Educational activities receive 40 Tier cent of the total derived from fees, with 60 per cent going to ath letic activities. Funds Available, $44,357.10 Estimated income for the com ing fiscal year, including the $6, 634.44 portion of fees, is $39,348.28. Cash on hand as of June 30, 1937, is $2,201.21. These sums, plus $36161 in accounts receivable, $2,000 in payment from the ath letic board, and $446 payment from the athletic board for its share of the band and administration ex penses, leaves a total of funds available as $44,357.10. Operating expenses of the stu dent corporation are budgeted at $40,151 25. Payments on “old” debts total $5,511.29. Of this last sum, $4,899 29 is in accounts pay able, and $612 goes to the alumni holding company.

Fig ures show that during: the past veir 2.OHS odd-iobs were filled through the employment office (exclusive of NYA) as compared wibt 104 odd-iobs filled in 1032. This p-rowth is largely due to the cooperation of the people of F.u "ape. Miss Smith savs. Tt is also duo to the changed attitude of most students toward work. Fu geneans, however, have v/orked hand in hand with the University employment service, cooperating in every way possible so as to give more needy students work which would see those students through school. Permanent Jobs During the past summer 130 odd iobs were filled through Miss Smith’s office and fourteen per manent placements made. Through the school year 1930 1937, 12 per cent of the student enrollment (an average of 373 stu dents a term) had NYA help. Now the federal allotment has been re duced so that only 8 per cent of the enrollment (last year's enroll : ment figures) will receive NYA aid ' this year.

Yet the physical growth of the campus has been paralleled and out-stripped bv its academic erowth. Its educational record and reputation indicate that the in vestment in the physical plant has been a productive one. New Buildings CVownine' the physical growth of the University are three buildinys, the library, physical education plant, and infirmary, opened with in the past vear and worth, in all, more than $1 000.000. So the freshman class of 1911 eomes to an Oregon campus at the hiah point of 61 years of develop ment, when the University is richer in material resources than at any other time in its history. Created in 1872 Created bv an act of the state legislature in 1872. facilities for instruction were not made avail* able until four years later, when the University formally opened its doors. Todav the campus covers about. 100 acres. It is divided by 13th street into the north and south camnuses. Building's on the north cammis include the older group, as well as some newer structure. They are Peadv. Villard, McClure, and Friendly halls; and Commerce. Oregon, Journalism, the Old Lib rary, the newlv-reconstrueted nata torium, and the buildings housing the school of architecture and al lied arts. The South Campus On the new south campus are Johnson hall (administration!, Condon hall, the education group, the music auditorium; Susan Campbell, Hendricks, and Mary Spiller halls (women's dormitor ies! ; Gerlinger hall, and the his tory house, the new library, and the Murray-Warner Museum of Oriental art.

Back With Honors He turned to his work os dean of the University of Oregon school of law is Wayne L. Morse. In addition to retaining his position as head of the attorney general’s survey on criminal release procedures, Dean Morse will edit a five-work series on results of the survey. Back at the Old Job September will find C. V. Boyer hack at his position as dean of the college of arts and letters, a position he has never relinquished while acting as president of the University. lie will retain his position as president until Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter and the state board of higher education are successful in their search for a man to replace him. Their selection will probably be announced in September.

Student 'Labor9 Gets 5-Day Week Without Sit-Down Without resorting' to sit-down strike, conciliation, or arbitra tion, Oregon students have been rid of one of the major perils of college existence- the Saturday class. University of Oregon profes sors. perhaps with selfish mo tives, abolished the obnoxious study hours at a faculty meet ing held earlier this year. Informed sources claimed that the professors' move was forced by the prospect of having half the classes excused for football games and the other half unat tended while sleepy students caught up on their snoring. Enrollment Expected to Be 3000; Registration ! Will Begin Sept. 22, Lasts 3 Days Enrollment at the University will total over 3000 students for fall term, a forecast released by Assistant Registrar Clifford I.. Constance indicates. Compiled from a comparison of last year’s enrollment figures and from pre-registration material re leased to prospective new students, the forecast predicts an increase of five per cent over fall term of last year. Although freshman week opens Monday, September 20, registra tion for old students will not begin until September 22. The major part of the orientation period fin ished, freshmen will begin the pro cess of enroilment September 23. Classes Begin Sept. 27 When the furor of the three-day allotted registration period has cleared at noon Saturday, Septem ber 25, nearly 1800 men and 1300 women will be ready to begin the following Monday. Registration materials will bo released to new undergraduate stu dents when they go to their con ferences with their advisors, who will be stationed in McArthuP court. The procedure of advising and registration for these students has been combined, Mr. Constance states, along with the moving of underclass advisors from Condon hall where they were last year to The Igloo.Registration for new stu classes the following Monday. Red Books in Johnson Returning collegians will get their red books and other materials at the second floor offices in John- ' son hall. They will complete e rollment and make fees paymei in McArthur court, beginning Set tember 22. Fees for this year have been in creased slightly at both Oregon and OSC, figures released reveal.
