Letters To the Editor (Continued from l'u<w 2) there are no laxatives to be had and I need them. “If you can yet unsweetened cocoa it woidd come in handy as it stretches longer and re quires no eggs. The poor hens, since they don’t eat, refuse to lay. We had been rationed to five eggs a month per person, but since the second week in September only children under seven and over (MJ will get them. ' The black market is something awful. Did you know sugar and salt are being rationed? 1 have just learned all packages have been confiscated, when we need them most. May God forgive them! and forgive me my evil thoughts.’’ Only the translation is mine. Eugenio Batista, 1824 Agate St. * * * Defends OFCL Confab Emerald Editor: I have noted with interest and with some concern your ed itorial of Nov 12 concerning the Oregon Federation of Col lege Leaders. Having met with most of the Oregon delegation during the conference and with the other represented schools as well, I was not aware of any ’purge’’ on your ideas, by the other dele gates. In reading said editorial I was somewhat overwhelmed by the “persecution complex” which seems to be prevalent AdvrrliMmcnt Prof to Quit Professor B. Hard today told your reporter that be will quit giving twelve page tests. He went on to say he has developed a hum dinger of a sixteen-page midterm, essay of course. However, Mr. Hard said he has not and will not quit eating Dairy Queen* as they keep him in touch with the academic world. If you want to be on top of the academic world get a DQ today.

Williamson Optometrist Standard OptuJ 820 Willamette DI 4-5371 f feel quite* certain that no great wrong has been dolt your delegation, other than the de feat of several well intended but painfully abstract and gen oral resolutions. Thus, I fail to see how you can determine that “the narrow conservative atmos phere of the conference would not permit discussions of this kind. Attempts by the Univer sity's delegation to introduce controversial resolutions primar ily for the purpose of stimulat ing debate were met by hostil ity.” May I suggest that at the next gathering of our mutual delegations, you bring your forensics squad and we in turn shall bring ours, thus if the idea of the convention is to "stimulate debate” just for the sake of debating, we shall be properly equipped. If, however, you wish to pur sue a plan of discussion design ed to accomplish, or improve an end we shall be and I am confident that the other dele gations shall be more than ready to discuss and evaluate with you, any suitable program or ideas. Your editorial states, quite correctly that “there will never be intelligent discussion unless the delegations prepare mate- { rial in advance of the session.”j As you are well aware the resolution proposed by the Ore gon State delegation provides for the setting up, well in ad vance of the conferences through monthly meetings of the executive committee the discussion topics and general topics and program of the con-1 venticn. The monthly newsletter will undoubtedly improve comm uni- i cations prior to the conference, I thas enabling all institutions to be aware of various national and international problems in which by your self proclamation “we are far more advanced.” I urge the University to adopt an optimistic attitude towards the OFC'L conference. The ma-' jor outcome of the last confer ence was a resolution designed simply to improve, update, and provide a valid purpose for OFCL. Now, when achievement of the goal is at hand, is not the time to begin a “one man exodus" from the Federation. The University delegation can, and I am sure will, play their part in effecting a change for the better in our Federation.

Gen. 1 Robert Thornton gave the green light Wednesday to a bill direCt i ing Gov. Mark Hatfield to make i cuts in the state’s general fund budget. The bill was approved 10-3 by the Ways and Means Commit tee Tuesday. The bill is expect ed to win approval of both houses. It meets the question of giving the governor legal and constitu tional authority to make budg et cuts. It specifies the dollar amounts of the cuts in every agency's budget and in the basic school support fund. It provides for Emergency Board restoration of cuts if the state’s income is higher than expected Parliamentarian (Continued front page l) suggested was the possible adop tion of the British Rule to Ad journ, which allows a given pe riod of discussion on any topje desired. The present method, he feels, restricts discussion except when a motion is presented be fore the body. “The Senate at present bas no concrete set of orders by which they can operate, only sugges tions and results of past discus sions. I hope these rules could enable some clarity to be brought to the situation,” he said. Needs Revision Referring to his plans concern ing revision of the ASUO Consti tution he stated that it “needs a physical revision. A lot of ma terial is presently included in the actual constitution which should be in the by-laws, and vice versa,” he said. He pointed out as an example that two sets of rules concerning election procedures are included in the document, one in the con stitution section and one in the bylaws. These two could be con solidated into one, he feels, to increase efficiency. Winters also expressed the opinion that he favored the grad ual separation of powers in the executive and legislative branch es of student government. President Burdened “The student body president often has too great a burden.” he said, “and he also has to pre side over the legislative body.” This structure could be changed, he suggested, by employing the vice-president as Senate presi dent, or by some other measure to reduce the duties of the pres ident. "This change,” he added, “will not be an immediate thing. It would require a great deal of study and education of the peo ple involved before it could be realized. But I would like to see it worked towards.” In conclusion. Winters stated that he has "no political aspir ations on the campus, “but that he wishes only, to put his ideas forward for consideration of the Senate. “I am not fostering an image,” he said. r MARRIED STUDENTS ONLY!

(Continued from paqe 1) hold the policy of not charging i graduates out-of-state fees. “It Is becoming more and more evident that in the liberal arts fields, students from schools with a graduate school do better when they themselves finally enter graduate school,” said Patton. Quality Above Average Kieffer said that he feels the quality of instruction offered by many graduate assistants is above average “Every teaching assis i tant isn’t a green BA,” he observ-1 ed. “Sometimes students have taught for several years and then return to school for a higher degree with this experience. We I shouldn’t be blinded by the title a fellow holds.” Patton said that while he did not have the exact figures he be lieved that University graduate enrollment is about twice that of Oregon State University and is the largest in the state. “Graduates carry their share of the teaching load in small dis cussion or lab sections where the important educational point is the contact between student and teacher,” commented Patton. Research Important “The main importance to the university as a whole is the re search under the supervision of apply for and receive research the faculty which allows us to grants.” Kieffer said that serious gradu ate researchers tend to keep pro fessors more closely informed and constantly straining and testing new ideas. “Cutting the graduate program wouldn’t help anyone," Kieffer stated.
