In addition some 100 students marched on the administration offices to deliver petitions seeking elim ination of the personality rat ing sheets. Emerald Editor Jim Boyd of Medford defended his re fusal to print the editorial by saying there was a lack of in formation regarding the rat ing system and that until stu dents know more about it "I don't think we should take a negative editorial point of view." Miss Osburn claimed neith er students nor housemothers were qualified to rate stu dents. Dr. William C. Jones, acting university president, said the administration had no feelings of vindictlveness toward Miss Osburn, nor did the school ever attempt to curb student opinion.

Southern Oregon College foundation and the National Defense Edu cation act were described at the Tuesday luncheon of the Ashland Chamber of Com merce in the Mark Antony hotel. Guest speakers were Don Lewis, SOC business man ager, and Dr. Alvin Fellers, di rector of student affairs. . In describing the founda tion, Lewis said sources of higher education funds are tax dollars and student fees. "Colleges were , set up with the purpose of providing in expensive education for stu dents of the state," he ob served. However, he pointed out that in the last 20 years education costs have increased 232 per cent ' "The rising costs have threatened to close the college door for many students," Lewis said. "At this point the SOC foundation comes In." The foundation is a non profit organization governed by 33 trustees from southern Oregon and northern Cali fornia, according to Lewis. Its fundamental purpose is to provide a communication avenue between area people and the college, he said. One means of doing this is through gifts and grants, Lewis com mented. ' . "Through gifts and grants we can give relief to taxpay ers and students," he said. Loan funds and scholarships are possible means of accom plishing this. By donating through the foundation, peo ple are assured money will be used as they had originally In tended, Lewis said. Prior to describing the foundation, Lewis said SOC ing publicly and start a cru sade? The Issue is closed." Miss Osburn was a counsel or in the Schaffer wing of Walton Hall to 43 freshman girls. It's Worth a deadlocked repeatedly on a state building budget. Co-chairman Dan Thiel (D- Astoria) predicted the com- would spend nearly 32 mil lion in the coming year. Three fourths of 'this amount will be for wages, he said. New construction will cost $300,000 and the re mainder will be, used for gen eral operating expenses. SOC has spent $4 million In the last 10 years for provid ing adequate facilities, Lewis remarked. He estimated be tween 38 and $10 will be need ed to adequately meet de mands of the next 10 years. Dr. Fellers said 378 million has been placed in circulation In the last two years as a re sult of the National Defense Education act. He said 1,357 colleges and universities have participated in the program. - SOC received Its first allot ment in the spring of 1959. At the end of the first year, $24, 145 had been distributed, in loans to SOC students. The total for two years is $48,000, Dr. Fellers said. Loans have been granted to 118 students. Slim Chance Seen For Milk Price Bill Salem - (UPD - A House com mittee approved a milk price control bill Tuesday night but Chairman Don McKinnis (D Summerville) said chances of its passage are poor. . The measure, okayed unani mously by the. ' Food and Dairying committee, would let the State Agriculture de partment set milk prices for producers. Nearly 200 dairymen ex pressed general support for the measure, drafted in the last few days in the face of a 19 per cent drop in milk prices. Some dairymen, how ever, would like changes. Opposition also is expected from opponents of any milk control. Trip to Shop La mittee won't complete its work before the middle of next week, pushing adjourn ment at least several days into May. - - Tiffs came over a $5.6 mil lion construction program for state hospitals and institu tions, cut about $1 million from Gov. Mark Hatfield's request. Sen. Melvin Goode (R-Alr bany) accused half the power ful finance committee of using delaying tactics and stalling on purpose in an ef fort to muster support for in dividual proposals or more cuts. ' Rep. Stafford Hansell (R Hermiston) declared he resent- Students don't have to pay back the loans until they have graduated and held jobs for one year. However, if a stu dent drops out of school, the loan must be paid back im mediately, Dr. Fellers explain ed. "At the start of this term we were helping 70 students with loans valued at $8,150," he said. The criteria for granting loans is based on the student showing a definite need for the loan and showing the po tential to complete college, according to Dr. Fellers. The greatest risk is with freshmen, he said. The average SOC loan is for $200. The maximum anyone can borrow In one year is $1,000, Dr. Fellers explained. The bill would let dairymen elect to band together in a distributors' pool, where the prices would be the same for all producers supplying one distributor. In different dis tributors' pools, prices could differ. v Producers also could choose a broader market-area pool, where prices would be the same throughout the market area. Darling...
