Tough Trying to Keep

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

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.

"We settled Ihls thing lot spring

Therefore, when we sell led It.
we have been committed In the good

us to do what we decided to do
last spring.

"Maybe a lot of people have won- '
dered why we don t leave It up to
the American government. The bulk
of the beneficiaries under the Chest
are youth organizations, and If the
government runs these youth
groups, the time will come when
they the organlatlons will be In

as youth organizations are every
