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.

Prepared by Raymond Platts, graduate student )n Or. O. I». Gage's course in advanced statistics, this
chart is designed to show what one of President Franklin I). Roosevelt’s motives might be in attempting
to change the personnel of the supreme eourt by establishing an age limit for judges and adding more
judges when those who refuse to retire reach a certain age limit, Judge Brandies, 80, and the court’s
baby” member, Judge Roberts, 82, are the exceptions to the general trend (which the grapli indicates)
of judges over 70 voting in the majority against the president’s legislation.
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.
