He said Vie success of the Democratic party depends on the specific stands on specific issues that 0 the Democratic nominee takes during the tampaign." Morse assailed the 86th Congress for not having "the fortitude to offer a concrete program reversing the policy of naticaial retrenchment, which has been the watch word of the Eisenhower ad ministration." .;.,. , La Grande Man 9th Hunting Fatality 3 lit Grande -(UPB- Oregon accorded fts ninth hunting - death by gunshot Sunday -. when James Schilling, 80 .

Crater High School By LaVONNE LaFEVER The seniors of Crater High had representatives from 10 different independent colleges with them Thursday, Oct. 15. Colleges being represented were Linfield, Lewis and Clark, Marylhurst, Pacific Lutheran, Pacific university, Keed, Schools of Nursing, Uni versity of Portland, Whit worth and Willamette. The seniors divided them selves into groups and held small conferences with the representatives of the college ui meir interest. All repre sentatives urged seniors to visit the campuses. It was stat ed that one should never be gin any college without first being a guest on campus and learning about its routine. A representative from Lewis and Clark pointed out that at a smaller college, students re ceive more personal attention, classes aren't nearly as large and class discussions are more prevalent. Class size at Lewis and Clark averages 25 to 30 students per class, whereas some college classes average up to 1,000. Arthur Straus, principal of Crater High, attended a con ference for secondary princi pals in faalem last Monday and luesday. The theme of the conference was Educational Guidance and the Curriculum." The conference consisted of 260 secondary school principals taking part in panel discus sions, discourses, and opinion aires. When asked his own opinion on the conference, Straus stated, "Personally, it was one of the better confer ences I've attended for a long time." The California tests of men tal maturity to test I.Q. were given to all freshmen of Cra ter High school Monday through Wednesday. Outcome of the freshmen elections last Wednesday were: president, Tom Davis; vice president, Jan Pfaff; sec retary, Sharon Shellabareer: treasurer, JoAnn Trautman; yell queen, Joliena Green; yell squad, Bill Schwab, Kar en Holley, Jenny Thompson, and Wade Tucker.

I think Susan is nuts. Susan . He's a country yokel. - Harvey T. I am 28 and married with two youngsters. My only problem is a brat of a kid sister. Susan is 23 but she acts like 12. I have introduced her to several of my friends and my wife's friends all real nice guys. She always man ages to find a lot of faults in them. Recently she started going out with this fellow Burt. He happens to be tops in my books and Susan even seemed to like him for a while. Suddenly they broke off. Neither of the would talk about it. Later Burt admitted to me that he, had asked Susan to marry him. He said she had turned him down in such a nasty way that he was deeply hurt. He said she acted as though he had insulated her by proposing. Frankly, I think Susan is nuts. Susan T. I'm not going to be pressured by anybody in to doing anything I don't want. My brother thinks he knows what's right for me, but he doesn't know mel He's a real country yokel at heart. This fellow Burt is a lot like my brother. His idea of life is to live in our home community forever. His high est ambition is to have two cars and be able to go camp ing once a year. My brother and the rest of my family may think I'm nuts, but I have other ambi tions. I want to travel all over the world and meet lots of wonderful people. I won't be tied down to a family until I achieve my ambitions. Burt laughs at me when he hears me talk like that, but he and the others will soon laugh out of the other side of their mouths. The Council: We believe that Burt and the others in Susan's family are "wrong to mock or oppose' her ambi tions. There is nothing wrong with the ambitions in them selves. The only thing we see wrong in .the picture Susan presents is that she makes no mention of what' she is doing to achieve her ambi tions. As far as we can see, Su san's energy and initiative are devoted to beating off the young men she- sees as pos sible destroyers of her dreams. This appears to be the reason for her foolish and unwarranted anger against the man who proposed to her. We suspect that she found his proposal rather tempting ' I - ARRIVING IN MONTREAL on Norwegian freighter Sunpolyna on which he journeyed from Norway as sea man to avoid publicity, Kristian Rasmussen, 67, father of newlywed Marie Anne Rockefeller, says goodbye to Capt Olav Rusvik (left). Rasmussen will visit Rockefellers. and feared that the answer might be a "yes" if she didn't turn against him with all her force.. When dreams and ambi tions are rooted in strong, ur gent desires, most of us man age to achive them not al ways on schedule and in their entirety, but in time and at least in part. The dreams that aren't achieved are the ones that are built on a false found ation. These are the unrealis tic dreams that have little to do with the individual's po tentialities or his willingess to do something to achive them. They are erected as a means of escape from un pleasant facts or as a retali ation against others for not providing fulfillment for the dreamer. Susan should recognize that her ambitions do not give her a special dispensation from ordinary human courtesy. Her brother, the young men who have been interested in her and all other "country yo kels" have a right to pursue their way of life. The insults Susan heaps on them are real ly intended for the part of herself she insists upon de-spising-the part that is ready to settle for a slightly less glamorous life. We think she ought to make a decision as to the kind of life she wants and then do something about achieving it.
