SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thuridar. February 24. 1955 SOC President Backs School Budget Before Brown's Committee - Salem Dr. Elmo Stevenson, president of Southern Oregon college, Ashland, defended his school's budget requests before a sub-committee of the ways and means committee here Tuesday afternoon. The committee, headed by State Sen. Gene Brown, Grants Pass, (author of a motion passed -Tuesday morning to reduce the entire state budget by 10 per rentl. was obviouslv looking for -places to cut down. Dr. Steven son said any cuts at SOC would hurt would "handicap us ter ribly." . Would Hit Salaries vAs a hypothetical question, Senator Brown asked Dr. Steven son what would happen if the SOC budget were cut by 10 per cent. The educator pointed out that 80 per cent of the college's operating budget is wages and salaries; that, thus, 80 per cent of the cut would have to come from wages and salaries, and that this would boil down to reducing the staff or cutting sal aries. The only special service of fered at Southern Oregon col lege, he added, other than gener al instruction, is in the speech clinic which serves a hundred or more youngsters with speech dif ficulties in Jackson, Josephine and Curry counties. In SOC's budget, he said, it is a1 minor item. . As another hypothetical ques tion, Senator Brown asked what would be the result of eliminat ing the summer session at the college, - and Dr- Stevenson ex plained that students in the sum mer are primarily teachers from southern Oregon who must use the summer to continue their educational work. It would be a real hardship on these 600 or more teachers to lose that close-to-home chance for educational advancement, he. declared. No Decision Made - - Brown pointed out that no de cision has yet been made on cuts in the budget, and the session was only one of a series with officials of Oregon's various uni versities and colleges to see what can be done to keep costs down and, if possible, to pare them iurther. Sen. Phil Lowry, Medford, sat in on the session, and at the end stated that he has watched Dr. Stevenson "pull the school up by its bootstraps," and that as the only institution of higher educa tion in a large area, more edu cational value per dollar spent comes out of it than at either Ore gon State college or the univer sity. "I'd hate to see you cut the budget there," he said. In reviewing the situation at SOC, Dr. Steyenson pointed out that it is the second fastest-grow ing institution of higher educa tion in the state (behind Portland State), jumping from 67 students in 1946 to more than 700 today, with more increases expected. More than 50 per cent of the stu dents come from the immediate vicinity, he said, and a number come . from neighboring Cali fornia communities. Continued growth of the area has been even faster than expected, and he forecast an enrollment of some 800 students next year, and 1,200 by 1960. - The college's budget, aside from operating expenses for the coming biennium, includes a request for some $1,500,000 for the construction of a new physi cal education plant, which is sec ond on the priority list of the en tire state system of higher educa tion. Dr. Stevenson pointed out that this addition would permit the college to just double its in structional space, and at no ad ditional cost to the state, through a combination of circumstances. Can Be Remodeled The present physical education piant ana gymnasium, fie ex plained, was built through the use of student fees. With it re leased from physical education duties, it can be remodeled to in clude 15 new classrooms, and this, together with one or two others, would double the present Watermelon Found For Leukemia Victim San Francisco (U.R) San Francisco Bay area police, high way patrolment and sheriff's number of teaching stations.. The remodeling cost would not be a charge to the state, he ex plained, for it is planned to do this with a generous gift recent ly made to the college. (He did not name the donor, but it is money willed to the college from the estate of the late Miss Amalia Britt, of Jacksonville.) The committee adjourned with no decision made on the budget, which will be brought up again for a line-by-lice going over later, after the ways and means committee has made a firmer decision on just how' to effect the budget cuts which it pro poses. ;- .. . deputies joined yesterday in a statewide search for out offsea son watermelon to satisfy the craving of Sharron La Baug, Portland, a 14-year-old leukem-. ia victim. The melon was finally found; thanks to a San Jose, Calif. y hotel clerk, just 15 miles from; Portland. Clerk Don Prindle, ad vised of the watermelon need by Santa Clara County sheriff's office, recalled his mother-in-Mrs. Marge Haddrick, 49, Os wego, Ore., stored "anything ed ible" in her home freezer. . z- Prindle phoned Oswego and found she had two quarts of watermelon hearts, Portland po lice sent a patrol car the 15 miles' to Oswego to pick up the melon hearts.
