New OSC Name To Be Third in 93-Y-ar History Salom-IUPI) - When Oregon State College becomes Oregon State University, probably in July, it will be the third change of name for the 93-year-old institution. The school was establii.ied by legislative act on Oct. 27, 1868, as "The Agricultural College of the State of Ore gon." Informally, that cumber some name soon was changed by popular usage to Oregon Agricultural College or Ore gon State Agricultural Col lege, and in the mid-1980s common usage dropped the word "agricultural" altogeth er. Changed in 1953 The name was not officially changed to Oregon State Col lege, however, until 1953. At a bill-signing ceremony today lo make the college a university, Dr. A. L. Strand, president of the institution, said the changes of name re flected the growth and ex pansion of the school.

The U.S. Catholic hierarchy has said it will fight to have par ochial schools included. Says Issure Clear The President told his news conference last week that parochial schools could not be included in the $5.6 billion program because "it is pro hibited by the Constitution and the Supreme Court has made that very clear." But McCormack said there was no constitutional bar to the federal government "mak ing long-term loans at reason able rates of interest for the construction or the renovation or the repair of private schools. "I would clearly and def initely say that the provision of that kind is justified and I would support it," McCor mack said. Supports President Kennedy's stand was sup ported Sunday by Chairman Adam Clayton Powell (D N.Y.), of the House Labor and Education committee which will handle the bill. Powell, a minister of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, said such legislation also would make money available to southern school districts which have closed down pub lic schools and are trying to operate private systems. Sen. Harrison A. Williams Jr. (D-N.J.), forecast that the school measure would touch off one of the hottest fights of the sesson. But he said he believed it would get through the Senate. Heller testified, reading 56-page statement laced with charts and tables, that the principal prospects for early expansion of demand lie in a continued upward trend in government purchases and in increased consumer spending aided by government pro grams. He said that the "prospects of reversal of the recession" in the first two quarters of this year depend on modest Increases in demand other than inventory shifts. According to Heller, "a quickening of the pace of re covery following a reversal of the inventory-cycle mechan ism does not appear likely un til after mid-year." The statement he read was that of the full council, whose other members were Kermit Gordon and James Tobin. On the state of the econ omy Heller had this to say: "In spite of great inherent strength, the American econ omy today Is beset not only with a recession of nearly 10 months duration, but with persistent slack in production and employment, a slowdown in our rate of growth, and pressure on our international balance of payments." Heller stressed that rever sal of the recession is "only the beginning, not the end, of the task of restoring momen tum to the American economy." oooooo o o PtQQly wiggly: ESTABLISHED 1896 ( I GREEN ISTAMPS, o o i BIS OPEN EVERY DAY UNTIL 9 P.M.
