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provision has been replaced by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.

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

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

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

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
