College to Keep
Extension Status
Portland State college will re*

as a result of a vote in the State
House of Representatives.
The House voted 36 to 21 against
the measure to make the college
a foull four-year school. The action
was taken the first part of last
week.
Those favoring the bill argued
that a four-year school located
: in the population center of the
! state would allow more people to
receive an education who can not
afford to attend school in Eugene
I or Corvallis.
Representatives against the bill
j said they wanted the measure on
| the 1956 ballot only if a need were
| demonstrated for the school.
Alumni of Oregon and Oregon
State college also opposed the biir,
as did the University faculty,
which passed a a resultion against
such a measure.
