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

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.
