Dr. Stevenson Compiles Special Report on Scholarship Awards Ashland Scholarship aids, both academic and athletic, to designated Southern Oregon college students- have been compiled in a special report by Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson, col lege president, to Dr. Earl M. Pallett, secretary of the state board of education. "There are three points to be brought out in connection with this report," Dr. Steven son commented. "For one, the sum received for such scholar ship aids is largely concerned with tuition and fees. We need additional monies for the able students who are forced to drop out of college each year for lack of sufficient loan funds for board, room, and other - emergency contingen cies." "A second point to be con sidered. Dr. Stevenson con tinued, "is that we rank among the lowert of all the state in- tiutions in the receipt of both academic and athletic funds for scholarships." Third Observation "My third observation," he pointed out, "is that there is a wide disparity between aca demic and athletic scholar ships. We can by no means be accused of over - emphasizing athletics at the expense of scholarship at Southern Ore gon college." . "As previously pointed out," he concluded, "we need and will welcome contributions in either category. Scholastic standards are observed, of course, for every student re ceiving a scholarship at our college regardless of the type or amount involved." State scholarships for 1958 59 totaled $21,558 with 408 awarded. Of this number, 15 were for foreign students and 27 for Hawaiian and Alaskan students. It is anticipated that this fund will be increased in 1959-60 to $23,518, it was stated. Local scholarship awards that have been established on a yearly basis include: Ash land Elks 10 at $100 each; Ore gon Congress of the Parent- Teachers association nine at $186 each; Ashland Rotary one at $186; Delta Kappa Gamma, Epsilon Chapter one at $186; Ashland Soroptimist club one at $186; Mills Award one at High School Band Concert Scheduled The Medford High school band will present its annual spring concert in the high school auditorium Tuesday, April 14, starting at 8 p.m, Featured this year will be the "senior symphony band, a. recently organized group composed chiefly of seniors and advanced students from the junior and sophomore classes, according to I. R. Mi- rick, director of instrumental music for Medford public schools. The concert band numbers 105 pieces, and the senior symphony band has 66 mem bers, he said. The senior sym phony band will be featured during the first portion of the program. "' Other features of the pro gram will include a swing trumpet trio, "Trumpets Wild," composed of Ted Law son, Bob Sheldon and Dick Hildesbrand; selections from the "Music Man," the second movement of the Nordic sym phony by Howard Hanson, a saxophone quartet which re ceived top rating at the recent music contest, Ji-ric Leidzen s First Swedish Rhapsody," Frescobaldi's "Toccata," the finale of Kallinikov's Sym phony No. 1 in G minor and others. $100; Bernard Daly Education al Funda seven at $600; Amal- ia Britt four at $250; a total of 34 students given help from this source The combined funds from these sources this year, includ ing $23 in excess of the $1,000 presented by the Ashland Elks, came to $8,555 with an anticipated $9,132 available for the following year. Additional awards of a less predictable nature such as those received from Standard Oil, the Amalia and Emil Britt loan fund, Oregon high schools, Parent Teachers asso ciations, alumni groups, Dad's and Mother's clubs, totaled $3,621.46 from 29 such sources. Relying upon an equal sum from these sources during the coming year, the combined monies available for academic scholarships will ap proximate $36,271, it was reported. During the current year, athletic scholarships totaled $2,632. Of this sum, the South ern Oregon College Booster's club contributed 12 scholar ships at $186: the Ashland Elks club two at $100; and in dividuals two at $100. For the coming year, the SOC Boosters plan to raise their contribution .from 15 to 18 scholarships, the report stated, thus bringing the an ticipated sum available for such scholarships to $3,190 for the next year. 70 Acres Annexed to Ashland by Council Ashland - The city council last week annexed 10 acres of land owned by Our Lady of the Mountain Catholic church in the southwest area of the city.

Bartlett SP 2-2460 Welfare of People One of Major Concerns of Religious Culture (Editor's note: This is anoth er in a series of articles by Rita Holmes, Oregon state director of Senior Citizens of America, in which she dis cusses the problems of senior citizens. It was prepared as part of the national observ ance of Senior Citizen Week.) By RITA M. HOLMES The welfare of people in all walks of life has been one of the major concerns of the religious communities of our culture since their very beginning. Within these com munities older people have long been treated with re spect and cared for with love Today, in keeping with the spirit of compassion and ser vice which is at the heart of the religious life, an increas ing number of churches and synagogues are turning their attention to the well being of their senior citizens. Leaders in the churches and synagogues are well aware that there has been a change in the age structure of the population of the United States. The increased propor tion of older people and les sening of younger ones, will affect practical application of their program. Surplus of Youth With the aging of our popu lation, there has not been a proportionate increase in fa cilities, opportunities, and rightful privileges of the old Expanding industry has drawn young people to the cities and to smaller living quarters; a surplus of young er workers has brought about the unemployment of older people long before their ability to work has lessened. In many other, ways society has not kept pace with its new population structure. Because the basic faith of churches and synagogues in cludes concern for the worth of human beings, churches and synagogues have always exercised a special responsi bility for guiding and pro tecting every .individual, they concern themselves with per sons in every age group. Churches and synagogues offer a view of life which will enable many, if not most persons as they approach th later years, to continue as normal human beings, meet ing the stress and strain of modern every day life; successfully. Aging is a part of the life process. No group in the life Phoenix High to Produce Play Phoenix - "Bull in a China Shop," a three - act mystery comedy by C. B.

Aging cannot be separ ated from the whole process of living. In the field of the aging, the churches and synagogues have a distinctive contribu tion to make through pastoral care. Treparations for aging begins with birth. Churches and synagogues should de liberately include instruction on aging in their educational practices, educating youth and middle-aged persons upon the subject of aging. The churches and syna gogues can play a significant part in changing the popular attitude toward older people - they should lead the com munity to see all men as children of God as many of the personal problems of the aging arise from the com munity's failure to provide properly for its older citizens in the area of health, housing, education, recreation and worth while things to do. Loss of Roles 09e of the most tragic as pects of old age for many people is the loss of useful roles, resulting in the lack of a sense of being needed and wanted, even the feeling that the very purpose of their ex istence has vanished. Loneli ness, withdrawal, and frus tration steadily increase un der such circumstances and I deterioration of both mind and body is the inevitable outcome. Churches and synagogues with their traditional empha sis on fellowship, mutual con cern, group activity, and al truistic outreach, have an un matched opportunity and ob ligation to help in the eradi cation of these twin enemies of the aged. No other agency in the community, including the family, is in a position to do a more effective job of role-restoring of role-rebuild ing in the isolated and de feated among the elderly. Another step in the involve ment of older citizens could be the actual organizational approach, with all the older people sharing in the plan ning. Included in this pro gram might well be a com mittee on the aging to work along side other committees. Give them an opportunity to be active contributing mem bers of the community, a feel ing of belonging and the dig nity of being members of mankind. Geared to Youth Ecnomically, socially, p s y chologically and ecclesiastic ally our country continues to be "geared to youth." In churches, families, factories and communities older matur ity has largely been pushed aside and its assets disregard ed. To further complicate mat ters youth has customarily promoted many prejudices and fallacious notions as re gards the "proper role" for older people, and, strangely enough, elders have acted as if it were true. The churches and synagogues with the help of other community forces, could lead the way in break ing down this attitude. There should not be an ele vation of one age or group in the life of the church and community, but a dynamic balance of these human re sources, plus the use and ex perience for the good of all. Every congregation might well embrace the slogan "No shelves in this church - tor any age." Electrical Wiring & Repair Industrial Commercial Residential Call Jack Henbest ROGUE ELEC.
