NEEDS MORE MONEY
Far less money is asked of the
legislature by the Oregon Agri
cultureal College this year, in
proportion to the growth of the
...... . .
institution, than was appropri
ated in 1911. The regents have
cut all estimates down to the ex
treme minimum, and will call for
$64,500 for increased mainten
ance, buildings, repairs, etc.,
than the legislature of two years
ago granted.
When the college budget is pre
sented, the state will be asked for
$249,000 for buildings, equip
ment, repairs, improvements,
books and periodicals, and for
an increase of $50,000 a year for
maintenance during the next
two years. Of these amounts
$107,000 is for additional build
ings; $60,000 for equipment ;$35,
uuu ior repairs ana improve
ments; $11,000 for remodeling
Science Hall; $21,000 for exten
sion of the heating plant; and
$15,000 for books and periodicals.
But one large building is re
quested, that for the home econ
omics work now divided between
the crowded girls' dormitory and
the agronomy building. For this
$100,000 appropriation is asked
When this is built and proper
heat is given the stock judging
pavilion and farm mechanics
building, it will be necessary to
put $21,000 into extension of the
heating plant, installing an ad
ditional boiler and enlarging and
lnncrfhnninir the COllduilS. TIlO
rebuilding of the live stock build
ing will take $5,000 and $2,000 is
needed for a small storage struc
ture for inflamable materials and
show supplies.
Smnneo Hall was built for
nfrriniilturnl instruction, but is
"O
now usea ior ino cnomisuy iiu
pharamacv work. The impera
tive need of more laboratory space
and the nrcsent unfitness of the
rooms available make remodel
ing which will cost $11,000 ab
solutely noccssar'v at once. Tho
college is in great need of a H
brarv building, and the best care
of the health of the students
would demand a gymnasium, in
view of appropriations of more
urgent necessity, the regents
have decided not to ask for them
this year. They wish to relieve
the pressure on the state trea
sury, and are doing all they can,
though the rapid growth of all
lenartments warrants a mucn in
creased appropriation for the
work of the next two years.
The renort of the register'
shows enormous increase in both
the regular and special courses,
but the instructional force has
not kept pace with this growth in
attendance. Registration in
agronomy, for instance, is 60 per
cent greater than two years ago,
butlthe instructional force but
38 per cent more: and in the div
ision of norticuiture tne worK
las nearly doubled, with only 18
