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.

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.

This is not to Hay that the

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

charged in a responsible man
ner. I am not sure it was in this

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. They now are the
same.
The information for the edi
torial came from a Report of
the Faculty Committee on In
ter-Collegiate Athletics Policy
(AD-Hoo) of Feb. 23, 1060, from
the Athletics Department Poli
cies revised in 1050-60, and
from a report made by the 1960

Several members of the fac

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.
