Capital Rent High Hodges RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)-Gov. Lu ther H. Hodges has glanced at personal considerations regarding his appointment as U.S. secretary of commerce and has made these observations: , 1. It will mean a financial sac rifice. 2. Apartments are expensive in the nation's capital. The governor told his news con ference Thursday the prospect of a financial sacrifice does not dis turb him. He said he would not have sought the job, "But you just don't turn it down when you know that your country needs the job done and the president-elect asks you to do it." Hodges said jokingly, however, rent on a Washington apartment suitable for the position of com merce secretary costs "almost ex actly what we will have left after taxes." The Commerce Depart ment post pays $25,000 a year.

GE1SS Director of Information It probably would not be true to say nothing newsworthy hap pened on the Oregon Tech cam pus last week, but it is true that final exams were more on the minds of both faculty and stu dents than news letting. A little of the mood of both staff and students may be gleaned from a couple of articles retrieved from the school paper, The Miler. The first excerpt is an editorial by a student and the second was writ ten to the students by this writer. EDITORIAL Time is flying fast and our first term of "60" will soon be over. This, in itself, is reason to be happy; along with this however, the joys of the Christmas season will be with us. For some it will mean the first trip home this year to see family and friends. There will be many parties to attend and just "get- togethers." Many of us left home in Sep tember "just-a-kid" but when we return borne for the holidays, let's show the new maturity we have gained as college students. Skip the "kid-stuff" and be have so that your actions will bring honor and not discredit to our school. Drive carefully so that we may see you next term. . Merry Christmas from The Miler staff. THE OTI GRAVEYARD By the Public Relations Man Who Lives on the Campus We are developing a public re lations program at Oregon Tech. Some of you are returning home for the first long vacation since you've been away to college. I can remember some typical re marks "college life has sure put a polish on Suzie, hasn't it? gee, did you see Johnny; boy, what college has done for him." In spite of what we do or how important we think we are in car rying on public relations it is dwarfed by what you. do. You are the ambassadors of Oregon Tech. Nothing speaks so loudly for a school as its students, its gradu ates and its alumni. In reminiscing about the past, the early history of OTI, I think of other student bodies of earlier days. I want you to be sure to understand that sometimes mem ories play tricks on us so I wouldn't want to vouch for all that I will probably remember. We have never before had such long Indian Summer as we have had this year.

It soon dawned on me that this was the old OTI graveyard that I had heard about but had never been able to lo cate. The brush and dead grass almost covered the weathered and rotted wooden head stones. Only in one small spot was there a grave covered with grass, yet green and pretty, surrounded by stately shrubs with leaves of gold and red and copper tinge. I walked in and as I looked at the words written in the rotted wood headboards, certain memo ries came back to me. The first epitaph I read said, "He Was Turned Smooth in 46 Seconds." It seems a long time ago that so many of the students on the campus .wore their hats sideways. Actually, their heads were wider than they were long it is a situation called 'thick between the ears." Any way, it was one of those students. He just couldn't seem to get on to the idea of being careful in the shop. He got caught in a lathe the instructors got to him and got the lathe shut off in 46 seconds but he was already turned smooth. I stepped over to where there were thirteen rocks in a little row with one boulder. I turned over a molded wooden marker lying face down on the ground and could make out the writing 13 football players and the coach. It struck me very forcibly the difference between our present coaches and our conference championship team this year who have received so much commendation for their gentlemanly actions in the schools and cities where they have per formed this year, and this team of long ago. As I get the story, because I wasn't here at the time, this group of players was always crowding into the line at the cafeteria they never at tended classes; they were disliked by all the students; and Inci dentally, all they got from the student body at games were Just "boos." -They raised so much Cain at other schools that they weren't invited back.

He tried to pass on a curve and the bus went over the edge and killed them all. Those who were buried in the OTI graveyard were those whose mothers didn't want to bother to have them shipped home. Speaking of driving, the only thing th.'it hasn't improved at OTI is the driving on the hill. There are still several drivers who should be wearing their hats side wayslike the fellow in the white Ford who almost wrecked three cars in passing another down by the guard rail curve. Mentioning the guard rail curve reminds me of another headstone. Incidentally, there used to be a Suard rail on the first curve after you start down the hill. One epi- lapn on a squatty little grave said "An L'ntliinkuiii Driver. He made the guard rail curve at 75 if he'd been halfway smart he'd still bo alive." Right next to this grave, only at slightly higher level, was the one green spot that I mentioned. The grave had two mounds and the grass was green and smooth. rhe shrubs that decorated the edges added a delicate touch. It almost looked like this grave was being meticulously cared for. al though I know that no other hu man being has frequented t h o place in a lot of years. This was the only headmurker made of stone and on it was neatlv en graved:- . . This Young Couple Had Their Lives Ahead; Because of the 'unthinking driv er,' Now They re Dead."

Now it s always good to say something nice whenever one can especially in an epitaph. "Well done" is a nice remark. I remem ber, however, that this particular girl wasn't nice. She wasn't cour teous; she wasn't a good student; she wasn't a lady. She was elect ed queen by a group of students who wore their hats sideways. To make a long story short, she insisted on having the biggest float in the parade and also insisted on sitting in the highest place on the float. In the center of town the float went under a low-hanging electric wire and she was electro cuted. Sho was really cooked and that was why they said, "WclllV Done." I must stop now.
