Urban Renewal Plan Gets Final Approval The final step toward starting the East Campus Urban Renewal project was taken last week by the Eugene city council, acting as the Eugene Urban Renewal Agency T1IE AGENCY voted approval of the second na'-t of th<- fin d project report, the last submis sion the city has to make to th federal government to qualify for a loan and grant contract. The urban renewal project will provide the University with a 17 acre building site for dormitories, and possibly a health service building According to J Orville Lind strom. University business man ager, the University is hopeful that the grant will be approved in time for land acquisition to start by July 1. THE URBAN' Renewal Agency is planning to have all the re maining private property in the 17-acre area acquired, the land cleared, streets and other utilities installed and the land resold to the University for campus expan sion by September. 1964 Money for the project will come from the Federal government and the University, with the Univer sity contributing $100,000. The council gave their approval to the project in January, after consid erable controversy with property owners. Documents to be submitted in the final report include the re development plan approved by the city and State Board of High er Education, a relocation pro gram for the 35 families and 34 individuals still living in the area, and a pledge by the state board that it will purchase the remain ing property after it has been ac quired and cleared bv the agenev. THE UNIVERSITY has already purchased some $430,000 of land Morse Says Tel star Bill Blots Administration Record By StE WILLIAMS Emerald SUIT Writer "The Kenendy administration has blotted its record for all of history," said Sen Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)t speaking of the Tclstar bill that passed Congress last year Morse spoke Saturday morn ing to a meeting of the Honors College Colloquium classes. Morse pointed out that he was on the minority side throughout the discussions on Tclstar The filibuster on the Tclstar bill, in which Morse was a participant, was to gain time to get informa tion to the public through what he termed the "news blackout.” "There was not a single accur ate account of the : pace debates in the Senate last year," he said. According to Morse, the press made people believe that the mi nority wanted the government to own and operate the whole space communications program The Senator implied in his remarks that this was not the case. MORSE MAINTAINED that the administration bill was steam rollered through the Senate, both by the actions of powerful lob bies and by what he termed a “double-edged parliamentary guil lotine”: the use of cloture and the motion to lay on the table. A total of 26 Morse motions to amend various clauses in the bill were laid on the table as fast as he made them, the Senator said, not to mention 17 amendment motions made by other senators. Morse said that the reason for this was that the majority could not face the Morse substitute plan Morse’s proposed plan is that the government should lease con tracts to any company that has something to offer “No company should be denied participation in the space eom Ersted Award Nominations Due Student nominations for the Ersted Award presented an nually to a relatively young faculty member for inspiring teaching are due Wednesday in the office of Student Affairs. munications program." stated Morse. As it stands now. he said, the program is in the hands of a cartel which violates all the mon opoly control laws in the United States. Morse said that the government interest had to be maintained in the communications program be cause of the possible effects on foreign policy. Morse stressed that the people at-large should realize that vote trading is one of the great evils in the Senate and that this was involved in the Telstar bill. Recalling Jefferson's discussion of the subject of legislative free dom. Morse emphasized, "you are never going to maintain a gov ernment by law in this country unless you maintain the proced ural checks on mere men who ad minister them." If we relinquish enough of these checks, Morse continued, it will result in loss of freedom. ON THE subject of space spend ing. Morse commented that he thinks the United States is spend ing too much on defense and (Continued on page 3) within the 17-acre area east of the campus. This will be credited toward the local agency's share of the project costs. The University’s total addition al costs are estimated at $89,173 which includes the $48,000 ap praised price the University will pay for the remaining unused land in the area. The city of Eugene will not have to pay anything in property taxes for the project. f EDERAL FUNDS will amount to an estimated $524,502 which will cover the cost of acquiring the remaining private properties along with the planning and de velopment costs. The 17-acre site covers 416 blocks, bounded by Franklin Blvd . Emerald and Agate Streets. According to Lindstrom, the Uni versity will improve the sewers, streets and street lighting. He also said the University will come to the council for per mission to vacate several streets and alleys in the area and would provide two parking spaces for every 10 residents of dormitories in the area. Discipline Code Change Needed Says Flemming Rv NOMI BOREXSTEIN Emerald Exchange Editor In his speech before the an nual business meeting of the Mothers' Club Saturday, Presi dent Flemming emrmasized the revision of the present discipline code. Flemming said. "It is import ant for a university community to review periodically its objec tives in the area of student dis cipline." AFTER REVIEWING the var ious procedures through which the recommendations of the fac ulty-student discipline committee have passed, Flemming expressed the reasons why he felt the Code should be revised. "We must make sure that the programs are consistent with the objectives of the University.” (Continual on face 6) WINNERS in the AH Campus Sing mixed group division were Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Tau Omega.
