SOC Facilities Bad;State Board Partial
By ROY BOUSE
Facilities provided at the Southern Oregon college of Education are
so poor that it is a wonder that the school has managed to exist as long
as it has. The state has been slowly bleeding the colleges of education
to death.
,
Buildings at the school are in such bad condition that even the ter­
mites have given up and moved out. They know when it is time to de­
sert buildings that are about ready to fall down.
Courses which may be taught are so rigidly controlled that the school
is unable to expand to provide the necessary courses for a really good
teachers college. This then is the fate to which the State Board of H igh­
er Education has sentenced the poorer cousins’ of the two larger state
institutions. Finally after much pressure the board allowed SOC to have
a library which will adequately meet its needs. I hope this is the begin­
ning of a movement to provide better classroom facilities as well.
Classrooms in the temporary buildings at Vanport college are about
io times as good as the present ones at SOC. It is about time Oregon
decided to catch up with modern trends. Let the smaller schools have
something. The results may astound the higher-ups that are holding on
to purse strings.
Supplies are doled out at SOC as though they were precious metals
or some priceless item. Student groups and faculty members have to be
careful they don’t waste anything. If they do it looks as if they would
never have a replacement.
The Dean of Men has an office in the gymnasium. There is no room
for him in the administration building. The gym itself is no credit even
to a grade school. The floor looks like it just had a perma-.e.-.t wave and
the spectators gallery' looks like it was put in about i8$o.
Student interest runs high in the school and apparently whatever
the achievements of the school may be in the future, the students and
faculty will be responsible. They owe no thanks to any higher ups.
Students there are proving that a school is what the students put into
it. It is their only chance for survivial unless the state wakes up to the
face that education is a vital necessity for the advancement of the state,
or does the board want the state to advance? Their past attitude would
indicate that they do not.
I challenge the state board to explain why the larger schools need so
much more per student than the smaller ones. It seems to me that it
would be cheaper in a larger school where the faculty is larger and the
enrollment much larger in comparison. Why is it that supplies are plen­
tiful at Oregon and few at SOC. It this a fair administration of state
funds? It don’t feel that it is.
Southern Oregon college, through its own initiative, has forged ahead
and made a fine reputation for itself. In athletics they are considered
one of the best smaller schools. Scholastically they are near J he top of
the list. W ith proper facilities and supplies they could be at the top of
the list. It this what the state board it afreid of?
My recommendation to the board is that they authorize the building
of a new physical plant at Ashland. It is impossible for the present
buildings to be remodeled to fulfill the need. They could be retained
as business offices and could be used for some classrooms but will never
be satisfactory' as the main building of the campus.
The state board can help the smaller schools if it wants to but the
first is up to the schools. They must organize themselves into a unified
group. The students and faculties alike must work together if they
want to succeed. Through unity we can win. Fighting alone we stand
no chance. It think it is up to the students to lead the unification bat­
tle. Lea’s start now and see if we can persuade the board that we are
students as much as the persons who are attending the larger schools.
Let’s start the fight to save, your college and mine. This is our heritage
— this is our duty! Students are leaders so let us lead the battle. There is
no choice. If we want an education we must fight for it. U nity must
be our by-word and action our battle cry. Let’s start working - NO W !

Must Be Catching
Earl T. Newbry must have become infected with the bug "recall-
itis” during one of his visits to Ashland.
See by the upstate papers that some of the Republicans are after
his hide, and that the Young Republicans and State Senator Frank H.
H ilton, Mulnomah county republican, think that it would be a "good
idea” to recall the big orchard and pear man from Ashland.
Hector McPherson, Corvallis, a former state legislator, also made
the same statement.
The outburst and the split in the ranks were caused by N ew bry’s
and W alter J. Pearson’s removal of state Tax Commissioners Wallace
S. W harton and Earl Fisher and the appointment of Ray Smith, presi­
dent of the Oregon Republican Club, and Robert MacLean, W aldport, to
the state tax commission.
All of this was done over the governor’s head, or under the table,
or in some such fashion that Doug McKay was unable to prevent it.
And so, now, some of the republicans are out for Earl’s hide.
We think it will blow over, but the Ashland recall disease must be
quite contagious.
Lafayette. In the park stands a statue to the Pole, Pulaski; another
for the German, Von Steuben.
"Let us die to make men free.”
Why are men willing to die for freedom in war but unwilling to
pay the smaller price to keep their freedom in peace? Why do they
march, gun on shoulder, to battle but fail to march, pen in hand
to the polls? Why do they fight through the flame and steel of the
•foreigner’s guns and bombs but cringe before the anticipated blast of
the embattled politician in their home town?
As we
honor the Frenchman Lafayette, the Pole Pulaski, the
German Von Steuben, do we forget that their countrymen, too, have
often died for freedom, an J as often seen it snatched from tlv m by
enemies from within?
Freedom lost must be again won by the courage of those willing to
die. Freedom won must be retained by the courage of those willing td
live by the ideals for which the others died. Freedom rests not on
guns, money or modern plumbing. Its foundation is no stronger than
the hearts of the men who would be free. Wars end. The bactle for
freedom never ends.
It is right to pause on Memorial Day to honor our dead and the
families who gave them to the cause of freedom. But, my friend, you
cannot pay your debt to them with a garland of flowers, a moment of
silent prayer, a parade and a firing squad. Look in the mirror into your
own eyes. Ask Yourself, "W hat am I doing, today, in my town, to
hold safe the freedom they held so dear?”
—C. B. Lister, from the American Rifleman.
State Treasurer Water J. Pearson who is a democrat and a pretty
sharp cookie might have had something up his sleeve when he talked
Earl Newbry, secretary of state, into helping oust two tax commis­
sioners and appoint two new ones.
The move, which caused Newbry to break with McKay, and brought
down the wrath of a large segment of the Oregon Republican party
on Newbry, has caused serious split within Republican ranks.
The split in fact, was so serious that Pearson has jubilantly stated
that "McKay is the last Republican governor of Oregon.”
This indicates then that Pearson doesn’t take Newbry’s potentiality
to be governor very seriously. Especially now, that Pearson has caused
Earl to lose part of his Republican following.
Looks from here like Pearson pulled a slicker on Earl and the Repub-
icans. He must be a prertty sharp cookie. Maybe Pearson plans to be
the next governor. H e’s sure playing a fast game.
