Heavy Loss to A State Seen in Merger Move (Continued from Tage One) and new equipment and buildings necessary. In addition to the University's valuation of $4,491,822.86, more than $1,000,000 in fraternity prop erty is directly affected. The con struction costs of fraternity and sorority homes in Eugene where these organizations own their own property amounts to $934,205. This does not include the value of the land occupied by such houses, nor the value of investments by pri vate individuals in property rented for fraternity use. Many Hold Bonds Many individuals in the state hold bonds issued to build these rfraternity homes, and the same is Wrue in regard to the $533,000 in vested in dormitories. Against the fraternity property at Eugene there is an outstanding indebted ness of $615,000 in which a num ber of loan associations of the state are deeply interested. This fraternity property would, in all probability, be almost a total loss. The removal of the Univer- j sity to Corvallis would so deplete Eugene property values that the premises would have little sale j value, and the largest population of the campus under the terms of i the measure would not be sufficient to fill the dormitories. Reduced Values Seen Assessed valuations in Eugene, LaGrande, Ashland and Monmouth would be materially reduced if the measure is passed, according to a study of probable results. In Eugene alone it is estimated that the assessed value would be re duced from one-third to one-half, reducing the community to bank ruptcy and causing serious finan cial loss to the holders of the city’s ! securities. These securities are in f the hands of many individuals, banks, trust funds and the state | itself. a'cw annum ciiiu inenas or tne , University are acquainted with the initiative measure, according to re ports reaching the alumni associa tion office. It has been filed by the Marion County Tax Equaliza tion league through Henry Zorn, a farmer living in the northern part! of the county. No announcement! has been made as to who i^ financ- i ing it. University Is Provided It is provided that there shall be created an Oregon State univer sity, the university branch of which shall be located at Corval lis. The Monmouth normal is abol ished and its property disposed of by transfer to other state agencies. Teacher training instruction also is taken from the campuses at La Grande and Ashland and they are designated as junior colleges. All of the teacher training work now ftt the normal schools is transferred to Eugene. The measure makes no provis ion for the scholastic accommoda tion of the doubling of student population at Corvallis. One of the features of the bill not at once recognized is the fact that under its provisions all teach er training will not come to Eu gene, but only the elementary in struction. It is provided that the board of higher education, which would be continued under this act, may if it so desires allow high school teacher training on the Eu gene campus not to exceed junior high school grade. All other edu cational instruction will be at Cor vallis. Salem Support Sought The support of Salem is solicited by a chapter in the bill which pro vides that the law school shall be located there. Under what condi tions it shall be operated there, is not provided, but detailed provis (ion is made that the supreme court library, already open to any citi zen of the state who wants to go there for any legitimate purpose, shall be thrown open to the law school students. Junior colleges are created at LaGrande and Ashland, but the teacher training work is taken away from them. The normals at LaGrande and Ashland already have junior college rank in the state’s education system, and ac cording to those who have studied the bill, it simply would cut the enrollment of these institutions to not more than 10 or 15 per cent of their present student body which is about the number now taking pure junior college work at these institutions. Opponents of the measure believe that this would mean the death of the Ashland and LaGrande schools. One of two alternatives, it is re cited, would be the only way out. One is to close the schools, which would be the natural reaction, as the state through the board of higher education could not afford to operate them for such a limited student body. The second is to hand them over to the communi ties to support by direct taxation. Boulder Busting Kitten Ball Team Taunts B. A. Nine _ '"J'HE kitten ball team of the 1 geology department, which claims to be the champions of the pure science division due to their third straight victory over the chemistry aggregation by a score of 29-5, hereby issue a challenge through Lloyd Kuff, assumed graduate manager of the club, to the business ad school. With the defeat of the law school nine yesterday afternoon by the slugging “financiers,” tlie C'ondonites consider them worthy competition to battle with them for the supremacy of the campus. which is the usual manner in which junior colleges are maintained in other states. Financing Difficult Representatives of LaGrande, Ashland and Monmouth who are meeting with representatives of Eugene point out that financially but few of the students attending ' these teacher training schools would be able to finance their study at Eugene as many of them reside in the communities where I the schools are located and are satisfying their underclass require- I* ments while obtaining their teach ing certificates with the idea that later in life they can attend the university or the college and ob- j tain their desired degrees. The measure includes a number of other provisions and certain minor ones are looked upon as the expressions of jealousy. The government census for 1930 gives Corvallis’ population 7585, while that of Eugene is given as ■ 18,901. The moving of the univer- | sity to Corvallis would not only afford a tremendous problem in housing and instruction facilities, but it would make impossible for many students to be self support ing either wholly or in part. Employment Is Important As every alumnus of the univer sity knows, the majority of the men at Eugene depend to some ex tent upon employment in order to continue their university work. Only a high degree of civic re sponsibility on the part of Eugene residents has made it possible for these students to obtain this em ployment and the problem in a city. with much less poulation is self evident. This possible condition, Eugene1 alumni feel, is one of the strongest arguments in favor of continuing the state’s educational institutions ; as they are and where they are. The university’s answer to the j cry of economy raised in support of the consolidation measure is \ facts and figures showing that there is no economy in the propo sal Sentiment, of course, enters into the picture as far as univer sity alumni are concerned, but upon these alumni rests much of1 the responsibility for “selling” the university and the true picture of i this possible calamity to other resi dents of their communities. Expenditures Here Low While Oregon stancfc sixth in per capita wealth and 41 per cent above the national average, and stands fifth among the states in the number of students enrolled in institutions of higher learning, the state stands 22nd according to ex penditures for higher education in proportion to wealth. Higher education in Oregon is not responsible for increased tax. a study of the records show. In ten years—1921-1931—higher edu-: cation cost has increased but one per cent, and the increase has not j been at the University. The Uni- j versity’s income, reduced by the I referendum on the legislative ap propriation, for last year was but $802,139 or .6 per cent less than in 1921. Over the same ten year span, the annual expenditures for ele mentary and high schools has in creased 49.1 per cent, roads and I highways 21.9 per cent town and city government 22.6 per cent and ports and docks 5.4 per cent. On the basis of the 1931 income, the University, including the medi cal school, research and extension service, received 1 2-3 cents of each tax dollar. In compiling what has been s “the low-down on higher education in Oregon," it is found that $311 was the average state support per student per year at Eugene, and this was before the referendum. Ohio at the same time was spend ing $2110. The average for all state supported universities was $407. Oregon Stands Low With separate institutions, the cost in administration and instruc tion in Oregon is $351.95, accord ing to the United States office of education whose figures are for the year 1931-32. This is the aver age for the states having separate ■ universities and colleges. Michigan ^ No. 9 Vol. XIV OLD OREGON . Alexander 6. Brown, Secretary Class Reunions, Court Dedication Set for June 11 _ ! The formal dedication of the. Prince L. Campbell Fine Arts' museum, special class reunions of Lhe classes of 50, 25, 20 and 10 years ago, the semi-annual meet- j ing, flower and fern procession, ind a number of other interesting i ind important events will bring to gether several hundred University :>f Oregon alumni June 11. The class of 1882, that of 50 years ago, now has three living members, according to records, ind these are expected to be here for the re-union. They are Mrs. Harry L. Boardman, Riverside, California; Seymour W. Condon, Pasadena, California; and Mary E., McCornack, Eugene. The alumni activities will open it 9 o’clock with the annual break fast of the State Association of University of Oregon Women. At L0:30 the semi-annual alumni meeting will be held, with Homer D. Angell, ’00, presiding. The all campus luncheon will be held at noon, with special tables for the class reunions. The formal dedication of the j Campbell Museum of Fine Arts will take place in the afternoon. At 5:30 the classes will have re union dinners, followed by the beautiful flower and fern proces sion, which this year will center around the Pioneer Mother statue in the Woman's quadrangle. Members of the class of 19221 are making a special effort to bring classmates together from all over the Northwest. Helen Car son, permanent secretary of this class, now residing in Olympia, sends word that many have al ready notified her they will be on the campus. Alumni who wish to stay over will attend the baccalaureate ser vice Sunday and the commence ment exercises Monday morning. STEINMETZ RETURNS Wesley Steinmetz, ’34, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Steinmetz, Port land, has returned from six and one half months spent in Germany in the employ of the foreign dtrade department of- the J. A. Henckle Steel company, Berlin. JOSEPH DAVIDSON DEAD Joseph A. Davidson, 53, national advertising director for the Ore gonian, Portland, and father of Margaret Davidson '35, died sud denly in Portland May 22. heads the list with an expenditure per student per year of $547.74. However, when the costs are de termined in states having com bined colleges and universities it is found that the per student average is $412, and this list is headed by New Jersey (Rutgers) where the pr student cost is $637.71. Necessary economies resulting from less income through the mill age tax will result in further re ductions in Oregon and especially at the University, according to the budget figures as they now stand. The University administration is only asking an opportunity to con tinue its service to the state, an opportunity to work under the re organized plan proposed by the state board of higher education and every unit of the University is cooperating in an effort to continue under the handicaps of a reduced budget. State Cost Reduced During the administration of Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall the de partments of the University have benefited by approximately $1,500, 000 in funds given or appropriat ed by outside interests. This has materially reduced the cost to the state and made possible great works, especially at the mdical school and in the field of research. The alternatives before the al umni are whether their alma ma ter is to be a memory or the cam pus at Eugene. There is no mid dle ground. The responsibility of the alumni is that of unselfish service that the University may live and prosper. Eugene, LaGrandc. Ashland and Monmouth business men are com bining to fight this battle. They will fight it out on the lines drawn by the initiative measure and it will take all summer. Contacts must be made, for this is largely to be a hand to hand engagement. From the office of the alumni secretary information will from time to time be forward ed, speakers provided and cam paign literature distributed. An abtive. well supported alumni association is necessary and that responsibility must be accepted by each and every alumnus as a per sonal challenge. 1802 Died: Nathan H.

Name . Class . Address A special rate of $3 a year enrolls both husband and wife in the alumni association, Sports news (Since this story was written, the Oregon baseball nine showed a decided reversal of form and walloped Washington State’s league leaders, 3 to 1. It was the major upset of the confer ence season and vindicated the Webfoots’ earlier losses.) A track team of considerable possibilities and a surprisingly dis appointing baseball nine have char acterized University of Oregon athletics in the past fortnight. The track and field athletes, under the direction of Colonel William L. I-layward, veteran Olympic Games trainer, have •mrsued somewhat of a fluctuating course, rising to great heights on some occasions and fall ing from them on others. They con quered Idaho decisively in a dual j meet, were beaten badly by Wash i ington and broke even with Oregon State in the relay and dual events. The Webfoots overcame the Bea | vers, 5 races to 3, in the relays, but themselves were defeated in | the meet proper, losing by only one [ and one-third points. Colonel Hay ' ward’s lads complete their season | at Seattle today and tomorrow, when they compete in the annual Pacific Northwest meet. Several members of the squad, namely Cap tain Paul Starr, Art Holman, Hu-, bert Allen and big Ed Moeller, as sistant coach, will try out for the Olympics at the same time. The varsity baseball squad has been having somewhat of a miser able existence. It now rests in fourth place, next to the cellar, and has been really successful only against Idaho’s tail-enders. Lack of batting power has been the main I reason for the Webfoots’ downfall. Ken Scales has been an outstanding pitcher and Cliff Potter has con tributed some notable feats at third base. Bill Reinhart directs the Oregon nine. Freshman baseball has been more successful. Led by Jack O'Brien, the yearlings split even with the Oregon State rooks and won every other game on their schedule. Although beaten by the rooks, Ed Moeller’s freshman track squad showed plenty of promise. Warren Demaris, Gardner Frye, Fred Nowland and Fred Wagner | look like certain point-producers i for the varsity next year. Spring football practice also was concluded this month. The climax was a fourth game between the Marines and the Doughboys, the latter winning by two touchdowns. Rather severe injuries were sus tained by Ross Smith, Joe Walsh, and Willy Paul, but all are recov ering at present. Jim Gemlo, big ! center, was forced to miss the last ! few weeks becaus of an attack of acute appendicitis. There will be I no more football here until Sep tember 15, when Prink Callisoh will issue the first call for varsity drills.
