Sandy. Oregon 97055 No. 41 Thur». Sept. 4. ,975 A lt Hood Enrollment Soaring In his valedictory as chairman of the State Board of Higher Education, John Mosser urged that no new buildings be built, that the present surge in enrollment is only tem porary. Mosser may be right but make no mistake, the surge is here. Summer-session enrollment at Mt. Hood Community College was up 26 per cent. Guessing what this w ill mean for fall quarter is strictly conjecture. But it could mean an increase of some 800 or 900 students ETE (full-time equivalent.) This would boost Mt. Hood from last year’s 6,000 to nearly 7,000. Clackamas Community College had an even more spectacular summer session increase . . . 50 per cent. The increased number of students probably is due to the recession. If young people can’t find jobs, they’ll go to school in the hopes that things might soon get better. In addition, some people who have lost their jobs are going to school for retraining. Community colleges, of course, are still the fastest-growing and most- dynamic segment of U.S. education. Community colleges have done a much better job than the four-year schools in adapting to changing needs. Much of the increase in enrollment w ill be at the community college level where the State Board ( Mosser and Co.) is not involved. M t. Hood’s campus is nearing completion and, apparently, right on schedule for the ever-increasing number of students who find a two- year education w ill fill their needs. ’The Good Thing About The National Debt Is That, By Comparison, It Makes Ours Insignificant.” VFW to meet Peace in the Middle East The agreement reached between Egyptian and Israelis can only be counted a tremendous personal triumph for Sec. of State Henry Kissinger. There may be some parts to the agreement which are not too palatable (like U.S. technicians in a warning zone, or the $2.5 million U.S. taxpayers w ill provide in aid to Israel) but Kissinger has done the impossible. He has brought the two factions to the bargaining table, persuaded each to give up something, and has at least obtained an interim agreement. This in the face of predictions that the whole Middle East would blow up in J u ly ,1975. That it didn’t was due to Kissinger’s dogged, patient diplomacy, and in face of much carping criticism at home. He deserves every credit. In connection with the new un derstanding comes an interesting story: That the quid pro quo for the recent Helsinki agreement acknowledging Russian hegemony over much of Europe, was a free hand for Kissinger in the Middle East. In other words, we traded our signature on the Helsinki agreements for a Russian promise to keep out of the way in the Middle East. The Russians seem to have kept their part of the bargain. .Whether, having obtained the Helsinki accords, the Russians now w ill continue to lay low in the Middle East, remains to be seen. But at the very least, Sec. K issinger’s diplom acy has defused a very dangerous situation for the moment. He has bought all of us some badly needed time. To the Editor: N ext Sept. 16, 12 days hence, we vote for the third time on our budget. We a re hopeful that our patrons will, in view of our excellent program, express their approval at the polls The tax rate, which will be less than $4 per thousand dollars of assessed value, for K- 8 represents the lowest rate to be found in the state It is true that our students enjoy many advantages not to be found everywhere and for this we a re g ra te fu l. F o r example, we have a favorable classroom load averaging 20 per class. We provide one of the best equipped instructional material centers to enrich and heighten learnin g in the classroom. We have a full time remedial program which is partially supported by federal funds from a program we have written and had approved. Our music emphasis is far stronger than most schools of our size.

But Dennis Moore, the division’s administrator, said more time is needed to evaluate the suggestions received from the public at recent hearings Among the a lte rn a tiv e s under consideration are: — An additional Amtrak run between Portland and Eugene with stops at Woodburn, Salem and Albany. —A dditional co m m ercial buses, self-propelled rail cars and carpools To the Editor: We are forming many groups to give the opinions and suggestions of the people to the county, the Forest Service, the Postal Department, i.e., our governmental agencies. I believe the results the people will receive for showing concern will be about the same as if Hitler would have gone to the Jewish people and said, “ Do you have some suggestions as to how to run Dachau?” D Y.
