Legislators...

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

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.
