John Luvaas and Ron Cowin, both juniors petitioning for the post, staged their second debate before a large crowd After the fray, Cowin issued a challenge to I.uvaas, asking him to debate him once more before the general election. Cowin said he would meet Luvaas at 4 pm. Tuesday. May 5 at the platform in front of the Student Union if the latter accepts the challenge. I.uvaas told an audience of about 100 that Cowin has sug gested a possible 10 per cent student discount from Eugene merchants i.uvaas said he had talked to the manager of Penny's department store who told him that such a program was not pos sible. Not In Platform Cowin said that he had not put the proposal in his cam paign platform nor did he speci fy the amount of the discount He said he had spoken to some merchants concerning the pro posal, particularly the theatres which now give student discount rates lie said he felt that more research was needed before a definite program could be sug gested. I.uvaas also questioned Cowin's proposed tuition guarantee. He pointed out that the 12 other schools which guarantee tuition were private. Hatfield ( Red In rebuttal. Cowin referred to his recent meeting with Gov Mark Hatfield He said the gov ernor said a flexible tuition guar antee for two years is a possibil ity. Cowin said that this did not guarantee that tuition would not fluctuate at all but if costs did change they would not change as much as they have in the last few years.

Gandhi's Grave to Kennedy's Grave' Indians Tell Experiences Of Two-year Peace March By DAVE JORDAN Assistant News Editor A pair of young Indians who have been away from their home land for two years on their own International Peace March to de mand total and unilateral disarm ament visited the University Monday. E. P. Menon, 28, and Satish Ku mar, 27, spoke to the campus Young Democrats in the Stu dent Union yesterday afternoon, telling of their 7,000-mile “Del hi to Moscow to Paris to Lon don to Washington" trek. The two told a press confer ence Monday morning that the purpose of their march was to convince the people of the world’s leading nations that unilateral and total disarmament is the only way to survival, and that this disramament can only be achiev ed through non-violence. ‘Russia Wants Peace’ "We must give preference to humanity rather than national ism,” said Kumar. Menon indicated that “Russia wants peace. The United States wants peace. But they are afraid ol each other. Their policies are based on fear and mistrust.” “We asked the Russian govern ment. the French government, the British, and the American’s for unilateral disarmament. We ask them to accept policies based on non-violence and friendship.” Left from Delhi The two marchers set out from Delhi, India, on June 1, 1962. They marched north all the way to Moscow, and then went west across Europe through Germany and into France. From there they went to England and then to the United States, arriving in New York on Jan. 6 of this year. They said they marched “from the grave of Gandhi, to the grave of Kennedy.” Menon said, "It is for the peo ple to create a new diplomacy. We must find a way to peace. Otherwise, the politicians will lead us to thermonuclear destruc tion.” He continued, "There is no guarantee as long as you have bombs that any nation will not be destroyed. No one can win a war with weapons we have now. Military defense is clearly an im possibility.” Kumar and Menon walked from Delhi through Iran and Af ghanistan and most of the way to Moscow. They flew the last few miles to the Russian capital be cause of inclement winter wea ther. They were in Russia for four months, and then set out on foot for the West. They walk ed clear through Germany and as far as Paris. From there they flew to England, and then came to the U.S. by ship. In all, they toured 12 countries. Walking Ends They are on the tail-end of a three-month speaking tour in the U.S., sponsored by the Com mittee for Non-Violent Action. They hope to go from the U.S. to Japan, and then possibly on into Red China. They told of their tactics, say ing, "We would come up to the border and ask them to let us enter. We told them that as long (Continued on page 7) But Bond Issue ... Board Approves Science Addition A $2.9 million addition to the Science Building and a new psychology clinic and human research building at the University now hinge on the outcome of the May 15 bond issue. 1 he State Board of Higher Education Monday approved plans for a $2,950,000 structure at the University. The item is not on the state system’s priority list for the current biennium. If voters approve the $30 million bond issue on May 15, board members said financing may be available. I he bond issue would give the state money to apply for federal matching funds for other projects already on the Lieuallen Stands Against OSU Grad Program CORVALLIS — Opposition to the development of a graduate liberal arts program at Oregon State University was expressed! at a meeting of the State Board of Higher Education Monday. Chancellor Roy E. Lieuallen made his position on the matter clear during the heated discus-! sion with the remark, "I'm against it.” Memories Arise The issue was discussed dur ing a meeting of the board s i Committee on Academic Affairs. The committee was reviewing inter-institutional guidelines for; Oregon State, the lTniversity of i Oregon and Portland State Col lege. One section of the proposed OSU guidelines touched off the debate which brought memories to some of the statewide contro versy which occurred in 1959' w hen Oregon State was granted permission to confer bachelor degrees in the humanities and so-, cial sciences. This move led to a name change for the Corvallis! institution from college to uni versity. The sentence which touched j off debate at the Sunday meeting was listed under the "responsi- ■ bilities” of OSU. It said: "To i maintain and develop in an or derly fashion appropriate under-1 graduate and graduate pro-! grams.” Board members immediately i wanted to know if this meant a; full liberal arts graduate pro (Continual on fatte o) priority list — possibly freeing -tate funds for the University luilding. Psych Clinic Ok’d The board also approved an application for federal planning funds for a new psychology clinic and human research building. University President Arthur Flemming said prospects are good for receiving federal matching funds to help construct the build ing. The board also approved sal ary, raises for more than half the 3.000 teachers in the state sys tern Raises ranged from S1G0 to SI.500. For the second consecu tive year, the chancellor, presi dents, and deans received no raises. Funds would be used to con struct a science library in the courtyard south of the present east wing and a laboratory wing consisting of two stories and a basement. The latter addition would be constructed to the east of the present building's east, wing. Additions Allowed Like the present science an nex and Prince Lucien Campbell Hall, the new’ laboratory wing would be constructed to allow the addition of four more stories at a later date. It is expected that the new building will be financed with $2,410,000 in state funds and $540,000 in federal grants. Pre liminary plans submitted by Portland architects Skidmore, Owens, and Merrill were approv ed by the state board. The new psychology clinic would provide quarters for the University’s child study center and other research activities, now’ being housed in temporary buildings. The approved budget, for the year beginning July 1. allows $72 million for the operation of schools and other facilities, com pared with $67 million for the present school year. ASUO Group to Urge Bond Issue Support By JANET GOETZE Emerald Managing Editor The voters of the state are not antagonistic toward higher edu cation: they have not been giv en enough information to feel any identification with it. This is the framework around which the ASUO higher educa tion committee will work in urg ing voters to support Ballot Measure No. 1 on the May 15 Oregon Primary, according to Merritt Fink, ASUO vice presi dent, who heads the senate com mittee. This bond measure would give the state constitutional author ity to provide a maximum of $30 million in bond-borrowing capac ity for colleges and universities. This would not affect direct tax ation in the senate. The money would be used for construction of classroom build ings at all the state's institutions of higher education. The University's library build ing addition and alternations are 12th on a priority list of 13. No. 1 on the list is a Portland State College science building. No. 2 is initial campus development at Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls. No. 3 is a human ities and social sciences building at Oregon College of Education to replace Campbell Hall, which was damaged in the 1962 Colum bus day storm. Approximately S25 million of the proposed S30 million would be used for classroom construc iton in Oregon's institutions of higher learning. Approximately $5 million would go toward com munity college development. Kink said Tuesday the passing of this bond measure would pro (Continued on (•aged)
