What Greater Challenge?
; Yesterday we commented on the loss to Ore
gon of three of its outstanding educational admin
trators Dr. John R. Richards, Dr. 0. Meredith
Wilson and Dr. A. L. Strand.
Today let us review some of the accomplish
ments which have been achieved in Oregon high
er education in relatively recent years accom
plishments for which these three have in large
part been responsible, accomplishments in the
pursuit of excellence in education.
In the past eight years:
Student enrollment has risen from 12,945 to
25,200. ; ;
: State appropriations of money for higher ed
ucation have risen 135 per cent.
. Other sources of income have increased 180
per cent. '
T'HE physcial plant of the state system of high-
er education has been increased by the invest
ment of more than $71,000,000 a little less than
half from tax funds, a little more than half from
non-tax sources. " -m
Academic salaries have been increased by 50
per cent. , . ,
Portland State college was established, and
this year has an enrollment of nearly 5,000.
The scope of the system has been broadened
by inclusion of a number of institutions.
. Technical teaching tools, including television,
have been importantly developed.
: - The extension service, providing adult educa
tion, has been expanded.
A NEW teaching hospital was opened at Ore-
"gon s outstanding medical school one of the
finest in the. nation. ; s
Oregon has actively participated in the crea
tion and work of the Western Interstate Com-
mission for Higher Education, providing for an
exchange of students.
A tremendous new emphasis on research has
broadened and deepened
sources of the system at many of its institutions;
top-flight scholars, teachers and researchers have
been attracted here, and they, in turn, have at
tracted brilliant younger
top of their profession.
THERE has been, in
amount of progress
Oregon.
The 1961 Oregon legislature, no matter what
else one may think of it, continued this trend with
appropriations which came fairly close to the
ambitions of most educators, and which provided
a budget they certainly can live with, and most

is not a one-time thing; it is a never-ending pro

and has been making progress ever since, some

Nx
It is our understanding that Sen. Wavne
Morse has recommended that the General Serv
ices Administration reconsider the location of
the proposed new federal office building here,
and, instead of the 10th Street site, use one ad
jacent to the west side
He is on sound ground in doing so, and will
have the backing of the city planning commis
sion, the city council, the Medford Chamber of
Commerce, and a lot of individual citizens.
The "civic center" idea, proposed for this
area, may be a subject for argument. This can be
considered as the time comes for a serious consid
eration for a new city hall and a new state office
building.
But as of now the benefits of the park site for
the federal building far outweigh those of 10th
Street, based on convenience, traffic flow, and
potential usefulness to the largest number of peo-ple.-E.A.

Louse Poison
To the Editor: After read
ing the item concerning fluor
idation of- the city water in
Corvallis, Ore., I am inclined
to disbelieve the whole state
ment for this reason, that
sodium fluoride is as danger
ous as arsenic and when tak-'
en into the b o d y it never
leaves the body by natural
process of elimination ana
will be' found in the bones
years after you have knocked
on the gates of heaven, as
your bones have an affinity
for these poisons and absorb
them.
Sodium fluoride does not
prevent tooth decay. If it did
the manufactor of this louse
poison would be advertising
it in all papers and these ad
vocates of fluoride would not
have to do it for them.
And just why , any city
should spend the taxpayers'
money to put this poison in
the water when the water
never reaches the children
and very few, of the grown
people, and certainly does not
help your, toilet, wasn water,
bath or for the many uses that
water is used for. 1
I know what causes teeth
to decay but I do not have a
shingle to hang out. If I did
I would tell the people and
help them to overcome this
affliction. It's a disease and
can be cured. But not with
fluoride. If the advocates of
this poison have children with
decayed teeth, why not give
them an empty beer bottle
and send them to the drug
store and have it filled. It
might cost two cents. 1

"W o r 1 d Government or

hear. "World Government to

hear. But we have examples
of the kind of peace resulting
from men associating with in

years humanity looked for so

oppression, cruelty, injustice.
Then came a new star'.. The
United States of America with

people the opportunity, the
freedom that their nature de

Censor Or Not?
To the Editor: To censor or
not to censor, that is the ques
tion. Your editorial dated
Sunday, April 30, 1961, raised
some very pertinent points re
garding President Kennedy's
plea to the press to assume
more responsibility in the re
lease of information to the
public. To me, his request
smacked a little more as a
plea for very generous report
age and treatment, with the
promise that if the adminis
tration did err, the mistakes
would be acknowledged and
made public.
With the oath of secrecy
practiced by all, from . the
water-boy on up, how and
when are these mistakes to be
aired?
How about the multitudi
nous daily negotiations, deci
sions and disposal of affairs
that affect every citizen's
welfare and personal future?
As Prof. Rourke writes in
"How Much Should the Gov
ernment Tell?", Saturday Re
view, May 13, 1961, "(He) . . .
might also have indicated the
willingness of the government
itself to engage in essential
soul-searching about Its poli
cies in the arena of public in
formation and opinion." 1
I am deeply disturbed over
the extreme . likelihood and
attendant danger of a "brain
wash" Job.
A constantly favorable
image before the public In all
media, with the everpresent
"secret stamp" on all things
judged unfavorable or harm
ful to that image constitutes
'brainwashing' with all its
ugly implications.
Add to this the People Ma
chine (Harpers Jan. '61 p 63)
to evaluate the public opinion
and response to the image
projected and to suggest de
sirable changes, then the last
vestige of government of the
people, by the people has
gone down the drain.
- To quote Mr.. Rourke again,
"Today ... it is widely be
lieved that government se
crecy has now reached the
point where it so seriously
constricts the availability of
information about public af
fairs as to threaten the vital
ity of democracy itself, or at
least the opportunity for In
formed discussion that is the
essence of free government".
If "the price of freedom Is
eternal vigilance", then to
day, as never before, America
needs a vigorous, enlightened,
ever vigilant, but totally ob
jective press. The alternative
is the frightening possibility
of, one day, a Secretary of In
formation to disseminate the
bits the public Is to know.

Just Reward I

was shedding tears over some
news that a report that an old
horse named Charley had been
burned to death in a fire, and
I could see his mate, a young
dapple grey, working amongst
a lot of his slave companions
along a hillside. Charley,
who later became a "flea"

i credible
witness. He is
assistant Dem
ocratic Senate
leader and
should have some facts on the
Cuban invasion. . j
Humphrey seems to have
let a basic fact loose on the
air waves in a recent taped
radio interview. He fingered
the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff
as the basically responsible
parties for what happened to
the Cuban invasion. He said
the Joint Chiefs had a more
powerful role in the invasion
decision than did Allen W.
Dulles and the Central In
telligence Agenoy (CIA) or
any other agency.
That is a new slant on the
invasion post morten. Hum
phrey went further. He said
the CIA did a fairly good job.
That is, indeed, news. Dulles
was the public's whipping boy
for Cuba in , the first days
after the invasion calamity.
The word seemed to be that
DuUes would have to go.
President Kennedy did what
he could to shield Dulles and
other subordinates from the
public's indignation. Kennedy
said he was responsible for
what had happened; he alone.
This was a courageous and
gracious gesture by the young
President but It was not easily
was a good horse, never balk
ed, and I felt like preaching
his funeral, like my wife's
uncle told me a story once of
a little boy that had buried
his pet dog, and was caught
preaching his funeral, and his
benediction was that, 'old'
Rover was a good 'Dod', '
And that put me in mind
that an incident happened in
Los Angeles not too long ago,
where a Negro working man
found $240,000 in the street
that a truck had lost on the
way to the bank. Instead of
keeping mum about it, he re
turned it to the bank. He was
rewarded with $10,000. In
stead of being lauded for his
honesty, he was derided and
abused, causing him and his
family humilitatlon and an
guish through a flood of mail
denouncing him for his al
leged stupldness. Hcwover,
there were some letters that
approved of his action, and
only a few that praised him,
according to information I re
ceived through the papers.
This is a regretable situ
ation. Now my opinion might
not amount to much, but it
seems to me that this man
Isn't sufficiently rewarded
under the circumstances. It
seems to me that half of that
total would of been more like
It.
And let me make another
suggestion. I think if some of
these high powered preachers
or supporters of God and re
ligion might work on that
bank yet, and induce them to
make a larger restitution to
Mr. Johnson and his family,
and give the rest to charity, it
would not only be a good In'
vestment for the bank, but a
very good advertisement, even
If they would donate all- the
balance to charity. ',

Some of these decisions had
to be based on . intelligence
reports and the interpreta
tions put upon them. Other
decisions, perhaps the most
important, were stricUy mili
tary in nature. These were
tactical decisions. The tactics
or immediate methods to be
used in landing on the Cuban
beach had to be military
decisions. What Humphrey
said is a reminder that any
U.S. President would seek
such military advice from the
U.S. chiefs. The Secretary of
National Defense would not
be competent to give military
advice. It would be against
established practice for a
President to Seek military ad
vice from any but his senior
officers.

DEFINITION OF THE SOUL
A friend- of mine, who
prides himself on being a
hard-headed materialist, re
cently told me
that he gets
innoyed with
ny .occasional
references to
,'he soul." ,
"Since I do
not believe in
iod or in any
so-called 'spir

ties," he said.
Harris
"I'd like you to define for me
what you mean by the 'soul'
without mentioning God or go
ing Into religious matters that
nobody can prove one way or
the other."
I think it can be done so
as to satisfy even my old
fashioned materialistic friend.
The English word "soul" cor
responds .to the Greek word
"psyche," , which means the
inner self of a person. That
each of us has an inner self
can be demonstrated without
any reference to supernatural
matters.

The brilliant French essay
ist, Alain, in his book "Defini
tions," gave what I believe is
the best description of what
people in all centuries and
cultures-religious or pagan
have meant by the soul. I
should like to quote two cen
tral paragraphs of his essay,
to show how closely "lack of
soul" corresponds to what we
would call "neurosis" In mod
