Court to Decide Dental School Spat IJF> ■— The Oregon State Su preme Court will decide, soon whe ther the University pf Oregoa dental school in Portland wiB re main under the University or havo an autonomous place in the stata system. The Oregon State Board of Higher Education put the school under the University, but tbo Oregon Dental association sued to get independence for the school, Circuit Judge Rex Kimmel of Sa lem then ruled in favor of tb*. dental association, but the state board appealed the case. Chancellor Charles Byrne bue said that meanwhile, construction of a new -dental school building may be held up until the court decision. In other action at its meeting ia. Portland Tuesday, the state boar«h took into consideration various methods of revising state law# which give the state finance direc tor the power of censorship eve? state publications. OSC to Teach New Ag. Economics Course Oregon State College won the light to teach an economics course from the State Board of Higher Education Monday, at the Univer sity's loss. Previous to this time, only the University could teach courses in economics. OSC Pres. A. L. Strand told the board the econ course is necessary to round out OSC’s pro gram for graduate students in agriculture. Acting University Pres. Victor P. Morris, said he had no objec tion to the agriculture course, but said he felt it should be labeled as an agricultural economics course. Presidents Testify The course will be called "Con temporary Economic Thought.” Both presidents testified before the board Monday. Although the catalog will list the course as limited only to grad uate agricultural economics stu dehts, Strand said the course is definitely general economics. The board gave permission to teach the course in the feeling that they should do everything possi ble to help OSC build itself into a “first class institution.” Censorship Feared The review power of the state director of finance also came un der attack at the meeting. The discussion arose out of a dispute between Strand and Harry Dorman, director of the state de partment of finance and adminis tration. Strand insists that Dor man's right to review and approve all state publications amounts to censorship power. Strand did not accuse Dorman of attempting to censor education al publications, but said that the power is there if an unscrupulous director wanted to use it. The state system and Dorman’s office have worked out a gentle man's agreement as a temporary compromise on the review power. However, the board did feel that a new law is needed to remove the possibility of censorship of ed ucational publications. A repre sentative of the board will meet with Gov. Paul Patterson to dis cuss proposed changes in the law. Mu Phi Schedules 'Focus on Bloch' ‘•Focus on Bloch" will be tho title of the music program to bo presented at 10:30 a. m.
