Education Board Against Portland Junior College PORTLAND, Jan. 25 (AP)—Es tablishment of a junior college in Portland is opposed by the state board of higher education until ex isting institutions’ money needs are met. The junior college is proposed in a bill now before the state legisla ture, introduced by Sen. Richard Neuberger, Portland. The state board, in a formal Dean Johnson Back from Meet Dr. Eldon L. Johnsbn, dean of the college of liberal arts, returned last week from New York, where he ad dressed the Oregon alumni and at tended meetings of the American Conference of Academic Deans and the Association of American Col leges. Due to transportation delays and bad weather, Dr. Johnson arrived in New York too late to serve on the nominating committee of the con ference of deans. While at the con ference he was appointed to the in vestigating committee which will survey the need for more graduates of professional schools. National executive To Visit Local YW Mrs. Leila Anderson, national ex ecutive of the YWCA, will be on the campus February 2 and 24, an nounced Laura Olson, president of the Y, at the regular cabinet meet ing Tuesday.

Although the statement pointed cut that it is the legislature’s func tion to create and the board’s duty to administer educational institu tions, the board believes existing in stitutions should be improved be fore additional institutions are cre ated. “A new institution in Multno mah county for 2,000 students would require a capital outlay of at least $4,000,000 and an annual operating budget of approximate ly $800,000” the statement said. It pointed out that the board has asked the legislature for $24,500, 000 for buildings “necessary to care for the greatly increased stu dent bodies now enrolled at exist ing institutions. Of this total re quest for buildings, $12,000,000 is considered an emergency matter . . . the board cannot express too strongly its opinion that these re quirements should be met before additional institutions are creat ed. me ouaru is nuw upeiamig me Vanport extension center as an emergency institution in the Port land area. It plans to continue this institution for at least another year. “The board has also operated for years, an extensive collegiate night class and adult education program in Portland through its general ex tension division. This unit is now housed in rented facilities which are entirely inadequate. The board believes that by pur chasing an existing building in Portland which could house the daytime collegiate program now offered in the Vanport extension center and the night classes now offered by the general extension division, the requirements of the Portland area for collegiate in struction for several years could be met. Such a program through the existing general extension di vision would be much more eco nomical than creating a new in stitution.’’ Superintendent Paul A. Rehmus of the Portland schools later said the district might consider selling Lincoln high'school to the state. Rehmus said, however, that the price should be around $1,000,000 in stead of $750,000 as suggested by the state board. Rehmus said the school district would not want to sell unless it got enough money to replace the school. MliteSi? CALL 600 FOR PROMPT.

The largest number of openings wfll be in the fountain and cafete ria. The game area in the basement may be open from 10 to 12 hours daily.

There will be additional opportuni ties for sti#3ents to serve as pin boys and assistants to the persons in charge. Positions for part-time secretar ies and bookkeepers to work with the administration will be open, and student help will be required in con nection with large functions such as dances.

Solution: High-strength wire whose use allows the span between poles to be in creased from 150 feet to more than 300. One pole now does the work of two. The problem, of course, is a continuing one for telephone people. High-strength wire with required electrical qualities is only one { of many things they have developed to help solve the problem in these days of high con struction costs.
