State Board Governs 7 Institutions i no controlling ixxiy or tlx seven institutions which compose the Oregon State System of High er (education is the State Hoard of Higher Education, a nine member group appointed hy the governor. The appointments are ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Oregon State Senate. Each Hoard member is appoint ed for a six year term Present chairman of the Hoard is Charles It. Holloway, Jr. of Portland. The Hoard usually meets once each month except during August at a facility of one of the higher edu cation institutions. The alTairs of the entire State System are coordinated hy a single administrative officer, the chancellor, who is presently Hoy. E I.ieuallen. The chancellor’s office is located in Johnson Hall on the University campus. Meets Biennially Since the Oregon legislature meets only during odd numbered years, the Board must make its requests for operating and con struction funds to cover the two year period between legislative sessions. The 1965 session of the legis lature passed in May a budget appropriation of $127 million for higher education in the 1965 67 biennial period Of this amount, $96 million was for operating ex penses and $29 million will go to finance new construction on the state campuses. Although 25 building projects were approved for the present biennium for the State System, the University only has two on the list. Two Additions Listed These are an addition to the Science Huilding ami a class room, office, and teaching center which will involve additions to Prince L u c i e n Campbell and Condon halls. The Legislature approved only some $2 5 million in state funds for the Science Huilding project, but recent federal grants, includ ing one for $4 million received in May from the National Science Foundation, have made it pos sible to raise the overall project allowance to $4 8 million. This means that all but 7,000 square feet of the Science Build ing expansion will be completed under the revision. No additional state funds are required. Ceiling Increased Federal grants from the U S. Office of Education have also in creased the ceiling of the second project from $1 5 million to $2 1 million This project will include ;m eight story addition to Camp bell Hall and a three-story addi tion to Condon Hall The facili lies are intended primarily for ! graduate students’ use. Construction on the two proj ects should begin during winter j term. Because of a new policy adopted by the Legislature toward the Hoard's requests, the University didn’t get approval of everything it wanted In addition to this, the lawmakers always reduce the requested funds to balance with state money available. The Board bad requested over $44 million for construction for the biennium. Two Categories Formerly, construction projects for the higher education institu tions were listed in two cate gories. One list included build ings from which no revenue is derived — the purely academic buildings. The other list included facilities financed by borrowing from the state by means of bonds, with the bonds paid off with revenue from the facility. These latter projects were known as "self-liquidating,” be cause their cost would eventually be paid off from their income. They included such things as dor mitories, parking facilities, ten nis courts and swimming pools. Hut the last legislature found that it is legal for academic buildings to be financed by using the bonds. So the Board was asked to combine all of its build ing requests into one master list, putting the projects in order of priority. With this system in use, the academic buildings were given lopsided attention when funds were approved, and such things as dormitories and park ing lots were moved further down the long OO-item li*rt. Board Given Problem This has presented the Board with a problem, since the Uni versity and several other state schools had no dormitory housing facilities on the approver list I.icuallcn expressed concern that the housing shortage will become critical before the 1907 biennium at the University, as well as on other campuses. In late summer, reservations for dormitory rooms were running well ahead of avail able spaces at the University. Board Concerned Since University freshmen under 21 and single must live in dormitories or co-operative houses, this means that upper classmen will find few’er and fewer rooms available for them in the dormitories.

Greek houses are not expanding to meet the shortage, and the likelihood of having no new dormitories for at least three years poses serious problems here and on other campuses. The chan cellor is currently preparing a study for the Board on the whole housing situation in the State System. The Board has among its duties such things as approving all salary changes for teachers and admin istrators in the State System, and changing tuition rates, in Octo ber, 1963, one of the greatest fi nancial crises of the Board’s his tory hit when the voters of Ore gon failed to approve a tax in crease for higher education. The entire State System suffered the loss of anticipated revenue that year, and operations in nearly all departments of the University were somewhat curtailed. As a result, the Board had to raise tuition the following spring. The rates jumped shockingly— from $270 per year for residents to $330, and from $600 to $900 for non residents. The out-of-state tuition level of $900 places the University among the highest in the nation among state-operated institutions. 35% DISCOUNT Were famous for having a large assort ment of stripe and muted plaid sport shirts (and we dol) in stock to serve you.
