LEGISLATORS TO
RENAME OREGON
NORMAL SCHOOLS
(J TATE legislators are in the pro-
cess of renaming Oregon’s
three normal schools Southern
Oregon Normal at Ashland, East-
em Oregon Normal at I-a Grande
and Oregon Normal at Monmouth.
The lower house Wednesday pass
ed a bill which would change the
names of the three institutions to
colleges of education, and Thurs
day the bill was forwarded to the
senate. If passed by that body,
Southern Oregon Normal school
would henceforth be known as
Southern Oregon College of Edu
cation, and the Monmouth and La
Grande normal schools would ex
perience a corresponding renam
ing.
According to Dr. Walter Red
ford, SONS president, the newer
name of college of education, or
even teachers’ college, would be
preferable to "normal school.”
Normal school athletic teams
have adopted the term "SONS”
as their moniker, taking the insti
tution’s initials literally. Just how
students would adapt the newer
initials of SOCE has as yet been
unexplained. Should the bill pass
the senate, a barrage of brain
pressure aimed at solution of the
problem is expected on the part
of students, school officials and
townspeople, the legislators appar
ently being content to leave such
details to local whim.

CITY DADS URGE SNOW FAILS TO
SPLIT OF FUNDS CLOSE HIWAYS
Mayor T. S. Wiley and City At
torney Frank Van Dyke Wednes
day attended a legislative hearing
on the proposed division of state
highway funds with municipali
ties in Salem. They presented fig
ures from Ashland pertinent to the
question and added the weight of
their presence to a move by Ore
gon cities to obtain a share of the
gas tax revenues for city street
maintenance.
Ashlaad figures tendered at the
hearing showed that average an
nual street depreciation here is
$9000. and that $12.000 would be
required to improve streets to
first class condition. City officials
maintain that total needs here are
too heavy for taxpayers to carry,
and join with other cities in ask
ing relief through division of gas
tax revenues.
The battle for funds $745,(XXY -
is being led by the League of Ore
gon cities and at present is the
subject of discussions with the
joint committee on roads am!
highways at the state capitol.

Although
almost
continuous
snowfall yesterday piled more than
36 inches of white covering on
Siskiyou and Greensprings high
ways, motor traffic continued un
interrupted last night, according
to late information. Motorists were
being advised to use chains on all
mountain roads, however, as ice
and snow made travel dangerous.
An unusually dry fall has been
offset by snow, which started fall
ing in earnest a week ago, and
I observers were confident yester
day that ample moisture lay ice-
locked in the hills to assure water
for municipal and irrigation needs
throughout the summer.
Snow was falling steadily on the
Siskiyous and Greensprings at a
late hour last night, and an unus
ually heavy fall was reported in
Klamath Falls.
