Talent Exchange
After Assembly
By Laura Sturges
The OSC exchange assembly
was considered a success by Ore
gon students interviewed after the
Tuesday talent show.
Although half of the students
polled hadn’t attended the assem
bly, they all expressed the opinion
that the idea of exchange assem
blies was good and had wanted to
attend.
The master of ceremonies in the
OSC show was rated high by the
Oregon audience.
One patriotic Oregon student
praised the talent in the OSC
show, but thought Oregon could
do better.
Betty Obrlst—sophomore in lib
eral arts -“I'm sorry but I didn't
see it. I would have liked to see it.
I think the assemblies are a fine
idea.”
Kod Inman—freshman in pre
law—“Very fine. The trumpet
player was very fine. He’s from
Klamath Kalis; I went to school
with him.”
Keed King—freshman in busi
ness—“I didn't go because I was
in the ROTC drill team. I think
a majority of freshmen went,
though. The exchange assemblies
are a good idea; I went to the oth
er one from Willamette.”
Carol Brf^ren—sophomore in
liberal ai ts- "I thinght it was very
very good for OSC. I thought the
master ‘of ceremonies was "tops.”
I think Oregon can do better."
Joy Triemnn- junior in biology
—“I didn’t go. I had a lab class.
I think the assemblies make for
good friendship between the
schools.”
Bill Frye—junior in journalism—
"Aside from the fine display of
campus talent, I think the ex
change assembly idea goes a long
way toward promoting better
school relations.”
Jim Coleman—senior in art —
“I wasn't there. I think, though,
it is a good idea to continue the
exchange assemblies."
Jane Wiggen—junior in educa
tion—“I thought their m.c. was
excellent, but I thought the rest
was sort of corny. I guess you can
expect that from Oregon State.”
Fred Sausville—senior in archi
tecture—“I wasn't there.”
Bud Barker—junior in business
“I thought it was very good. They
should have more of them — get
better attendance. I thought the
master of ceremonies was very
good.”
Michigan's shore line, touching
Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron,
and Erie, is the longest of any
state—2,302 miles.
Vanport, Extension Center Merged;
No Decrees or Official Name Yet
By Valera Vierra
The old Lincoln high school
building In Portland will soon be
the home of combined Vanport
college and the Portland Extension
Center to be re-named the Port
land State Extension Center. The
teaching staffs of Vanport and the
old extension center have been
merged into one staff by stute
board action.
The school will offer two yeais
of lower division work by day,
and upper division work through
the graduate level by night. The
day and night classes will be ad
ministered separately, < hancellor
Charles D. Byrne, of the State
Board of Higher Education said,
because offering of two years of
day-time class work was specially
authorized by the legislature.
No Degrees or Name—Vet
Despite its four-year character,
the new Portland system wdl offer
no degrees. Students may qualify
for a bachelor's degree by taking
work through extension, then
transferring <o a campus to meet
residence requirements.
The naming of the institution
was not intended to lessen the
status of Vanport us a two-year
college, heads of the state educa
tion system said.
The name Vanport was wiped
out, but the way was left clear
for the school to become known
in the future as Portlund Stute
college, the name chosen last year
by Vanport students, a spokesman
said.
Not a ‘Colege’
The institution cannot be offi
cially termed a “college” since
only the legislature, with ratifica
tion by the people, has authority
to create another state Institution
of higher leurning.
It was indicated that Vanport
students were organizing to pre
sent their case, for a four-year
Portland Institution, to the next
legislature.
The old Vanport college had
been in operation since 1946. After
the community was destroyed by
a flood in 1948, the college was
moved to a former shipyard site
in Portland. The extension center
programs have operated in sev
eral high schools in the Portland
area.
Old Question Kalsec!
The combining of the two insti
tutions provoked the old question
of a four-year college for Portland
at the annual convention of the
Oregon Education association held
during the third week of March.
The question of a state-support
ed college for Portland was the
topic of a panel discussion at a
session of the OKA. The top edu
cators in the state were sharply
divided on the question, although
most of them were against it.
The Rev. Richard Steiner, pas
tor of the Unitarian church in
I’ortlanil, was opposed 10 csiaousn
ment of a full four-year state-sup
ported college there. He said,
"There are too many mediocre col- .
leges now. There is not a single
college In this stuto, and that In
cludes ftced college, that is doing
an adequate Job of training tho
intellectually elite." •
Asked to elaborate on his state
ment, Reverend Steiner said ho •
opposed "pushing more and moro
students into college when no more
than 5 per cent are intellectually
capable of attending college."
KniplinHl* on Adults
Mrs. William Kletzer, repre
senting the American Cancer so
ciety. on the panel, said she was *
speaking only as a citizen, but
added that emphasis should be on
training adults rather than moro *
Instruction for undergraduates.
George Ebey, assistant superin
tendent of schools in Portland,
pointed out that more than one *
third of the state’s population lives
within 30 miles of Portland.
Walter Geirsbach, president of
Pacific University, a private col
lege in Forest Grove, said the ad
dition of another state school
would "just increase the trend to
statism.”
Portland elements in the state
legislature have buttled through
several sessions to establish a stale
school where Portland students
can get low cost education and
still live at home. To establish a
new stute Institution it would bo
necessary to refer the matter to
the people of the state. To offer ,
four years of extension work at
the Portland State extension cen
ter would require an act of legis
lature.
