THE COMMITTEE approved a budget of $3,900,000, $500,000 less than Governor Mark Hatfield re commended and another $500,000 less than the State Board of Higher Education would like to see approved as a minimum amount. (hancellor Lieuallen told the Emerald Monday that Governor Hatfield gave a “vigorous en dorsement" to the plan for rein stating the $1,000,000, even though this will be more than he has recommended. Hatfield justified this about face on the basis of the increase in the student-teacher ratio which was made after he gave his bud get recommendations Cons e quently, “we have the full sup port of the governor,” said Lieu allen THE CHANCELLOR described the possible House vote on this is sue as “crucial for higher educa tion We've had quite a bit of favorable reaction to our side,” said Lieuallen, although it is still difficult to tell what action will be taken University President Arthur S Flemming stated Monday that “I believe that it is imperative for the House of Representatives to instruct the Ways and Means Committee to add a million dol lars for salary improvements if the University and other institu tions in the state system are to be put in a position where they can retain and continue to attract outstanding teachers for their faculties." A8UO PRESIDENT Phil Sher burne has called the move “the latest swing at higher education in the State of Oregon ” "They have begun a trend of putting a higher education be yond the means of many deserv ing students, and now the com mittee wants to comparatively re IContinued on pane 6) Two Join Race For NS A Posts Two more students have en tered the race for NS A delegate. Warren Wotton and Hank Court ney submitted petitions before the 5 p.m. deadline Monday. There are now eight candidates for the five positions. Other can didates are Mike Gannon, Pam Pashkowski, Mike Ellmaker, Jer ry Rust, Judy Scrivner and How ard Leibreich. The delegates will be selected in the double elec tions Mav 27 and 28. THE SAME ballots will be cast on two succeeding days to give students a greater opportunity to vote. The proposed constitutional re visions and the co-op representa tion petition will also appear on the ballot. Bruce McKeel, ASUO vice-pres ident. announced that he has ten tatively planned to divide the constitutional revisions into three categories. Students will cast three votes to pass or not pass the proposed changes. The votes will deal with tenure of office, the recall clause, and the enabling clause. THE TENURE portion of the ballot will deal with offices and the length of the term of election. The revision calls for the addi tion of an off campus women’s representative, for enlarging the number of senators-at-large from nine to fifteen, and holding three general elections each year. The major election, including ASUO officers, class officers and living group officers, will still be held in the spring. Class officers will not hold Senate seats after next spring’s election, if the measure is passed. Within the tenure portion of the ballot a system for re filling vacated Senate seats will also be approved or voted down. The plan calls for having vacated senate seats filled by a general election, rather than by the Sen ate itself as is now done. THE RECALL portion of the ballot states that the electorate will have the power to recall a senator by submitting a petition bearing the signatures of at least 25 per cent of the electorate eli gible to vote for the Senator in question. At present there is no recall provision in the constitu . tion. The enabling clause is neces | sary to put any constitutional (Continued on page 3) Future Said Doubtful For Recreational Area By DICK RICHARDSON Emerald Associate Editor Bill Vertrees, chairman of the ■ Student Development Fund drive,! said Monday the chances that the Koal ol $20,000 for a recreational area would be reached were “practically nil.” ASUO President Phil Sher burne will ask the Senate Thurs day to consider whether or not students who have signed over their breakage fee for a recrea tional area should be asked to leave their money in the Develop ment Fund to continue the drive next year.

Whitaker, executive chairman of the Department of English at Stanford University, will lecture on ‘Shakespeare's View of Man” at a 1 p.m. assem bly today. The lecture, which will be held in the SU ballroom, will be fol lowed at 2 p.m. by a discussion period. WHITAKER. Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar, has been associ ated with Stanford since his un dergraduate days. He was gradu ated from Stanford and received his advanced degrees there. A member of the editorial board of "The Shakespeare Quar terly,” he is the author of a num ber of books, including "Shake speare’s Use of Learning.” During World War II he served as consultant with the Southwest Field Training Program of the Indian Service and later as Super intendent of Indian Education in the United Pueblos Agency, De partment of the Interior. AFTER THE war he returned io Stanford, wheie he has been a professor since 1950. He was a visiting scholar at the Folger Li brary in 1951 and a fellow at the Henry E. Huntington Library in 1955-56 He was a writer for the Commission on Rights. Liberties, and Responsibilities of the Amer ican Indian, 1959-60. The Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar program was started in 1956 to enable more universities and colleges to have leading scholars participate in campus ac tivities. 'ients have signed over their breakage fee to the recreational area and 75 students have signed over their money to the unrestric ted development funds, said Jack Cross, assistant Student Union director This represents about SI0.000 of the S20.000 goal. Vertrees said that exact figures on the amount of money that has been obtained in the drive would be released Wednesday. Plans to continue work on the recreational area will depend on the Senate’s action Thursday, Cross said. ACCORDING to the original plan of the Student Development Fund drive, if the $20,000 is not received, the money will be re turned to the students. Vertrees said that if the goal is not received the student s mon ey will be returned immediately. He said the cards will be re turned to the students and they ran get their money back or can rechannel it to other development fund areas. The Senate will decide whether students should be asked to leave their money where it is and hold it for another recreational resort drive next year. SHERBl'RNE said that Univer sity President Arthur S. Flem ming has asked that this be brought before the Senate to as sure that the established proced ure of the drive would be fol lowed Cross said that the 975 students who have signed over their break age fees to the drive "should be some indication of the interest in the drive.” He said there are some faculty members on campus "who sub scribe to the idea of establishing a recreational area.” About 12 years ago. he said, the University had the opportunity to purchase Laurelwood golf course and some adjacent land for a recreational area but that no action was taken at that time. “There are still some faculty members who re member this.” he said. THE Pl’RPOSE of the drive is to obtain S20.000 with which to purchase a recreational resort, which will include facilities for overnight lodging, picnicking, ar chery, rifle practice and field events. The camp would be available for individual students or groups. It will be "scheduled so individu al students will almost always have access to it.” said Vertrees. Cross said the major loss will be to the students if the goal is not reached and plans for the re sort are continued. He said stu dents. by giving money for the recreational area, will naturally have control in the operation of the resort. He said students would lose some control in the resort if oth er groups donated money, since these other groups would also have some control in how the area was operated.

The meeting is set for 4 p.m. in 221 Friendly. Bailey will speak briefly about the services offered by the State Depart ment of Education and will be available to answer questions.
