The Junior College Proposal
; Now beinjr drafted in the drafting committee of the
lower house of Oregon's legislature is a bill which, if
passed, could be of great assistance to Bend School Di.s-
trict No. 1 as well as other districts in the state in
the operation of Central Oregon College and other junior
colleges.
The bill, scheduled to be intmdii.w.ri with;,, u r.
few days, would, serve to put
lege system on a par with, systems in other states of the
nation.
Junior colleges have been a phenomenon of Ameri
can education during the past 30 years. They exist to a
greater or lesser degree in most states of the union. Three
states, Mississippi, Texas and California, have large num
bers of them.
;', The junior college movement started and was fos
j tered to take care of three general types of students.
These aref
..: 1. The student who wants and needs a college edu
;eation,'but who is financially unable through no fault
;of his own or of his parents to attend n fV.nri.on..
slitulion of higher learning.
nome, working part-lime, he quite often can save enough
r.to complete his college courses. Junior colleges have been
provided in many states for these students, particularly
where four-year colleges are located at such a distance
from their homes that they would be unable to commute.
2. The student who needs some work beyond the
...high school level, but who does not need or desire a four-
year course in that work. Such courses generally are of
fered in junior colleges in fields such as moehani.-, ..,
; incss, agriculture (short courses) and others. Quite oft
en me financial problem of going away from home for
two or more years exists here, too.
3. The student who is not "ready" to trn in eollo.ro
..Many of these, away from
i.uonany equipped to take the plunge into full college ac
tivities, wind up on probation lists of four-year colleges,
! whereas two years of lower-division schooling at home,
I! under close supervision of their spare-time activities,
f would enable them to make the big jump to college-level
: work without falling by the wayside.
'! Realizing that these needs existed here in Central
Oregon, the Bend school board a few years ago entered
into a contract with the Stale Board of Hicher Kdina-
tion, providing for stale supervision of faculty and cur
riculum at Central Oregon College. The results, to date,
have been outstanding.
Students attending the college have, in a number of
..teases, been able to go on to complete their college cours
es, courses they would never have been able to start tin-
...Jess the local institution had been established. Other
Central Oregon residents, in relatively large numbers,
have taken advantage of terminal and vocational cours
es offered at the college.
The institution, as the board knew it would when it
was established, has taken money to -operate. Students
.-pay fees $165 per year for full-time students and pro
portionately less for those who attend on a part-time
'basis and the balance of the operating cost is made
;,up in the school district's budget.
" This balance amounts to a little more than half of
the college's olici'atinir costs.
The bill now being written will provide that the
restate shall, within pretty clearly defined limits, aid in the
support of such colleges, recognizing that students in the
schools come from more than one high school district.
(About one-fourth of the students in the Central Oregon
College, for example, live outside of Bend School District
No. 1, yet the district pays
they take excepting their fees.)
State simnorl. not. now nossible under the chantc
;of Oregon Revised Statutes
... organized, would amount to M.OIM per year to the college,
plus $100 per full-time student per year, with a limita
tion that the state's contributicn not amount to more
than one-half the operating costs of such colleges alter
student, fees are credited against the budgets. No state
; funds would be available for construction purposes.
The cost to the state would be relatively low less
I ban SI 0.000 net- vear at present and the benefits to
students in relatively isolated areas, isolated from otli
state institutions of burlier education, would be great.
At present the local district is carrying the burden
for the rest of the stale on
who are attending the college.
here, we also pay state taxes sufficient to support then:
in other institutions. This is an inequity which the pre
posed bill would alleviate.
Cost of education of students here about $IT."i per
.! year above student fees are so much lower than they
are at other state institutions that we feel the stale
.should welcome the opportunity to take part of the com
' ing enrollment pressure off its present institutions.

One prominent Chinese Nation

Reject Plan
Nationalist quarters point to
Communist broadcasts trom Pei

strongly recommended to Pciping
by Britain. These broadcasts, they
add, have stressed Red China's
determination to continue military
action until they get Formosa.

Neuberqer
Says Attacks
Aimed at Him
WASHINGTON (UP) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore)
says anonymous personal at
tacks" are being made upon him
in an attempt lo "discredit" him
with bis Senate colleagues.
During .ae past week. Neuberg
er said. "Many members of the
Senate have been receiving in
plain envelopes, mailed without
identification from Portland.
(Ore. I photostatic copies of col
umns and editorials unfavorable
lo me and my views on public
affairs." Neuberger condemned such tac
tics as "treacherous and shame-
fur' and said they are "in direct
violation o f the corrupt practices
law" of Oregon.
A similar attack was made dur
ing the last election campaign,
Neuberger said, but he chose to
ignore it "until it turned into the
present effort to discredit me
with my colleagues in Ihe Senate
and to impair my effectiveness in
serving the people of the Slate of
Oregon here in Ihe capital."
Neuberger said the reaction of
his colleagues lo what they de
scribe as a "sneak attack" has
been "most encouraging."
'Regardless of whether they
agree with me polilically, they
condemn it as unworthy of Amer
icans." be said.
Neuberger said he is calling the
attack to public attention now
"because I believe lhe people of
Oregon should know that lhe
spiteful and vindictive political
forces which used the same meth
ods during the last campaign
have resumed their activities,
even though the attacks represent
more of a disservice to the peo
ple of Oregon than to me person

"Maybe they are right,'
the

"Maybe they have nothing to

munists to date would lead one to
believe otherwise.
"Since 1SM5, Communist control
led territory has- been expanded
by military efforts by more than
3,891,000 square miles."
Hong Kong's 32 square miles
would be a mere drop in the buck
et in terms of real estate. But it
would be a gigantic plum for Pei
ping's prestige and it has strategic
importance as well.
The biggest factor weighing
against a Red move on Hong Kong
is its importance to the Commu
nists as a base for trade both in
goods and information with the
West.
If Pciping decides the advan

keeping that "window" ' open in
Asia, it is believed here that a
move against Hong Kong will not
be long coming.
