Valentine Boyer, president. A num ber of new courses, most of them dealing with modern day condi tions, will be offered, and many other offerings will be brought up to date by faculty members, it was stated. Two courses regarded a,s of ut most importance will be offered in the department of philosophy this fall for the first time.

Last year 381 students were 100 per cent self supporting and 825 were self supporting in degrees ranging from 75 to 15 per cent. Many worthwhile students who otherwise would not be able to at tend school have been aided the last two years by the federal gov ernment through the FERA and the NYA. Through Miss Smith’s service, students are assigned jobs in the departments of the Univer sity in any type of work which otherwise would not be maintained through regular outside employ ment. The hourly rate is 35 cents and the amount of work assigned is fixed by the need of the appli cant.

Decision of the boards to retain the same fee was made in spite of the fact that this year’s extra curricular program will be the full est and most varied ever offered. The only change voted by the boards was a new break-down of fee payment. Under the plan adopted by the boards students may buy student body cards for $7 fall term, $5 winter term, and only $3 spring term. This new break-down, which was made after long discussion and consultation with numerous stu dent leaders, is in proportion to the actual cash benefits offered students by the athletic and educa tional activities departments. Pre viously the fee was a uniform $5 per term. An optional plan whereby stu dents may receive student body cards for all three terms of the school year by payment of $15 at fall term registration also was adopted. Students availing them selves of this plan will receive $1 aff on their purchase of the 1937 Greater Oregana. Total cash value of the activities to be presented during the 1936-37 school year by the athletic and educational activities departments will exceed $30. Break-down of the fee on the $7-$5-$3 basis was made an the same ratio as the total cash benefits, which amount to $14 for fall term, $9 winter term, and $7 spring term. The extra-curricular program to be offered students this coming year is easily the finest and best balanced ever conceived at the University. It has been classed by both University and student lead ers as a successful attempt to build an all-around and diversified program for the students’ educa tion and enjoyment.
