Outgoing board members are Don Dole, Ann Woodworth, and Joe Richards. Barbara Heywood and Bill Green will continue as members next year. Co-op Manager G. D. Henson outlined the expenditure of the yearly Co-op membership fee with the aid of an illustrative chart. 73.8 per cent of the member’s dollar fee goes for the cost of goods sold, he said, with textbooks consuming over half the sales. Personnel salaries account for 12.7 per cent of the fee, Henson said. The remainder includes 3.6 for administrative expense, 2.1 for taxes, and 3.3 for patrons’ rebate. Four and one-half per cent goes for net profits. A net profit of $22,000 was real ized for the past year, according to Henson. Of this approximately half has been set aside for revalu ation of inventory. Another half is put aside for possible contingency. Primarily, Henson said, these are bookkeeping figures, and a cer tain amount of the sums is includ ed in merchandise.

The program will be spread over t period of 12 years, and will in :lude all of the state colleges and itate institutions. It would be financed by an im nediate $8,000,000 state appropri- • ition, plus a two-cent cigarette :ax which would be referred to the Jeople at the election in Novem ber, 1950. Of this $8,000,000 higher sducation would get $6,000,000 and State institutions $2,000,000. No action was taken on a mo :ion by Senator Dean H. Walker, Independence, to allow spending mly $5,000,000 until the people /ote on the cigarette tax. The buildings would have to be approved by the state emergency ooard before construction could begin. Other improvements on the list include: library at Oregon College of Education; medical dental unit it University of Oregon Medical school; library and classroom building at Southern Oregon Col lege of Education; library and mu seum at Eastern Oregon College of Education; and an animal science and dairy food industry building at Oregon State College. New Requirements For BA Majors? New requirements for students majoring in business administra tion will be decided upon at a staff meeting to be held Thursday after noon, according to Victor P. Mor ris, dean of the business school. The new stipulation will not af fect those business students who graduate this June. Necessary ad justments will be made for next year’s seniors. IS Training Now Easier? Faculty Considering Proposal To Halt Military Service Credit Today's faculty meeting will in-1 elude on its agenda a proposal to "terminate wartime legislation granting credit in military sci ence and physical education for training received in military ser vice.” According to Dean R. W. Leigh ton of the school of health and physical education, the change, if approved, would not affect veter ans now enrolled in the Univer sity, on those discharged before spring, 1949. However, veterans discharged after this spring would be required to enroll in regular physical education, health, and military science courses required for junior certificate and gradua tion. “Our wartime provision,” ex plained Dean Leighton, “was to aid veterans who had undergone stren uous physical and military train ing. However, conditions have changed. Men now get a different type of training, and are in the ser vice for a shorter period of time.” The faculty committee which has been studying the plan ia headed by Paul R. Washke of the physical education school. Also on the faculty meeting cal endar are a motion which would allow graduate students to register in the University courses for less than the number of term hours re quired in the catalog, and the nom ination of candidates for member ship on the advisory council.
