$40,000 Business Placed
In Hands of Manager Root;
Fees to Be rStepped9 Again
When George Root was named educational activities manager to
replace Ralph S. Schomp last spring, he became the educational activi
ties board’s executive administrator to a business with a turnover of
more than $40,000 annually.
’Students fees, which will be stepped again this vear at $7 for fall,
$5 for winter, and $3 for spring- terms, provide $6,634.44 of the ten
tative income budgeted for 1937-38. 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.
Looming large in both the in
come and expense columns of the
educational activities budget is the
Oregana. It is expected to glean
$11,500 and to cost $11,285. Of the
expenses, $2,200 is to be spent on
engraving and $500 on photogra
phy for this year's book. Oregana
circulation is valued at $7,500, $2,
800 is derived from organizations,
and $1,200 is the budgeted value of
advertising.
Advertisers Pay $7,000

Tbe growth of the University

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

duo to the changed attitude of
most students toward work. Fu

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

Through the school year 1930
1937, 12 per cent of the student

Best Physical Plant in History
3 New Structures Place
Oregon Assets at Peak
Of All Time; Academic
Growth Keeps Pace
Ti'P University of Oregon this
f..t| hoo-ins its sixty-first year of
educational service.
S>n“e October 10. 1876. "hen it
opened :ts i,nnrs as a "tate-SMn
c^rtc-l ins4if"t'on to its first class,
the T'nivcrsitv’s hisforv has l>ccn
ooc of steady persistent proerress,
From a single hnildln", now-ven
crahlc Deadv hall, it has grown to
! a broad, green campus studded
with buildintrs which house the cal
ipees that make it a true univer
sity.
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.
To the east are the men’s dormi
tories. Alpha, Zeta, Gamma, Ome
ga, Sigma, and Sherry Ross halls,
centered about the John Straub
memorial hall court an(i dining
rooms; the new men’s gym, McAr
thur court, and the University hos
pital.
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.
Total tuitions and fees cost will be
$30 for resident enrollees and out
of-state students must pay an ad
ditional $40. This does not include
gvm suit fees, which will remain
at $2, or special fees for instruc
tion in applied music.
Of the $30, $10 goes for tuition,
$11.50 for laboratory and course
fees, $3 50 for health service fees,
and $5 goes into the building fund,
fund.
A matriculation fee of $5, not re
fundable, has been added this year,
which each new undergraduate
must pay. All students must make
the usual $5 deposit, refunded at
the end of the year with fines and
breakage deducted.

‘My! How You Talk
Joe, Betty Sling Slang
By WEN BROOKS
Adam and Eve. Antony and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet. .. one and
all had a name for it. And Joe College and Betty Coed also have a name
for it . . . leastwise, here at Oregon.
Yes, probably one of the most famed of Oregon's idiosyncrasies i3
that quaint custom of "pigging.” Pigging consists merely of boy plus
girl in a favorable situation, or. should I say, enjoying a favorable re
lationship with each other unto themselves. When two of opposing sexes
are “keeping company” on this ! i-—-----.
campus they are known as “pig
jers.”
Delightful and most truly ro
mantic terminology, what? Yes,
but you’ve not heard the half of
t, really. When Joe and Betty start
manufacturing the slang they real
y swing it!
The fellows, for example, have
called Betty everything from a
‘calorific mama,” or a “sheba,” to
a, “cold shudder.” The former have
plenty of sex appeal as the terms
might suggest. The latter? Well
. . she would not be a "repeater,"
if you get me. A "lulu” is altogeth
sr desirable. A “clinging vine,” or
