The University of Oregon will

ber of new courses, most of them
dealing with modern day condi
tions, will be offered, and many
other offerings will be brought up

1206 Jobs Found
During Last Year
Students Needing Work
May Benefit by Seeing
Employment Secretary
A total of 1206 jobs for 1206
requests were supplied University
students last year by Miss Janet
Smith, employment secretary, it
has been revealed on the campus.
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.

Break-Down Of $15 Student
Fee Voted As Record Fall
Term Activities Take Form
Student activity fees at the Uni
versity of Oregon will remain at
$15 for the coming 1936-37 school
year ,it was decided at a joint
meeting of the University athletic
and educational activities board's
held this week on the campus.
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.

First Week Slated

In UO Registration
Oregon’s students, thousands strong, will begin their yearly
invasion of the University campus in Eugene the weekend of Sep
tember 19-20. Some will be returning after terms of study, an
xious, after a long summer, to renew their collegiate careers.
But hundreds more, perhaps a thousand, will he freshmen,
willing, but unaware of the course to follow to properly enroll
themselves in the University. Although minus the green lid which
used to be thrust upon the pates of bewildered beginners by dom
ineering upperclassmen, the 1936 model frosh will be as confused
as was his predecessor of years back. To these incoming students.
Notice!
There will be a meeting of all
householders In Eugene who
wish to rent rooms to Univer
sity students, Friday, Septem
ber 4, at 2 o’clock in Villard
hall.
It Is imperative that everyone
be there as roll call will be
taken from which the approved
list will be made up, prices dis
cussed, and all problems per
taining to rentals will be taken
up.

tions to the fund were $1,032.14.
A total of 2,2342 loans, most of
them short-time emergency aids,
were made during the year 1935
36, it was reported. Of these 107
were regular loans, in which stu
dents were allotted substantial

Mammoth New Library, Infirmary, Men's Gym Are Now Rising
When students return to the
University of Oregon Septem
ber 21 they will attend classes on
a campus that lias grown in val
ue of buildings and improve
ments by more than 40 per cent
over the past year. For perhaps
the first time in the history of
the institution at small cost to
taxpayers, due largely to use of
federal funds, all schools and de
partments will be adequately
housed in modern up-to-date
surroundings.
The actual value, last year set
at $2,600,000 will be increased by
$1,110,000 when the work on build
ings under construction and re
modelling of others, including land
scaping, is completed, it is an
nounced by Dr. C. Valentine Boyer,
University president.
A feature of outstanding inter
est to citizens of the state is that
this large and much needed con
struction program has been fi
nanced without the necessity of
asking the legislature or people of
the state for any appropriations
except $50,000 previously voted by
the legislature to help finance the
infirmary. Outright grants and
long-time loans by the Public
Works Administration, funds from
Works Progress Administration
and other federal agencies, gifts
from friends of the University and
funds on hand have provided the
money for the work.
One of the new buildings, the in
firmary, is expected to be ready
for occupancy when school opens,
and the library and physical educa
tion plant will be in use later in
the year. The old men’s gymna
sium will be made over into a
natatorium, and the old library
will house the school of law.
The new infirmary will cost
when completed $130,200; the li
brary, $464,734; physical education
plant, $356,850, and other construc
tion and remodelling, $158,000, a
total in new buildings of $1,110,
000.
Revenue for constructing the
new buildings amounts to;
$342,500 donated by the Public
Works Administration.
$510,000 borrowed from the fed
eral go\iernment through the PWA
agency.
$50,000 from a special state ap
propriation for University infirm
ary.
$23,438 already in the student
building fee funds.
$16,134 from the University
Alumni holding company.
$10,411 from the University
Mothers’ club for use in the in
firmary.
$302 from miscellaneous sources.
The new infirmary will be com
pleted by September 1, ready for
use when the University opens its
regular session September 21. The
building, up-to-the-minute. in every
detail, will cost approximately
$130,200 with equipment when
finished. It will be a completely
equipped, modern health service
unit. The two story building is 147
feet long and 46 feet wide, and
covers an area of 19,000 square
feet.
The new physical education
building is 425 feet long and 235
feet wide, covering an area of
about 60,000 square feet. The build
