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

In Mac Court
Gov. Wallace
To State Views
By DICK RICHARDSON
Emerald Associate Editor
Alabama Gov. 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.
University President Arthur Flemming said “Wallace is be
ing brought here by the Associated Students and I believe
-A-.
CORE Pickets
To Demonstrate
At Mac Court
Pickets, black armbands, and
handbills will greet students and
townspeople when they arrive at
McArthur Court tonight to hear
Alabama Gov. George Wallace.
Demonstrators from the cam
pus CORE group will carry signs
protesting general problems of
discrimination but not leveled at
Wallace in particular. 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. Ralph Moore, a pro
testant minister, and an advisor
of the Friends of SXCC group in
GOV. GEORGE WALLACE
Portland, will speak at two CORE
sponsored meetings today. The
Rev. Moore will answer ques
tion!- at an informal discussion at
5:30 p.m. in the SU dining room,
lie will speak again at 9 p.m.
in the SU ballroom.
A demonstration march is
scheduled for downtown Eugene
today in conjunction with the
community CORE group and
other local groups. The march
will assemble at 18th and Oak
at 2 r m. and will begin to march
toward downtown at 2:30.
Finne said that he had ob
tained police permission for the
march “as long as it stays order
ly and in single file." Demonstra
tors will walk on the sidewalks
anil not in the street.
Those planning to participate
in the demonstration before Mac

' he should be introduced by a
student.”
On his western tour thus far,
the governor has given stands for
1 constitutional government and
states’ rights and has fought
against the tyranny of centralized
government.
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

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.
