No Funds for New Buildings. About 100 faculty members and former students of the University of Oregon took luncheon together at Lincoln bigh school in Portland at noon yesterday.

The principal speaker was P. L. Campbell, president of the University, who explained the financial dilemma in which the University is placed through the unexpected falling off in the state assessment and the unexpected large growth of the University enrollment. Maintenance Problem Serious. President Campbell said in part: "The receipts from the millage tax for the University, during $50,000 the less years than 1915 the and estimates made at the time the millage tax bill went into effect.

The amount received during the next two years, 1917 and 1918, will be at least another 000 short of the estimates, making a loss of not less than $100,000 in the receipts for the last four yenrs. Maitnenance Problem Serious. "During the same period our enrollment at the Universty will have incrensed not less than 60 per cent. The decrease in income in face of the increase in attendance makes the problem of maintenance alone at the University a very serious one unless relief is obtained from the legislature, New buildings will be absolutely out of the question, although the pressure in the present buildings is again growing great. Hope Not Realized.

"It was the expectation of the legislature, at the time-the millage bill was passed, that the increase in the state valration of property would keep pace with the growth of the state educational institutions, and that the increase from the millage would provide a fund for buildings well as for maintenance. tax, Out of the income of the first two years one building costing $50,000 was erected by the regents in spite of the decrease in the receipts. But the problem for the next two years will be to meet just maintenance charges, without taking either buildings or departmental equipment into consideration. "Unless the legislature makes provision to meet this changed situation, the University's work will be greatly handicapped." FOOTBALL RETURNS AT EUGENE THEATRE Manager Alexander in announcing the returns of the big football game New Year's day will spare 110 expense to make this as near as can be without seeing the players.
