Speech Students Talk to Holmes A group of University speech student* recently went to Salem to interview Robert D. Holmes on the topic "how can industry be attracted to Oregon?" Scott Nobles, faculty director of forensics, accompanied the following people on the trip: Donna DeVries, graduate assist ant, Tom Beagle, George Britt ingliani, A1 Winters, Leland Smith, Jennifer Bain, and Vernon Thompson. Governor Holmes spoke of a department in operation for less than a year in the state legisla ture, called the Oregon Planning and Development Department, organized to help Oregon's in dustry. Projected Steps The Governor also mentioned four projected stops the State is planning in order to further in dustry. These include developing more cheap federal power to en courage such industries as alumi num and electronics, planning a largo advertising campaign, and attempting to get lower East West freight rates to reduce in dustry costs and to further de velop the tourist potential of Oregon. Keith Skelton, former Dane County representative to the State Legislature, spoke to the group last Tuesday evening on the same topic. Skelton emphasized that the people of Oregon were going to have to do a better job of selling their state and showing the rest of the nation that they really want industry in Oregon.

THEIR FUTURE AND YOURS DEPEND ON OUR COLLEGES As Americans, all of us are proud of our na tional growth. But it is a sobering thought that the number of young men and women who want and deserve a college education will double by 1967. Right now our colleges and universities are making a valiant effort to take care of the hosts of eager-eyed young people who are already clamoring for admittance. They have an enormous job to do, for the necessary ex pansion is far more than a matter of adding classrooms, laboratories and dormitory space. There must be a corresponding increase in faculty and in faculty caliber. The profession of college teaching must attract more first rate men and women or it will be in danger of turning out second-rate graduates. This problem of the capacity of our colleges to meet the challenge that is now upon us is vital not only to students and their parents but to business—to industry—and to you. It is easy to point to current shortages of engineers and scientists. Less obvious but just as pressing is the need for civic leaders—for teachers —for business administrators —for home-makers. Above all there is a need for people who have learned to think soundly and choose wisely. They are and will continue to be the backbone of our strength as a nation. Freedom needs educated people. In this country, those who lead are those who know. Help the colleges or universities of your choice —now!
