m UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1964 Vol. I,XVI No. 21 ■H New College May Give UO Needed Expansion Bv MAXIM: ELLIOTT Emerald Staff Writer Following Monday’s community college .special election, questions began to be raised concerning th' possible effects of the new college on the University While answers won’t hr- known for some time, University offi rials are beginning to hazard guesses The Department of Continuing Kducatiori will probably be af fected most, it is believed Hut as V'iron A Moore, Director of State Wide Services points out, "We will supplement each oth er ” The department's principal duty is to the adult community, rather than to college drop-outs and high school graduates. Moore said If the community college offers a broad field of liberal arts courses, Moore believes that his department will then offer fewer liberal arts courses and concen trate more on graduate study Allows Expansion "The community college will allow our department to expand in the direction we need to go," Moore said Hobert Bowlyn, acting regis trar, believes that the new col lege may take off some of the load in lower division liberal arts courses, but points out that as yet, the school’s curriculum has not been decided Whether the school becomes largely technical or a balance of technical and lib eral arts will Ik: a decision of the college’s newly-elected board of directors. Bowlyn said he does not be lieve that the college's techni cal curriculum will materially af fect the University, but that OTI at Klamath Falls may lose some potential County students. Cost, both men feel, will be a big factor in determining how many Eugene freshmen will choose to study at the community college rather than at the Uni versity. Moore feels that in keeping with the current trend that edu cation be as public as possible, the costs will probably be lower as in Portland where tuition for students enrolled in college trans fer courses at Portland Commu nity College is $60 a term. Requirements Lower Another factor to consider, is the minimum high school GPA for admittance. All member schools of the State System of Higher Education require that their students have a 2 25 GPA as entering freshmen, but the community college may not ad here to this, as it will be a branch of the public school district Port land's community college, for ex ample. requires only that the en tering student have a high school diploma. While both men feel that they as yet have no basis for judgment. Moore summed up his viewpoint by saying that the community college being run by the public schools is logical, because post high school work of this nature should be a step up from high school, rather than a step down from the university level as it* sometime* proves to be. Both the University and the students, he said, will benefit from the ar rangement.

Lowe GOP Chief Says Goldwater to Get Dumped' By DAVE JORDAN Emerald Associate Editor Lane County’s Republican Party chieftain predicted Thursday night that Barry Goldwater will "get dumped on his head” in the Nov. 3 presidential election Martin Brandenfels, Chairman of the Lane County Republican Central Committee, opined the fate of his party’s presidential i candidate, analyzed the progress I of the state and local races, and . •‘ended his involvement in the now-famous “Straub-Smith liquor case” at a campus Young Repub licans Club meeting. Brandenfels voiced a belief that Goldwater is the more honest and capable of the two national candidates, but indicated he ex pects to see him defeated due to a combination of President John son’s political ability and his abil ity at covering up scandals, and due to Goldwater’s inability to get his true views across to the voters. He blasted Johnson for his j dealings with such people as Wal ter Jenkins and Bobby Baker, and said the President lacks "the type of integrity we have a right to expect” in our chief executive, j Victory By Landslide He said. “Goldwater feels that the best way to reduce spending will be to not institute new pro grams unless they are desper ately needed. He is not planning to junk existent programs. But he isn’t getting this view across." i Goldwater's failure to commu-1 cate with the voters caused Bran I denfels to predict that he will j lose by "one of the biggest land slides in history.” He predicted a 55-45 popular vote percentage split in John son’s favor, but still held out some hope for his party. He indicated he had "hear d rumors that something will break next week that will make Baker and Jen kins sound like a tea party.” He was skeptical on this idea, however, and said, “I think Bar ry Goldwater is going to get dumped on his head rather bad ly" Liquor Case Backfire Brandenfels said his party should win at least one of the state offices up for grabs this year, but admitted that t h e ■‘Straub liquor case” may have backfired in the Democrat’s fa vor. He said Republican Tom McCall "should win” the race for Secre tary of State, but criticized Mc Call’s campaign tactics of “trying to pass himself off as a TV per sonality.” He said Republican incumbent Howard C. Belton "deserves” to be re-elected as State Treasurer, (Continue# mi page 3) were obtained; registered Demo crats, 511; registered Republi cans, 505: non-registered voters with Democratic preference, 335; non registered voters with Re i publican preference, 433. Republicans Have Edge Uniting registered and non registered voters under party preference yields the following figures; 846 Democratic votes were cast and 938 Republican votes were cast. Even with this margin of 92 Republicans voting. Gold water trailed by 550 votes. IBM Computers provided an immediate cross-check on some of the election returns. Of the 505 registered Republicans, 211 voted for Johnson. Of the 511 registered Democrats, only 27 ; voted for Goldwater. Almost 50 percent of the regis tered Republicans are supporting the Democratic ticket according to these figures. Further analysis shows only 05 percent of the Democratic votes being cast for Goldwater. Capital Punishment Axed The constitutional amendment which would abolish Capital Pun ishment in Oregon, passed with 1.125 "yes” votes and 653 "no” votes. The correlation of this vote with the presidential vote (1,154 Johnson, 604 Goldwater) is very dose. However, no cross check was made to varify wheth er or not those who voted for Goldwater were also in favor of keeping capital punishment. Johnson ran ahead in all four of the groups polled: faculty, staff, graduate students, an dun dergraduates. 01 the 72 faculty members who voted, 68 supported Johnson. Only four voted for Goldwater, giving Johnson a 16 to 1 vic tory. Staff members — non-teaching positions—cast 66 votes. Johnson received 48 of them; Goldwater got only 18. fContinued on 9) McCall Talks Today in SU Tom McCall.
