Legislators... (Continued from page 1) one of several bills that have been proposed over the years.” A special bill on hazing is un necessary, Fadeley said. "Most hazing acts are covered by pres ent laws. For example, excessive hazing cases would be prosecuted as assault and battery, depending on the degree of consent under coercion. There are legal and social means to stop hazing with out a special law, he said. The possible impact of hazing incidents on legislative alloca tions drew comment from both Fadeley and Stadler. Fadeley said, "As far as influencing the legislattive appropriations t o higher education, it would depend on the nature of investigations and ”1 don’t know that there will be an investigation.” Other fac tors listed by Fadeley were the attitude of the committee, the facts established, and the attitude j of the University community. Stadler said, “I doubt if it would influence the thinking of the Stale Senate, but could have j an effect in case of a bond rev-' enue referendum to finance high er education.” Stadler emphasized "that this mental and physical degradation should be replaced with construc tive work.” He cited as an exam ple his own fraternity at Indiana University, which built sidewalks during initiation weeks. been with The Rockefeller Insti tute, except for the period 1042 44 when he was George I'abyan Professor of Comparative Patholo gy and Professor of Tropical Medicine at the Harvard Univer sity Medical School. The Condon Lectures will be repeated in Corvallis January 20 and 31, and in Portland February 5 and 7 Rate Increase... (Continued from pat/e I) years. There is not a substantial difference in quality.” Apparent ly, as a result of President Flem ming’s action, the increase will not take place this year "I see no reason why the pro posal won’t be passed,” said Barnhart. lie recalled that the last increase was made a few years ago when board costs were raised by $2 a month. THK GENERAL proposal first became public last Thursday when a group of students at Ore gon State I Diversity demonstrat ed in protest. Besides the increased room and board charges at OSU, weekly meals would be cut from 21 to 20 under the plan and more milk would be served. This plan is already in effect here. Barnhart said it is not known how OSl students learned of the proposal. Physics Prof Gets Astronomy Grant A University professor will es tablish an observatory somewhere high in the Cascades during the coming summer to conduct the first research observations in as tronomy ever attempted in Ore gon. K. (». Ebbighauscn, professor of physics, has received a $5,500 grant from the National Science f oundation to set up the summer research post. The University’s 15-inch tele scope, which normally sits atop the Science Building, has been re moved arid is undergoing renova tion in preparation for the proj ect. Although astronomical observa tions have been made in Oregon for many years, this is the first time that fundamental research in astronomy has been attempted. Kbbighausen’s chief research objective will be studying the brightness of stars. He is particu larly interested in binary stars, those pairs of stars that are eclipsed as they circle each other and therefore display variations in brightness. In addition to the primary re search project, F.bbighausen hopes to demonstrate that astronomical research is feasible in Oregon, particularly at high altitudes dur ing the summer months when the air is dear and visibility good, thus paving the way for a more extensive astronomical research program in the state. Bonds May Be Used To Build Classrooms 1 university classrooms may be financed from tuition fees on a i self-liquidating basis similar to present dormitory construction program if a new legislative pro posal is approved. Senator Alfred H. Corbett, D Portland, and Rep. John Mosser, U-Washington County, announced this weekend that they are study ing the classroom plan and may use it. as a basis for legislation. The proposal provides for the ' construction of new buildings as soon as they are approved by the legislature, without the expense of a state wide bond issue vote, the legislators said in a joint ' statement. It is this kind of a system, backed by lodging fees and funds from tuition payments, which it used to finance the cost and oper ating expenses of dormitories. They said that the present bud get sets a "double standard" in which the governor has approved . a S25.977.000 request for self-li quidating student projects but has cut requests for instructional faci lities by 50 per cent. "This means classrooms may not be constructed, although hous ing facilities are available,’’ they stated. Mosser and Corbett explained that the plan could be made to work without raising tuition fees by making appropriations from the general fund that would be repaid by the bonds. They also said that the proposal would avoid the expense of a state wide elec tion. Oregon presently has some $48 million in unused bonding capa city that could be used for the buildings. They estimated that a special allocation of $16 to $17 a term per student from tuition fees would take care of the interest and retirement cost of the bonds, along with providing building maintenance.
