University Symposium Team Discusses Education A University of Oregon symposium team, addressing Medford Kiwanis club Wed nesday, discussed what the so lution should be to the prob lem in Oregon higher educa tion caused by increased en rollment. Miss Suzy Thompson, a former Medford resident, pro posed raising admission and ards to limit enrollment. Gary Stark opposed restricting en rollment and advocated addi tional financing to take care of the program. Dennis Taylor spoke in sup port of junior colleges. Miss Judy Sims, Medford, advo cated the deferred enrollment plan in which students not showing academic promise would not be admitted to school in the fall but their enrollment would be delayed until the winter term. 'Breaking Point' Miss Thompson pointed to a ."breaking point" in taxes, and said that it is not realis tic and is a mistake to try to educate every student who wants a college education.

Frank Ross Notes Retirement From Federal Service The retirement of Frank E. Ross, 1325 Winchester ave., a field engineer with the bu reau of reclamation, was an nounced recently. Ross had been in govern ment service for 29 years. He had been associated with the Talent project since Decem ber, 1954. Friends and associates hon ored him recently at a dinner party at the Mark Antony hotel in Ashland. He has had a varied career in positions and assignments throughout much of the Unit ed States and Europe, includ ing Iceland. He has served with mining companies, con struction firms, the United Nations and the federal gov ernment. Civil service posi tions which he has held with the government have included civil, structural, architectural and industrial engineer. First Position His first position with the bureau of reclamation was on Parker dam, Colorado river, under Olaf Laurgaard, former city engineer of Portland. His work on the Talent project has been mainly in field construction supervision concerning rehabilitation, re placement and betterment of the existing collection and distribution facilities of the Talent, Medford and Rogue River Valley Irrigation districts. Ross has had additional as signments in regard to land acquisition at Howard Prairie and Emigrant lakes and mov ing of Hill cemetery at Emi grant and the design and su pervision of construction of the major features of the Howard Prairie recreation area. Born In Area He was born on Blackell hill in 1897 where his father was gold mining. He attended Central Point schools, and is a 1921 graduate of Oregon State university, where he re ceived his bachelor of science degree. Ross d 1 d undergraduate work at the University of Washington and Navy school, and post graduae work was done with the University of Oregon extension, the Uni versity of Maryland and the Ecole de St. Ouens, Joule ville, Normandy, France. Ross plans to hunt and fish as well as build a home on the old Ross homestead on Ross lane.' Other activities which he plans Include writ ing and making himself use ful to local society. He ts president of the Rogue Valley section, Profes sional Engineers of Oregon; president of the Southern Oregon Pioneers society; pres ident of the local society of Sons of the American Revo lution and a board member of the Southern Oregon His torical society. She suggested a 2.7 high school grade point average as a standard with the prospec tive student permitted to take a battery of tests for admis sion if he has not met this standard. A 2 point average is required now. She also said that out-of-state enrollees should be limited to one-third of the incoming freshman class. Admission of all lowers the qualify of education, Miss Thompson maintained. She expressed the feeling that available facilities should be used for "deserving students" than providing mediocre edu cation to all. Miss Thompson spoke of talk of junior colleges as an "unrealistic solution in a dif ferent suit of clothes." Jun ior colleges still cost the tax payer, she said. She describ ed deferred enrollment as a middle of the road solution to STAR GAZER?? 1- 3- 6-11 18-20-55 , TAUHUS APR 21 MAY Jl -T- 9-10-56-59 56064-7) GEMINI MAY 22 JUNE 22 r 5. 7-13-2M 529-45-80-87 CANCER rtJt-Y 23 LEO ya. . aug 23 Q4!.44-48 61 i-i63-68-85-89 VIRGO 'Wff SEPr. 22 14-24-51-571 '72.76-78 -By CLAY R.

Stark, in his argument, said, "We can support higher education more today." He did not advocate any one means of financing but said one means is a sales tax. He spoke of professional people as a resource greatly needed and mentioned the role of educa tion in providing for the de fense of the nation. Taylor also opposed restrict ing enrollment. He pointed out education is needed more and more. He told of the growing demand for semi-professional skilled workers and said that iunior colleges can provide terminal vocational education. Junior colleges could be merged with high schools and thereby qualify for federal aid as secondary school, he claimed. Miss Sims stated that jun ior collegej cannot lower the cost and will not ease the load since other students are attracted. She declared also that the high grade point av erage and test are too strict a method to follow at the present time. Proposes PcMicy She proposed the policy which will be tried out next school year at University of Oregon in which enrollment of students of 2.5 GPA will be admitted automatically and others, with a 2 GPA or better in high school will be admitted but their enroll ment deferred. She said this will lessen the burden on the fall term. This is not closing the door to anyone with a 2 CPA or better, Miss Sims stated. There is a 5 9 per cent drop out of students after the fall term at University of Oregon. y -i i i (Republican) David S.

Turf Landing Field For Diamond Lake Region Is Planned Spring Weather Opens Roads in Winema Forest- Klamath Falls-The spring weather has opened up many roads and recreation areas on the Winema National forest. The Chcmult Hanger dis trict reported that most of the main roads In the north end of the forest are now dry and open to traffic. The Walker Mountain road is closed by snow and the lower end is under construction. The Miller Lake road is open only to Deer Butte, and it will be several weeks before the road in to Miller Lake camp ground is driveablc, rangers said. Main roads north of the Sprugue river, the Chilnquin Ranger district reported, are for the most part open. Travel on the district south ot tne Sprague river is hazardous because of wet and muddy roads, and is not recommended. Lake of the Woods Roads Roads around Lake of the Woods on the Klamath dis trict are now open except for the Lake of the Woods Fish Lake road. This road is muddy and impassable. The roHd along the West side of Klamath lake and the road to Sevenniile Guard Station are open. Roads leading to Ihe higher elevation areas are still closed hy snow. It is recommended that travel he limited to surfaced roads unlil the roadbeds have settled, district rangers said, as travel during wet condi linns could cause heavy dam age. In the Lake of the Woods area Rainbow Campground nd White Pine picnic area are open for public use and received moderate use last week. Aspen Point camp ground is temporarily closed while expansion of the camp ground is proceeding. Present plans call for this enlarged campground to be opened later this season. Roseburg-A turf-type land ing field to serve Diamond Lake recreation area will be developed soon, Ralph Mc- Ginnis, Salem, assistant direc tor for the Oregon state board of aeronautics, told 30 rep resentatives of agencies and organizations interested in the project at a meeting in Roscburg last week. The project will be financed from airport construction funds administered by the board. It has an annual budget of approximately $200,000 to develop such air strips, Mc Ginnis said. Five other airfield projects previously initiated have pri ority over Diamond lake, but they should be completed this year. It is possible the Dia mond Lake air strip might be developed this summer, he said. Will Seek Support Since the state board does not have sufficient funds in its current budget for a complete airport development it prob ably will seek support from various public agencies, flying groups and other organiza tions for the landing strip de velopment. One of the major problems would be earth-moving, the assistant director said. County road departments have participated in construe- i tion of other recreation air i fields built by the board, he noted. Possible Sites Noted Although no site has been determined, the most logical spot would be near the central resort area. Vondis Miller, Umpqua Na tional Forest supervisor, said there are two or three possible sites. The board will survey the area for the landing strip as soon as the winter's snows are gone, McGinnis said. Purpose will be to select, in coopera tion with the forest service, a suitable site and determine construction costs. The board will ask the for est service for a use permit for the area to be used after a site is selected, he explained. One problem will be locat ing a strip of land generally long enough and level enough to accomodate about 5,200 feet of landing area. Flyers pointed out that planes using a strip at that altitude would require a "mile-long" runway due to the air density factor. McGin nis said the field would be built to meet FA A require ments on construction, and would be designed for use by the average pilot.
