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.
