Health in Our Colleges American schools and colleges are doing so many worth- while things these days that it is hard to keep track of them. In fact, it is a question if they are not entering so many fields as to seriously diminish their value as educational institutions. However, it also is true that students may learn as much of value outside the classroom as in it; that the incidental bene- fits of a college education may outlast those obtained from the curticulum. Such may well be the case with the health service instituted this year by North Dakota’s normal schools and teachers’ col- leges. For the first time in history a health fee of $1 a quarter is being charged to students and in return for the money they are being offered a supervisory and preventive service which is ex- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1987 Behind Scenes Washington Unemployment Census Creates Demo Jobs By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Aug. 26 — Job-hogs ruled congress to the last, even in such a vitel national problem as that of unemployment relief. As a sesult, taxpayers will con- tribute some $5,000,000 for an un- employment census which appears tw be little more than a device for seeing to it that Democratic con- gressmen will have a few temporary jobs to hand out around primary time next year. n Maury Maverick of Texas had a bill, which was sup- ported by Harry Hopkins and by both conservatives and liberals, It carried precious little patrontage and was planned to cost only $75,000, It called for creation of s high-grade SUGAR COATED Vice President Jack Garner and Senator: Pat Harrison were hav- ing conversation in the Demo- cratic cloakroom.

Welsh public opinion in the neighborhood resents their turbulence, wants them thrashed, is just a little afraid of them. Poor kids! Straight from a land where they have seen fathers and brothers slitting each other’s throats, mothers car- rying rifles instead of brooms, and homes and friends all smashed down together in a bloody welter of gunfire, it is no wonder they are strange and turbulent and wild. Living their childhood under a “one life, one kopeck” regime, what could they care for a few. broken windows, what could they know of the ordinary ways of orderly society? After the immediate debts of war are paid in killed, wounded, maimed men and women, and in destruction and dev- astation, comes the bill for the deferred payments—in the form of warped and scarred children growing up into men of the Middle Ages instead of men of the 20th century. 4 Dues for Republicans? The treasurer of the Republican national committee, C. B. Goodspeed, has proposed turning the Republican party into a political club with dues-paying members, as a solution to the age-old party finance problem. e His plan is simplicity itself, merely the enlistment of sus- taining members who will contribute regularly, much as they do to religious organizations or fraternal groups. Mr. Goodspeed starts with an implied premise, obviously, that sufficient persons in the country will find that the benefits accruing from such an arrangement are worth the membership dues. Heretofore political parties have always relied on the contributions of a few big donors, with quite often scandalous consequences. The fact does remain, however, that without these big donations there wouldn’t have been any money at all. Anyway, it’s a new idea, and new ideas are things no polit- ical party can scorn. * Inquisition ~ Virile males of the man’s man school should be able to read a little compassion into their, feelings toward Robert Taylor after seeing accounts of the film star’s latest trip'to New York.
