Letters to the Editor (Continued from pat/e 2) occasions. Finally, on Nov. 14, 1961, a ten-page document de scribing the rules wfilch gov ern athletic* a! the University wan circulated to the faculty. The covering letter included the following .statement: ‘'.Sug gestions from faculty members relating to athletic policy will be welcomed and given careful consideration.” YOU STATE further that the committee has taken no action on the proposed stadium. I do not know precisely what you mean by action. The commit tee has discussed the stadium issue at great length; further more, it has been assured by the president that questions re lating to the stadium will be discussed fully before final ac tion is taken, and every seg ment of the university commu nity will have a chance to par ticipate fully in discussing this Important issue. YOU MAKE the flat state ment that eligibility require mcnts in the form of UPA min imurns have gone down. Thia ia false. They are the same an before for varsity participation, and we have added a require ment for freshman participation which did not previously exist. In its report to the faculty the Committee on Intercollegi ate Athletics stated that in its opinion the rules under which vp operate seem to compare favorably with those in use at most major educational institu tions, whether members of con ferences or independents. It went on to say that if the Uni versity should join a confer ence. the rides of that confer ence would automatically serve as the core of the code for the University. Pending such de velopments, the committee stat ed that it believes that exist ing regulations provide a rea sonably satisfactory framework within which the University should operate in the immediate future. If I did not believe this New SU Board Faces Challenge... (Continued from page 2) arc to continue to adequately meet the need* which lie ahead, the Board must now give thought and guidance to this growth so that ita course will b'- steady and constant rather than scattered and sporadic. N'KKI) roll recreation facili ties and programs will grow larger each year in the dormi tory area, at the married stu dent housing projects, and off campus in addition to the many always present needs on cam pus. As the dormitory system con tinues to expand eastward, stu dents will be taken further and furthei away from the Union. Facilities and programs should be established within the dor mitory complex to provide for the student needs. The logical agency to provide adequate and professional guidance is the Student Union. At the present time, there is a growing need to provide facili ties in the new Westmoreland housing project for married students. A multi-purpose hall should be built and operated through the Student Union. Both of the above-mentioned programs will involVe a thor ough examination of the philos ophy and theory of the Union as a "unifying force" at the University. This discussion should determine the Union's position with regard to decen tralization of its programs. Two years ago the Millrace Development program was ini listed by the Union Board. This Spring a kick-off drive will be started to enlist students to sign over their general depos its for development of recrea tional facilities in the Millrace area. The Board should estab lish a steering committee to guide the activities of this de velopment for future years and to continue the campaign for funds. AS THE campus grows. there will be .growing demands for facilities off the campus for recreational purposes. A pilot study should be made look ing into the possibility of es tablishing facilities in the Cas cades with possible ski and dor mitory facilities which could be used for the new academic re treat and other student groups, and during the summer it could be used for conferences. Also this study could include the pos sible establishment of facilities on the coast. This spring the Union Board saw a need for a new water ski program and initiated a water ski tournament to be held in late May. Undoubtedly, this is Just an indication of what may be in the future demands. To meet these needs, consideration should be given to site develop ment at a nearby lake; possibly either Dexter or Fern Ridge. Boating, sailing, water skiing, scuba diving, and picnic facili ties might possibly be included. These are some of the many challenges which the future of fers the Union Board.

SHAVE THAT'S Ml mse S25 statement I certainly would not accept the responsibility for en forcing the regulations This is not to Hay that the rulcH should not be changed. I am sure that the committee would welcome from the Emer ald, jiiBt as it does from mem hern of the faculty, specific sug geHtionH for change. Finally, I must say that I am a little disappointed that in pre paring an editorial on such an important issue you did not bother to check either with me or with the chairman of the Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics. Writing editorials for the student newspaper of a gn at university is a responsible as signment, which should be dis charged in a responsible man ner. I am not sure it was in this case. K. T. KUickson, Professor of Physics, Faculty Athletic Repre sentative. editor's Note: In the FOC the OPA minimum requirements were 1.75 at the beginning of the sophomore year, 1.90 at the beginning of the junior year, and 2.0 at the beginning of the senior year.

(Continued from page 1) tempt to show that. writh the ad ded eleven weeks in the summer, the University should have funds allotcd to them for operation of this session as for the other three sessions. Sherburne said that during leg islature, four people will go to Salem and work with the legisla tive committees. He said that the effectiveness of the lobbying will depend on the participation of the other schools. He plans to work personally with legislators on committees which consider funds for the state sys tem of higher education. GOFDSCHMIDT said that his main concern was to “effectively schedule appointments, have a united backing of all the state schools in Oregon, and to analyze the needs” of the state system. He said that effective lobbying can maintain and increase the prestige of the University and that high prestige, in turn, can attract the best potential faculty members.
