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.

The Board is concerned about
tins impending housing shortage,
even to the degree that some
members feel that the schools
should go into the business of
running co-operative houses, as
has been done at Oregon State
University. 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.
