official ASUO petition with the

Graduate students may also
hold a coffee hour to meet their

Board Requests
Increased Funds
The state board of higher edu
cation decided Monday to re
quest an additional $1,162,035
from the state legislature to meet
demands on state colleges cre
ated by a 14.5 per cent increase
in enrollments over last year.
The board agreed at the meet
ing in Portland to amend its
budget for operation for the
1955-57 period. The board’s fi
nance committee requested the
special Monday meeting as a
committee of the whole to dis
cuss the problem of the much
larger enrollments in state col
leges than planners had envis
ioned.
1900 More Students
The state system of higher edu
cation is educating 1900 more
students this year than it did
last, or in the words of OSC
President A. L. Strand, “the state
is educating enough more stu
dents to make up a good-sized
new college,"
Of the $1,162,035 in additional
funds which will be requested,
a total of $311,535 would be col
lected by the state as student
fees and tuition and the balance
of $850,500 would come from tax
sources.
The unexpected increases in
college enrollments throughout
the state this fall have thrown
off the estimated funds needed
for the next two years as well
as the present.
Morse to Speak
Only on Issues
Wayne L. Morse, Oregon's jun
ior senator, will speak Thurs
day at 1 p.m. in the Student
Union ballroom on “The Political
Issues of 1954.”
Morse has been requested to
limit his discussion to political
issues rather than personalities
involved in the senatorial cam
paign. He has been campaigning
for State Senator Richard L.
Neuberger, now Democratic can
didate for U.S. senator.
Elected to the U.S. senate in
1944, Morse was re-elected again
in 1950 on the Republican ticket.
In 1952 he bolted the party and
became the only Independent sen
ator in the present senate.
Thursday 1 o’clock classes
were moved up to the Tuesday 1
p.m. hour to enable students to
attend the lecture.
Picture Story ot Copernicus
To be Displayed This Week
A picture story of Nicholas
Copernicus, sixteenth century
astronomer who defied the primi

Photo Editor, Hews Photographers
Sought by Oregon Daily Emerald
The Emerald is looking both
for candidates for the newly cre
ated post of photo editor and for
news photographers, Associate
Editor Dick Lewis announced
Tuesday.
Those interested In news
photography are asked to meet
in the Emerald news office in
Allen hall at 7 p.m. Thursday,
Lewis added.
The new upper staff position
of photo editor is being created
in anticipation of the 24-hour
picture service that will be
available to the Emerald in No
vember. For the first time in its
history, the Emerald will be able
to print pictures of events that
took place the preceding day.
It is necessary that the photo
editor have some experience in
photography, but primarily he
will be an administrator, accord
ing to Lewis. The Emerald hopes
to build its staff to include four
or five photographers, including
at least one man to specialize in
sports.
The job of the photo editor
will be to work with the news,
feature, society and sports edi
tors in planning pictures. He will
then issue assignments to his
staff or contact other sources for
pictures.
The photo staff will have ac
cess to the new publications dark
room adjacent to the Emerald |
office. All film, paper and other
supplies are to be furnished.
Those attending the Thursday
meeting of potential photo edi
tors and photographers will be
shown the Emerald dark room.
Lewis will also review some of
the fundamentals of news pho
tography.
“Some experience in either pic
ture taking or printing is neces
sary for a staff position,” Lewis
said, but added, "interest in
photography is the main re
quirement.”
Those interested in news pho
tography, but unable to attend
the meeting, are asked to leave
their names and phone numbers
at the Emerald news office.
released the display for tour of
universities.
The illustrations are centered
around Copernicus’ book pub
lished shortly before his death
in 1543. The book was the first
modern discussion including ar
guments for and against the he
liocentric theory: that the sun
was the center of the universe.
With his theory, Copernicus
shook the religious belief that the
earth was changeless and mo
tionless. The display points out
that for two centuries his dis
ciples were persecuted for teach
ing the concept.
The exhibit will continue
through Friday.
Pallette Calls Meeting
For Future Teachers
Prospective teachers who are
seeking placement for mid-year
or next fall should attend a meet
ing at the school of education
Thursday at 4 p.m., according
to Earl M. Pallette, director of
the University teacher employ
ment service.
Those interested are requested
to enroll and to file applications
with the service’s office in 127
Education now as enrollment
should be completed before
Christmas, according to Pallette.
Chancellor Charles D. Byrne
explained to the board that the
greatest increases have been in
freshmen classes and at the grad
uate level. He pointed out that
the freshmen can be expected to
remain in school for at least two
years- the period for which the
legislature appropriates funds.
Predictions Invalid
Byrne said that another im
portant factor in the unexpected
enrollment increases is the doubt
of the validity of predicted en
rollments for the next two years.
The estimates already have been
revised from an expected in
crease of seven percent to eight
percent.
The University's increase was
the most surprising to experts.
Enrollment here increased nine
percent this fall, from slightly
over 4000 to 4406 students this
year. The new estimate predicts
4800 for next year and 5175 the
following year.
The total number of students
in state educational institutions
is now 14,725, with 15,961 ex
pected next fall and 17,336 two
years from now. The figures, are
for the eight institutions ad
ministered by the state board.
Fewer Special Students
Another important factor in
enrollment figures is the low
number of special students, gen
erally considered the “least
stable” group, according to Uni
versity President O. Meredith
Wilson. This group, the “least
likely to be back” next year, is
down from 266 a year ago to 241,
or a decrease of nine percent.
The board studied figures
which pointed out that the steady
growth of the University has
been possible despite the adverse
factors of the gradual destruc
tion of the University’s tradition
al monopolies on majors in phy
sical education and business ad
ministration by enlarged curricu
lums in these fields at Oregon
State; and the establishment of
Portland State college and its
status as a four-year college.
Estimates Made
The budget revision approved
by the board Monday was based
upon the amount of supplies and
the number of teachers needed to
handle the increased enrollments.
The estimates were made with
the student-teacher ratio, or the
number of students per teachers
at the institutions.
At the University, the ratio of
14.1 will increase to 14.4 next
year and to 15.0 the year after
that if the University is allowed
to hire the necessary new teach
ers.
