Stahl’s topic is ‘Biological Ef fects of Nuclear War" and Mar quis will speak on "Social and Economic Effects of the Fallout Shelter Program." THE MAIN area of discussion will be the question of the use fulness and practicality of fall out shelters and the effects of fallout in relation to survival techniques, such as shelters. Marquis, who came to the Uni versity in 1954, earned his M.A. and Ph D. degrees at the Univer sity of California at Los Angeles and is at present time Acting Assistant Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Acting Di rector of the Honors College.

HE POINTED to scholarship aid, noting that only one-third o* the students who apply receive scholarships. "The average schol arship at the University of Oregon is $230 a year,” he said Next Sherburne referred to stu dent loans, noting that the aver age long-term loan is $<139. “The legislature should not force stu dents to burden themselves with heavy debt. The burden of loans acts as a deterrent to students in entering a college.” He also said that there were not enough work opportunities and asked the sub-committee to bear in mind other increased costs, in cluding dormitory, books and fees. HE ALSO stressed the concept that, "the State of Oregon bene fits financially and in many other ways from an increased number of college graduates.” Rep John I). Mosser (R-Wash ington) commented on student work opportunities, and suggested more students be used as janitors because the state system can't find enough civil service person nel Sen. Ward Cook (D-Multno (Continued on page 3) Gus Hail Speech Funds Questioned In the Tuesday night meeting of the Joint Ways and Means sub-committee on higher educa tion Kep. Stafford llansell <R llermiston) asked if any of the University's student activity fees! athletic fee. Emerald, stu dent government, etc.) were used to bring Gus Ilall to the campus. llansell had harshly inter rupted a discussion concerning auxiliary student fees. C hancellor of the State Board of Higher Education, Roy E. Lieuailen answered, “None of these activity fees were used to bring Hall to the University campus.” Hansell then asked whether janitorial services were re quired to clean up when Hall left. Lieuailen replied that some one, “might have been used in sweeping out the stadium after he left." Mo Deferred Rush Pre-registration Rush Announced for Fall Fall term 1963 rushing activ ities must be completed before fall term registration week, ac cording to a decision made Tues day by the University Fresi* dent’s staff, made up of the board of deans. This ruling is a change from previous rushing time, which overlapped the term’s registra tion period and New Student Week. THE DECISION ends what has been a two-year long discussion on whether “deferred rush” should be instituted for sorority and fraternity living groups on campus. “Deferred rush” would have been conducted at desig nated periods during the academ ic year after New Student Week. The beginning dates for rush ing will be set by Panhellcnic Council and the Inter-Fraternity Council, but the times must not be in advance of Fridav, Sept 20. New Student and Orientation Week will begin at 7 30 pm. Tuesday, Sept. 24. and run through 5 p.m. Saturday. Sept. 28, a University spokesman said Tuesday night. All formal rushing activities must be concluded by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24. Journalist Cites Ways Of Subversive Groups Bv RON COWAN Associate News Editor American Nazi party leader George Lincoln Rockwell is the "most bizarre hate monger in America," journalist John Roy Carlson told a University assem bly Tuesday. Carlson described subversive groups from the Ku Klux Klan and xhe Black Muslims in Ameri ca to the Nazis and Communists who operate in some form or oth er throughout the world. ‘‘Adolf Hitler lives in Arling ton Virginia." said Carlson as he described his visit to the head quarters of American National Socialist Party. He said he was taken to a room where a large Nazi flag was displayed behind an altar, beside which pictures of Adolf Hitler and the late Senator Joseph McCarthy were displayed AN AUTHORITY on subversive undercover organizations, Carlson said his work involves "finding out what is beneath the verbiage and what is behind the mask I feel many hide their best points and try to show only what is ac ceptable.” Carlson has received the Thom as Jefferson award from the Council Against Intolerance and other awards for his work in ex posing subversive activity. His in vestigations have required him to join such groups in order to accu rately study them. "The white supremacy move ment still dominates the South,” said Carlson. He feels the Ku Klux Klan is “definitely coming back.” The other organizations vary from lynch mobs to more se date groups. An equally serious problem in America is the Black Muslims led by Mohammed Elijah, said Carl son With a following of almost 350,000 "he wants to do to the white man what has been done to the black man," commented Carl son. He cited the "typical Nazi tac tics’’ of Elijah who "preaches” to Negroes in prisons to develoo a hard core of followers who are willing to go to any means to ac complish black supremacy. Carlson described the “hate agents” he encounters as “men tally aberrated people who cannot be cured in a matter of months.” He said many of the fanatical Jeaders of subversive organiza tions have been in mental institu tions several times. "They must take their hate out against someone,” he said. Jews are considered "convenient scape goats” and "many of the so-called crackpots blame our schools for their problems.” “Russia," said Carlson, “is one of the few countries in the world where anti-Semitism is not only condoned and practiced by the people, but also practiced on the governmental level.” Carlson found a "maelstrom of subversion” in the Middle East < Continued on f'O'/e 3) Non-residents Represent Legislature s Big Problem By RON COWAN Associate News Editor Out-of-state students are the "number one question” being considered by Oregon legislators this year since the outcome of their deliberations may put a new slant on higher education in j Oregon. Non-residents comprise about 17 per cent of the total enroll-! ment in the state system of high ; er education, and almost 30 per cent of the University’s under-1 graduate registration for winter ; term, 1963. LEGISLATORS considering the higher education budget for the; biennium 1963-65 have complain-1 ed about increased funds being j requested. Many of their sug-! [ gested cutbacks have concerned limiting out-of-state students by | higher academic requirements | and other restrictions. This would have financial ad vantages for the legislature but it also raises questions relevant to the nature of the higher edu cation being offered. Vernon L. Barkhurst, director of admissions, said, “Out-of-state students contribute to the atmos phere of the University. They keep it from becoming a provin cial institution.” A PLAN recently suggested, by Rep. Stafford Hansell (D-Hermis ton) would limit out-of-state stu dents to 10 per cent of the total enrollment. “This would be a poor move,” said Barkhurst. “If we could hold the ratio down,” he said, “we would be in pretty good shape. But I personally feel it’s desirable to have a number of out-of-state students enrolled.” According to Clifford Cons tance. University registrar, al most half of the University’s non-residents come from Califor nia. 1.506 out of a total of 2.874 this term. 1.742 men and 1.132 women are non-residents. THESE STUDENTS come from over the entire United States and almost 60 foreign countries. Constance said there has been a "fairly steady increase" since 10 years ago when 19 per cent of the students were from out side Oregon. For many years they numbered only about 20 per cent with only a little change over the last three years. "The entrance require ments have been steadily rising to keep them fairly in control,” he said. Rep. Hansell referred to out (Contimtcd^on page 3) STUDENTS WHO wish to ar rive on campus before the open ing of New Student Week may stay in University dormitories for a fee in addition to regular term housing costs. Two years ago a committee of academic deans requested that then-acting President William Jones institute a deferred rush ing period. The request was made after the committee had done its own investigation to deter mine the best time for Greek groups to select new members. JONES SAID at that time that the deferred rushing practice would begin in fall, 1902. However, when Arthur Flem ming came to the University as its new president, he requested that a survey of student opinion on rush be conducted by profes sional sociologists at the Univer sity. He used this information with other collected opinions to pre sent to the staff, which made the decision for the pre-registration rushing time. The pre-registration rush was one of three alternatives ^he presidents staff considered in making its decisioirTuesday. The other two alternatives were de ferred rush and the 1962 rush ing system.
