Business Researchers Say Gradual Improvement Seen For Oregon's Economy in '63 fn 1903 the* Oregon economy will continue to improve gradual ly, but at a rate leas rapid than that of the country as a whole, the Oregon Business Review re ported in its December issue The Review is published monthly by the University as Bureau of Busi ness Research DURING 1962, the level of fire gon business rose consistently, but the percentage of improve ment was less than that experi enced by the entire nation, the Review said. Although most indicators of Oregon economic activity went up considerably during the year, the state's economic expansion was insufficient to attract a net immi gration THE REVIEW said the 19H3 outlook for firms making prod ucts based on wood is mixed. "The major segment of this group of firms is lumber manufacturers, whose future appears rather dis couraging from both a short run and long run point of view. The outlook for pulp and paper and plywood is much better, although 1963 will certaily not be a year of unusual prosperity for any of the firms using wood as a raw materi al.” The type of construction that will actively determine the level of business activity in 1903 will remain high, but probably will not rise above the 1902 level, the Review continued. Although there are many large construction projects under way, the largest of which is the John Oay dam, there are few planned projects in the backlog. Tourism will not bring as much into the state in 1903 as in 1962 because the Seattle World’s Fair was an attraction to the Pacific Northwest in 1962 that will not have a counterpart in 1963. The Review said 1963 should be a comparatively good year for agriculture. Outlook for crop in come appears good and further livestock adjustments should en able that branch of agricultural activity to improve its contribu Increase in Hours of Use Shown In Classroom, Lab Standards Study Space utilization studies recent ly completed at the University show that in the 1962 fall term classrooms were being used to the full standard of 30 hours a week established by the State Board of Higher Kducation, Uni versity President Arthus Klein ming reported Monday. THIS IS a jump in classroom use from 28 7 hours a week in the fall term of 1901 and 26 6 hours per week in the fall term of I960 The University's clasroom uti! ization goal is 33 hours a week The President said that much of the improvement is due to new scheduling procedures. The report also showed the University use of laboratories has grown from 17 0 hours a week in 1960 and 177 hours a week in 1961 to 18 6 hours a week in 1962, or 93 per cent of the Board’s ob jective of 20 hours per week FIGURES ON the use of stu dent stations in classrooms show' average hours of weekly use has grown from 165 in 1960 to 16.9 HS Publications Seminar Readied A special four-week seminar for high school publications advis ers and teachers of journalism will be held at the School of Jour nalism during June and July, 19«3.

A Esslinger, dean of the school of health and physical ed ucation. applauded the system, saying. "It worked very smoothly with no problems . . .

We Never Close—Open 24 Hours Department Plans For Civil Defense Col. Louis i). Farnsworth, head of the Military Science Department has plans for a civil defense “dry run" so that living organizations may move in units to their respective areas for safety. Three points are to be con sidered a*- main aspects of these practice sessions: the drills themselves, the shelter areas, and the signs which will guide groups to their respective shel ter areas. Chairs Installed In Commonwealth Chairs have been installed in the corridors of Commonwealth Hall at the University to relieve the shortage of study space. The chairs were placed first in Commonwealth on a triai basis. If students find them satisfactory for studying, more chairs will be installed in the halls of other buildings, according to I. I. Wright, physical plant director. There are about 265 chairs available for the project. .Most of them were taken out of class rooms and stored when the ori ginal classrooms were remodeled into offices. Only buildings with wide cor ridors will be used, since a nine to ten-foot hallway is necessary in order to avoid traffic congestion. Called “gang chairs." they arc grouped in three, fastened to gether on a long board and fixed to the floor. SU Calendar Tuesday.
