Ore., July 24. (AP) Wrestling with the desperate finan cial prospects of the coming blen nlum, 193S-37, the etate board o! higher education yesterday heard a lengthy detailed report of the situ ation from Chancellor W. J. Kerr, and after transacting other routine busi ness, went Into executive session with the finance committee to decide what tentative budgets will be sub mitted to the governor In advance of the next legislature. No discussion of the progress be ing made In the search for a new chancellor was made In the open meeting, the situation remaining as It was at the June session when a committee wss appointed to look over the field to seek a successor to Chancellor Kerr who previously had announced his Impending voluntary retirement. Reelect Board. This was the annual organization meeting, with all present officers of the board belnE reelected. These are Wlllards Marks. Albany, president; C. A. Brand, Roseburg. vice presi dent; B. P. Irvine. Portland, treas urer, and E. C. Sammons, the third member of the executive committee. C. D. Bvrne. present acting secretary, was reappointed to that position. Other members of the board present were Lelf Flnseth. Dallas, and Mrs. Cornelta Marvin Pierce, La Grande. In his report to the board Chan cellor Kerr reemphaslzed atatementa he had made previously that higher education Is facing a real crisis, the magnitude of which even many con nected with the institutions them selves do not fully understand. Must Report Needs. "It Is not for us to decide what the state can afford for higher edu cation, that Is the province of the legislature," declared the chancellor. 'But It Is our duty to report to the governor, the legislature and the peo ple what the Instltutlona must have If they are to continue to exist and render the service for which ' they were created by the people. "The time has come that the peo ple must know that hlghir educa tion In this state la In real Jeopardy, hoping they will not permit confin ed discrimination against education In comparison with other govern mental functions." Before presenting the detailed fi nancial studies to the board, Chan cellor Kerr reviewed the trenda In higher education and pointed out the keeping the service abreast of the changing needs of the people and of carrying on with every economy a dictated by general economic condi tions. These functions, he salu, he felt are being met In this state. Support Drained. The major institutions In particu lar and all In general have had their milium suDDort drained away In three major ways, the chancellor nolnted out. First the two major Institutions will have contributed out of their former normal millage ln- crtr.e, a total of sl.843,373.67 over the two blennlums to compensate for the former direct appropriations made bv the legislature for medical ohool. normals, extension and the nir. Inst throueh referendum. Secondly. 508,000 of the millage money Itself was diverted to other state purposes during the current bl ennlum. Finally the "millage pot" from which these moneys have been taken has dried up to the extent of 1.057.040 'oss through reduced tax valuations yield In 036-37. Reserves Used. continuing his figures, Chsncellor Kerr showed that operation on the restricted basis has been made possible only tl.: - Jgh the use of accumulated reserve!, which have now been all budgeted for tne cur rent fiscal year. Thus. If the operation of the In stitutions were contemplated on the same basis as lor last year, ivjj-m, there la a prospective deficit In pros- pectlve Income of 707.368 for the blennlum even with no sslary restor ations. If the half million diverted two years ago Is not restored by the legislature. With this restored, and still no salary restorations, the deficit la still 289.366. With salaries half restored, which many believe Is the absolute minimum for maintenance of stand ards, the prospective deficit even with the half million diversion re stored amounts to 1604.234. These and many other financial facts Dr. Kerr delivered to the board with the request that a definite decision on the position the board la to take be arrived at so Institutional hesds may complete their tentative bien nial budgets aa required by law. See Ijirger Enrollment. Minor bright spots reported by the chancellor Included the notification of continuance of federal work aid to needy students on a slightly en Isreed bssls over last spring. This and other facts Indicate an upturn in enrollment for next year of In definite proportions, thus Increasing the fee Income to that extent. Sum mer session enrollment Increased from 9 per cent at the Eastern Ore gon normal to S2 per cent at the state college, his report showed. The AAA haa come to the aid of the cooperative extension service to the extent of 117.710 additional to compensate for duties plied on the county agents and others, while the university has received definite grant of private foundation funds to match sums set aside tor municipal re search. CWA and SERA projects brought tiie Institutions 98.7O0 In the last year supplemented with only 18.000 in state board funds. These expen ditures made possible averting ser ious plnt depreciation, said Chan .'llor Kerr. (Ills Reported.
