MAIL TRIBUNE Is College a Does each American boy or girl who graduates from high school have a "right" to go on to college? Not exactly. The availability of an education for every Ameri can is a great ideal, one that thoughful men and worn men have been working toward since before the foun ding of the Republic. While it has been a slow bus iness, the result is that educational opportunities are open to more young Americans than ever before opportunities greater, probably, than in any other na tion on earth. DUT there are two limitations which must be faced. The first is that higher education costs money. Not only does it cost the student (usually by way of his parents), but it also costs the state, for colleges and universities are far from self-supporting through tui tion and fees, under the theory that providing educa tional facilities at less than cost is a proper function of the state. This means that tax money must be used. The second limiation is that not all young people would benefit either themselves or society at large by attending an institution of higher learning. It may be a question of aptitude, or attitude, or ability, or de sire. Many youngsters would be better suited, and hap pier, to start a life work at once, or attend a technical or trade school. "OREGON is smack up against the money limitation. The state board of higher education has proposed a budget for next year some 40 per cent higher than the one for the current year. It still is inadequate to do all the things which need doing hiring all the fac ulty it needs at salaries which will attract and keep good men, and building all the buildings needed to house students and classrooms and laboratories. There are two chief reasons for this impasse. One is the loss of dollar purchasing power; the other is the vastly increased number of students. Enrollment at Oregon's state colleges and univer sities has climbed 50 percent from 12,000 to 18,000 in the past three years. By 1970 (and that's only 14 years away) it will be about 30,000. This forecast is based on the number of children already bom and growing, not on guesses. TF the institutions are to do nothing but "hold the line," it will still cost more money than they have been receiving. If they are to prepare for these vast new enroll ments, it will cost a whopping lot of money tax money. It is for this reason that Chancellor John Richards, in a recent major policy statement, said : "The foremost obligation of the state board is to main tain an excellence in collegiate instruction. If the weight of sheer numbers of students threatens college instructional quality, then it is our clear obligation to control numbers." This, he emphasized, would be done by admitting students whose high school grades, and scores mada in special tests, indicate they are "good risks" for col lege. .... "THE only alternative for such a program would be a wild spending spree for buildings and teachers and equipment a spree of such proportions that the legislature and the people would be aghast. If this is ruled out, then, the solution can only be a policy of "selective admissions," plus a planned and orderly expansion designed to accommodate the max imum number of eligible and qualified students, plus supplementary educational opportunities. These last would obviously include technical and trade schools, and ideally would also include local junior colleges, a suggestion which has been discussed at length in Oregon recently. D ICHARDS himself pointed out that a recent report AV on the junior college problem concluded that the junior college should be "an upward extension of the local school system, rather than a program run direct ly by the state." Such a school, Central Oregon college, has been flourishing in Bend for two years now. Locally-sponsored, locally-financed, it is the source of much pride in the Bend area, and may well furnish a pattern for similar institutions elsewhere. They would, in effect, offer "13th and 14th" grades for high school students; they would be handy and relatively inexpensive to attend, and would be sort of a collegiate "proving ground" for students above the high school level. JJOWEVER one looks at the problems of education, one conclusion a painful one is inescap able. It is going to cost more money. And it is not a situation where educators are just crying for more, and higher taxes to provide it. It is simply the result of decreased purchasing power of the dollar, of higher standards, and, by far the greatest factor, the increase of population. In the United States today there are some 55 23 million children aged 18 or under a gain of more than a third in the past 10 years, and a gain of more than 14 million since 1945, the greatest increase in the nation's history. TF these youngsters are to be offered the boon of education that great American ideal it is going to take more than just money, although that will be required in huge amounts. It is going to take forethought and planning, a selective admissions system for the traditional schools of higher learning, expansion of all types of school fa clities, and widespread experimentation with other, less-traditonal methods of providing educational op portunities, tailored to the requirements of different types of young people. It won't be an easy job, but it must be done. E.A.

View of Annexation To the Editor: This is for the residents of the Berrydale dis trict: The petition I circulated clear ly says, "For the purpose of ac quiring a sewer system, we, the undersigned legal residents of the- Berrydale Sanitary district, respectfully request annexation to the city of Medford." My opening talk at each home was almost the same, usually, "I am circulating a petition, try ing to get a sewer in our dis trict by the only way to get it, annexation." I have nothing against living in the city, but I would not have petitioned for annexation just for a'new address. But for a badly-needed sewer, I'd do almost anything, as the smell in this district is getting terrible! And Mr. Hart of the health de partment told me it is a miracle we haven't already had disease in epidemic proportions. Everyone who signed had the petition in his own hands, to read and check on which of their neighbors h&d signed. I never misrepresented it in any way, or said it would be free. I was told at the bank and the building and loan company that they hadn't been allowed to make FHA loans to biild or to buy in this district for two years. I did bear down on the sub ject of hepatitis, as we have had several cases during the past three years, children and adults. It is acquired from pollution, and is contagious. But I never tcld anyone that they "were in favor of the children of the dis trict getting hepatitis." Mr. Dorenbach demanded to know, right down to the last nickle, how much it would cost him. Can anyone answer that right now? We need a sewer! And it is not going to be given to us. We have to pay for it. But we are net able to finance a disposal plant of our own. We must use Medford's plant, so why not be part of Medford? I outlined the district to the best of my ability to all inter ested, if they didn't understand what was described on the peti tion. I figured everyone knew the meaning of "annexation." None told me they didn't. ' To all those interested in cleaning up this unsanitary dis trict and getting financial aid available, please be ready to vote "yes" for annexation Nov. 6. It is the first step toward a sewer. Also attend the meeting at the council room in the city hall at 8:30 p.m., Oct. 10. And please don't put a cow or calf ahead of a clean district. I also understand some farm land will be set aside for agriculture. Grace Kurz 360 DeBarr ave. Medford, Ore. McKay's Martyr Complex To the Editor: Douglas McKay, Republican candidate for the United States Senate, is show ing signs of developing a martyr complex in the frenzied manner in which he is striking at imag inary enemies. In his blind swinging he also forgets some factual history of Oregon poli tics. Joseph AIsop, one of the na tion's leading columnists, inter viewed Douglas McKay recently and some of McKay's answers and statements are most reveal ing. Those who read Alsop's articles on McKay will recall that McKay poured fourth to Alsop an imaginary account of how he had been "marked for blackening and destruction" by leftists and left-wingers. ' Alsop quoted McKay directly as saying: "The leftists are out to get Doug McKay. They've been blackening me. Why, right now I believe I would get more votes in Texas than in Oregon." Then came the most revealing statement of .all. McKay told Alsop that he went into politics as mayor of Salem in 1932 to "save Salem from a bunch of left wingers." The facts are quite to the contrary. It was the reform, or "liberal" elements, who ran McKay in 1932. At that time McKay was one of the sponsors of the Marion County PUD, organized to establish in his home area the publicly-owned outlets for power which he now finds to be "socialistic." It is the successors to those Marion county progressives Mc Kay now finds so destestable; the successors to the people who gave him his political start. McKay cannot be blamed too much for this blind swinging. He has no issues on which he is running. He gives no reasons why one should vote for him except to "defeat Wayne Morse." The voters of Oregon want positive canidates, not negative candidates. Frances Hamilton Secretary, Jackson County Democratic Central Com mittee. Central Point, Ore. She Has the Record To the Editor: The voting rec ord I have of the house shows on the school bill to build new school rooms 194 votes, 19 Dem- Letters submitted for publication must ocrats for, 75 Republicans for; against the bill, 119 Republicans and 105 Democrats. The last 224 votes were most ly from the deep South. They voted for the Powell amendment to the school bill and then voted the school bill out because of the amendment. Representative Sam Coon was one who voted against the bill, so the Democrats can't be guilty this time of killing that bill, nor of the Tideland Oil bill for education. Senators Morse and Neuberger voted also for the disability benefits in the Social Security. In regard to the help the Ore gon farmer received in the past 23 years, USDA reports they re ceived S103.699.000. But their total income for that period was $5,934,464,000, so the govern ment aided them 1.7 per cent. We have been called leeches on the government, dogs both set ting and hunting. People object to being called names, and a lot of the so-called Republicans are that in name only, so they can hold down jobs. Do you vote for the man or party? I vote for the man, re gardless of party. We have 531 electoral votes, which means we have 435 con gressmen and 96 senators, thus making the 531 electoral votes. I was glad of the editorial on Al Sarena as a symbol. China and Russia may use brain washing power, but they learned it from our politicking friends, did they not? I have the records of the con gress so I don't have to have the radio on from the time the poli ticking starts, until it ends. Gladys Hamilton Route 2, Box 468 Medford, Ore. Law of Nature? To the Editor: It was Henry J. Kaiser who reportedly said "there are three sides to an ar gument your side, my side and the right side." But alack and alas, how we will let our sympa thies, and preference to believe what it pleases us to believe, get in the way of clear judgment. Peopled here as we are by the under-dogs who fled foreign lands to find sanctuary in a land that guarantees them freedom of speech and assembly and right to work, now greatly curtailed, we are prone to go too much to the under-dog. Now our sympathies are all for the Negro in the segregation issue. So, to get the other side and help arrive at the right side, people" from the south working in the pear harvest here were contacted. Said one, "We're here mostly for better wages to pay for a $12,000 home with a green lawn, flowers,' shrubbery and shade tree we have hoped for and dreamed about but could In The Day's Ho! Hum! Last year we were having too much rain. This year we're having too much politics. Such is life. DEMOCRATIC National Chair man Butler accusses Ike of MAKING NO EFFORT, PERIOD! to win Republican support for a federal school aid bill. Personally, that inclines me to put one more good mark on Ike's record. When Uncle Sam begins paying for the schools, he'll be gin RUNNING the schools. In all walks of life, the guy who pays the bills wields a big stick. IT COSTS money to keep them going, but I think we'd better handle our own schools. Besides Federal money comes out of the same pockets as local money. Both federal money and local money are TAX money. Tax money comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers. There is no where else for it to come from. About the only way you can justify asking for federal aid for your schools is to admit that your area is so poverty-stricken that it just can't raise the money. I don't think anyone in any com munity in Southern Oregon or Far Northern California is will ing to admit that. SPEAKING (non-politically) of our schools. Dr. Herbert Sco ville, assistant director - of t"2 U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, says this morning the average Russian high school graduate has a much better grounding in science than the average Ameri can high school graduate'. That is something to worry about. How are we going to run the new world without scientists and technicians?' The.se new gadgets won't run themselves. Every housewife knows that. JUST what, you may ask, is an "intelligence" agency? The blunt answer to your question is that it is an outfit that pies on our' enemies. In the rarified atmosphere of dip lomacy, it isn't considered kosher, to speak of snooping as spying. Spying is a bad word. Intelligence is a good word. GETTING back (shudder!) to politic- You must have noticed that Suez Dispute, Polish Trials, Red Troubles Tops Week's News By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent The week's good and bad news on the international balance sheet: SUEZ The tangled Suez Canal dis pute, now fully recognized as one of the biggest in world af- SW."f fairs since the end of World War II, was brought before the United Na tions. The 11-mem-ber S e c u rity Council, execu- fS!tive committee of the 76-nation Char lei M. McCinn, U.N.. met in New York to take up two com plaints. One, by Britain and France, was made against Egyptian Pres ident Gamal Abdel Nasser's at tempt to seize sole control of the canal. The other, by Egypt, ac cused Britain and France of en dangering peace by their policy in the dispute. There seemed no chance that the council could take effective action. Soviet Russia, closely supporting Nasser, was sure to veto any attempt by the council to call for international control of the canal. A disturbing angle was the division between the United States on one side and Britain never have in the south. But the fact is, the colored race is breed ing while folks right out of the south. I can show you places where the Negroes (my word) are so dense and overbearin", white folk have to walk in the street or be bound there. By and large, the blackman just don't like the whites. My son, home from the Navy and wanderin' into the col ored part of town, was stopped by an old colored man who said, White boy, you iook an' act right good like. You turn right 'round and start going t'other way or your folks won't see you no more, less'n it's floatin' down in the bayou.' That's where you find real segregation enforced. A young wife and mother told me, white folks down there are not prejudiced, bigoted and aU that. They're fighting to stay white folks, they don't want to become colored, which they sure will if forced to live with the blacks. Much more could be said but will have to wait. But when armed soldiery must be used to make two distinct races of peo ple to live in social intimacy, a serious mistake has been made. This time it is flouting of na ture's basic law, call it jungle law if you wish, but can't ignore it like a recent editorial of the M-T. . F. J. Clifford 1211 West Main st. Medford, Ore. News by nk Jenkins back at the beginning of the cam paign our upper bracket candi dates were so polite in referring to each other that butter wouldn't melt in their mouths. They called it "taking the high road." Now they're swinging hay makers at each other at every whistle stop. They call that "taking the low road." ANYWAY, the low road is now crowded like a Los Angeles freeway and you could hoot a cannon down the high road with out winging anybody. HOW come? It's like this: You can go peacefully about your business, being kind to your family, loving children and ani mals, paying your bills, con tributing your share to the United Fund, doing your part to support your church, and no body will pay any attention to you. But JUST START A FIST FIGHT ON THE STREET CORNER. Everybody will be interested in you then. ADLAI IN GOP PROMOTION Delta, Colo. (U.R) Republi cans use Adlal Stevenson to pro mote their own campaign.

Best Investments May Not Be Stocks, Babson Declares By ROGER W. BABSON Gloucester, Mass. A few final day.s of my annual vaca tion here on the "Island of Cape Ann, includ ing Gloucester and Rockport, convince m e that the best i n v es tment program is not necessar ily to confine yourself to stocks and bone'-. The population of tne United States is constantly increasing. Prices, salaries, and wages are also constantly rising. However, the amount of waterfront will be no greater 100, or even 1,000 years hence than exists today. Stocks and bonds can be manu factured indefinitely by stock dividends, stock .splits, spin-offs, and other printing-press meth ods; but it is impossible to in crease waterfront property ex cept by dredging. The above statement applies not only to ocean frontage, but a!,so to river and lake frontage. It also applies to close-by inter ior property with a direct, short right-of-way to the water. This, however, should be carefully protected by proper deeds and restrictions. Where, When To Buy Although the "field furthest away look;; greenest," such waterfront land in the commun ity in which you live, or on land nearby, is usually the safest You know the "outs" about such property, which you do not know about other property. Al though all such land, including well-located house lots, may be attractive, you will profit most by buying land by the acre be fore it i,s sold by the foot. A local real estate broker might advise buying ocean front age at high tide from the na tives, and selling it at low tide to the summer visitors; but I guess this rule i,s now outdated. Waterfront property in northern and central states can, however, usually be purchased for less during a winter snow.-.torm than on a beautiful day in summer. Special bargains can often be secured just before subdivisions, shopping centers, and other real e.state developmnts are to be started. Beware Overflow Land When buying waterfront with which you do not have a life long acquaintance, it is well to j learn whether it has ever been flooded. This especially applies to lake or river frontage. The best of such property is to study the character of .the building; nearby, and trees, shrubbery, etc. It may even be wise to spend a day studying files of the local newspaper covering the last 50 years. Although it is safe to build only above and beyond the pos sibility of destructive floods, yet the national and state govern ments are constantly working on flood control. Hence, it is reasonable to believe that flood ing will be le.ss rather than more in future years. This, however, does not apply to ocean front age. No means have yet been 1 jrK - '?-- i Roger IV isabtoii Minor disorders were report ed in the Poznan area. Dis patches said that riotous demon strations were expected to break out in protest against any sen tences which might be imposed on the defendants. The government's dilemma was (1) harsh sentences would bring the danger of serious out breaks in Poznan and perhaps other cities and (2) mild sen tences would only encourage op position to the government. TITO It was established clearly that the talks between Yugoslav President Marshal Tito and So viet leaders, started in Yugo slavia and continued in Russia, were due to problems in rela tions between the Soviet gov ernment and its satellites. It was indicated strongly that these problems, stemming from the trend away from Stalin type dictatorship, had caused a split in the Soviet regime itself. Tito, apparently, was called in as a consultant. The prospect was that Tito's prestige as an independent Communist leader would be increased and that he would continue to get Ameri can aid. discovered to eliminate ocean storms and hurricanes, but cer tain nonerosion work now being caried on by the Norton L, Holmes Co. of Lake Wale,-. Fla. is worthy of careful attention. Outboard Motors Every new outboard motor sold should add a penny to the value of waterfront property whether ocean, lake or river. Outboard motors and aluminum boats have been greatly improv ed during the past ten years. Great improvements in these outboard motors are on the drawing boards. There are amaz ing statistics relating to this sub ject. It is rumored that "solid ga,-oline" or compressed natural gas (600 cubic feet to 1 cubic foot) may some day be pur chased to serve as a three months' supply for the average size boat. In contrast to the above, every new automobile "sold may detract a penny from the value of in terior land. Autos are getting so thick and accidents increas ing so that people may some day refrain from using them for recreation especially if they are advised to remain home Sun days add holidays when the road.s are closely patrolled. Going back to my reference to stocks in the first paragraph of this column, I should add that, in most states, you have no taxes to pay on non-income-paying stocks, while you hold them, but you mu,st pay taxes on vacant land wherever it is lo cated. This means that today, when stock price? are high, it may well to switch from stocks to non-taxable bonds. Then re verse your investment program later and switch the non-taxable bonds into stock and vacant land when these are again low in price. STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP. MANAGEMENT. CIRCULATION.
