The assessment is for the main on Black Oak dr. be tweeri Country Club dr. and Walden pi. The vacation is that of Priddy St., in the Jack son County Housing authority area. , . A portion of Lloyd Neil son's property on North Pa cific highway was ordered re zoned from single family to limited light industries to con form with the rest of his prop erty. Consider Sign The council was asked to consider permitting a sign ad vertising Seventh Day Ad- ventist evangelist meetings in the National Guard Armory to be placed near the highway in front of the Armory. But City Attorney E. Roy Bashaw said that since the property was state-owned it was not bound by local zon ing laws. Therefore, he said, the sign could be erected with out council consent to a vari ance being required. The council authorized pay ment for engineering costs for the proposed Berrydale feewer out of the $29,000 recently allotted from the city's sani tary sewer fund to the Berry daye project. These costs, ac cording to Duff, may amount to $5 or $6 thousand.

Main Phone SP 2-5302 In the Day's News Br FRANK JENKINS I suppose you read in the papers the other day the latest proposal for the disposition of Oregon Technical-Institute. It was offered by W". R. Flesher, imported director of the cur rent Oregon' survey of voca tional-technical education in the state. His recommendation to the Oregon State depart ment of education calls for dismemberment of OTI and its removal to the campus of Oregon State College at Cor- valhs. - ': As to what would.be done with it after hauling it Tip to Corvallis,. the Flesher report is vague. Presumably, OTI would be stirred into the OSC soup and the resulting stew would be fed to those seeking education at the technician level. - , iVfORE or less everybody it prinratfnn rirnlec Anteila Southern Oregon has taken a hack at what to do with Ore gon Technical Institute. One suggestion has to do with rebuilding the institution at its present mile-high site. Another proposal is to move it down into Klamath Falls and install it in a multi-mil lion dollar brand new set of modern buildings. Both of these nroDosals call for the spending of a lot of money. Under both of them, the money would be spent for BUILDINGS. So far, nothing much has been said about the kind of education to be pro vided in the buildings after they have been erected! T'D LIKE to offer this thought: Why not leave OTI where it is, use some of the money that everybody outside South ern Oregon seems so anxious to get spent to enlarge the existing facilities so as to en able more students to get into this unusual school that has been so remarkably success ful in getting jobs for ALL of its graduates, wid "spend the rest of it in expanding the faculty and adding some much-needed technical equip ment? - ; After all, the youngsters who come to OTI are chiefly interested in GETTING THE KIND OF . TRADE THEY WANT. They are 'relatively little interested in the . kind of birildings in which the training is provided. What they want is. the. kind of ed ucational equipment that will insure them good jobs and a bright future in this modern technological world.' V . . They aren't much interested in rah-rah. And they are not above attending school .-. in wooden buildings if . the edu ucation provided in the wood en buildings is what they want. , I'D LIKE to recommend to these what-to-do-with-OTI tinkerers' an editorial in the current issue of the American Machinist. It says, in part: ' "The United States, in its eagerness to enlarge and strengthen its system of high er education, is overlooking the vocational schools and two-year technical ' colleges that turn out the skilled work ers and technicians who con vert the drawing board ideas into .reality. - - "If American industry will ever need well-trained shoD nen and technicians it will be in the expansionist 1960's. The , country must have enough graduate engineers and scientists, but they in turn must have the solid sup port of large numbers - of skilled workers and technici ans who are capable of doing many of the tasks that now are assigned to engineers. , "No one would discredit the importance of mathematicians and scientists to our modern technology, but; very few things would ever get off the drawing board, much less off the ground, if it were not for the skilled workers and tech nicians." i , THAT sounds like good, practical common sense. . OTI has got where it is by providing good sound, prac tical education at the tech nical level. It hasn't needed marble buildings in the past. It doesn't need marblev build ings now. , What it does need is to be LEFT ALONE, given money enough to house the students who come to it, and enough more money to. maintain the kind of faculty that will be able to continue to provide the kind of education these practical .'- minded students want.
