Vol. LX1_UNIVERSITY OF OKEOON, E1JOENE. SATURDAY, MAY ft, lMt No.lft ND CHAMPIONSHIP TODAY Over locMlty cut Rutherford proposes concern expressions A letter to President O. Mere dith Welson expressing student concern over the planned cut in additional University faculty members wan proposed by Bill Rutherford at Thursday’s ASIJO Senate meeting, ACCORDINO to Rutherford, the letter would express the Sen ate’s confidence that Wilson was acting in the best interest of the University when he agreed to the reduction. HOWEVER, Rutherford did feel that a reduction in the ratio of faculty to students was a step in the wrong direction, Ruther ford felt that the president or his successor could use this expres sion of student concern should the problem arise again. J HE LETTER, which would be written by ASUO President Steve Schell, arises from the fact that 1509,000 has been set aside by the State Board of Higher Edu cation. According to Chancellor John Richards, the State Board initiat ed this action and the money will leniain unbudgeted in anticipa tion of September enrollments. THE ( I T has been attributed to the failure of state-supported schools, witii the exception of the University, to meet their ex pected enrollments. Campaign money limits scheduled Quentin Breen moved at Thurs day's Senate meeting to limit ASUO campaign expenditures as follows: 1. Each candidate for ASUO, class, and living group repre sentative shall submit to the ASUO Elections Committee an itemized report of all campaign expenses incurred by him or on his behalf. This shall be done on the Monday before the primary and on the Monday before the general election. The total ex penditures shall be reported in the Oregon Daily Emerald the Tuesday before each election. 2. Campaign expenses for all ASUO, class and living groug rep resentatives shall be limited as follows: Candidates for ASUO President ( to .'250. Candidates for ASUO Vice President to $100. Candidates for Senators at j Large, class office* and living j group representatives to $50. 3. The ASUO Elections Com- i n ittee shall determine, if neces sary the accuracy of statements ! of < ampaign expenses. Any can didate failing to comply with either of the above sections shall be disqualified by the Elections Committee. 4. The ASUO Elections Com mittee shall be appointed by the President from the Senate and shall represent the various types of living groups. The Vice-Presi dent shall serve as chairman of this committee. To provide for this cut, the number of additional faculty rembers at the various state schools had to be reduced. If this reduction had been made accord ing to the enrollment deficit at the various schools, the Univer sity would not be affected, but 18C would face severe faculty cuts. HTLSON AGREED to reduce he number of new faculty /rem c’ s at the University by 10, thus nsurlng that OSC would not be .severely curtailed. According to Rutherford, this •s a reasonably complex problem and Wilson's agreement to the reduction will he:p promote good will between the University and OSC.
