obegon n a i ly jt; m e r a 1 d Vol. I XVI INIVKRSITY OF OREGON, KDGKNK, WEDNESDAY, Al'RII, 21, 1965 No. 110 Committee Discusses Code Change for Vigil By VIVIAN WILSON Knit-raid Staff Wrltt-r University women residing in t mversity housing units will be aide to participate in the all night protest against the war in Viet Nam this Friday without violating the Conduct Code, ac cording to a new amendment to the ('ode The Student Conduct Commit tee Tuesday amended section II f.3, closing hours for women's living organizations, to read "University recognized function" as changed from "University sponsored function " The Code now states that "when women attend a University-rec ognized function that continues past the closing hour, they shall return to their living organiza tion within 20 minutes after the activity has terminated." The all night protest has been recog nized by Arthur S. Flemming, University President. Doesn’t Sponsor Wendell B a s y e, Committee Chairman, said that “the Uni versity doesn't actually sponsor any function; it can only recog nize an activity.” Basye explained that the amendment was prompted by a previous interpretation of the (.'ode for closing hours. The Committee also amended the Code under section HI D. social activity eligibility, to deny the privileges of the University and related organizations from former students who have been expelled or suspended from the University for disciplinary rea sons. Denied Privileges The Code formerly denied such privileges to students who had been disqualified for enrollment because of poor scholarship. This provision has been replaced by the amendment. The new amendment also states that a University-related living organization will be held responsible for the conduct of non students residing in that housing unit. The non student himself can not be charged with violations of the Code. Hut if that non student living in a University housing unit commits a Code violation, the living organization will be held responsible for his conduct. No provision has been made by the amendment for the stu dent in the Division of Continu ☆ tV ing Education who is living in a University living organization hut in no other way is connected with the University. Francis Nickerson, associate dean of students, explained that this is because the State Board of Higher Education recently amended their administrative code to provide jurisdiction to maintain the discipline of these students by fining, suspending, or expelling them for violations of the Code. In other business, the commit tee discussed criteria for minor court member appointments, and whether or not a student should be accountable for activities which take place in his room. W * A Closing Hours Policy Protested The University chapter of Young Republicans and the pres ident of a local radio station have sent separate letters to members of the Oregon Legislature con demning the University’s recent decision to allow coeds to stay out past closing hours to partici pate in Friday’s all-night demon stration against the war in Viet Nam. Marvin R Steffins, Jr., president of KWFS, called the move "a lack of supervision and absence of using common sense , . ac cording to a story by the Asso ciated Press. According to the AP story, Stef fins demanded in a letter to the legislature that the policy of al lowing the late hours be reversed by Friday and urged a full in vestigation of such policies at the University. The YR action came in the form of a resolution at that groups meeting Tuesday night Members voiced the objection that the decision did not set a precedent, a stand which dormi tory officials had taken Monday in announcing the move. Several members felt that it should either be a standing rule that hours be suspended for poli tical activities of recognized groups, or else that no exception (Continued on page 3) Senate Passes Budget, Cuts NSA Appropriation By PHIL RE MAS Associate News Editor The ASUO Senate Tuesday night approved its 1965-66 budg et with only one change—a cut in the allotment for the National Student Association from $1,585 to $1,100 That cut means that probably only two people — the campus NSA co-ordinator and the ASUO president—will be sent to the national NSA convention this summer. Last year the University sent six people and the budget Polling places for today’s ASUO elections will be located by the library, in the Com monwealth quad, outside Boom 150 Science, at the Student Union terrace and next to the tennis court near Carson Hall (if not raining). Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the SU. Write-in spaces for ASUO president will be at the bot tom of the ballot. figure of $1,585 would have sent four this summer. The Senate also approved amendments to its by-laws which will establish a system of com mittees which will process virtu ally all legislation before it goes to the Senate. The vote was unan imous. Budget Okayed The budget for the Interna tional Education Center, a group which co-ordinates student trav el and study abroad, was approv ed by the Senate unanimously. And at the end of the meet ing the Senate refused to amend the agenda and consider a pro posal by Senator-at-large Henry Drummonds which would have said that the all-night protest planned for Friday by the Stu dent-Faculty Committee to Stop the War in Viet Nam does not represent the opinion of all stu dents at the University. The vote was 6-9. Hut most of the three-hour meeting was devoted to discus sion of the ASUO’s budget and about two items in that budget, a proposed salary for the vice-pres ident and the money allotcd for NS A. To $330 There were two attempts to lower the vice-president's salary from $520 per year to $330. The first, which also included giving the chairmen of the four standing Senate committee $50 per year, was defeated 2-12 with live ab stentions. The second proposal, which only lowered the vice - president’s salary, lost 7-8-2. ASUO President John Luvaas defended the $520 salary, which is three-fourths of the president’s, on the grounds that "if you give him (the vice-president) a one third or one-half salary, then you will get a one-third or one-half job. The new constitution makes his job almost the same as that of the president.” Luvaas also told the Senate he was not pleased with the way the Senate was reviewing the budget, noting that it was only about one percent of the total budget to be reviewed by the Student Union and Educational Activities Budg et. The total budget as approved by a 13-3 vote was $5,647. Different Omendments There were four different amendments proposed on the NSA question: • Senator-at-large Mike Wood in moved to increase the allot ment so that six delegates could be sent to convention. It was de feated 6-12-1. • Graduate student represen tative Phil Lowthian moved to delete $1,000 from the appropria tion making it $585. Several Sen ators objected that this would not allow any delegates to be sent to the convention. The motion failed 3-15-1. • Senator-at large Rick Wil liams moved to lower the alloca tion to $960. then changed his proposal to $800. This would have allowed one person to attend the conference. It also failed 13-3-3 after Senator-at-large Dean Fran (Continucd on page 6) ASUO Vote Set Today Steve Goldschmidt and Tom Clark are still the only can didates listed for ASUO president and vice president, respectively, in the primaries today.

The groun plans to picket the rally sponsored by the Student Faculty Committee to Stop the War in Viet Nam which will be held in the Student Union Ball room on April 23-24 Bill McCarter, spokesman for the Ad-Hoc Committee, said Tues day that the picketing will be conducted in the turn-around on the east side of the Student Un ion The picketing will begin at 8 p m. on Friday and will con tinue “until we decide to go home,” according to McCarter. Won't Stay All Night He added that the pickets would not "stay all night.” "We are picketing because we don't want people to get the impression that the Student-Fac ulty Committee people are ex pressing the majority opinion of University students.” McCarter said. The theme of McCarter's group seems to be “Support Your Gov ernment.” In other words, al though there are various reasons for the U S. to stay in Viet Nam. the student supporters of U S. in volvement in the war have band ed together under this heading. Different Reasons McCarter emphasized that the group has received no sponsor ship from any other groups and said that different students have different reasons for supporting the stand. He did say that some members of the University Young Demo crat and Young Republican clubs have signed up to participate in the picketing. McCarter said he expected “at least 100” students to participate i Coiilimu'd on t'agt t>) Jli'gii harsis and Kenneth Settle mi(n Candidates for senior class vice president are Van Keck and Alice Tsunenaga.

For Oregon Higher Education Master Plan Report Boosts Local Colleges By DAVE JORDAN Emerald Associate Editor Salem (Special) — A progress i report on a master plan being ' drafted for Oregon post-high j school education was released Tuesday, including recommenda ■ tions on higher education admin ! istration, community colleges, tui tion, and graduate facilities. The report was submitted to the Governor's Education Coor dinating Council by a special committee in charge of drafting the master plan. No action was taken in response to the report Tuesday, but it will be discussed at a meeting of the Council May 3. President John R. Howard of Lewis and Clark College, chair man of the master plan com mittee, presented the report to the Council. He indicated the report was "very preliminary,” but said the completed master plan hopefully would be released in "about a year.” Want Unified System The report gives detailed con sideration to community colleges and coordination of administra tion of higher education in Ore gon. It recommends that a unified system of community colleges be established and administered by the State Board of Education, and that the colleges be at least par tially financed by legislative ap propriation. "The state's interest, in the opinion of our committee, is un represented in the community college field at present,” Howard said. “And we think that through the use of state money it would be.” The report also recommends: • The state should make avail able. except where distance and sparsity of population make it impracticable, community college (Continued on fiaye 3)
