Now under consideration by state legislators in Salem is a bill to establish a junior college in Portland by the fall of 1950. The measure is sponsored by Senators Richard L. Neuber ger, a former Emerald editor, and Robert D. Holmes. It would call for a $2,000,000 appropriation. There is much justification for the proposed college. Portland is the center of Oregon’s heaviest population con centration. By providing students in that area an opportunity to attend college near home, the state would make its educa tional facilities more economical to countless young men and women. A junior college in Portland would undoubtedly offer edu cational benefits to many students now unable to attend other state schools. However, contained in the bill as introduced is a provision that no more than $100,000 could be spent for building at any other state institution of higher education until the Portland college is completed. This would mean that such projects as our own proposed science building—a desperately needed addition—might suffer a serious set-back. Other state schools have similar needs which cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is our belief that state legislators must decide whether or not they can provide Oregon’s established state in stitutions with funds necessary to complete their present ex pansion plans and, at the same time, provide the necessary ap propriation for the Portland junior college. 1 If the Neuberger-Holmes bill would in any way cripple any school now under the state board of higher education, we be lieve the proposed junior college should wait until such time when this state has fulfilled its obligations to its present schools. With the Legislators BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Salem The legislature’s fish vs. power battle, billed as one of the big gest ever staged here, will get under way next Monday. The spark that touched off the dispute was the application Thursday for a $12,000,000 pri vate power dam on the Deschutes river. The argument will start Mon day when the State Fish Commis sion comes here to plan with leg islative fish committees on how to pass its bill to prohibit power dams on the Deschutes. People's utility districts are expected to join hands with the fish industry in blocking the dam. The Central Oregon PUD wants to build a power dam at almost the same site—and there’s only room enough for one dam. The legislative game commit tees also will meet Monday, and they probably will fight to block the dam, too. The Deschutes river is quite a sports fishing stream, too, and they claim there wouldn’t be any sports fishing left after a dam was built. But the private power interests have a lot of strength, especially because the Northwest needs power so badly. The House Taxation Committee held a public tax clinic Thursday night with members explaining Oregon’s taxation system. It was the first such meeting ever held here. The Senate Forestry committee approved a $125,000 appropriation bill to fight the budworm pest which threatens to ruin Oregon’s forests. The bill goes to the joint ways and means committee, and speedy legislative approval is ex pected so that the state forester can begin fighting the pest im mediately. Washington President Truman told a big crowd of his supporters last night that “the Democratic plat form w-as not a scrap of paper,” and asked their help in writing it into law. With the election won and the inauguration over, he said, it is necessary to implement the prin ciples which brought the Demo cratic victory. The occasion was a huge re ception by Democratic National Chairman J. Howard McGrath. The president earlier had attend ed a similar gathering at anoth er hotel, given by Secretary of the Treasury Snyder.

Mgr. -Raising Kane Sounds Like the Guy's Had Lots and Lots of Experience By Hank Kane American industry’s greatest contribution to the bachelor col lege student since the automobile is the Bendix automatic washing machine. It enables the washboard schol ar to spend money otherwise used for laundry on the more impor tant things of life like books, cof fee, and women, though not nec essarily in this order. The first time the undomestic student uses the Bendix there is likely to be a scene worthy of a one-reel Hollywood comedy. Trouble begins because the dime-laundry expert doesn’t read the directions. Instead of filling the machine three-fourths full he operates on the theory that another six pairs of six won't make any differ ence. His laundry may not have been too dirty at the start of Opera tion Coal Bucket but by the time he has shoved in the last item with his foot the glorified rags are overdue for laundering. Our Monday afternoon hero differs from the woman washer in that he selects a soap powder without listening to a day of ra dio soap opera. His unromantic attitude is that which soap powder is best is not determined by the housewife’s heroine who draws the most tears from the listener. The directions call for the soap to be put in the washer only after the water has stopped running. But our efficiency expert is a col lege student and therefore can’t read anything but plain English. In goes a cupfull of powder be fore starting the machine. Only then does he learn that the dime he thought he had went for a cof fee. The only way to get another dime is to break the $10 bill he was saving for Saturday night. And too well he knows he will need every cent of it because he is going with a coed. If cleanliness wins over the Saturday night Saturnalia, the coin is procured and the process begun. Last year the machine was op erated with a revolving knob which allowed the user to choose whether he wanted to wash wool or cotton. This year the gadget was re moved because it proved too com plicated for anyone except a housewife. The user’s discretion, now is limited to moving a lever to “Start.” Suds are poured into the ma chine until the water becomes soapy. The difficulty is that the soap is not as fast-acting as the hucksters claim. By the time the experimenter has stopped, there is enough soap for ten washes. The escape hatch of the whirl ing washer immediately spouts excess suds like an oil gusher or the Old Faithful geyser. The ensuing half hour is spent shoveling a three-inch layer of suds from the floor. The suds are only ankle deep because the over flow spreads to adjoining rooms. When the machine gasps to a halt at the end of a half hour the clothes which should be snow white and half tried are snow white with wet suds. Another- dime is inserted to rinse the excess suds. But due to the previous overload the ma chine stops with the chamber full of water. In desperation the self-appoint ed laundry expert wipes a sud from his eye, stands behind the machine, and open the flood (Please turn to page eight) Hey, Fellow!
