after the editor refused to run
an editorial protesting Miss
Osburn's firing. In addition
some 100 students marched on
the administration offices to
deliver petitions seeking elim
ination of the personality rat

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. "

SQC Foundation Is
Described at CofC
Lunch in Ashland
Ashland -The. 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

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.

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.
