Within the Week Students Face Draft Re-appraisal Soon PORTLAND TAP) — Oregon students who now have 2-S draft deferments are going to have to move swiftly to prove that they are qualified to keep them. Within a few days, cards will be mailed to each of the nearly 22.000 men on the. state’s student deferment list. The students will take them to the college regis trars, who are to fill in on each the number of hours of classes being attended, grade point aver-, age for the last term and grade point average for all college work. The school must then mail the card back to his draft board Gap Closing in Drive For Stadium Monies By LARRY LANGE Assistant News Editor The financial machinery of the University’s new north bank foot ball stadium clicked another notch Wednesday when private contributions for the new struc ture reached two-thirds of the necessary total. Announcement of the gain was made by Hale Thompson of the Speaker Bureau of the Civic Stadium Fund Committee in a promotion speech to the Eugene Kiwanis Club Wednesday noon. As of Wednesday, contributions totaled $660,000, according to Lynn McReady, chairman of the fund-raising campaign. McReady said he was "quite pleased” with the movement of the drive, and that he was sure the total would be obtained soon The goal in the private fund campaign is $1 million. Total projected cost of the stadium is $2.25 million. $800,000 is obtainable from University Athletic Department reserves, and University President Arthur S. Flemming is confident that he can raise the remaining $425,000 from "special gifts and loans,” i once the other money is in hand. Plans for the stadium include seating for 45,000. Two sideline banks will hold 18,000 each, and end zone seats with a 15,000-seat | potential will be added as needed. Hayward Field, the Univer sity’s present stadium, will take 21,500. The new structure will be erected on an 89-acre site owned : No More Police Reports? Conduct Committee Debates By CLIFF SANDERMX Staff Writer The Conduct Committee heard a motion Wednesday from a stu dent member, Bob Carl, that the Committee recommend to Presi dent Flemming that the Office of Student Affairs no longer should receive copies of police reports on students who have been ar rested. Presently police reports are sent to Associate Dean of Stu dents Francis B. Nickerson, who told the Committee that he uses the reports only for counseling purposes. Carl charged that the police records are used for more than counseling purposes, citing a re cent case in which one of ASUO President Steve Goldschmidt’s committee nominations was held up by the University President’s office because the student has three minor infractions on his police record. The records dated back three years. Goldschmidt, who outlined the case at the Committee meeting, questioned how such information could come from the Office of Student Affairs if the records are used only for counseling purpos es. According to Nickerson, he de stroys the records as soon as he has spoken to the student. Nickerson disagreed with Carl’s motion, claiming that the coun seling information derived from the police records help “about one in seven or eight students" who get into trouble with the law. Nickerson said he knew there had been a “leak” of the informa tion on police records in the past, and that he was aware of who in the Office of Student Affairs had been responsible. He did not name the person but said he was sure the “leak” had been stopped. A vote on the motion was post poned by Committee Chairman Wendell Basye until the Friday meeting. In other business, the Commit tee passed amendments: • Giving the ASUO president’s office the first responsibility, in Flemming Holds Office Hours President Flemming will hold office hours for students from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. today. Section II. B 2, recommending members to the minor courts. • Providing for appointment of student prosecutor by the Asso ciate Dean of Students, “subject to the approval of the Student Conduct Committee;” • Providing, in section II. B.4, an advisor to the minor courts subject to approval of the Conduct Committee, who will also assist the ASUO President in recruiting and nominating to the President of the University candidates for membership in the minor courts. This amendment also outlined the specific duties of advisor to minor courts, which include “or ganizing the courts,” “receiving all cases from the Associate Dean of Students . . attending court headings where he would serve as advisor, and reporting results of hearings, "pursuant to section I. G.2.” Chairman Basye, in discussing the proposal to give the respon sibility in recommending mem bers to minor court to the ASUO President, said, “I believe we should attempt to bring into play the office of the ASUO President. "Since he (Goldschmidt) al ready makes nominations to the (Continued on page 7) by the University in the North Hank Park area, directly across the Willamette River from the campus. Target date for opening of the new stadium is football season of 1967. Skidmore, Owens, and Merrill,' Portland architectural firm, has been working on preliminary drawings for the building for; more than two months. A proposal has been made to bridge the Willamette River from an extension of either Agate or Villard street to the new stadium area. According to Jess Hill, Lane County Commissioner, engineers are now at work on this idea, awaiting final word on the exact1 location of the new structure. Access roads to the stadium will run from Interstate 105 Fi nancing of the road construction by the state, by the county, or through a state-county co-opera tive effort) is uncertain at this ■ time. Board to Okay Future Requests The Student Union Board de cided in its meeting Wednesday that until the Student Activi ties Committee formulates a clear-cut policy, the Board will approve all requests for groups to sponsor activities in the SU. "We'll just rubber-stamp re quests until a new policy is made,” SU Board chairman Dick Lawrence said. "However, we will not co-sponsor any ac tivities until Student Activities make a decision.” Until now, the Board has had to okay requests from groups, wishing to charge admission to their activities held in the SU.! In some cases, the Board would ; co - sponsor activities, putting i them in a position to make value judgments. The temporary policy would eliminate this problem. Student Activities has been | working to formulate a policy for approximately five months, Law-; rence said. While the Board adopted the recommendation, some changes in wording will be made before it j takes effect. In other business, the Board: • approved a Young Democrats1 request for use of the SU to show the film, “A Thousand Days,” a j biography of John F. Kennedy during his term of office, on Feb. 17. A 25-cent admission price will I be charged. • discussed a committee re port involving the possible change of the World Affairs Briefing Cen-1 ter to the TV room, and vice-ver- j sa. This would result in improved facilities for both. • approved a special attraction for Dads’ Day, Feb. 19. A pro gram, “Evolution of the Blues,”, involving three live jazz groups, will be presented. • okayed jazzman Les Mc Cann’s show for Feb. 14. within two weeks of the time he received it. If he does not, he will be classified 1-A, subject to immediate induction. This was reported Wednesday by Sprague Carter, Oregon Se lective Service director, who said, "We have run out of single men between the ages of 19 and 26. We don’t have a student problem: we have a manpower problem.” The student deferment group is the largest pool of available manpower, Carter continued, and has to be tapped. Students who show their cards from the registrar that they are taking 12 hours or more of work and getting “C” grades or better will be eligible for contin ued deferment under present standards. Those who do not will be sub ject to reclassification and, in all likelihood, will be drafted by the end of the year if the calls continue at their present rate, Carter said. When asked if colleges had been consulted on feasibility of handling the 22.000 cards in time for students to return them with in two weeks, Carter replied, “That is the responsibility of the institutions.” Roth Won't Run For New Post ASUO Senate Graduate Stu dent Representative Rod Roth has withdrawn his petition for senator-at-large in the winter term elections. "There is no sense in running now,’’ Roth said, "since I can’t demonstrate the holes in the (ASUO) Constitution. ’ Roth originally ran for the sec ond Senate seat to point up an inequity in the Constitution which does not prohibit someone from holding two offices. But the ASUO Constitutional Committee, the group which interprets the Con stitution, ruled that the two posi tions are incompatible. There fore, Roth would have to resign his graduate representative posi tion to run for senator-at-large. The Committee’s decision on Roth applied only to those two offices: graduate rep and senator at-large. Sparky Petre was inadvertently left off the list of candidates for ASUO senator-at-large published in Wednesday's Emerald. YAF to Sponsor Infiltrator's Talk Young Americans for Freedom will hear a speech at 8 p.m. today by Karl Prussian, a former FBI agent who posed as a member of the American Communist Party and infiltrated the organization. "The Free Speech Movement, Communist Party U S A., and how Communists Recruit Students on University Campuses’’ will be the topic of his speech. Prussian was an FBI agent for 13 years and attended meetings of the Communist Party in Cali fornia during that time. | Editorials .page 6 1 Classified ..page 7 1 Campus Briefs.page 7 j j Sports .page 4 J bwiw—aim.nil.-j
