route the regime of Prime Minis
ter Fidel Castro. "Sen. (Harry)
Goidwater. luckily bereft of any
responsibility in our government,
recommends war,” Porter told the
audience. He cited other legisla
tors who hail made similar state
ments and then concluded "This
(war) would prove that we are the
ruthless, imperialistic capitalists
which much of Latin America is
led us to believe we are."
Communication Re-established
"Intelligent diplomacy would
include reestablishing communi
cations," he stated "Unlike Chi
na Castro is willing to re-estab
lish communications

competition but yet we have
avoided it in Cuba There are no
tourists, no students, no Ameri

Cuban Policy Proposals
Porter then stated nine propos
als which he said the government
should include in Cuban policy
The United States should:
Proposal Sets
Fund Raising as
Senate Program
The ASUO standing committee
for government relations plans to
help support a fund raising drive
winter term to offset the budget
losses incurred since the defeat of
the Oct. 15 tax referral.
The ASUO Senate will consider
the appointment of Mike Salve
son as committee chairman in
Thursday’s meeting. The commit
tee will operate under the ASUO
president's office within the aus
pices of the Senate.
Part of ASUO Program
Phil Sherburne, ASUO presi
dent, said the committee is part
of the permanent ASUO program
given Senate approval last spring
for lobbying efforts. One hundred
dollars was set aside from the
ASUO budget for the program.
According to Sherburne, the
committee has been established
because of the increasing effect
of governmental action on the
quality and quantity of education.
Bond Measure Support
The committee will also sup
port the bond measure in the
spring, and will consider lobby
ing in the special legislature ses
sion if such action is considered
advantageous.
Any student wishing to parti
cipate in committee programs or
help in any other way the cause
of higher education should con

Porter says has no vital strategic
service, into a school for far

Consistent Policy Advocated
Porter said the US should
adopt a consistent policy in
dialing with Latin American gov
ernments. He favors tiie policy
that we should ‘‘shake hands with
the dictatorships but save the
warm embraces for democratic
governments.”

Emerald News Editor
V tolations of the University’s Student Conduct Code al
legedly occurred during the Alpha Tau Omega house dance
Nov. 2.
According to a University spokesman, the incident was
reported by “more than one source” and a number of thp
fraternity members were involved. The exact nature of the
charges was not released.
The case is being investigated by the Faculty-Student
Conduct Committee.
“The reports concerning the alleged violations have been
made to Francis Nickerson, associate dean of students, who
is charged under the code with coordinating the activities
of officials, committees, student groups and tribunals re
sponsible for student conduct,” said the spokesman
Nickerson said Tuesday, ‘ We (the conduct committee) are con

Appraisals Vary
On Side Building
I he future of the Willcox build
ing, which houses the College Side
Inn, was again at stake during
the monthly Co-op meeting Mon
day night. Jerry Utti was acting
chairman at the meeting, in the
absence of President Dick Im
walle.
The meeting was concerned
with reports from the Co-op
board, and Vic Sabin, former Uni
versity student who advocates
restoration of the Side. Reports
involved estimates of money re
quired to restore the Willcox
building Sabin claimed that the
$25,000 estimate by Mr Kennedy,
the Co-op’s engineer, was too
high, and he and his engineer.
Mr Eugene Schaudt. said that
the building could be restored in
stead for $14,300.
Schaudt Appraisal High
Schaudt appraised the West
gate portion and balcony of the
Side higher than did Kennedy,
and appraised only $5500 for the
north wall, which adjoins the
book store, contrasting to Ken
nedy’s estimate of $15,000.
A Co-op committee investigat
ing possible uses of the Willcox
building recently toured the build
ing to become more familiar with
its needs. Sabin served as guide
for the committee, which is undcr
the chairmanship of Karen Kull
berg.
Summarizing the work of her
committee, Miss Kullberg stated
she thought they had "accomplish
ed some work” in the investiga
tion.
Sabin stated that it would be
“foolish of the community to al
low the building to be destroyed.”
He said he felt that his engin
eer’s estimate was accurate, be
cause Schaudt has considered all
structural assets.
Sabin hopes for a final decision
on the future of the building by
winter term. He said that if the
board decided to destroy the
building, a petition would prob
ably be circulated for a special
election to reconsider the decis
ion. ^
In other business, Clark Stev
ens reported on his committee’s
actions to consider how near
C o-op structures should be to liv
ing areas and classrooms. His
committee has also studied the
availability of land that could be
used for a new Co-op building.
The next item of business con
cerned investigation of the struc
ture of the Co-op.
Chairman Jerry Utti reported
that Gerald Henson, manager of
the Co-op. led his committee on a
tour of the Co op to demonstrate
office procedure, etc. Future plans
for Utti's committee include a
meeting with the Co-op’s attor
ney to discuss the organization’s
legal structure. The committee
also plans to meet with members
of Oregon State University’s Co
op. to familiarize itself with their
procedures.
A lighter note was struck with
the question of selling Plavboy
magazine at the Co-op. The maga
zine has not been sold there re
cently because of criticism from
University Mothers' and Dads’
clubs. However, after deciding
that the magazine’s literary value
had increased recently, a motion
was passed to place the magazine
in the Co-op again.
