12 THE SUNDAY OREGOyUN, PORTLAyP, DECEMBER 8, 1913- STATE UNIVERSITY CUTS ITS BUDGET Sum Granted by Last Legisla ture Cut From $503,000 to $205,000. BARE NECESSITIES IS PLEA Badly-Needed Library Mast Wait. Say Regents In Slicing 3Iore Than Half in Appropriation Asked of Lawmakers. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Dec. 7. (Special.) To hold down to the bare necessities and to Join whole heartedly In the state-wide movement for economies in public expenditures was the decision of the board ot regents of the State University today when it put the knife Into the budget passed by the last Legislature and cut the total from J503.000 to J205.000. The university's requests at Salem are to be confined to the following items: $100,000 for a new classroom building; 75.0O0 for repairs and minor additions; J50.000 a year for two years for additional maintenance and 116.000 a year for two years for correspond ence and extension work, a total of 1205.000 for the biennlum. The procedure favored by the regents was the submission of these items to Governor West with the request that he should lay the university's needs before the ways and means committee. Library Mast Walt. The badly-needed library building will have to wait for some future time. In its place it is proposed to epend only 130.000 which is to be used to at tain two ends with the same money. A fireproof shell of brick is planned as a wing to the present library, which will preserve the valuable collection of 0.000 volumes belonging to the state and at the same time will leave more of the old part of the building for the students who now frequently have to stand in line for places to study. The greater part of the $30,000 It is planned to expend for fireproof steel shelves which can be removed to a more suitable 'building as one is pro vided. The brick walls themselves are to be made as inexpensive as possible. Nearly half the amount to be asked of the Legislature or $100,000 is wanted for a classroom building and Its necessary furniture and heating. Since the last building on the campus was erected, the number of students has doubled and the buildings are crowded past the point of sanitary Justification. Every basement on the campus is cut up into recitation room and as an illustration of the condition may be taken the case of the professor who is in charge of one of the important r departments. He begins his day In the ante-room of the president's office, a room about 12 by 12. Throughout the day he carries his books and apparatus from one borrowed room to an other, meeting classes and successively up stairs in Deady hall. In the basement of the library, and in Villard Hall until noon. After luncheon he Is back in the president's ante-room again. His desk Is in still another building, McClure '. Hall, where he has a corner of the basement. The other items that go to make up the amount asked for equipment are ' needed for general repairs and for Im proving and extending the heating sys tem that is supposed to warm all the rooms on the campus. The board estimates 350,000 per an num for general maintenance and 15000 for Summer school extension work to complete the requests to be laid before the Legislature. The continuing sup port granted by the electorate six years ago is $125,000 a year. At that time the number of students was 701 as against 1174 now In actual residence. Money is needed to meet a call for edu cational assistance that has come from all parts of the state and which has be come especially Insistent since women have been granted the franchise. The Summer school, too. is making a- -considerable draft on the university with its work of helping the grade and high school teachers of the state keCp in touch with the newest improvements in their lines of work. Many Demands Are Made. The demand from the public the uni versity is especially anxious to be able to meet la one for helping the municipal affairs of the smaller towns. Practical instruction is sociology and economics also Is widely demanded, and guidance Is wanted for classes of adults in parts of Oregon remote from the campus. The call comes largely from women many of them isolated in farming sec tions, and others already working to gether in Improvement clubs. Professor Young, the head of the de partment of sociology, believes that the demand has reached snch proportions that the state cannot advisedly ignore it, and that the proper policy is to es tablish centers of municipal govern ment in various places, such as those by which the University of Wisconsin has made itself the servant of the smallest communities in the state as well as the largest and of stay-at-home as well as the student in residence. Questions of civic sanitation, city planning and community improvement are being forced on the university from all over Oregon. There are already S15 students scat tered all over Oregon who are doing university work by mall. Communica tions are received dally, and only lack of means prevents the rapid extension of the work. For six years the university has thrived and educated In ever-increasing numbers the sons and daughters of Oregon, without a single new building or a single increase In the amount allotted for maintenance. It is now an Institution of twice the educational value it had when the people passed trie continuing appropriation, but its material equipment Is the same, and Is declared by President Campbell o be entirely inadequate. Hla-h Standard Necessary. "Even In a year of the utmost economy, such as was enjoined by the people upon all th departments of the State of Oregon," said the president, "it Is extremely advisable that the state should spend enough on Its Insti tutions to safeguard Its previous In vestments. Th regents limited the budget to those which are imperatively demanded In order to maintain under the pressure of new conditions the high standard of efficiency In the uni versity." In addition to the amounts recom mended for the departments of the uni versity at Eugene, the regents also recommended an annual appropriation of (30,000 tor the medical department located in Portland. The medical school was given $15,000 per year by the last Legislature. It has materially raised Its require ments for admission, and is now ranked In "Class A" by the American Medical Association. The Increase In appropria tion Is needed in order to- enable the medical school to maintain Its standard In the face of the rapidly increasing demands that are being made upon It.

Special Week's Course Opens at Agricultural College. POULTRY SHOW IS FEATURE Livestock Received for Demonstra tion in Meat Cutting and Raw Material of Familiar "Rubber" Steak "Will Be Seen. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 7. (Special.) Every thing at the college Is now in readi ness for the opening of the special lectures and demonstrations of Farm ers' week on Monday. The most .trikinir visible sisms of the prepara tions which have been going on for the past six weeks are the appear ance of a big circus tent set up back of the new dairy building for the poultry show and the arrival last night of a strangely assorted shipment of livestock conslgnea to me aepan men nf Animal husbandry. This shipment of stock consists of three steers, tnree sneep an inrtt hoirs. the animals to be used in con nection with the ,meat demonstrations to be given at the college armory next Wednesday and Friday. One of the steers is a first-class beet animal. Another which will not grade as high is typical of. many which are sold to Oregonians as "prime beef" and a third hardly marketable creature. Is the un familiar source of the entirely familiar "rubber steak." The sheep and hogs represent the same class of meat animals as are rep resented by the steers and will be the Giihlects of lecture by J. E. Forestel, of Portland, manager of the Union Meat Company's retail market. On Friday the dressed carcasses of these nine animals will serve as the material for demonstrations by w. M.
