiwanis clubs, the Oherrians
and the Commercial clubs are strongly behind the move
ment to use more prunes and will support the Oregon
Growers’ Co-operative Association, the Eugene Fruit
Growers’ Association and all organizations representing
the prune industry.
With about 22,000,000 pounds of Oregon prunes un
sold, it certainly is the duty of every person in Oregon
to help use them before a new crop, Look what Cali
fornia did with raisins. Aren’t we .'just as much alive
as they are in California?
