The Mill City Enterprise -— VOI’?.« ----- Sd*sp(\ \J'>T‘vV’ —, i_, U ot R 23 Up -«iu Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt ♦ Is it hot enough to suit you this Monday, June 1? We’ve been complaining about the cold and rain for some weeks now, so maybe we should ac cept this bright sunshine and not complain a bit. The upper Canyon was fill ed with people over the Me morial Day weekend. We’ve heard of no major wrecks, nor disturbances so far. Just to show you how many people were on the Highway Sunday afternoon, the wife and I were coming heme from Stay ton in the late afternoon. She started counting the cars a short time after we got back on the high way east of Stayton. From the time we left that point until we turned off at Mill City we met 427 cars, trucks, campers, and boats. We think that this was just ab:ut a record. Mon day forenoon the highway still carried above normal traf fic. Who can blame city folks for wanting to get out into the fresh air of the mountains? We now have the Primary election behind us, and already political prognosticators are telling what they think about the results. One thing I am sure about is that the scrap between Governor Tom McCall and Bob Straub will be quite a thing. Funny part of it is that both men have a lot cf nearly the same ideas. Straub, for instance, recently said that he feels we should have a clos er screen of both professors and students in our colleges. By the way, that is what Vice President Agnew wants. And McCall, is also leani ig this way. That is just about the only thing I have heard Straub say that I really go along with. We certainly do need strong er administrators at the heads of our colleges. We don’t need these "juvenile” profs who have spent their entire lives with their noses in books. Many of them have no concep tion of what it is like making a living on the outside of their own ivory towers. When s:me do get out, they go sour and immediately want to change the whole world. They should work on the outside fo* a few years, keep their mourns shut and learn how to listen to the working people. Then they would be much better equip- ped to handle situations that arise in their college class rooms. Any professor, or teach er who talks about student strikes, or stirs up students in our institutions of higher learning, should be immediate ly removed from his position on the faculty and banned from campuses until he grows up. W’e do not need this type of person teaching the future leaders 'f our country. Vt e have many fine teachers and professors, and admimstarters, hut we also have some gutless ones wb<> should find other means <f earning a living. We could star.d some weeding now. I fir or.e do not like to have any cart of my tax dollar spent on'colleges where there is so much talk of strike, rioting, and burning of OUR property.
