Campus Profs Split Evenly On Court Issue Borah’s Plan of Reforms Meets Little Approval; Psychologists Favor Change in Status Quo A survey of Oregon professors yesterday in regard to their opin ions on the supreme court reform tangle decided little except that they are overwhelming opposed to Senator Borah's states’ rights amendment. Of a score questioned, 16 were against it. Opinion Divided On the president's plan they were almost evenly divided, 12 be ing against it and 11 in favor. Al though the savants don't believe in packing the court they were sure about their opinion in regard to the status quo, 17 desiring a change while only 6 wanted things to go on as they are. Questioned in regard to their decisions on some other constitu tional amendment to facilitate the passage of social and economic legislation, they were again almost evenly divided, this time the nod being in favor, 12 to 10. Considered in schools, the psy chologists were most desirous for a change, all except one of them being favorable toward Roosevelt’s plan, and only one holding out for the status quo. BA Profs Oppose The business administration pro fessors took the opposing side, go ing unanimously against the re tirement of justices at the age of 70 as proposed by the president. A number of the Oregon profes sors had their own proposals. D. D. Gage, of the business adminis tration school, suggested a divi sion of the court into two parts, one to pass on the constitutional ity of congressional legislation, the other to take care of appealed cases. He also suggested retire ment at the age of 75. Prof. J. H. Bond, also of the BA school, admitted that he did not disagree with the retirement policy at 70, but he wanted no packing of the court. He suggest ed that a three-fourths majority be required in decisions of the court before a law could be de clared contrary to the constitu tion.

Cheerful Color Aids Patients to Recovery Cheerfulness is the theme brought out in the new color scheme for hospitals which has been employed in the interior decoration of the new University infirmary. The patient no longer fears such things as medicine, nurses, death, as he enters the hospital. Perhaps the conventional color scheme, everything blinding white, was based on some scientific motive for sanitation, and perhaps it was the pitucueni or eariy nospnai design ers. Have you heard of snow-blind ness ? The same disease is possible under the all-white regime, and so modern science has taken a step forward. Patients in a hospital are al ways affected somewhat by ner vousness, which is not reduced by the cold, blinding white walls of the sick room. University students have been considered, and the all-white situ ation of ordinary hospitals is al tered to delicate shades of cream, tan, buff, and rose tan in the con struction of the new building-. These tints are so blended that the oppressive atmosphere of the av erage hospital is not present. The walls of the halls are even cordial, and the visitor need not feel "starched” in these surroundings. A scientific study of patients was made and the result was found be that of an air of cheerfulness and happiness was more prevalent when the walls of the room were tinted with a light green. All wards and rooms at the infirmary have been elicately painted this shade. There is a practical side to the new interior decoration. All-white walls have a tendency to reflect and cause inadequate lighting. This is especially noted in surgeries, where perfect light is essential. This new scientific step has been found beneficial to all those affil iated with the hospital, and i3 pleasing to the visitors.
