The Kids Went Wild'
Project Workers Return;
Results Appear Excellent
Editor's Note: Thl* Is the first in a series
of articles discussing the past activities and
future plans of the Migrant l.abnr Project,
a student program organized two years ago
under the sponsorship of the University.
By VIVIAN WILSON
Assistant Managing Editor
An enthusiastic group of students returned to
the University this fall with first hand details
on the migrant situation after working in the
Migrant Labor Project last summer.
The Project, with 30 students and a $24,000
grant from the U S. Public Health Service, aimed
its services at improving health and educational
standards of the seasonal farm laborers who
work in Oregon every summer.
Work in 4 Counties
The students' efforts were concentrated in four
Oregon counties: Marion, Polk. Washington and
Yamhill, where they dealt with not only the
migrants but also with many influential local
and state authorities on the migrant situation.
Their activities rangi-d from teaching classes
in sewing, English and drivers' training, to or
ganizing baseball teams and supervising a swim
ming program.
In a meeting last Monday with the Project
director, Frank Miles, professor of social work at
Portland State College, the students discussed
the problems and successes of their work.
''People's Response"
Karen Carpenter, a University sophomore, said
the "people’s response" gave her the most satis
faction in her work with the migrants. Miss Car
penter worked at Kola Village, a large migrant
camp housing nearly 2,000 people near McMinn
ville in Yamhill County.
She defined their response as "participation;
children’s gifts to us; parents coming over to say
good-bye.”
Attended Fiesta
Other students who were selected through the
Project but worked in summer schools under the
Valley Migrant League, a $15 million project
financed by the Office of Economic Opportunity,
experienced similar compensation through the
migrants’ reactions.
Three of these teachers’ aides, as they were
called, received a special invitation from a
Spanish family to attend a wedding fiesta The
fiesta turned out to he a full day affair for the
students: Kathy Tilford, a University sophomore
in history, John Marsh, a University senior in
education, and Diane Aho, who is now attending
Portland State College.
The students went to a luncheon in honor of
the bridal couple, the wedding, which was con
ducted in Spanish, a following dinner and the
dance.
Organized Activities
Some of the Project workers organized or
helped to organize various activities for the
migrants, particularly the children.
Joe Sturges, a graduate student in mathe
matics who worked in Polk County, told of a trip
they made to the Oregon coast with some migrant
families from their area Sturges said it was
fascinating “seeing the kids go wild experiencing,
seeing, things they had never seen before.”
One little girl got sick when she saw the Pacific.
"I didn't think it was that big," she explained to
the others.
“First" Experiences
Bruce Ledgorwood, a junior in liberal arts who
worked in Washington County, said he didn't
know about those “first” experiences.
Ledgerwood told of taking a group of kids to
the Portland Zoo, which he had never seen before.
But one little boy, obviously bored, said it was his
third trip there that summer. “I got the thrill
out of it instead of the kid," Ledgerwood said.
Adults Conservative
The adults, usually more conservative than
their children and less impressed by the students’
enthusiasm, were harder for the Project volun
teers to get to know, but they formed more last
ing friendships with them.
The students, however, tried to aim their proj
ects and objectives at the younger generation.
With an increasing turn to mechanization in the
agricultural industry there is a rising concern
over jobs, a concern which involves the young
people, chiefly.
With this problem in mind, the Migrant Labor
Project is making preparations to work this
consideration into future objectives. Further
discussion of other activities of the Project will
be presented in the next issue of the Emerald.
2700 Ballots
Cast in Election
Almost 2,700 students voted in Wednesday’s ASUO pri
mary election.

turnout in next Wednesday’s general election of “as many
as 3,500. I hat ballot will include all the positions voted

Bottom of Bowl
'Social Room'
By JOHN DENNY
Staff Writer
The SU Board disclosed their
intent to make the Bottom-of-the
Bowl a social area, rather than a
study area, at a meeting Wednes

Among suggestions made by
committee members for changing
the Bottom-of-the-Bowl, are the
replacements of large study ta
bles by smaller metal tables; sep
arating the area from the rest of
the basement by partitions; add
ing an Expresso coffee machine;
adding a piano; playing records
through the speaker in the Bot
tom-of-the-Bowl; and changing
the name of the area.
The Board is considering in
creasing study space in the SU.
Present proposals include post
ing a time schedule of study
rooms available daily, opening the
Ballroom during the day and al
lowing coffee to be carried to
the second floor, and rearranging
the existing chairs and adding
more chairs in the second floor
lounge.

Anti-War' Committee
Meets; Talk Lively'
By RALPH KRL'MDIECK
Associate New* Editor
A panel of four professors,
mombers of the Faculty-Student
Committee to Stop the War in
Viet Nam, led a discussion of
U. Alexis Johnson’s Viet Nam
speech Tuesday night.
The discussion, held immedi
ately after Johnson’s talk, drew
about 100 people to room 150
Science. Daniel Goldrich, asso
ciate professor of political sci
ence, started the discussion off
on the right attitude.
Broader View
He said, “We want to take a
more open, realistic and critical
view” of Johnson’s speech. The
discussion was decidely biased

Socialists to Show
Viet Cong Film
“Fighting in Viet Nam,” a film
put out by the Viet Cong, will
be shown at 7 p.m today at the
regular meeting of Students for
Social Action in the SU.
Another film, made by Wilfred
Burchett, who is with the Viet
Cong and writing for the Na
tional Guardian, will also be
shown.
The public is invited at no
charge. A business meeting will
follow.
at first. Speakers came to the
front to express their views about
the former ambassador’s speech
and everyone seemed to be of
the same opinion since there was
almost no criticism.
Then the lights were accident
ally tripped by one of the panel
ists and, since no one knew how
to turn them on, the major part
of the discussion was held in
semi-darkness.
This unexpected occurrence ap
parently gave heart to what few
dissenters there were in the room
and the meeting started to sound
like a spirited discussion between
opposing factors for the first
time.
One Brave Enough
Unfortunately only one of the
dissenters came down to the
lighted front of the room to ex
press his opinions. The others
stayed in their seats and hollered
loud enough to be heard.
It was established that John
son’s speech was apparently in
error on several important points,
according to the panel. These
points in Johnson’s speech were
elaborated upon by the audi
ence and the panel using the
information at hand, which was
current and seemingly reliable.
The few people in disagree
ment brought up several points
that sparked a discussion but
they were apparently answered
to the satisfaction of the audi
ence.
