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.

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.

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.
