PACE TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2. 1949 Tough Trying to Keep family on $120 Month Br HALK ICAIIIIROIT.H Th problem of living, going ta chool and rtUliif family on f 130 month or leu U the fwnn of current unrest among Oregon Tech atudenta that la coming to hrad In dissatisfaction over achool -operated living quarter at the Moun tain View ho liking project, relltion Thit morning 3 resident of the old wartime houalng project had algned a petition asking a alubla reduction In mil nr Iht removal of Norman Conner, protect mainte nance man. whom the atudenta charge u seldom available to do the i maintenance and repair work that keeps cropping up. I The petition probably will be pre- ! tented to the OTI administration : through the student council. j Btudenta claim maintenance and j repair o n the "boxcar" houses . ahould be included in their monthly ( rent, but that many times they hare had to do their own plumbing. I electrical and general repair work and pay the cost out of their own . pocari. No Help Conner, against whom the request . for a change la aimed. Is full- time employe of the school and has ! no help at Mountain View. He says j It is Impossible for him to get ' around to taking care of all the i work In all the SO houses In the! project, that he does what it most I pressing and has to let a lot of work ; slide. Wives of atudenta interviewed this morning had many complaints t o ' make about the management of the j ""N housing project and about general eonditiona existing there, and prin cipally the objection waa that the rent figure was too high and the maintenance Inadequate. ' Logical Beef A for the rent, the students' complaints are undoubtedly logical, .considering thslr income. When Mountain View was erected in late 1M3. the houses were to be tenanted by construction workers employed at the Marine Barracks. They were drawing high wartime pay, living costs were much lower then and $39 a month rental was es tablished. The tenants now for the most part re ex-CIs who. if they have to support a wife and children, get f 120 a month from Uncle 8am toward their living and school expenses. Some get as low as $60 month. Pirt time jobs after school hours contribute to the family kitty but many OTI students are finding it tough sledding to stay in school. Pawnshop Aid One girl waa reported to have had to pawn a ring when a government check was late coming. A student now at the housing project t hay. lng to pull but of school to look for work. 1 ' A nominal decrease In rent wont solve all their problems, but the student-residents of Mountain View believe It will help and believe they Income lor OTI from Mountain due on the lease from the public have it coming. According to OTI officials, all rent money taken In at Mountain View Is put back In on expenses money due on the lease from the public housing authority, water, lights, etc. and maintenance. If 45 of the 50 unit, are rented at 3 a month. - that would mean over $1750 a month income for OTI from Mountain View. The student-residenta can't tee where that amount or any large part of it la being spent at the hous ing project. Strike A no-rent strike has been called by some of the disgruntled "boxcar" tenants. They declare they will not r. ,kBU snt until inmalhln ( done to alleviate their troubles at j Mountain View. Oregon Tech can evict tenants when their rent Is five daya past due. Whether the school will go that far remains to be teen. For their IS. Mountain View resi dents get a two bedroom, combined kitchen and dining room dwelling, furnished, water, lighla and gar bage disposal service. Many of the houses are in bad shape, a situation not too surprising because they were hastily built tig years ago for "temporary'' use. Some of the furni ture la rickety and mattresses era old. The housing unit grounds are not attractive, dusty and muddy with the seasons.

In The- CilH (Continued from Page 1) - ever since, we have become the gieatest Industrial nation on earth, with the highest standards of living ever known. AREGON S situation, of course, has w been slightly different. NOBODY FORCED US INTO A COLONIAL ECONOMY. We simply fell into it because It was EASIER to take the basic crops from our farmlands and the raw lumber from our forests and ship them off to somebody else to be further processed Instead of pro cessing them ourselves Into their final form and thus building up here in Oregon the great payrolls that are Involved in FINAL PRO CESSING. That Is why pre-war Oregon was a backward Industrial state. POST WAR Oregon Is beginning 'slowly, a little at a time) to process its raw materials Into more nearly com pleted form. That la why our pay rolls are growing. But we have barely scratched the surface of our Intermediate payroll possibilities. We need to OO FARTHER In that direction. VOU RE on the right track, gov ernor. More power to you. You have hit on what Oregon need' In order to get where it wants to be.
