The Figures Are Impressive
The coming decade will see more
than a doubling of facilities, staff, and
students at this regional college serving
southern Oregon.
The enrollment will exceed 2,500 be
cause of the higher birth rate, greater
immigration, wider services, and in
creasing demand for a college educa
tion. The professional and administra-.
tive staffs will need to be increased to
about 150 and civil service personnel
to over 60. The campus boundaries will
have to be expanded to include another
30 acres, making a campus of over 100
acres. More than nine million dollars,'
two-thirds of it requested from the state
legislature, for building space and ,
land, must be provided to adequately
handle the enrollment and to provide fa
cilities normally provided by a complete
college. ,
The college, fast developing its re
gional service, will need to expand its
curriculum in a number of ways. Since
teacher education is one of its basic
functions, the professional degrees will
be strengthened and an expansion of
teaching areas into music, art, and phys
ical education are next steps. Prepri
mary education will be further develop
ed. Teacher-librarians, school camping,
and outdoor education will be given em
phasis, i - -
The offering in liberal arts will be
expanded, enriched, and given empha
sis. Additional short terrm (two weeks
to two years) curricula will be initiated
to meet the particular needs of the peor
pie of the area in horticulture, wood
utilization, tourist, and adult education
services.
The institution will continue its lead
ership role in the cultural activities of
the southern Oregon region.
THE. quotation above is from Dr. Elmo Steven-
son, president of Southern Oregon college, and
describes his assesment of the immediate future
of the college.
Statements very similar, and some even more
ambitious, have been made by the heads of other
units of the state system
the University of Oregon, Oregon State College,
Portland State college, Oregon College of Edu
cation, Eastern Oregon college, the U. of O. Medi
cal and Dental schools and the general extension
division.,. ,
Even if the schools' roles as service and clu
tural centers are to be denied (and we don't quite
see how this can be done), the sheer statistics of
enrollment, if nothing else, show what higher
education in Oregon is In for within the next
few years.
I 0 OK at these figures:
- In 1940, a total of 9,905 students were en
rolled in all the units of the system of higher
education.
Thirteen years later, in 1953, the total was
12,945.
Five years later, in the fall of 1958, this had
jumped to 21,686.
In 1968, only $y2 years from now, the pro
jected figures show an enrollment of some 41,000
students nearly double the number today.
And that 1968 total isn't a wild guess, either
it is a solid projection of what is going to hap
pen to children who are now attending elemen
tary school. They are here; they can be counted;
the percentages who will go on to college can be
accurately estimated on the basis of experience.
IF THE esimates err, they probably err on the
conservative side. For more and more, a college
education is becoming the sine qua non of suc
cess in a career.
Even a greater stringency in admission stan
dards cannot hold down enrollments materially.
And there is a question whether the people of
Oregon want the standards raised too high, for
traditionally they have approved the policy of
admitting all qualified high school graduates,
who can and want to go, to college.
The enrollment figures are explicit in showing
only one phase of the problem; but they indi
cate related questions, such as:
How many more buildings, how much more
land, will be needed?
Where are we to obtain the faculties needed,
and how retain them?
How- will this "quantity" education affect
the quality of education? And which schools
should handle what part of the load?
HTHESE questions affect every citizen of the
state in one way or another. One of the ways
in which everyone is affected is the question oi
how it is all to be paid for?
These problems of higher education are only
a part of what is meant when realistic people
declare that the cost of state government cannot,
in the foreseeable future, be decreased.
Economy in government is important, par
ticularly in these days of rising costs. But the
blunt truth is that if Oregon is to maintain the
services which she now demands, she's going to
have to find a way to pay for them.
This is true not only in the field of higher
education (for highways, other institutions, and
other governmental agencies are facing similai
problems). But in higher education the statistics
speak graphically and impressively for them
selves. L.A. '"

Matter of Fact
THE GENERAL
DISCREDITED
Washington -The latest and
most impressive Soviet rocket
launching is only one more
proof that na
tional defense
ought to be
the over -rid
ing issue in
the new Con
gressional ses-
;J sion. For once
in a way,
moreover,
what ought to
loi-pb Alsop ppcu "i
theory may almost happen in
fact.
All the ablest and best in
formed leaders of Congress,
reading from Sen. Stiles
Bridges on the right to Sen.
Hubert Humphrey on the left,
have returned to Washington
in a mood of active, vocal, al
most angry disquiet about na
tional defense problems.
There is hardly a trace, any
longer, of the old willingness
to "leave defense to Ike." Ex
cept for one or two old faith
fuls like Sen. Leverett Salton
stall, the more influential law
makers all more or less deep
ly distrust the President's
budget - minded defense plan
ning. ' .
THERE are two quite practi
cal reasons for this novel
distrust. First, the Congress
ional chieftains are far more
aware than the general public
of the enormous fraud prac
ticed in the post - Sputnik
period. They know, in fact,
that the pretended increase of
the American defense effort
after the Sputniks was really
nothing but an increase of de
fense publicity.
In the fog -of press releases,
even the most knowing men
on The Hill took some time to
perceive that the Sputniks'
challenge was not being an
swered with any great effort
or investment that had not
been previously programmed.
But they have perceived it
now, as they could hardly fail
to do. Three days after the
Soviet moon probe, the Presi
dent himself blandly told the
White House meeting of Con
gressional leaders that his
1960 defense budget would
actually be somewhat less
than his 1959 budget.
The figures are $40,850,
000,000 of requested appro
priations, against $41,140,000,
000 last time. These are stag
gering figures. The Congress-j
ional chieftains might worry
less about the neglect of the
Sputniks' challenge, if they
were not increasingly aware
of the detailed defense facts.

questions about these articles,
and so 'they should.
General Phillips, one of the
best defense experts in the
business, paints the darkest
picture of the missile gap that
has been traced by any in
formed brush. Some of Phil
lip's facts are questioned at
the Pentagon, quite probably
as a result of the corruption
of complacency in our current
intelligence analysis. But as
Chief of the War Projects Di
vision of the semi-"official"
Rand Corp., Wohlstetter be
longs, in effect, to an annex
of the Air Force Planning
Staff. Not even a Pentagon
press office can question
Wohlstetter's knowledge of
the defense facts.
After denouncing this al-
legedly gloom-prone reporter
as an "unwarranted optimist,"
Wohlstetter, the government
employed expert, bleakly re
marks that "we must expect a
vast increase in the weight of
attack which the Soviets can
deliver with little (or no)
warning." Therefore, he says,
"strategic deterrence, while
feasible, will . be extremely
difficult to achieve." He con
cludes, in effect, that the
United States "may not have
the power to deter attack" at
"critical junctures in the
1960s," if we go on as we are
going.
THIS plain warning of a
possible failure of the
American strategic deterrent
is plainly confirmed by signs
in the Pentagon such" as the
rising talk about "minimum
deterrence." Minimum deter
rence means nothing more
nor less than a strategy of
killing the Soviet Union with
a few big, dirty H-bombs,
thrown in the death rattle
after this country and almost
all its striking forces have
been killed already. Behind
the theory of minimum deter
rence, there is nothing more
nor less than flabby, helpless
acceptance of the gravest sort
of inferiority to the Soviets in
strategic striking power.
Wohlstetter's warning is
also confirmed by the Krem
lin s threat to Berlin, which
can only be countered by com
plete readiness to fight a big
war. N i k i t a Khrushchev
would hardly be making this
kind of threat if he did not
think the military balance
was sharply tilting in his fav
or, and if he did not expect
the West's answer to be in
fluenced by the tilt of the
military balance.
In this, one hopes, Khrush
chev has miscalculated. Thus
far, the Western response to
the threat to Berlin seems
likely to be completely firm.
The crisis arising from this
threat is also likely to give
just the needed extra push to
the existing Congressional im
pulse to do something about
national defense before it is
too late.

Senate GOP Finds Unity But
Scars of House Fight
By RAYMOND LAHR
Washington - (DPD - Repub
lican senators emerged today
from their leadership contest
without visible scars, but bit
terness threatened to linger
indefinitely among GOP
House members.
Supporters of the deposed
House Republican Leader
Joseph W. Martin read all
sorts of meanings into his de
feat two days ago by Rep.
Charles A. Halleck. They pro
fessed to see evidence that
Vice President Richard Mi
Nixon and Thomas E. Dewey,
twice the GOP presidential
nominee, had played a part
in Martin's defeat.
The White House explicitly
denied Martin's assertion that
three White House aides -but
not President Eisenhower
- had worked for Halleck.
Denies Nixon Role
Sources close to Nixon also
denied that he had taken
any part. One informant said
Martin telephoned Nixon to
ask if the vice president were
helping Halleck and was as
sured that Nixon was not en
couraging the anti-Martin
campaign.
Rep. Robert C. Wilson (R
Calif .), a friend of Nixon, said
it was mere coincidence that
Nixon's friends in the House
were on the Halleck band
wagon. He said they wanted
a younger leader than the 74-year-old
Martin.
"This was no Nixon move
ment," Wilson said.
Reports of pressure from
the Dewey camp were at
tributed to private explana
tions within the New York
House delegation for, giving
support to Halleck. ;

ARGUING WITH SEN.
DOUGLAS
With all due respect to Sen.
Paul Douglas, whom I admire
very much, the question at
issue in the
Senate is not
whether the
majority shall
rule. The ques
tion is what
kind of major
ity shall rule.
For there are
many sorts of
mainrifiisc
i Walter -
Lippmann ... " o e n a t o r
Douglas wants one more than
half of the Senators elected to
rule, which would be 50 Sen
ators. But on most of the busi
ness of the Senate on more
than half of a auorum. which
would be 26 votes, can pass
a bill. Thus Sen. Douglas him
self recognizes that on a ques
tion of closing debate, a big
ger majority should be re
quired than for ordinary leg
islation.
The present rules of the
Senatte require 66 Senators
to close a debate, and excludes
closure of a debate on a
change in the rules. The John
son - Knowland amendment,
which will probably be adop
ted, require a two-thirds ma
jority of - those present and
voting,- whoch can theoretical
ly be as many as 66 and as
few as 34, to close debate.
Sert. John . Sherman Cooper
has now suggested that the
majority be three-fifths, which
would, theoretically, permit
closure by as few as 30 Sen
ators up to as many as 59
Senators, depending on how
many Senators were present
and voting. ,
-. .
SEN. Douglas is, therefore,
begging' the question when
he talks as if "majority rule"
were something simple and
obvious to all men. Moreover,
he ignores the nature of the
Senate, which is the represen
tative in our system of a fed
eration of states. In the Sen
ate, what does it mean to
speak of "majority rule?" A
majority of what? A majority
of the states or a majority
of the people of the United
States?
In the House of Representa
tives and the members repre
sent, more or less exactly, the
voters themselves, and a mem
ber from New York and a
member from Alaska or Ne
vada represent approximately
the same number of people.
But this is not true of the
Senate.
Thus when Sen. Douglas
wants 50 Senators to be able
to close a debate and to pass
a bill, he calls it majority
rule which is "the basic prin
ciple of our government." But
suppose the 50 Senators rep
resent the 25 smallest states?
Taking the figures for the cen
sus of 1950, the 25 smallest
states which have 50 Senators,
represent 29,000,000 people,
or less than one-fifth of the
population in 1950. Against
these 25 states there were

if not anxious, to back up
a ruling his feeling that a
majority of the Senate should
be- able to change its own
rules. And behind this has
been Nixon's strong support of
civil rights legislation to as
sure Negroes and others their
full equal opportunities under
the Fourteenth Amendment.
As the front-runner for the
GOP presidential nomination
in 1960, Nixon already is
credited with broad backing
among Negro voters. Friends

three states, New York, Cal
ifornia, and Pennsylvania,
which had 7,000,000 more peo
ple m them than all the 25
combined.
e e
rpHE moral of all this is that
- in the Senate, "majority
rule" is not something which
all good men must favor and
only reactionaries or worse
can oppose. The question of
what kind of majority " shall
prevail is not one of simple
arithmetic or of absolute prin
ciple but of political wisdom.
For those of us who prefer
the Johnson to the Douglas
amendment of Rule XXII,
there are two outstanding con
siderations. One, which refers to the
civil rights of Negroes, is that
we wish the Federal govern
ment to proceed if not with
the consent, then at least with
the assent, of a large body of
Southern opinion. We think
that legislation ; which does
not have at least the assent of
the liberal South will prove
to be unenforcible.
- The other consideration
which moves us is that we
do not wish to entrust the
civil liberties of all our peo
pie, not only under the 14th
and 15th Amendments, but
under the whole' Bill of
Rights,, to simple and narrow
majorities.. We. live in a time
of danger 'when panic is al
ways possible and panics can
easily produce a stampede
away from liberty.
rpHE Johnson amendment to
-- the rules, which requires
at the most 66 votes to pass
a controversial measure, is a
reasonable rule. .Legislation
could be blocked by an un
ending filibuster only if all
the Senators of 17 states par
ticipated in - it. This would
not, as some have suggested
who side with Senator Doug
las, give the South an abso
lute veto on legislation to pro
mote the civil rights of Ne
groes. In the deep South there
are only seven states in which
there has been no desegre
gation at primary or secon
dary level and they have 14
Senators. In 10 other states
of the South and the border
land there is some desegrega
tion. All of these states would
have to combine with the deep
South to impose a "veto."
Now legislation which is op
posed by all states of a whole
section of the country, includ
ing the states which are be
ginning to comply with the
new principle of desegrega
tion, is very doubtful legis
lation indeed. It promises
more trouble than anything
else. '
. Presumably the Johnson
amendment will be adopted,
as Senator Douglas himself
forecast in his appearance on
"Meet the Press" on Sunday
evening. When it is adopted,
it will not stop his long, pre
sistent, and invaluable labors
on behalf of civil rights,

Rulings Hit
It was Nixon's willingness
to rule on the current Ques
tion that dramatized Johnson's
own stand against him. The
lanky Texas Democrat, -smilingly
caustic, told the Senate
he thought the presiding Vice-
President was "giving rulings
pretty freely."
Sen. Richard B. Russell
(D-Ga.) an old hand on par
liamentary procedure and a
Johnson tutor, challenged Nix
on s rulings more bluntly. He
suggested the Vice-President
was taking on "judicial pow
ers" he lacks.
In their first show-down,
Johnson displayed his own
power as leader. He adjourn
ed the Senate out from under
Nixon and others supporting
the conviction held by the
Vice-President.

To the Editor: The Altrusa
club of Medford, a classified
service club for business and
professional women, has an
nounced that a local vocation
al grant has been set up to
aid older women in need of
employment.
This grant will be available
at once to some Jackson
county woman needing assist
ance to train or retrain her
self for earning a living after
several years' absence from
the business, professional or
industrial field. Any woman
who finds she must support
herself or family but who has
no business experience and
has never worked for a living
will also be eligible for con
sideration for this grant.
Equipment instead of training
can be given if it will aid the
applicant to become sell-supporting.
There are no special
educational q u a 1 if ications
needed for eligibility unless
required for the training
course requested.
We are very anxious to
make this offer known to as
many people as possible be
