All is FORGIVEN" Few advertisements in your newspaper start that way. Yet most of them are just as personal, and al most as promising. Manufacturers and merchants must know your needs and wants, or go out of business. They must know, for instance, that about the first of next month you'll be very much interested in a new hat, or a new lamp, or new towels. They must foresee your wishes and have what you'll want when you want it. And they do constantly striving- to suit, at the lowest possible prices. Then telling you in advertis ing of the gifts they have brought from the far cor ners of the earth, to please Your Royal Highness. Read the advertisements in this paper. They are addressed to you personally. They bring you news of better things to have and easier ways to live. Inti mate news, of immediate interest. SAE HLffl NO! MALI A Frank, Open Statement to the Voters: Should the Normal School at La Grande be closed, it would be a major calamity, cutting off $200,000.00 annual income in Union county-that affects YOU. ITIhiai-Q: ILStHffle !Teflflw SBnBBt That was distributed in La Grande recently is typical of the means taken by that mys terious source and force which finances the Zorn Bill. It said the Eastern Oregon Nor mal was "Undernourished" and "a better type of students would come to a Junior Col lege" and the yellow sheet makes other statements of like viciousness. Read this state ' ment carefully and GET THE TRUTH. The yellow sheet and speakers at Union County meetings have said the Normal School ranks extremely low everywhere. That too is not true. Get the facts. It is accredited . by all Western universities including Stanford and Whitman, the highest rated schools in the West. It is accredited by the United States Office of Education, and all Normal , school associations except those which require a four-year course as is the case in a few states. ' ' Last Sunday the State Superintendent of Schools announced that 38 states accept the' Oregon Normal certificates without question, five or six have certain restrictions on all Normal Schools outside their states only one state in the Union fails to accept Oregon certificates. The school is now operated as a Junior College and a Normal with 48 in the former department and 186 in the Normal branch. It is growing in prestige and en- rollment and employs an unusually, fine faculty and administrative management. The chief reason a two year Normal school course is so popular in rural sections is that the student learns a profession at small costs and even though that student may never teach, he has obtained a very practical education without the necessity of four years spent in a teacher's college or university at a very heavy expense. Under the proposed plan there would be no rural teacher's certificates issued for less than 4 years study. Read the rest of this statement and see where the little yellow sheet, and all major ar- . . guments by the Zornites are spiked irrefutably. , - Faromm A Sttatte-wMe Vne w Pofiimtt Union and WallowcT County taxpayers are not asked to view the situation from a local, or what might be termed a selfish motive alone. Let's look into the question from a statewide viewpoint and, then what have you? More taxes, more expense! That and nothing more. Read the subjoined points that are advanced, and the answers thereto: About Abandoned Kuildings Should the University be hiovcd, sorority and fraternity houses at Eugene would bo abandon:!. (Tho proposed teachor training students would occupy abandoned doml torles). Their present value Is over one million dollars. Dormitory nnd tho many other new buildings at Eugcno wore built with money from bonds now held by the State Treasurer and Industrial Accident Commission as an Investment. These bonds would of course be defaulted. Who pays? Your taxes will, to the tunc of hundreds of thousands. Now for Student Cost Tho Zonx people tel 1 us it Is cheaper to operate a combined school than a separated school. It Is not. The average' cost throughout the United States for combined State college and uni versities, like Wisconsin, Is $442.30. Tho average In separated schools like Oregon and Washington is $395.84. In Oregon It Is now less than tho average $351.05. Tho average cost . for Investment In buildings per student with com bined Institutions Is $900.00 while In Oregon tho samo Item is $759.00. In the faco of these facts Is their statement truo? New Buildings Demanded Tho Zorn people say no further buildings are needed at Corvallls. Why did President Kerr ask tho last legislature, the one beforo ' that, and the one beforo that for nearly a million for new capital outlay naming five buildings ur gently needed at Corvalis? Did Mr. Kerr lie about it? No;,. He Is an honorable man who saw the needs and voiced his findings. Will you, Mi. Voter, figure out how you can c'rop the 3.000 students customarily attending the Uni versity Into Corvallls without more buildings and equipment? Will you explain how a new law school can be built at Salem as the bill provides without now buildings and equipment? We can't explain except to say that it Is going to take a lot of tax money. Floor Space The Zorn people show how much greater the floor spaoo Is at Corvallls than at Eugene. Sure tiling. .Most of the courses like agriculture, pharmacy, etc., need much greater floor space for a given number of students than recitation and lecture rooms In history, languages, etc., taught at the university. The Corvallls lib rary Is typical. With greater floor space indicated by comparisons, the truth Is that 408 students can be seated for study at. one time, while the university library han dles 000. The capacity of tho Corvallls library for books Is sev eral thousand volumes short of accommocHattng" (books to be brought over from Eugene. The library question would be a hope less mesa Immediately If the schools were consolidated' Another Cillinard Spiked: 52 of E.O.N. Freshmen this year came from the upper quarter of their respective high schools as regards to (Trades 37 came Jrom tho second quarter, 10 from the third, 19 from the 4th. "INFERIOR"? DO YOU THINK SO? Junior College Alone Hopeless One argument advanced for the consolidation is that it would remove the silly jeal ousies and rivalry between the University and the State College. Under the unification plan put into practice this year after three years of study by the Board of Higher Edu cation, President Kerr of the State College becomes chancellor of all schools duplica tion in courses have been almost entirely eliminated and the budget of the last biennium has been cut $800,000.00. That which was wrong with the former overlapping system has already been eliminated and the expenses very greatly reduced. Let us give the unifi cation plan a fair trial you will find practically every major fault of the old system has already been eliminated. Isn't that better than inviting a mad new-building spree that tumbles hundreds of thousands in new taxes on your overstrained pocketbooks.
