Medford Tribune SECTION C MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. AUGUST 29, 1963 PAGES 1 to 10 Green Pleased With Victory Of Higher Education Measure By YVONNE FRANKLIN Washington Bureau Washington (Special) -Rep. Edith Green, happy with the victory of the higher educa tion bill which she recently majieuve red through t h e House with bip artisan help, is "hope ful" the Sen ate will act this ses s 1 o n and give "a nice Christ- Frinklin mas present to our colleges and universities." . "This bill has very special significance to Oregon," said Mrs. Green in an interview. "We have heard, from every college president in Oregon regarding their expanding en rollments, their urgent needs, and the cuts made in the high er education budget by the Oregon Legislature this year." The SI. 2 bilion construc tion bill, similar to one which passed the House last year and later defeated because of religious antagonisms, again provides both grants and loans to public and private colleges. Grants to private colleges were the sticking point with the Senate conferees last year, and Senate-sponsored scholarships were not accept able to House Republicans who joined with southern Democrats to kill the bill when Mrs. Green brought it back to the House for a final vote. No Indications The higher education bill is but part of an omnibus edu cation bill on which the edu cation subcommittee of Sen ator Wayne Morse has con cluded hearings. There are no indications as to whether the committee plans to act this session. "Title II of this bill has sig nificance to those of us who feel that the graduate re search center in Portland is so important," said Mrs. Green, "not only to retain a higher percentage of our young people within the State to do their graduate work, but it is important in terms of attracting space-age indus try." "I very carefully wrote into this bill a provision that fed eral funds could be used for a cooperative graduate cen ter," she continued, "and this provision, coupled with funds that apparently are now available, should go a long way toward starting a center of academic excellence at the graduate level in Portland." Mrs. Green called attention to the present enrollment of over 31 milion students in the nation's 2100 public and pri vate colleges and universities. She said that by 1965 there will be a 46 increase and by 1970 over 90. She re peated what experts before her education committee have repeatedly testified: the col leges now face an "enroll ment crisis" and need federal help. In one letter, Oregon Chan cellor of Higher Education R. E. Lieuallen, said that the es timated enrollment by 1970 in Oregon was expected to be 100.000 students. Mrs. Green said that to meet the onrush ing wave of students, build ings need to be planned for now, because "they aren't built overnight." But she saw hope in the crisis. "This crisis also cannot be considered other than a tre mendous national asset," she said, "because the availability of this large a number of tal ented young people means that we can, if we try, pro vide the highly trained per sonnel for our space program, for our defense requirements, and for our civilian econ omy." Received Aid Much of the debate in the House centered on manpower needs for the age of technol ogy as well as the constitu tionality of aid to private col leges. In answer to questions about aid to private schools, Mrs. Green and other mem bers pointed out that over two-thirds of the colleges and universities in the United States are private, and some have received aid from the government for over 100 years. The breakdown is, out of REDS RETURN VESSELS Helsinki, Finland - IUPU -The Soviet Union Wednesday returned two Finnish trailers and a motor launch which Russian warships arrested in the Gulf of Finland Monday. The Russians contended the vessels had entered Soviet waters. 2100 colleges and universities. 1300 are private; of these, 482 are Protestant, 335 Catholic; 40 of the students attend private colleges and 60 pub lic; the 700 public colleges in clude junior colleges. Mrs. Green did not want to talk about the religious con troversy but pullled out some statistics she has used many times to show the extent to which the government has fi nancially aided private col-1 leges in the past, beginning m the days when private- churc related colleges were named ' land grant colleges and given federal aid, down to the pres ent day programs of federal grants and loans for govern ment research. The higher education bill authorizes assistance to insti tutions in financing the con struction, rehabilitation or improvement of needed aca demic facilities, ie, classrooms laboratories and libraries. The i bill authorizes money for a 3-year program so that after that time Congress may re-1 view the program. The bill covers both public and private colleges and in-, eludes undergraduate institu tions, junior colcges, technic-, al institutes, graduate schools ! and cooperative graduate cen ters. Earmarked It authorizes S230 million annually in grants for 3 years for construction of undergrad uate academic facilities. About $50 milion ol this is earmarked for junior colleges and technical institutes. It authorizes S120 million annually in loans, to be re paid within 50 years. The bill provides S25 mil lion for 1964 and $60 million for 1965 and 1966 for estab lishment or improvement of graduate schools and cooper ative graduate centers. The federal share cannot ex ceed one-third of the cost. State commissions will deter mine priorities in allocating funds, and the colleges must prove need and that the mon ey is needed because of ex panding enrollments. Excluded are gymnasiums, stadiums, any facility to be used for sectarian instruction or religious worship or school J of divinity, and any facility to be used by a school of med icine. The House passed a ; medical school construction bill this spring. Li" DANAM7AI Compare These VALUES and Save!
