Thursday, the ASUO Senate had granted permission to solicit funds at McArthur Court before and after a speech by Alabama governor George Wallace tonight. University President Arthur S. Flemming overruled the Senate in a meeting Thursday with stu dent leaders, administrators, and representatives of both the cam pus ano community CORE organ: zations. He said that collection tables set up inside the basketball court could present added security prob lems before and after the gov ern or's speech. He suggested at that time that the collection be taken within the Student Union. The Board granted the permis sion for collection during the SU building hours today. Two CORE members will sit at one table in the lobby area during that period. Only voluntary donations may be made—with no “table hopping" —according to SU rules. CORE literature, explaining the group's general purposes and pro grams, will also be distributed at the collection tables. Dobkin said CORE buttons would be available for those who wished to have them. He explained that none of the literature distributed would pertain to Gov. Wallace or his speech. tion, which recently voted to with draw S2 of each student's fees from the budget board's funds for its own use. This was a step to meet a revenue loss resulting from the \oter.s' defeat of the Legislature's tax bill. This resulted in a net loss of funds for the board of SI7.101 with a predicted deficit of $4,682 for the current academic year The budget group handles funds for the Student Union, student publications, and related activi ties. To meet the loss, the budget board cut 95 cents a term from athletics. 95 cents from student activities, and 10 cents from the gym suit service. Now the Health Service will receive S7 from stu dent fees: Student Union and ed ucational activities, S5,''; athlet ics, S5.55; and gym suit serv icc, $1 90. During the meeting, the budg et board studied revised budgets submitted by Ellingson and dis cussed various means of cutting expenses. The board discussed a letter submitted by the Publications board. The publications budget was $5,002 over the amount re quested by the budget board and the letter explained difficulties involved in cutting back publica tions and losses resulting from the loss of cigarette advertising in The Emerald. Hoard Chairman \V. C. Jones commented that it would be nothing less than a disaster if anything happened to the publi cation of The Emerald. Ellingson said that tlie paper has been operating more effici ently since Nov. 1. has already made budget cuts, and serves (Continued on (one e) Senate Petitions Due Tuesday Petitions for six Senate seats are due in the SI’ by 4 p.m. Tuesday.

George Wallace, who likes to think of him self as the leading spokesman for the South in presenting its views to the nation,” will speak at 7:30 p.m. in McArthur Court. Following the speech there will be a question and answer period. The governor was invited to the campus by University President Phil Sherburne. Sherburne wrote to Wallace after he heard the governor was planning a western tour. Sherburne will introduce the governor in McArthur Court.

At a .spe cial meeting Saturday CORE planned to have two picket lines running north and south along University St. Ron Finne, presi dent of the student group, esti mated that about 30 pickets would be involved. CORE will solicit all funds to day in the main lobby of the Student Union. Funds collected by CORE will go to support SXCC (Student \on-Violent Co ordinating Committee) in that group's drive for increased vot er registration in the South. The Rev.

A demonstration march is scheduled for downtown Eugene today in conjunction with the community CORE group and other local groups.

Wallace Experts Agitators Before leaving Alabama last week, Wallace said, "I expect to run into the professional agi tators, the pickets, the left-wing ers and the Communists who do not approve of our stand for ' constitutional government.” Members of the campus and Eugene groups of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) will pass out literature outside Mc Arthur Court both before and after the governor’s speech. CORE members will wear black arm bands and CORE buttons. March Scheduled Eugene CORE members have also scheduled a march at 2:30 p.m. The marchers will carry petitions advocating equal em ployment and housing in the Eu gene area. The petitions will be presented to employers and real estate agents to demonstrate to them the interest by the people of Eugene in discrimination. These petitions will also be avail able at McArthur Court. Thursday Flemming denied a request by student CORE lead ers for permission to solicit funds inside Mac Court. Fleming turned down CORE s request after the ASl'O Senate passed the proposal by a 11-10 vote. Funds to be Collected However, CORE will collect funds during the day in the Stu dent I’nion. The money will be sent to the Student Non-Violent Co-ordinating Committee (SXCC) for a voter registration drive in the South. Flemming denied CORE’S re quest for security reasons inside McArthur Court. “Some people may feel a necessity to release tensions directly after the speech and any activity that slows the traffic increases the potential that things could get out of control,” he said. Demonstrators Cautioned Eugene Police Chief Art Ells worth has cautioned fund collec tors not to block the sidewalks in front of the building. He said some 24 officers have been as (Continued on page 3) Principal Urges Wallace Boycott An elementary school principal l.as called on ASUO President Phil Sherburne to urge students to boycott Alabama Gov. George Wallace’s speech tonight at Mc Arthur Court. In a letter to Sherburne, Lyle Eddy, elementary principal at Oakland, Oregon, asked the stu dent body president to “use your office to request students to com pletely disregard his visit to Ore gon.” Lyle said. "An empty McArthur Court should give him the im pression of our opinion of his actions." He added. "We do not believe that a man who has shown his complete disregard of law and order has anything to offer the students of our university.” Oakland is 20 miles south of Eugene on Highway 99.
