Vol. XV No. 11 OLD OREGON Robert K. Allen Secretary $860,000 Cut From Budget By State Board Kerr Asks Departments To Make Economies Salary Cuts of 9 to 25 Per Cent Face Faculty as Result of Drastic Reduction Faced with further serious shrinkage in student fees and sup port from the state millage tax, the state board of higher educa tion, in special session January 8, slashed $860,000 more from the budget of the six institutions of higher education for the coming biennium. This cut is on top of the $1,800,000 already eliminated during the present biennium. Thus the budget, as drawn up for the coming biennium of 1933 34, will be 31% less than that of the past biennium of 1929-30. In other words, the six institutions will be forced to operate on 69% of the amount expended in the two-y^ar period of 1929-30—a re duction from $9,700,000 to ap proximately $6,577,000. In November last the state board estimated that it would be necessary to reduce the coming budget by $670,000, but actual rather than estimated figures on student fee and millage returns in dicated a further reduction would be necessary. On the basis of the necessary cut of $670,000, all de partments were called together by Chancellor W. J. Kerr and told to make every possible economy. By making sweeping curtailments in the use of materials, supplies, wages for laborers, and reduction of staff members, it was found possible to make a saving of $580,000. The revised anticipated income as presented to the board at its recent meeting showed that even more than the $670,000 would have to be saved. To meet tjiis situation, the board ordered a wholesale cut in all salaries, ranging from 9% on $1,000 to 27% on all above $5,000, which netted an additional $265,000, or $15,000 more than was necessary. This extra $15,000 will be placed in the budget to take care of unforseen emergencies during the coming biennium. The University will receive only $778,000 annual income, while the state college will receive $1,600, 000. The University has had to absorb a large share of the ex penses of the medical school, which will receive $340,000 during the next year. The reduction for the whole system is 31%, although the University will be operating on a reduced budget of 47%. Staub Joins Ranks Of Amateur Pilots The most recent addition to Portland’s group of amateur fliers, composed of business and profes sional men, is Dr. Raymond R. Staub, M.D. ’20, physician and surgeon in the Selling building, who last week passed his exami nation for a private pilot’s license.

HOWARD SCOTT FELLOW STUDENT OF 0RE8SMAN (Continued from Pane One) sound basis of Mr. Scott’s personal knowledge is not therefore to be iimpugned.” Discussing the origins and pro gress of the famous "Energy Sur vey of North America,’’ Dr. Cress* man told the editing class that while in New York he had noticed many maps on the walla of Mr. Scott’s apartments which showed various aspects of the continent's power resources. Mr. Cressman told the group that Thorstein Veblen’s now fam ous book, “The Engineers and the Price System,” was the result of a series of Saturday luncheon dis cussions in New York which Mr. Scott and a group of other engin eers attended regularly. Concerning the soclologlcial as pects of technocracy, Dr. Cress man, in an interview following tha class discussion, said: “The sociol ogist sees technocracy as a devel opment, about which he has been talking for many years, that final ly reaches a point where a desper ate people fed by press and radio on panaceas from legalized beer to the Kingdom of God seize what ever seems to promise hope and is picturesque. There arc no other trends in contemporary life so ba sic as industrialization, mechani zation and naan action. Thpy are inevitable, but what we do in the face of them is not inevitable, but is determined by a set of factors from the past, the present and pur future hopes. These factors may be manipulated according to the sets of values of the people in con trol of our social organization.” "The sociologist sees the techno crat as but one class of people try ing to manipulate the most impor tant element shaping our life to day—the producing machine,” he explained. "The sociologist feels too that at the present the ma chine is in the saddle. This may be because the machine has been used not with reference to produc tion for human need but for essen tially for profit. The question of the technocrats and the sociolo gist then is the same. ‘Can the machine be controlled by naan in the interest of production for hu man need?’ The technocrats and many sociologists think it can be if certain changes in political con trol can be brought about. Other wise none of them sees any thing but the tragic, weary recurrence of business cycles so long ago prophesied by Marx until human patience breaks.” Why Patronize - the Emerald Advertiser?
