TEW MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. Jfor. St, 1144
BUILDING PLAN IS
TOLD BY DR. WELLS
The state board of higher edu
cation's proposed ten-year build
ing plan to meet the postwar
growth of Oregon's university
and colleges was outlined be
fore the Medford Rotary club
Tuesday by Dr. Earl Wells,
member of the faculty of Ore
gon State college. Speaking at a
luncheon meeting at the Hotel
Medford, Dr. Wells emphasized
the urgent need to adequate
facilities to accommodate in
naiH enrollment and also the
many service men and women
who will seen a couege tou
tion through the GI bill of rights
and other federal and state edu
cational assistance programs.
Public understanding and ap
proval of the board of educa
tion's proposed plan for a sound,
business-like retirement pro
gram in the higher educational
institutions of the state was also
urged by the speaker. Dr. Wells
was Introduced by Kenneth Den
man, local attorney.
Surveys Cited
Certain expansion of future
enrollment In Oregon's college
was based upon army surveys
of service men and women
which indicate a desire on the
part of 35 per cent for continued
schooling after the war. If only
10 per cent of this state's present
facilities for higher education
will be sorely taxed, the speaker
pointed out. Population growth
and Industrial expansion in the
state will further overcrowded
existing educational plants.
Contrasting the prewar 1939
enrollment of 11,509 students In
Oregon colleges with the antic
ipated normal Increase to 21,000
in 1960, Dr. Wells stressed the
need for far-sighted, long-range
planning at this time. This nor
mal advance in enrollment was
based upon figures secured from
other states and UDon nomila-
tion growth.

approach to the building prob
lem of higher educational insti
tutions on the part of the state
board of higher education was
lauded by Dr. Wells. The board
has sought to solve the problem
with "absolute need" in mind.
The ten-year plan will Involve
an expenditure of approximate
ly $5,000,000, of which the first
biennial appropriation will be
$2,237,000, Not included in this
sum will be the erection, of
buildings of self-financing na
ture totaling $2,518,000.
It was emphasized that this
plan is based not upon an almost
certain postwar spurt in college
enrollment, but instead upon
normal growth. Original esti
mates supplied by the institu
tions themselves were reduced
40 per cent.
State contributions to the
building program of higher edu
cational institutions have shown
a steady decrease since xuiu,
Dr. Wells told Rotarlans. At this
time only 9 per cent of build
ing expenditures are provided
from state funds while gifts, fed
eral grants and student fees
have carried the major portion.
More than $3,000,000 has come
from these sources other than
state funds within the past 10
years.
The need for Immediate'
change in the present anti
quated retirement plan In Ore
gon's university and colleges
was further- stressed by Dr.
Wells. Lgislation will . be pro
nosed which' will provide a
sound plan, of retirement pay
and death benefits for instruct
ors In which .they will be joint
contributors with the state.
It will authorize the board of
higher education to determine
the amount of these payments,
the eligibility of participating
instructors and to enter into con
tracts with annuity and casualty
companies. Such program,
heretofore, has been held up ny
absence of a legislative enabling
act.
