Delta Gamma Reunion
A hand-wrought copper bowl wa s
presented to the University by the Del-
ta Gamma sorority in memory of th e
late Amy Louise Dunn, for man y
years housemother of the Orego n
chapter and long active in campus af-
fairs .
The presentation was a part of th e
two-day celebration held on the cam -

the installation of the Oregon chapte r
of that group . More than 150 alumn i
and active members were present . Hon -

ing its first year .
Debate Plan Adopte d
The symposium method of debate a s
originated on the Oregon campus wa s
adopted at the Pacific collegiate foren-
sic conference held on the Universit y
of Nevada campus during April . Th e
symposium plan does away with th e
pro and con debate and divides th e
topic into several speeches with eac h
speaker covering all of the facts withi n
his assignment . The listener is then lef t
to make his own decision .
Professor W . A . Dahlberg of th e
speech department accompanied Ore-
gon debaters to the meeting in Ren o
and was elected vice-president of th e
conference .
Oregon debaters making ,the tri p
were Zane Kemler, Pendleton ; Kess-
ler Cannon, Toledo ; and Marshall Nel-
son, The Dalles .
Dr. Noble Returns
Dr . Harold Noble, on leave of ab-
sence for the past two years, will re -
turn from the Orient to assume his du -
ties as associate professor of Histor y
when school opens next fall . Dr . No-
ble's position has been filled by Dr . Ar -
thur J . Marder, who leaves the facult y
upon Dr . Noble 's return .

Additions to Museu
The University 's Natural Histor y
Museum continues to grow . Latest ad-
ditions include a huge mastodon, a
long-necked camel, a wild hoar an d
oreodon of Oregon 's prehistoric age .
The four beasts were sculptured fro m
Brownsville sandstone as part of a
WPA art project- information fo r
which was supplied by Dr . Warren D .
Smith, head of the department of ge-
ography and geology . The art projec t
also includes life-sized plaster casts o f
the Neanderthal man of 25,000 year s
ago and the later Cro-magnon man o f
15,000 years ago . Dr . L . S . Cressman ,
head of the department of anthropol-
ogy and director of the museum is i n
charge of this project .
Another interesting display is a pin e
lodge pole with marks on it as proo f
that the Oregon country was inhabite d
as early as the 14th century . Throug h
dendrochronology (the reading of tre e
rings) the pole has been dated as be-
tween 1331 and 1370 . Calculation s
were made by F . P . Keene, entomolo-
gist of the forest insects laboratorie s
of the bureau of entomology, depart-
ment of agriculture .
A thirteen-piece collection includin g
a tarpon, a blue-finned sailfish, an d
other unusual specimens have been len t

tionary war, was received by Presiden t
Donald M . Erb from Senator Andr e
Honnorat, president of the Cite Uni-
versitaire in Paris .
Inserted between the pages of th e
volume are facsimiles of George Wash -
ington's original letters, written o n
yellowed paper and stamped with th e
colonies' seal . Most of the letters ar e
dated from July to October, 1778.

Supplementary Funds Sought by Boar d
Supplementary funds totaling $595, -
000 will be required to operate wit h
reasonable efficiency the several insti-
tutions of the Oregon State System o f
Higher Education during the 1939 -
1940 biennium, Chancellor Frederic k
M . Hunter told members of the Leg-
islative Interim Commission on Stat e
and Local Revenues at a recent meet-
ing in Salem .
The need for these supplementar y
funds in addition to the regular millag e
and continuing appropriations for high-
er education is occasioned by the fol-
lowing situations :
1. Appropriations for the present bi-
ennium provided funds to restore sal-
aries for only 18 months of the curren t
biennium and, as a result, restoratio n
for staff members of higher educationa l
institutions was deferred to July I ,
1937, while salaries for other state di -
visions were restored on March I ,
1937. To provide restoration for th e
full 24 months of the next bienniu m
will require an additional sum o f
$195,000 .
2. For the replacement of obsolet e
instructional equipment and for repair s
to buildings which have been deferre d
for a period of seven years, since 1930 ,
a sum of $200,000 for the biennium i s
required .
3. To care for increased enrollment ,
which has mounted almost 60 per cen t
since the year 1933, a supplemental ap-
propriation of $200,000 is necessary .
The Chancellor pointed out that en-
rollment is now at the highest point i n
history . It is 10% higher than the prev-
ious peak, in the biennium 1929-30 ,
while state appropriations for highe r
education have decreased 15 per cen t
since the biennium 1929-1930 . If th e
needed supplementary funds, amount-
ing to $595,000, are made available fo r
the next biennium, total state appropri-
ations for higher education will still b e
less by $332,417, or 5 .5 per cent, tha n
the appropriations for the bienniu m
1929-1930.
The budget for the current fisca l
year, ending June 30, 1938, shows th e
following distribution of state funds b y
functions :
Per cen t
Instruction (including libraries) 58.
Service division 4.0
Administration   2 .7
Physical Plant   13.
Dormitory Bonds (University) .6
General Research   2.0
Agricultural Research   8.6
Federal Cooperative Extension 6.6
General Extension   3.4
It is to be noted that the major pro -
portion of the funds go into instruc-
tional costs (principally salaries) wit h
a maximum of direct benefits to the stu-
dents . Administrative costs, includin g
the expenses of the presiden t's offices of
the five institutions and the Chancel-
lor's and Boar d 's offices, amount to onl y
2 .7 per cent of the total budget . Sinc e
1930-31 the cost of administrative an d
service divisions has been reduced ap-
proximately $70,000 per year, or 25 pe r
cent. Additional savings through th e
elimination of unnecessary duplicatio n
have amounted to $55,000 per year . It i s
only through these economies that it ha s
been possible to maintain reasonably ef -
ficient standards of instruction in th e
face of constantly mounting enrollmen t
and the lagging of funds for operation .
Evidence of the need for additiona l
teaching staff is found in the fact tha t
the present teaching force is about equa l
to the staff employed when there wer e
8,000 students on the campuses of th e
several institutions, whereas at the pres -
ent time, there are approximately 10, -
000 . As a result, teaching loads are ex-
cessive in many departments and th e
shortage of funds makes it necessary t o
assign graduate assistants and teachin g
fellows to classes that should be taugh t
by experienced staff members .
In a report to the State Board o f
Higher Education, Dr . Hunter indicat-
ed that it would be unwise to attempt to
raise part of the needed funds by an in -
crease in student fees . Students in Ore-
gon schools are now paying a highe r
resident fee than is charged in an y
V1restern state institution . The averag e
for the Western state institutions i s
$54.16 per year, as compared with Ore-
gon 's fee of $85 .50. Dr . Hunter also em-
phasized the fact that 70 per cent of th e
students in the State System are wholl y
or partially self-supporting, and abou t
15 per cent of the entire student bod y
have received loans from the institution -
al loan funds . These facts indicate tha t
Oregon 's institutions are attended b y
students who are struggling against eco-
nomic difficulties to secure an educatio n
and any increase in fees would caus e
much hardship and, in many instances ,
abandonment of higher educationa l
training .
Colonel Murphy Retire s
Colonel E . V . D . Murphy, for fou r
years chief of the University ROT C
unit, has announced that he will retir e
at the end of this school year . Colone l
Murphy is 64 years of age and ha s
been active in army service for 4 0

1939 Barnstorming Tour
Coach Hobson attended the meeting s
of the national basketball coaches i n

arrangements for an Eastern barn -
storming tour for the Webfoots nex t
year . The Oregon team has receive d
an invitation to play in New York cit y's
Madison Square Garden next Decem-
ber, and in Convention hall in Phila-
delphia . Other games tentatively booke d
for the eastern trip are with ex-Web-
foot Coach Bill Reinhart's Georg e
Washington five in Washington, D . C. ;
either Wayne University or Detroi t
University in Detroit ; Bradley Tech ,
Peoria, Illinois ; Doc Spears ' Univer-
sity of Toledo team in Ohio ; Creighto n
at Omaha, and Stanford at San Fran-cisco
.
Bob Anet, dynamic guard on th e
Webfoot championship basketball team ,
was named honorary captain of th e
1938 team at a banquet given the trav-
eling squad by Coach and Mrs . How-
ard Hobson . Anet acted as floor captai n
in the recent season .
At the dinner an all opponent tea m
was chosen of Belko, Idaho, and Chase ,
W . S . C ., forwards ; Kosich, W . S . C .,
center ; and Al Hooper, W . S . C ., an d
Ziegenfuss, Washington, guards .
Varsity Basebal l
The Webfoot varsity baseball team ,
the northern division champions i n
1937, started this year 's pre-seaso n
schedule by winning seven out of eigh t
games .
The Oregon team will run up agains t
great difficulty in retaining its cham-
pionship this year, with Oregon Stat e
and Idaho looming as the' stronges t
threats .
Four newcomers to the 1938 tea m
were released from spring footbal l
practice, and consequently three hard -
hitting outfielders, Jimmy Nicholson ,
John Yerby, and Bob Smith, are work-
ing out on the diamond, and Cece Wal-
den, sturdy guard on the grid team ,
will try for the catcher's job .
The pitching staff of the team wa s
greatly weakened when Bill Marshall ,
letterman hurler, was declared inel-
igible under the three-year rule . Bo b
Creighton, John Linde, Paul Thune-
mann, LeRoy Mattingly, and Bob Har-
dy, have handled mound assignment s
during the pre-season games .
Most significant in these pre-seaso n
activities of Coach Howard Hobson 's
crew of diamond men were their thre e
victories (5-3, 9-5, and 6-0) over th e
Willamette University Bearcats . Mor e
difficult were the first wins taken fro m
the Portland Pilots, 5-4, and the Lin -
field Wildcats, 10-9 .
In the second games Oreagon .beat
Linfield 12-6 and dropped one 5-2 t o
the Pilots .
The single loss to Portland came i n
the second game of the season after th e
Ducks had won a ninth-inning home r
in the opener on Howe diamond th e
day before .
Bob Creighton, right-hand hurle r
who transferred from Marin Junio r
College, won the opening game i n
which the Webfoots defeated the Pilot s
5 to 4, when he allowed but one run i n
the last five innings in which he worke d
on the mound but also, in the last o f
the ninth, when he was the first ma n
up, he broke a 4 to 4 tie by poling ou t
a homer which won the game .
Rain hampered this game . A reces s
of 25 minutes was held after the thir d
inning .
On April 15 Oregon again defeate d
Willamette, 6 to 0, at Eugene . Bo b
Creighton on the mound only allowe d
two hits with his curve ball . Only fou r
Bearcats reached first and there wer e
no walks . In the first inning rang y
Quinn smacked a home run to drive i n
Mullen and Coleman .

ule is as follows :

Dear School Mates :
Just a little communication of a littl eevent which will prove to you the valu e
of an Oregon training, and the grea tadvantage of being a Webfoot .
On Sunday, Marsh 12 I was forced t otake a trip from Bakersfield to Sant a
Barbara. Since we had a little "Orego nMist" in California for a few weeks, mos t
of the roads were under water .I had to cross from San Fernando t
oVentura Boulevard via Sepulveda Boule-
vard. The road for a distance of abou tthree miles was completely under water ,
with only some railroad tracks stickin g
out near the highway as a guide . Severa lother persons with nie in the car becam e
scared and wanted to return back t oBakersfield, but inspired by the grea t
spirit of I-Guess-O and I-Guess-O No . 2,I boldly undertook to navigate the ca r
through this vastis gurees, and actuall ycrossed to terra firma, with the only fol-
lowing accident .When I was almost completely acros s
the water, a battleship` came alongside o fme, and ordered me to pull up to th e
curb and show my license . Since th emouths of several big cannons were point-
ing at me impressively, I meekly sub -nutted. I showed my dog license, wed -
ding license, medical license, driver's li-cense, but all to no avail . He slightly re-
lented when I showed him my fishin glicense, but even that was not sufficient ,
and he wanted to know who in Hade sauthorized me to drive a car without a
sea pilot's license . Not knowing what t odo to save my precious hide, I finall y
told him I was an Oregon graduate, a twhich remark, he turned alf smiles, shoo k
my hand and told me I was perfectl yqualified to drive along such roads . I n
fact he even offered me a job as a Navypilot, but I assured him that I have a
natural aversion for water for any pur-pose whatever, and his red nose showe
dthat I struck a sympathetic cord in hi s
heart and he let me go .
Upon arrival at Santa Barbara, wher ewe had a medical postgraduate confer-
ence, I met Kent R . Wilson, '23, bu tsince the conference was an exceptionall y
good one, I felt fully compensated eve nfor this .
And so, Hurrah for Old Oregon . Hur-
rah for the great Webfoot spirit whic hhelped me to find by instinct my way i n
the vast sheet of water, and glory be t othe great inspirator of Oregon, I-Guess- O
and his twin brother I-Guess-O No . 2.Yours for bigger and better webs o n
the feet, P. N. ROOT, M .D., '24.
P.S. At times I have been accused o f
slight poetical exaggeration but I ca nassure you :
1. We actually had here plenty of "Ore-gon Mist," an d
2. Our California roads, and the one I
traveled over on that day, actually neede dall the instinct of a Webfoot to dare t
otravel along them .
(Messrs . I-Guesso-O and I-Guesso- ONo. 2, readers will remember, were thos e
two elevens Ducks that lived in the brai nof Clair Johnson when he edited OLD
OREGON . The present editorial depart-ment could never corral enough quips an d
comebacks to set up any sort of I-Gues-so-O column .-Ed .)
