Vol LXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2#, 1964 No. 114 $14.7 Million Budget OKed For University Next Year CORVALLIS (AF)—The 1964 ; 65 budget approved by the state Board of Higher Education Tues day indicates that the University will spend $14.7 million to edu cate 10,525 students, said John Merrifteld, a board member from Portland. The budget has Oregon State spending $16 4 million to educate 10,963 students and Portland State spending $5.5 million on: 7,580 students. Charles Holloway Jr., chair-' man of the board, urged support of the $30 million education bond issue which will appear on the May 15 ballot. "I know of no organized opposition to the bond plan and we have only to fight the possibility that apathy and ignorance could defeat it," he said. Research Center The Intard also approved plans for a graduate research center near Portland State College. The board's plan calls for the center to be independent of Port land State at first. It might even tually become a part of the col lege The 1965 legislative session will lie asked to provide money for the proposed center Members of the board said it would re N.S.F. Science Grant Awarded An SI 1.000 grant from the National Science Foundation to a University professor will make possible the establishment of an astronomical research observa story in the Cascades for the second consecutive summer. K G. Ebbighausen, professor of physics, has announced that t h e site for the coming summer’s re search will be on U S. Forest Service land two miles south of Sisters The observatory was lo lated on Cache Mountain last year. Ebbighausen is searching for an ideal site for a permanent in stallation for summer astronom-1 icai observations, which includes accessibility by road and several months of clear weather. Telescope Relocated During the coming summer, a visiting astronomer, Gerold Kron of the Lick Obesrvatory at the University of California, will be associated with Ebbighausen in his research. The University's 15-inch tele scope, normally located on top of the Science Building, will be moved to the summer location, along with various pieces of elec tronic equipment and a power generator for recording the ob servations. Although astronomical obser vations have been made in Ore gon for many years, last summer was the first time that funda mental research in astronomy was attempted. Ebbighausen is hoping to dem onstrate that such research is feasible in the state, particular ly at high altitudes during the summer months. His chief re search interest involves studying the brightness of stars, partic ularly binary stars which are eclipsed as they circle around each other. Emerald Staff Meets Tonight There will be another ses sion on libel for all Emerald Staff members tonight in the Allen Room at 7 p.m. The lawyer for the Register Guard will speak. quire a considerable amount. The proposed center would utilize graduate programs and staffs of the University of Ore gon, Oregon State University and Portland State College. It also would use the staffs of the Uni versity of Oregon Medical and Dental schools and the Primate Center. These staff members, and those from some private colleges, would be used on a part-time basis. The center would not grant degrees. Students would receive their de grees from universities and col leges already accredited. Merrifield called for improve ment of the undergraduate pro gram at Portland State. He said Portland State already has al most as many students as either Oregon State or Oregon, but i*i not getting proportionate funds. New EOC President The board reported that three out-of-state educators had been interviewed as possible succes sors to Frank Bennet, who is re tiring later this year as president of Eastern Oregon College. The three are George Feliz, San Fran cisco State College; Paul Waler, | San Fernando Valley State Col lege in California; and Averno Rempel, Purdue University.

Its Being Planned That's the plan. Archie Mbo gho, a University graduate stu dent from Kenya, is planning to translate Shakespeare's famous work into the East African lan guage for presentation in the International Shakespeare Festi val. Mbogho, who teachers a class in Swahili Tuesday nights, is planning to use members of his class for the cast of his pro-; duction. Swahili is the language of Ken ya, Uganda, Tanganyika, and Zan zibar, as well as the eastern area of the Congo. Mbogho believes that this at tempt to convert the bard’s work into his native East African tongue may be the first time such a thing has been done. Another attempt is being made to translate Shakespeare into Swahili, but it is done in Tangan yika itself. That country’s presi dent, Julius Nyerere, is translat ing Julius Caeser into his nation’s language for presentation at their own National Shakespeare Festi val scheduled for this July. Chess Tournament The University’s Invitational Chess Tournament was not held “due to a mistake,” according to the Student Union Games Committee. The tournament will be held this weekend, May 2 and 3. All Migratory Work Aids Peace Corps Plans Working for the Migratory La bor project this summer would be an excellent way for someone in terested in joining the Peace Corps to get training, according to Dan Dodd, chairman of the University Peace Corps Commit tee. “The work in the migratory la bor camps, home economics, san itation, educating children, is al most identical to what the Peace Corps workers do.” he explain ed. One reason Dodd offered for the camps being good training is that they provide an opportu nity for the student to learn "how to work with people under poor living conditions.” a chance to help train and work with peo ple of the lower classes. In this way, the migratory la bor work acquaints the student with problems in sanitation, com mon medical care and teaching children. This is patterned after the training program for Peace Corps volunteers, said Dodd. Another way in which this work would prepare someone for the Peace Corps is that, because the work is under the same con ditions only for a short time, the person could decide in one sum mer whether he really wanted to dedicate as much as two years of work to the Peace Corps under similar low cultural conditions. Through this work “you could know beforehand if you really do want to go into the Peace Corps." Dodd added. "The purpose is the same as of the Peace Corps,'’ said Dodd, "that the volunteer gains a bet ter understanding of the prob lems of the people and learns ef fective means for helping. Commenting on the training session for working and at the migratory camp, Dodd said "It is not as extensive (as the training session for the Peace Corps), but it is a beneficial preparatory and will enhance one's chance of ac ceptance as far as skills.’’ Dodd related that “our activi ties in the Peace Corps office sup port this program." He said they were working with Mike Gannon, chairman of the Migratory La bor committee "on publicity and encouraging students to apply es pecially if they were thinking of joining the Peace Corps later.’’ Rally Orientation Scheduled Today An orientation assembly for students interested in trying out for the rally squad or yell duke positions will be held at 6:30 p.m. today in the Stu dent Union. rlass rep.
