Attitude of
College Officials
To Politicians Hit
Salem U.R) College and
university administrations which
stand aloof from invitations to
political candidates for campus
appearances were criticized for
doing a disservice to "Young
America" here this week by the
editor of the American college
public relations association news
letters.
Attitudes Vary Widely
In an editorial, Travis Cross,
assistant to the chancellor of
Oregon's system of higher edu
cation, said a sampling of col
legiate administration attitudes
across the country toward ap
pearances of political candidates
and discussion of controversial
issues varies widely.
"Some administrations stand
aloof from official connections
with candidate invitations, in
sisting that sponsorship come
from the young this or that on
the campus," Cross said. "Oth
ers do not tolerate appearance
of political figures in any sense.
And some have the 'come one,
come all' policy. There are even
a few who welcome candidates
but ask them to talk about non
controversial issues."
Imminent Danger
Cross said he sees an im
minent danger in the 1956 poli
tical campaigns that candidates
will son concentrate on televi
sion appearances they will by
pass opportunities for "hinter
land personal visitation" thus
missing the campuses altogether.
He observed: "We should resist
the trend. You can't ask a ques
tion of a TV set and you can't
get the thinking of Young Amer
ica from the studio."
TOO YOUNG
Storrs, Conn. (U.R) Cussin'
can get you kicked out of the
university of Connecticut if
you're under 21. The university
recently adopted a new policy
that prescribes suspension for
students under 21 who are heard
using "profane or vulgar language."

Rayburn Opposes
General Tax Cut
Washington (U.R) Speak
er Sam Rayburn came out to
day against any general tax cut
now.
But he did not rule out a tax
cut for the "little fellow," next
year, if the loss of revenue can
be made up elsewhere.
"But up to now I am not con
vinced 'that the next session of
Congress should pass a tax bill
that will reduce revenues that
we will be needing desperately,"
Rayburn said. "In light of world
conditions we might need more
revenues."
Rayburn discussed taxes at a
news conference after attending
a White House meeting of Dem
ocratic and Republican congres
sional leaders. The leaders
heard plans for expanded mili
tary spending and a bigger bud
get for overseas information,
but there was no discussion of
taxes at the White House meet
ing. Rayburn prefaced his opposi
tion to a general tax cut now
with a statement that he didn't
know whether the administra
tion is going to make any rec
ommendation on taxes.

The Holiday Spirit travels all over town
by telephone... when you invite friends
to a Christmas party, or arrange a family
gathering, or exchange personal greetings.
Christmas shopping is another thing .
the telephone helps out with... whether
you're ordering gifts for the youngsters
or more ornaments for the tree.

We appreciate the chance to serve you
during any season. But we get extra satis
faction from doing so now, when so many
calls have special meaning to the people
who make and receive them.
Handy helper at Christmastime Ihe telephone. There
are lots of satisfying things about telephone work ... all year long.
But at Christmastime, there are even more than usual. There's a
good feeling, for instance, in putting in a telephone for Santa . . .
even if it's just temporary and in a department store instead of at
the North Pole. When you think of the thrilling voice this telephone
will carry to scores of youngsters, can you help but smile? There are
many pleasant moments for us, too, in helping people here in town
exchange personal Holiday greetings ... in helping bring friends and
families closer together, when it counts most.
Pacific Telephone
people everywhere
wish you a very
happy
Holiday Season
