planning to have a motion made
in the House today to return the
appropriations bill to the Ways
and Means Committee which
made the cut.
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

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

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.

ALTHOUGH SPRINGTIME suggests rejuvenation, this battered
tret on the old campus brings back memories of the Columbus
Day storm last fail.
Shakespeare Lecture Set Today
Virgil K. 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.
