Eliminate Paper Files Senate Approves Plagiarism Plan By PHIL COGHWELL Emerald N>ho Editor I Ik- ASUO Senate, at a j -pedal Saturday meeting, ap proved a resolution designed J to curtail plagiarism of term papers at the University. I lie resolution, introduced ! hy I’ill \ ertrees, chairman of the academics and cultural committee, provided that the Senate "enlist the co-operation of all living organizations and individuals concerning the elim ination of term paper files and i the prevention of their recurrence I lor the purposes of plagiarism." THK RESOLUTION also pro vided that living organizations inform the Academics and Cul tural Committee of their progress in the matter before Feb. 15, and i that the Senate request the faculty and administration to take action in regard to paper files in existence after Feb. 15. The publication of a pamphlet informing the students of rules concerning and defining cheat ing of all forms was also ap proved. There was considerable discus sion on the resolution especially concerning a section which was finally deleted from the final pro posal. THIS DELETED section would have encouraged instructors to require the submission by stu dents of notecards and data sheets which demonstrate clearly thc exact citation for footnotes in order that accuracy and au thenticity might be readily en sured.” This was deleted following dis cussion by several senators, in cluding Scott Nobles, the faculty 1 epresentative to the Senate. Nobles commented ”I ve had the loeiing you have been treading near dangerous ground in telling the faculty just what to do.” DENNIS LYNCH said he won dered "how far we can go into the instructor’s classroom,” and Vertrees mentioned that “we , aren't telling them to do it, but I we are suggesting that they do it.” It was also pointed out the IFC Presidents had already voted i in favor of the abolishment of term paper files. The Senate also approved the formation of an international af fairs committee which would acquaint the Senate and the stu dent body with matters dealing with national and international affairs. THK COMMITTEE would have two functions to act as a liason ; between the Senate and various campus groups interested in in ternational affairs, and to report to the Senate when committee members feel there is a matter which should come up concerning international problems. ASUO President Dan Williams ' commented that the committee will be an "excellent substitution for United States National Stu dents Association which the Uni versity has not joined. THE SENATE also tabled a proposal by Ron Buel that the group go on record as favoring joining an athletic conference.

Wo Student Funds Demos Nix Stadium Fees By EVERETTE DENNIS Opposition to the use of student fees for the financ ing of the proposed new ath letic stadium was voiced Sat urday at the Lane County Democratic Convention. The convention passed two resolutions introduced b y Thomas Mongar, University graduate student and a dele gate to the convention. MONGAR SAID that the reso lution asked for discussion by all responsible representative bodies including student and faculty of abolishing the student athletic fee. In a second resolution the Lane County Democratic party went on record opposing the use or in crease of student fees for building a new athletic stadium. Mongar stated that "the res olution was an effective antidote to Harris' pitch to the business community for support.” HE WAS referring to a speech that Athletic Director Leo Har ris made before the Eugene Real ty Board last week. "I hope this action will stim ulate the machinery to get a de cision on these matters this year and stop the rising costs of high er education, Mongar said. DISCUSSING the resolution to i abolish the $6.50 student athletic fee he said: "We don’t want any unneces sary contributions to the rising | cost of education. The athletic department has a $400,000 surplus j ow. I can see no reason for the I lee.” The graduate student stated that his only objective in get ting the resolution passed is to lower the per capita cost of high ♦ ♦ V Humor Sidelights Democrats Confab A humorous sidelight followed heated, lengthy debate on a gov ernment p lank at Saturday's Lane County Democratic Conven tion.

IT STATED: “To further instill patriotism in the hearts of free enterprise capitalistic Americans, we demand that our currency be colored red, white and blue. By doing so, we can better con trol those who are successful in evasion of their proper taxes by more closely accounting for own ership of paper money." Before the convention voiced a unanimous no I'O's Tom Mon gar suggested: "Let’s call it the funny bill.” er education to the student. A number of University fac ulty members present at the con vention expressed apprehension about the resolutions. MOXGAR said that he felt that the faculty members present were apprehensive about the res olution. because they felt that the problem should be discussed at the University level and not by the Democratc party. Bower Aly, professor of speech and a delegate to the conven tion, declined to comment when queried about the faculty mem ber’s position regarding the res olutions at the meeting. EDMUND CYKL.ER, professor of music and a delegate, said, "I wasn’t apprehensive about the resolutions. I questioned wheth er this action was appropriate for the convention. “I favored the resolution in the manner passed,’’ he said. A NUMBER of University stu dents were present at the con vention as delegates as well as those serving political science in ternships. Among student delegates sup porting the proposal were Alden Lind, Gerald Tibbits. Bill William I son. and John McDonald.
