The program is being studied by
a committee of the Roseburg
Chambc. of Commerce, headed by
Wayne Crooch. Other members of
the committee are the Rev. James
Jenkins, Gordon ' Todd, Norma
Cummings and Kate McCarthy.
Crooch explains that it is one of
three possibilities the county has
under state law for establishment
of college training facilities.
One of these is the junior col
lege, which has separate buildings
and staff. The second is the com
munity college which uses existing
facilities but operates .independent
ly otherwise, ,
With the lower division collegi
ate program, present facilities can
be used, and jurisdiction will be
long to the Roseburg School Dis
trict. The teachers would be fur
nished by the General Extension
Division of the state.
If a need is found evident from
surveys now being taken (see story
page 1), efforts will be made to
establish a program in Roseburg
to start in September, .i
With the program, 'emphasis
would be on basic subjects, such
as English, mathematics, science,
geography, the humanities, etc. All
would be college credit courses.
Hospital Drive Said Prompted
By Need For Surgery Facilities
Mrs. Harry VanDcrmark of Win
ston, representing the Mercy Hos
pital fund-raising drive, told Rotar
ians Thursday that the effort to
raise money for a new hospital ad
dition has been prompted by "des
perate need."
She said the desperate need was
for more operating rooms, physi
cal therapy facilities and nursing
home facilities.
She pointed out that since the
blast only two operating rooms are
available in the Roseburg area.
This means, she said, that surgery
sometimes has to be held up for
weeks.
Physical therapy facilities are al
most non-existent even though the
need is great in an area of heavy
industrial activity where accidents
are frequent.
Finally, she claimed that the
Roseburg area now has only 38 per
cent of the needed facilities for
care of elderly people.
She said the addition would meet
these needs by including them in
the addition. It will have surgeries,
three therapy rooms and room for
24 nursing beds for the elderly.
She said support for the drive
should be given now because the

Crooch said under the program
a student could take his first two
years of college .raining in Rose
burg at a 'ar lesser cost than
at one of the colleges or univers
ities. He said the courses would be ac
ceptable for credit at any insti
tution of higher learning in the
state.
Night Ceursas Planned
The courses would be conducted
on a nighuime basis, with students
allowed to take as many as 12
credit hours a term.
The costs, Crooch, reported
would be about $11 a credit hour.
For those taking more than seven
hours for eredit, a flat fee of $90
would be charged. Thus a student
taking I? hours for three terms
with the added cost of books and
equipment, could finish a full year
of college work for about $400.
Costs run as high as $2,J00 at regu
lar colleges.
The program will be conducted
at Roseburg High School if the
need is found evident and if the
Roseburg School Board approves.
Similar programs are now in op
eration at Coos Bay, Astoria, Beav
erlon and elsewhere in the jtatc.
need is now. For every dollar in
vested, she said, $6 in hospital fa
cilities will accrue to the commun
ity. The drive is designed to raise
$250,000, which will be matched by
grant money. The remainder of thu
$830,000 necessary for the four
story addition will be borrowed by
the Sisters of Mercy, who operate
the hospital.
Meanwhile, Paul Bellendorf, as
sistant administrator of the hospi
tal, reported that 1960 financial fig
ures showed the investment is re
ciprocal financially lo the community-He
said: "The total amount ex
pended by the hospital in I960 was
$452,353.92. Of this sum, $177,409.95
was for salaries to our 100 em
ployes." He concluded that another con
tribution to the community was
$12,217.61 in the care of charity
