(Special to the Em erald)—The third annual Pacific Northwest College congress went into the final general assembly ses sions yesterday after a series of bitter committee sessions and a complete absence of social life. The general assembly will vote on the resolutions brought forth by the committees. The committee sessions were marred by close irreconcilable con servative-liberal split on major is sues. A vote of six to five was re corded in favor of the Little As sembly of the United Nations which would exclude Russia from UN membership. Warren Miller, delegate from the University, led the minority attack against the majority resolution concerning the Little Assembly. Dr. Paul S. Dull, University assist ant professor of history and politi cal science, moderated the Little Assembly committee. The committee discussing the Marshall plan ended in a dead-lock with five votes cast for the plan, five against, and four abstentions. Delegates see the possibility that the final plenary session of the con gress may reverse the committee recommendations. Bob Allen, University delegate, has been serving on the “Freedom of the Press” committee and re ports “much talk, little action.” Professor Olav Paus-Grunt, chief of the educational liasion depart ment of public information of UN, spoke to the Wednesday night ses sion of the congress in favor of the United Nations and of UNESCO. iVe Thursday night session heard Charles L. Wheeler, executive vice president of Pope and Talbot, Inc., and vice-chairman of committee on international relations for the NAM. He spoke in favor of the Marshall plan and of the present American capitalistic system. Donovan M. Richardson, chief editorial writer of the Christian Science Monitor, spoke to the as sembly last night on “The Respon sibility of the Press in World Af fairs.” Other committees have also been meeting this week to discuss UNESCO and the enforcement of UN decisions. The resolutions which will be brought back to the campus for student vote and dis cussion will be limited to between five and ten points this year. Council Recommends All-Student Committee To Control Discipline A proposal that student discipline problems rest in the hands of an all-student disciplinary committee will he forwarded to the faculty senate by the executive council of the ASUO, the council voted Thurs day night. The all-student committee would replace the present faculty-stu dent committee, and would contain seven students chosen by the council upon petition. Committee members would be required to maintain a 2.75 cumulative GPA, and would be allowed to petition, only upon the recommendation of advisers. Ultimate control of student discipline would continue to be a faculty responsibility under the proposal, since the faculty senate could dissolve the committee, and since an avenue of appeal to the faculty is left open. Vote of the executive council was unanimous. Members saw the proposed committee as a “step toward real student government," and as a “laboratory experiment in citizenship responsibility." The proposal will be referred to the faculty group for "comment, and consideration," at this time, and not for final approval or disap proval. Text of tire executive council’s recommendation appears on page 2. Additional details of executive council proceedings appear on page 6. Dushane Leaves Oregon Campus Donald DuShane will leave to day for Lawrence college. The new director of student per sonnel services for the Univer sity has been on the campus one week. During his brief stay, he made a study of the duties of his new office and conferred with various faculty leaders and student groups. He will return to the campus around June 1.
