ASUO Plans Poverty Conference
KOHKKT J. LAMPMAN
ARTIIt'R PEARL
Saul Alinsky, Arthur Pearl,
2 Others to Discuss Problems
An ASUO-sponsored poverty conference will
bring four top experts together January 27 and 28
to discuss approaches and solutions to the nation’s
poverty problems.
Heading the list of experts is Saul Alinsky,
nationally known organizer of community proj
ects.
The others are British economist Robert Theo
bald; Robert J. Lampman, a member of Presi
dent Kennedy's Council of Economic Advisors;
and Arthur Pearl, University professor of edu
cation and an authority on poverty education.
The conference will be held in the Student
Union Ballroom with speeches by all four experts,
each followed by audience questions and dis
cussion The concluding session Friday afternoon
will be a debate among the four speakers on
possible solutions to poverty.
GOLDSCHMIDTS IDEA
The conference was the idea of ASUO Presi
dent Steve Goldschmidt. He says. "At a time
when the government is proposing to spend bil
lions of dollars on one of America’s greatest
problems—poverty—it is critical that those who
are working with this problem now, those who
will be working in this field, in the future, and
laymen in general receive extensive exposure to
the reasons why the problem exists and the diff
erent solutions involved.”
To create such exposeure Goldschmidt con
ceived the idea of the poverty conference. He'll
have not only those four experts involved but also
University students and faculty who have been
involved in this school’s numerous programs in
this area — VISTA, toward- -Bound, the Job
Corps, CAUSE, and the ASUO-sponsored Migrant
Labor Project, and laymen from all over the
Northwest. VISTA will also bring a number of
poor people from various parts of Oregon as
their guests to the conference.
Those four experts represent four different
views of solutions to the poverty problem. (Thus
the conference's title: “Four Approaches. Four
Solutions.”)
ALINSKY BEST-KNOWN
Alinsky, perhaps the best known of the four,
represents the community action answer to the
poverty question.
Harper’s magazine said recently that "Inciting
municipal jitters is . . . Alinsky’s trade.” A Kan
sas City newspaper called him a "battler for the
poor whose ideas have set thousands marching
and resulted in . . . screams of rage, moans, and
groans. He provokes violent reactions—apparently
it is impossible to be neutral in appraising him.”
With citizen’s groups composed of such diverse
elements as Catholic priests, leftist labor leaders
and business men—catalyzed by mass anger di
rected against those who create poverty—he has
worked great changes in many cities with pickets,
boycotts and demonstrations.
Appropriately, he’ll discuss "Action for Equal
ity” at the University's conference.
ECONOMIC APPROACH
Lampman represents the economic approach to
poverty. "An Economist Looks at Poverty” is his
conference topic. He’s a faculty member at the
University of Wisconsin, was a research associate
for the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Theobald’s recent work has emphasized cyber
netics as an approach to the economics of both

Winter Term's
Bob Hope Show
Cancelled Here
The* Bob Hope show will not
appear at the* University this
year, it was announcc-d recently
by Student Union program di
rector Adell McMillan.
Hope was scheduled to appear
at the University on March 5,
but the cost of having him appear
here was "just too expensive,” ac
cording to Miss McMillan.
"We could not make a con
tractual arrangement agreeable
to us, Oregon State, and Bob
Hope’s agent,” she explained.
There will definitely be a re
placement for Hope's show, how
ever, which will perform on
March 5. It will be a well-known
group of performers and its name
will be released as soon as the
contract has been signed and re
turned to the SU, probably next
week.
Glenn Yarbrough is scheduled
to appear April 8. His contract
has been signed, so his appear
ance is certain.
Also, negotiations are being
conducted now with several other
groups for appearances at the
University during this year,
among which are the Beach Boys
and the Ramsey Lewis Trio.
Language Classes
Offered at YMCA
Registration for the Swahili
and Hindi language courses
will continue through this
office in 318 SU.
Swahili will be taught at 7
p.m. on Tuesday nights and
Hindi will be taught at 7 p.m.
Thursdays. The registration
fee will be $5.
Tom McCall to Make
GOP Gubernatorial Bid
Secretary of State Tom Mc
Call announced his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for
; governor of Oregon Wednesday
at four press conferences in cities
around the state.
The tall, greying McCall trav
elled to each of the four Congres
sional districts in the state in a
five-hour period, winding up his
tour in Eugene. He said he ex
pected “as many as 10’’ candi
dates for governor from each of
the two major parties in the state.
McCall announced his candi
dacy “with humility and grati
tude.” He continued: “I am hum
ble because I revere Oregon’s
highest elective office and I am
awed by its immense responsi
bilities.”
He said, “There is only one
real reason to seek the governor- J
ship of Oregon—or for that mat- |
ter any public office—and that is
to improve the vantage point
from which to come to grips with j
the issues.”
Main Issues
In the question and answer
period following his announce
ment, McCall said that “crime,
juvenile delinquency, scholar
ships, and air and water pollu
tion” are the issues with which
he is most concerned. He pointed
to his record as Secretary of
State during the past year, noting
what progress his office has made
in these areas.
He also intimated that he was
running for the governorship be
cause the present Governor of
Oregon, Mark 0. Hatfield, will
probably run for the U.S. Senate
next November. Hatfield cannot
seek re-election as governor, and
many observers have said that
he will seek the Senate seat that
Maurine Neuberger will vacate
at the end of this year. She has
announced that she will not seek
re-election.
McCall said that he thought
"serious consideration" ought to
be given to calling a special
session of the State Legislature
to try to ease the financial bur
dens of the State System of High- ,
er Education. “I don't think we
should use the special session as
a last-ditch effort; we ought to
use it when the facts show we
need it,” he told the Emerald.
“Related to Taxes”
He said that higher education’s
share of state money in the next
biennium “will be closely related
to the tax funds available,” but
did not say what how much he
TOM LAWSON McCALL
thought the State System should
receive.
“We shouldn’t take the great
outflow of students in the state
as something bad,” he continued,
“we should be proud of them.”
McCall, when asked about the
possibility of another four-year
institution of higher education
being developed in the state, said:
“We should look at the possi
bility with a great deal of seri
ousness; we have to see how
large we want to get. We need a
survey of the present situation
and a forecast of the future
needs.”
James Pearson. 34-year old Eu
gene attorney, will serve as cam
paign director in Lane County
for McCall’s campaign.
No other candidates have offi
cially announced their candidacy
for governor yet: however. State
Representative F. F. "Monte”
Montgomery (R-Eugene) is ex
pected to do so.
Seattle Campus
Dates Aptheker
SEATTLE (AP) — Herbert
Aptheker. American Communist
party theoretician now in North
Viet Nam, has been invited to

Sunday, has not accepted as yet.

Dorm Residents
VoiceObjections
To 'Snoball' Tax
For the second year in a row,
some freshmen dormitory resi
dents are objecting to being "ar
bitrarily taxed’’ to support the
Frosh Snoball.
The Snoball. an annual dance
that is ODen only to freshmen, has
always been sponsored by the
freshman dormitories — although
it is supposedly an all class func
tion
And also for the second year
in a row, the Freshman Dormitory
Class Council, a group that is not
recognized by the University Stu
dent Activities Committee, is re
sponsible for levying the tax.
Last year, two dormitories ob
jected to being taxed for the
dance and wrote a letter to the
Emerald appealing to the ASUO
Senate to take action to protect
the dormitory residents against
the unauthorized taxation. How
ever, the letter submitted by res
idents of Hawthorne and Dyment
Halls, was written after the Sno
ball had taken place and after the
debts had been incurred. The
ASUO Senate failed to take any
action and the dissenting dormi
tory residents apparently had to
pay the 55 cents per person as
sessment from their social funds.
This year. Hal Kingslien, presi
dent of Decou Hall, has raised
the issue before the dance has
taken place. However, he told
