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

average hours of weekly use has

A. A Esslinger, dean of the
school of health and physical ed
ucation. applauded the system,
saying. "It worked very smoothly
with no problems . . . There was
some waiting when a new alpha
bet group came, but the conges
lion usually cleared up quickly.”
“I am very happy to say that
there were fewer lines, no mob
action, broken bones or cut kids,”
stated Kester Svendsen, dean of
the English department. Svend

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.

rector.
Terry P. Jones, a graduate stu
dent from Dublin. Ireland, has a
