A NEWS ARTICLE which we pub'ish tccl-ty sets forth some of the main facts regarding the progress of the University of Oregon gitt campaign. It is a worthy movement, well deserving of the support of every man and weman who believes in the, University of Ore gon and who favors giving the rising generation of boys and girls their maximum chance in the world through the equipment of higher education. The University of Oregon has in recent years been faced with a serious problem. Its attendance has been g; owing faster than have its facilities or ils maintenance funds. In 1913-14 there were 732 students enrolled. To day there are 2,389. For this year the total will reach 2500. Within the ten-year period just past the enroll ment in Oregon's high schools has almost trebled. Ten times as many high school graduates are going to higher institutions of learning as were going ten years ago. On the basis of all this it may be confidently predicted that at tendance at the University of Oregon will double again within the next five years. In 1920 the University of Oregon received from the state under the millage bills $806,497. In 1 924 it will re ceive $848,820. Thus the income frcm the state in fcur years has increased 5 per cent. Attendance in that four years has increased 39 per cent, eight times as fast. Ob viously a 5 per cent increase in income will not take care of a 39 per cent increase in attendance. The University must increase its income. Oregon is tax-burdened al ready, and the University does not desire to go to the tax payers for a larger millage tax. Hence the gift campaign. through this gift campaign the University hopes to raise $5,000,000 in five years. The money will be ex pended for new buildings and increased facilities. The University alumni have undertaken to raise $1,000,000 for three principal buildings. The current student body will finance another building, the Student Union. Citi zens of Eugene. have undertaken to raise $500,000 for a University auditorium. Thus a very substantial begin ning has been made. A little later the intensive campaign is to ramify. The whole public will be asked to partici pate. It is a worthy cause. Washington. Plans and esti mates for the Deschutes irrigation project will be submitted at the next regular session of congress, if a bill EXPERIMENT STATION NOTES (Alfalfa Varieties) In all 21 varieties of alfalfa of' alfalfa have "been tested at the I'ma tilla Experiment Station. The dif-j ference in yield between the poor est and best varieties lias averaged 2.29 tons; enough to determine the difference between profit and loss. The Grimm, which has given the highest yield, has averaged 200 pounds more than the next variety and 480 pounds more than the third variety. Grimm will probably justify th extra seed cost on shal low soils or those having a close water table but any standard strain is just as good for average condi tions, in general the hardy north ern varieties as Grimm, Black lulls common or seed fro mi good producing local fields should be planted rather than the tender southern varieties as Indian and Peruvian. GENUINE Li amended upon the motion of Con gressman N. J. Sirnott of Oregon, is passed by the house irrigation com mittee, it was learned today. Congressman Sinnolt appreared befoiv the committee this morning and asked for an amendment of the senate bill calling for plans and specifications of the Casper Alov;t irrigation projecu in Oregon, The amend mem was granted. The hill provides for the submis sion by the secretary of the interior at the next regular session of con mess, of plans and estimates for the Wyoming and Deschutes projects, the latter being a house amend ment, under ihe Sinnott proposal, to the senate bill. in spite of all that could be done. Arlington succeeded in getting tie Mulkeys to return to them again. Prof. J. O. Russell of Wasco, has been elected to fill his place and has signed up for the next year. Miss Wolff, Louise Sears and Mrs. Degendorffer have also signed thell contracts for the next year and we understand that Mr. Griggs also plans to return so we will not have an entirely new faculty although it is with keenest regret that we see Prof, and Mrs Mulkey, Mrs. Crowd er and Miss Hixon leave. The Annual Roll Call meeting of the Ladies Aid was held at the church Wednesday afternoon. The attendance was not as large as is usual at this meeting- because of spring work on the farms and so no means of transportation was available. Mesdames Edwards and Brownell of I'matilla. accompanied Rev. "and Mrs. Hughes down and were guests of the Boardman Aid. Routine business was transacted and a short program given. Mrs. Chas Wicklander gave two readings which were enjoyed and Mary Anne Chaf fee gave the recitation about "Aun tie's Dress," which was so appreci ated recently at a school program. Gloria Wicklander and Jessie Klages sang two little motion songs. After the program most delicious coffee and cake was served. The roll was called during the meeting and let ters from some absent members were read. The campaign inaugurated in behalf A the Univer ity of Oregon to obtain MM0fli(KH) in five years through gifts has reached the active stae cf its progress. On May 9 there will be in augurated by the University alumni, who have taken upon themsolve the task of raising $1,000,000 of the sched uled $5,000,000 as their share, a three weeks' intensive drive. Former stu dents of the University everywhere, the world over, are to participate. Necessity is the spur which is driv ing the University of Oregon gift cam paign. Attendance at the University is increasing so fast that it is outgrowing the facilities. Attendance within the past four years has increased 39 per cent. During the same period the Uni versity's income from the state has in creased but 5 per cent. All of the Uni versity's buildings are crowded. Some of them are over-crowded. Not only is the attendance growing, but the rate of increase in the attendance is grow ing. These facts and the further one that the University prefers not to ask appropriations from the over-taxed pub lic for increased facilities, furnish the reasons for the gift campaign. This campaign was inaugurated a year ago. but it has only recently be come fully organized and begun to at tain real headway. The first big effort of the campaign is that to be made by the alumni from May 9 to May 30. With the $1,000,000 which the alumni propose to raise it is intended to pro- , vide a new library, a gymnasium and a splendid memorial court. Citizens of Eugene" in a mass meeting held re cently have pledged themselves to pro ride $500,000 for a splendid auditorium to be built on the University campus, big enough to accommodate from 5,0o0 to 6,000 students. At present it Is not possible to hold an assembly of all stu dents indoors, because there is no building at the University which will accommodate the 2.400 students now in attendance. The current student body has pledged as its contribution to the gift campaign the funds necessary to supply a building for the Students' Union. The alumni of the University are taking the lead in the campaign. After they have completed their share of the work and the fund, a similar drive to theirs is to be m ide among the citl renB of Oregon generally. .Through the alumni drive it is expected that the scope and purpce of the plan will be come familiar to the public generally, so that the progress of the state-wide campaign to come later will be facili tated. Efforts also are being made to enlist the contributions of persons cf means everywhere who have special reasons for interest in the University ' of Oregon. The "kick-off" of the alumni Inten sive campaign on May 9 Is to take the form of drive dinners. Wherever there I is a group organized for the campaign, in Oregon and out, that group will get together at table on the evening of May 9 and launch the drive. After the sleep of death we are to gather up our forces again with the incalculable results of this life, a crown of shame or of glory on our heads, and begin again on the new level of progress.- Hugh R. Hawers Protection is the price of obedi ence everywhere, in all countries. It is the only thing that makes gov ernment respectable. Deny it, and you cannot have free subjects or citizens, you may have slaves. Robert Toombs. Last Thursday evening was a memorable one to the teachers and superintendent of the school when they were guests at a most bounti ful dinner at the Clarence Berger home. The table fairly groaned with tempting viands according to all re ports and the fortunate ones who partook were Prof, and Mrs. Mul key, the Misses Barbara Hixon, Juanita Wolff, Louise SeaTs, Mrs Crowder and Mrs. Degendorffer, and Mr. Griggs. 2, bam for A BAG You can roll 100 Cigarettes forlS Cents "For j.evei years the people have Lome with uncomplaining courage the trenendous burden of national and local taxation.
