Higher Educational Dispute Argued.
Portland, Or. Members of the state
board of higher curricula which met
here Monday to hear faculty members
of the University of Oregon and Ore
gon Agricultural college present num
erous alleged grievances fgainst sister
Institutions, adjourned to study the
many lengthy arguments of the speak
ers, the 56-page brief of the university,
the 212-page brief of the college, and
numerous pages of assorted docu
ments, reports and statements sub
mitted. Differences between the two
schools arose over alleged duplications
of courses In commerce, journalism,
music, education, physical education
and arts and sciences.
Salem. Or. Governor Pierce, In a
letter, has signified his intention ol
joining with George W. P. Hunt, gov
ernor of Arizona, In requesting that
all public lands, against which no en
try has been filed, be turned iver to
the stales for their disposal and bene
fit. Governor Hunt suggested In a
letter received by the Oregon oxcu
tive that these lands, upon being re
turned to the states, be used for main
mining schools, highways, state build
ings and public Institutions.
A matter of vital importance to ev
ery person on the project is the ques
tion of building a community hall. A
committee baa been named with Paul
Smith as chairman, representing the
the Modern Woodmen. John Brlce of
the IOO F, Nate Macomber of the
Legion, Mrs Leo Hoot of the Auxiliary
Mrs. ltoyal Kami of the R. N. of A.,

A cooperative spirit will make this
a success. If we have one, let's have
it large enough and1 so arranged that it
can In used for basket ball games, by
the school, in lieu of u gym. We rath
er Ilk ed the suggestion of Mr. Nlzer's
that it be built of rooks. It can be
charmingly hullt of cobble stones anil
there would lie no dearth of material.
From a financial standpoint, we are
not (nullified to state the merits of
the plan.
