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.

not exceed 400 words.
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.

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.

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.

DEMOCRATIC National Chair

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.

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

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

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

he would continue to get Ameri

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

day refrain from using them for

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.
