Top Education System Able
To Meet Enrollment Mow
Committee
Sees Available
Snace Wasted
SALEM (AP) The Legislative
Fiscal Committee said Friday the
state system of higher education
could handle double its present
enrollment in existing buildings by
making better use of classroom
and laboratory space.
The committee said that class
rooms in the state university and
colleges are used only half the
time, and that laboratories are
used only a third of the time.
These figures are based on the
44-hour week that is now in op
eration. Dr. John R. Richards, chancel
lor of higher education, commend
ed the committee on a "very com
petent report. It shows definitely
that we can make more intensive
use of space."
Dr. Richards agreed that uni
versities and colleges over the
country have "very careless meth
ods of using their space, but the
fact that the others do it is no
excuse for us.
"We intend to improve, and that
includes holding classes on Satur
days." Future Need $100 Million
The state board of higher edu
cation has estimated it will need
100 million dollars for new build
ings in the next 10 years, when
it estimates enrollment will in
crease from 21,000 to 39,000.
But the committee said that
with full classroom use, this could
be handled without any new class
room or laboratory buildings.
It called on the state board to
"reevaluate traditional concepts
relating to class scheduling.
The committee said classroom
use in the state system is at about
the national average, but far be
low that of the state systems in
Michigan and California.
The committee said more classes
could be scheduled for afternoons,
during the noon hour, on Tuesdays
and Thursday, and on Saturday
mornings.
It said that proper use of space
is blocked by the board's policy
nf building new classroom build
ings before they actually are
needed. -
The committee also suggested a
study of whether the college year
might be extended to 12 months,
thus making it possible to com
plete the Jourycar course in three
years. .

channels this week.
The rash of good news lifted
the outlook for the balance of the
year.
The stock market responded
with its biggest weekly gain of
the year. Such basic issues as
steels, motors and chemicals led
the march.
Steel industry prospects got a
boost when Chairman Roger
Blough of U.S. Steel Corp. pre
dicted the operating rate would
pick up substantially in August.
Steel pioduction rose this week
to 62.3 per cent of capacity from
last week's holiday-curtailed out

Big Month For Autos
The automobile industry report
ed sale of 506,650 new American
made cars in May. the best for
the month since record 1955. Tiie

May 1959.
This brought sales for the year
to 2,660,000 cars, up 12.9 per cent
from the 1959 period.
Output jumped to an estimated
143,000 cars this week, a gain of
12.5 per cent over a year ago.
Chevrolet Division of General
Motors built its millionth car of
the year Thursday, the earliest
any maker has ever hit that
mark.

SERIOUS PLAY Members of the Roseburg and Roseburg Rural Fire Deportments are
having a good old fashioned water ball "fight on NE Commercial Ave. and it seems to an
onlooker as though it's just a lot of fun. In reality, the two drill teams are practicing for
state-wide competition June 19 at Seaside, at which the top team in the state will carry
home a trophy signifying their ability. The drills are to help firemen practice skills they'll
need in combating fires. This drill is aimed at helping improve their ability to get a
stream of water on a target fast. The object of the game is to drive a ball tied on a wire
to the other team's goal. In this picture the city department has the rural on the run and
scores a goal in -47 seconds. The rural team is comprised of Copt. Joe Hites, Norm

Guided Missile Takes
'Miss' Out Of Missile
WASHINGTON (AP) The
Army today reported the inter
ception and destruction of a Cor
poral missile by an improved
version of the Nike Hercules.
The announcement described
the event as the first known kill
of a guided ballistic missile by
another guided missile.
The designation of the weapons
distinguishes the new action from
that of Feb. u in which a Hawk
missile destroyed an Honest John
short-range bombardment rocket.
The Hawk is led by a homing
device attracted presumably bv
the heat from its target, and the
Honest John, with a range of
only about 12 miles, is pure bal
listic. The new interception was re
ported to have taken place over
White Sands Missile Range, N.M.,
during engineering demonstra
tions on the improved version nf
the Hercules. No date was given
in the first report.
The Hercules is an operational,
solid-fuel missile, guided by com
mand. It ahs a range of more
than 75 miles with a ceiling above
150.000 feet, and can carry a
nuclear warhead.
The Corporal, described in the
announcement as the free world's
first operational ballistic missile,
has a range of about 75 miles.
Its guidance system is described
as "preset and command."
The first word came out in the
caption for a series of photo
graphs released by the Pentagon.
They showed a Hercules just alt
er a launch, a Corporal at higher
altitude, and a sequence of ex
posures made as the missiles
closed at thousands of miles an
hour and were destroyed in a
mighty blast.

Parents Take Charge
MINEOLA, N. Y. (AP)-A night
club is no place for a senior prom,
say a group of Mineola fathers,
and they've put up $4,000 to prove
it.
The Fathers Club of Mineola
High School raised the money and
engaged two dance bands, a vo
calist, and four night club acts
for a "happy and wholesome"
prom tonight. The dads rented a
nearby ballroom and converted a
bar to provide the teen-age rev
elers with nonalcoholic punch.
Their idea is to keep the teen
agers from driving to New York
City night clubs, which are "un
desirable at their age level," the
fathers said.

Verdict In Fire Case
A New York insurance firm has
won a directed verdict in Circuit
Court against a Riddle couple who
were suing the firm for $2,000 for
loss of a trailer which burned last
year.
The couple, Homer and Ethel
Perry, had filed suit, claiming that
the Empire State Insurance Co. re
fused to pay the value of a house
trailer which was completely des
troyed. The firm contended that the Per
rys had violated the insurance
terms by moving the trailer from
its specified location without agree
ment by the company. This con
tention was upheld in the directed
verdict filed Friday after trial
Thursday.
