PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Study May Foster More Realistic Attitude • A federal survey -shows that some 40 federal agencies spend about $2 billion yearly on education programs. A Washington reporter for the Christian Science Monitor, Josephine Ripley, said in a recent Column that this fact so shocked legislators that most of the - edOcation nOw pending in the House are being held back while ;a study is conducted to see how much overlapping is in volved in these projects. Representative Edith Green, chairman of ai House Subcommittee on higher education, said thatmore money fs being spent on•education and research by Mei" various agencies than by the Department of Health. Education and Welfare. ' - ; This expected study of educational expenditures by 'government agencies should reveal to many Congressmen *hat many educators and 'forward-looking coi-porAtions ;have known for some time: that educational training and I • research . st i mulate a more efficient and prodUctive opera ., The educational expeditures by federal agencies merely reflect the growing importance of research did ed ucational training in many and varied fields. . These agencies have apparently found that thesekau cational expenditures in their area result in a more pro ductive long range operatjon. That th.is should come u a shock to many Washington !ogislators merely points up the. lag that often exists be tween the need for legislation to keep up with advances of science and society and the realization of this need by Con gressmen. We hope„ that Congressmen, after overcoming 'their Initial "uneducaled" shock, will begin to take a morelreal - istic view - of the expanding importance of research and • educational training on all levels.

A good illustration of this would be the one which appeared in the paper last week of John -- Witmer reading a magazine in the Ritenour Health Center after he learned he was,elected president pro temport of the USG Congress. That picture, which would' normally require less than five minutes to take, took almost two hours. Here is how it hap pened.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 19621' by john beitiuge Early in the ev ening , the city editor gave me the Assignment to get a picture of the new president pro tempore of the Congress. I arranged with our USG reporter to set up a plc ture after the election at about 8 p.m. About that time' I arrived at .the HUB Meeting room.; The election ;w: process. Thy porter info: me that mer, one of two candidi was not tF The vote taken and mer won el That was the firs many coi cations. I _ a pieture_of the BEAUCE complete Congress with the idea that if I couldn't find Witmer I could submit it. My next- step was to find Witmer. I left the HUB and went over to the infirmary. I asked the nurse at the'idesk if he had been admitted. She would not tell me until I told her why . L wanted to know. I explained the situation and said that I wanted to get a picture -of him in the, hospital. Her first reaction was that• it was against the rules and • visiting hours were from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and I should come back the -next day. I persisted so she consented to call , a supervisor. The super- . visor said she did not want to make a :ruling. and would check with other authorities and then call back. A few min,- utes later she . called back. and. said the answer was no. asked the nurse whoin I could call to seek permission but she' said the .answer had been given and I should. come back the next day if I wanted to talk to anybody. . • -II was nearing 9 as I walked back to the Collegian office through The falling snow. I diA cusped the situation with the city editor. He suggested that I call Dr. Edgar Krug, assistant director of the health center. Dr. Krug said that he would not sanc tion any picture unless Witmer would put his clothes on and come down to thi lounge. I agreed and at 9:IS started back to the infirmary. I asked if I could get a shot of Witmer checking in, but the nurse said no. Witmer sug gested a picture of - him walk ing in the front door. She also denied that. ' She said that if I didn't take the picture according to the health center regulations, couldn't take it at all. • She said no hospita i li allows pictures above -the t floor , except in - the case of ,babies. I disputed this fact and she said I'd better hurry up and take the picture. . , The only thing that was left was to* shoot Witmer reading a magazine. The nurse 'said I couldn't have anything in` the background which would in dicate that ft was taken in the health center. - - It was after 9:30 before . I .was finally able to get my pic ture, almost two hours after I had first left the office on the assignment Of_ course, not all the pic tures are that cififficult to take. but the next time you see a ,fairly simple . picture in tbe pa r, .remember it might hairs q kik longer to get than a com plex one.
