I.rry TelN Attitude P. 11. D'Arcy -spoke briefly on lh issues In the coming election. l3 said he bad been grossly .misrepre sented in several of the newspapers as to his attitude on education. Mr. D'Arcy emphatically ' denied the published statements attributed to him saying he has. during his lone- residence in Salem, taken an active interest in promoting educa tion, in the public schools. It is his expressed belief tha! anyone seeking a college or university education should not ask the, taxpayers to foot his expenses while pursuing such aJ vanced studies. lr. D'Arcy'a remarks were loudly applauded. It was clear that. thoe who ex pressed themselves, were opposed to all measures on the ballot except the millage bill for the support of the public schools. Kven this was con ditioned on the fact that no other source of revenue for this purpose could be made available. It was openly charged at the meet ing that the higher educational In- tistutions have become political ma chines and that they are Wing ably sii!port?d by Eugene and Corvallis in their efforts to secure the passage of the millage appropriations.
