The HEHISCH Edited by the Journalism Class of Heppner High School STAFF Editor Armin Wlhlon Assistant Miriam Moyer Reporters: William Thomson, Roy Gentry, Rachel Anglin, Alice Bleakman, Frank Anderson, An abel Turner, Edmond Gonty, Kathleen Cunningham. Editorial The high school students should conscientiously fulfill the trust placed in them. They should realize that they should be dependable. When a teacher steps from her room for a few minutes, students, please don't start talking, laughing and cutting up in general. When passing down the halls, don't push and shove. In assembly periods, don't talk and laugh just to aggra vate the teacher, because you are also hindering the ones who are working. Students don't realize how rough and noisy they are. Fellow students, let us be polite and trustworthy. "Come on, gang, let's get going," will be quite a prevalent phrase Saturday by 2:30, when Heppner plays the one big game of the sea son at Pendleton. According to com parative scores Heppner stands a 50-50 chance with Pendleton. Al though the boys keenly feel the loss of Curtis Thomson, halfback, their spirits are high, and with a lot of expected sideline support, expect to win. Coach Mabee states that with the exception of Curtis whose arm is hurt the boys are in fine condi tion. Come on, folks, come back your boys at the Heppner-Pendle-ton game held at the Round-Up grounds Saturday at 2:30. A $99.75 Value Save Money! Save Time! Save Clothes! Buy Now!

NOT CONSOLIDATION . . . but a COSTLY EXPAISDON. Hit ZORN - MACPHERSON SCHOOL "JUGGLING" BILL AT TAX PAYERS' EXPENSE ESTABLISHES 4 NEW SCHOOLS, CREATES S NEW TYPES OF SCHOOLS BOTH UNTRIED and UNNEEDED. Under the guise of economy, unknown interests propose this extrava gant building and wrecking program, which claims to be a consolida tion of Oregon's higher educational system. There are five cam puses now, and if this bill is approved, there will (till be five camnuses after a raid has been made on the taxnavera' tnnnnvl The following facts will enable every taxpayer to prevent this experiment which endangers our higher educational system, and results in a tremendous financial outlay by taxpayers. 4 2 New Schools Established This bill actually creates 4NEW schools a junior college at La Grande and Ashland; a law school at Salem; and a teachers' college at Eugene. In addition, it "junks" the Monmouth Normal School, valued at $700,000, ana uses but one-third of the facilities of the University at Eugene. This disarrangement will result in a tremen dous financial outlay by taxpayers for additional NEW schools, NEW departments, NEW courses and NEW equipment. There are five campuses now. If this bill Is approved there will still be five campir ; but, in addition, the taxpayers will be forced to erect new hou ..ig facilities for the University law school and library at Salem; provide NEW buildings and dormitories to accommodate the greatly increased student body poured onto the Corvallis cam pus; and equip two NEW junior colleges and a teachers' college with new and costly facilities for conducting NEW and untried system. New Types of Schools Proposed Two NEW TYPES of schools are created by this bill two junior olleges and a teachers' college both untried and unneeded in Oregon. To educate students for junior standing in technical and scientific college courses, requires expensive laboratories and equipment, thus triplicating the same facilities now maintained at the University and State College. The passing of this bill estab lishes the principle of STATE SUPPORT TAX for all or any junior colleges. Every town in the State of Oregon will then have the right to demand a junior collegel Every legislature session will invite log-rolling bills for appropriations for new junior colleges in ambitious localities. Taxpayers of this state are asked to vote on this costly junior and teachers' college experiment, with every expenditure made at their expense. In addition, this bill claims a saving of $1,000,000 per year in taxes, BUT DOES NOT ACTUALLY REDUCE OREGON'S BASIC STATE TAX (or higher education by a SINGLE PENNY. You will pay the same tax for state schools as you do now if this bill Is approved. vote 317 x NO! The Zorn-Macpherson A School Moving Bill establishing T NEW SCHOOLS.
