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.
