The Community College Budget
The vote on the budget for the
new East Side Community College
district is due soon (July 12. to be
exact) and the total budget $94.N"0
seems reasonable enough
However, we have heard some
grumbling about the amount budgeted
for a college president This, the board
has |H
*gged
a< 120.000.
This seems like a pretty substan
tial figure for a school which can’t
possibly have more than a relative
handful of students during the first
year.
However, the board is looking be
yond the immediate present. The po
tential here is such they feel, that
a man of caliber is needed right from
the start.
Moreover, a board member ex
plains. it is doubtful if the full $20.-
000 figure would be used unless a
most exceptional candidate were
available The prospectus which the
board is sending out lists a salary
range of between $16,000 and $20,000.
enough to attract a top-flight man
On the other hand, we are. by com
parison doing pretty well by our pres
ident-to-be Not long ago, we saw
a study which listed the salary among
present Oregon community college
presidents as ranging from $14,000
to $19,000.
If we go to $20,000, we’ll be head
ing the list
However, in an era when a success
ful coach is paid as much as about
21- Ph. D s. a competent academi
cian should command a good wage
too The president chosen here can
mean everything as far as the ulti
mate success of the school is con

Long, Hot Summer
With the summer months our
thought are turned to the outdoors
and Its magnitude of pleasures. We
thought the following statement by
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, relating
to the long, hot summer of crime
worth repeating
It follows:
We can xpect the coming weeks
to present a stiff challenge to law
enforcement. Predictions are preva
lent throughout the country tor a
"long, hot summer” because of an
ticipated Increases of disturbances
and violent crimes
We would hope the prognosticators
of these ominous conditions are
wrong; we would hope that a rec
ord-breaking summer of strife and
lawlessness can be averted. But in ad-
tlltivu to the annual seasonal increase
of summertime ciilhe—crimes of pas
sion and violence—we can also ex
pect difficulties and violations con
nected with protest marches and dem
onstrations occurring across the Na
tion.
Law enforcement officials know
from experience that carelessness by
the individual citizen Is one factor in
crime causation, especially during the
summer. The relaxed atmosphere and
carefree living are conducive to en
joyment and pleasure, but they also
provide the criminal more opportun
ities to strike.
Each summer, countless Americans
unwittingly conduct "open houses”
for thieves. They depart for vacation
sites without providing proper protec
tion of their homes, while away. On
return, they are aghast to find their
dwellings ransacked and valuable
property stolen. A few simple pre
cautionary- measures to secure the
premises and leave them with an "oc
cupied” appearance often discourage
and prevent burglaries
Crimes against property, however,
are only a minor part of the problem
Far more appalling are the vicious
attacks on defenseless children by
sexual deviates and the murders,
rapes, and aggravated assaults which
register sharp rises during the sum
mer The intensity and frequency of
these violations haunt every com
munity. Law enforcement Is still
searching for effective preventive ac
tion against them, and certainly, neg
ligence and public indifference do
not lessen the burden.
Summer is also the season of the
hitchhiker and wanderer. *The motor
ist who stops and opens his car door
to a stranger may be asking for a
death ride for himself and his fam
ily. Many times, the Innocent-looking
young man on the roadside is a trig
ger-happy or knife-wielding killer.
For safety’s sake, drivers should ex
ercise that part of valor considered
best—discretion—and pass up hitch
hikers.
Just how “long and hot” the sum
mer will be depends on how well law-
enforcement and the public combine
efforts to contain seasonal outbreaks
Let us hope that jointly we can make
it so ’ cot” for all lawbreakers that
the summer will be one they will
“long” remember.

To the Editor:
It seems to me that anyone
could find better use of his
spare hours than to write a
rebuttle to a complaint in which
the facts in the case have been
stretched to the point of almost
being totally untrue.
As to the remark of the edi
tor about over emphasising win
ning. If and when you take the
competitiveness out of baseball
it will not be much of a game
to play in or to watch.

To Editor:
The letter wMch appeared
In last week’s paper, won a
lot of sympathy from the pub
lic. Due to the fact that it
was one sided and non«- of th«
facts made know, I wish to
expos«- some of the facts in
this letter.
A Boy has to learn to play
ball himself. His parents or
his coach cannot do this for
him. They can help by work
ing with him and explaining
and tallng him the rules and
facts of the game. But when
a boy is on the field to play,
he is on Ms own. To be able
to handle yourself on a base
ball diamond takes time and
practice. It is very danagious
to put a boy into play that can’t
handle himself. TMs Is one
reason a good coach is very
hesitant about playing a boy
that can’t handle Mmself fairly
well. But the coach is blamed
cause little Jr. didn’t get to
play today. And If he had of
played and got hurt the coach
is blamed cause he knew Jr.
wasn’t ready to play.
With the large number of
boys that play ball there is a
very small amount of Dads
that come out to help. But It
ta always the ones that don’t
do anything that feel they can
sit back and find fault In the
way the hoys are coached. No
one can point at them and their
faults, true, cause they don’t I
do anything hut grip!
Oh I forget their evening
meals are Interrupted to get
the boy to the practice and
games. It matters not that the
coach go to many a game from
his x>b. Without any dinner, Ms
wife brings most of the boys
to the game. Who is responlbleA.
tor getting the boys to the
game. Who toys the gas? Wb
takes the grips from the “Par
ents” and the other teams. The
coachl Si' if he Is reaponlble
for a team, don’t you think he
should make the decusston tn
the game such as, when to
change players. You say every
toy should play in every game.
In that case the spirit of the
team is lost when the game
Is close and the coach puts tn
a boy he knows can’t catch or
bat the ball. I'd hate to be the
toy put tn a spot like this. Hoys
tongues can be pretty cruel.
»ive HRs a sport, tap whee
you take the spirit out of the
game you are defeated. Even
the purpose of plavlng is gone.
The toys will feel — Why put
out anything we'll lose anyway.
By the way If you don’t like
the way the Boys Bast- Ball
