University of Oregon, with other units at Corvallis, home of the Dtate college, and at La Grande, Mon mouth and Ashland, sites of the nor mal schools, all under one administra tive head. Vote Averted His proposal was thus definitely be fore the board when, just before ad- I journment, an actual vote on consoll- I dating administration was narrowly averted and deferred until April when the board meets in Portland. At that time, it appears certain serious consideration to a consolidation pro gram will be given, Albert Burch, Medford, offered I motion just before the board ad' journed Monday evening that the uni versiiy and state college be put under on head "whenever it can best be done. Mrs. Cornelia Marvin Pierce, Governor Meier's only appointee to tiio education board, seconded the mo tion. 0. C Colt.

Agreement In the main with the rec ommendations of the federal higher education survey, althouich atandine determinedly against the proposal to amputate higher division pura sci ence, is the attitude of the University of Oregon as revealed in briefs pre pared for the mate board of higher education. Iteinovnl of commerce from Ore gon IS t ate college to the university would save 1100.000 a year und would necessitate an expenditure of only $4,0U in building changes, the briefs slate. The university endorses the junior college, plan of the survey, and takes up the whole list of recom mendations point by point. The sum mary of the university brief follows: 1 he University administration ap proaches the problems raised by the survey with an eager desire to con- i tribute to the esnential unity of the I whole system of higher education in its five branches and at the same time to recognize two fundamental and es sential factors in the present situa tion: First, that the popular protect against duplication must be suuarely met and a definite nnd -Jatisfactory answer pi 'en to this fust demand. The second factor is the absolute necessity for rigid economy of the mot exact ing type. The present economic sit uation, as well as the impatience of the people with costly duplir-atinn. re quires the most thorough elimination of all courses that are not absolutely esnentisl. While admitting that dupli cations mny seem necessary nt times to enrich existing curricula, ttiey should be pared down to courses con sidered indispensable. Luxuries and conveniences must he sacrificed if the Oregon system of higher education is to retain the con fidence and support of the public In the nresent economic situation. As normnl prosperity returns liberal sup port will again be granted to our In stitutions of higher learning; but even this should not be- ei peeled unless we show a willingness to eliminate the luxuries of duplication and devote our College is Generally Against Proposals In Report SEE HALL STORY PAGE 4 An attnek on the statistics (riven In the survey report, a defensive aritu nient for music.

It mny be argued flint this Is nro terling a single institution rather than developing the stnte-nlde system. Hut unless eneh institution in the srstem nns a near field in Much to function, the system itself is bound to fail.
