Students Enter Beauty Pageant Patfe 6 OREGON DAILY EMERALD Monte Decides Not to Run Page 3 Vol. LXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1966 No. 68 For 'Protection' Students Urged To 'Organize mmi By ANNETTE BUCHANAN Staff Writer Students were urged "to organ ize in order to protect their in terests and to improve the qual ity of higher education” by sev eial speakers at the Free Speech Platform Monday afternoon. Cary and Marvin Feuerberg, b senator-at large candidates, began the session by outlining their platform of educational reform. Other speakers included Spencer Block, candidate for senator at large, and Kobin Tuttle, candidate for freshmen women's dorm rep resentative. Miss Tuttle supported the views expressed by the other speakers and added that she is interested in low-cost housing. Things Unpredictable Cary Feuerberg first pointed out that students cannot rely on faculty or administration to pro tect their interests: "You can’t predict their ac tion," he said. "Keith Goldham mer unexpectedly turned against the students and helped to defeat the Mosser Plan Clark Kerr was interested in students but he tried to regulate campus activities at Berkeley" Therefore, he con eluded, the students must organ ize to protect themselves and the quality of education. The Feuerbergs' main interest is faculty evaluation forms which will be distributed spring term University President Arthur S. Flemming has promised to con sider the results of an evalua tion in terms of salary and tenure in 1967 Faculty evaluation forms are Poll Workers Needed Poll workers are needed for the ASUO primary elections Wednesday. Tom Clark, ASUO vice-pres ident, said Monday that work ers must sign up for at least two hours work between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m Persons interested should call ext, 1836. A mandatory meeting for all poll workers will be held at 6:30 p.m. today in the Student Union. Polling booths will be at Car son Hall quad, Student Union, Commonwealth Hall and 150 Science. [ also used at the University of Washington, Harvard, Yale, Stan ford, and other schools. However they do not affect promotion, tenure, or salary. The brothers pointed out that students must make sure the evaluations are actually used. "The administration is subject to outside pressures. The faculty is subject to academic pressures. Only the students can ensure the quality of education," they said. The two were careful to em phasize that research also has its place "The graduate departments are expanding. This means re search but it also means more funds," said Marvin Feuerberg. Good Teaching "We still support promotion on the basis of research, but pro motion on the basis of good teach ing is also necessary,” he added Gary Feuerberg proposed a 'learned scholar in residence, someone like Mark Van Doren,” to be paid by the student body. This person would then be avail able to all students. He also suggested raising the salary of the Emerald editor— to improve the quality of the paper and make it consistent— and the salary of the student body president, because it is a full time job. Then Marvin Feuerberg out lined his plan for "student-spon sored research on educational in novations Curriculum Improvement He wants to examine the possi bilities of improving the curricu lum The objective is to find out what other schools are doing and decide if it will work at the Uni versity Specific plans can then be sub mitted to the faculty. The Fcuerbergs do not support any specific proposals. They plan to wait for the research results. Some of the suggestions they wish to explore include: • pass or fail grades in physi cal education. • pass or fail grades in classes outside the major area. • pass or fail grades in all low er division classes, and • more five hour courses to provide greater intensity. The speakers were questioned on how they plan to finance their proposals. They pointed out that the Student Union Budget in cludes about $800,000 and said: "There is lots of money.

Johnson said he decided to re ! sume bombing because North | Viet Nam had reacted unfavor ably to his peace proposals. He said the lull had permitted the steady infiltration of men and equipment from North Viet Nam into the combat zones in the South, endangering American, Vietnamese, and allied lives. Secretary of State Dean Rusk said that the U.S. has made an ☆ W FSC to Protest Bomb Renewal President Johnson’s Monday decision to resume bombing in North Viet Nam has engendered a week long series of demonstra tions in protest. At 12 10 Monday afternoon, a group from the University Fac ulty-Student Committee to Stop the War gathered and put up signs in front of the SU fishbowl, near the Free Speech platform, in the first of a series of "silent vigils" in protest against the administra : tion’s move. Another demonstration took place Monday at the Eugene office of the Selective Service, at 11th and Willamette streets. Three people took part. Similar vigils have been planned to be held through Friday. The vigils will begin at 7 a m. and last until 6 p.m. each day. The congregations will be at four locations: the Free Speech Plat form. the Selective Service Office, the United States Post Office at 520 Willamette Street, and at the Lane County Court House at 6th and Oak. The Post Office is the one federal building in the city of Eugene. On Wednesday, the Committee will have another table on the ( SU terrace. At that time literature will be handed out. and dona ! tions collected. Debate will be encouraged. At 8 p.m. Wednesday the Committee will hold an open forum on Viet Nam in room 3, Fenton Hall. Two faculty members from the Committee and two students will present their views on the issue. Each will be allowed five minutes to state their case. The floor will then be opened for further discussion and argument. A protest march will take place Saturday, beginning at 10:30 a m. at the Free Speech Platform. The route for the parade has not been announced as yet, but it will end in the park blocks near the courthouse downtown. Upon reaching the park block, the assembly will hear four speakers: the Rev. Carl Nelson of the First Unitarian Church in Eugene; Eugene attorney and former congressional representative Charles O. Porter; David Aberle of the University, formerly the chairman of the Committee; and Clyde DeBerry, chariman of the Eugene chapter of CORE. No comment was available from any of the committee concern ing President Johnson’s plan to take the Viet Nam question to the United Nations Security Council. SNACK' Given Tentative Okay The Student Publications Board approved increases in advertising rates for the Emerald Monday, to take effect Sept. 1, 1966. At an earlier meeting, the Board also gave "provisional ap proval” to an experimental stu dent publication to be called SNACK. SNACK, according to Spencer Block, sponsor of the magazine and a graduate student in edu-; cation, will be published "to pro vide stimulation of thought by presenting creative, original ' and/or well thought-out ideas and | opinions on subjects meaningful to its readers.” The magazine will be a four page, 8'2 by 11 inch offset pro duction and will sell for 10 cents per copy. The Board told Block to go ahead with one or two publica tions to test the idea, provided he could finance the first issues. Block said that he had "about $90 pledged” in subscriptions to fi nance the first issues. Literary contributions for SNACK will be solicited from in terested students and faculty on campus. In a special meeting Monday, the Board approved a hike in local display advertising rates from $1.12 to SI.26. and from $1.40 to $1.54 for national dis play ads. for the Emerald. Louie Abramson, Emerald busi ness manager, said the new rates would be in line with those of other college newspapers with circulations comparable to the Emerald. The Board also discussed the need for a new press for the Emerald, and the possibility of charging faculty and staff a small fee for the paper. Faculty and staff now receive the Emerald free, while students subsidize part of the Emerald expense with student fee appro priations. Burt Benson, publications di rector, said the cost of providing Emeralds to faculty and staff offices was running "close to $4,000 per year.” Both questions were referred for further study and will be raised again at the Board’s next regular meeting. offer fo North Viet Nam to ex tend the bombing lull if North Viet Nam would respond to the President’s peace offensive with a gesture of its own. But reactions from Hanoi were negative, harsh, and unyielding.” He said Hanoi had rebuffed every effort at peace and that the Pres ident’s 'senior arvisors.” who first recommended the bombing lull and peace drive, now rec ommended that the bombing be resumed. "We do not regret the pause in bombing,” said Johnson. “We yield to none in our determina tion to seek peace. We have giv en a full and decent respect to the opinion of those who thought such a pause might give new hope for peace. Now we have paused for twice the time sug gested by some who urged it. Now the world knows more clear ly than ever before who insists on aggression.” Pursuit Not Ended But, he added, "The end of peace does not mean the end of our own pursuit of peace.” fie said he hopes the decision to go to the U N. would “open the way to the conference table.” He endorsed a weekend peace appeal from Pope Paul VI which suggested that neutral nations * ■ Student Deferment Problems Male students whose grades were adversely affected fall term by extenuating circum stances, such as lengthy III i ness, should report these cir cumstances to their local draft board when returning their GPA forms, according to Bob Bowlin, Dean of Men at the University.

Rusk said the role of neutral countries to explore pos sible negotiations "would be en tirely agreeable and welcomed by the United States.” Johnson's request to the Secur ity Council asked that the de bate be held "without pre-condi tions.” Diplomats Surprised The maneuver caught U.N. dip lomats by surprise. U.S. officials were pessimistic about the chanc es that the U.N. would succeed where the "quiet diplomacy” of the President’s "peace offensive” has failed. On the fighting front, Navy and Air Force planes braved heavy ground fire to resume bombing. They hit North Viet namese military and communica tions targets just across the bor i der that separates North and South Viet Nam. U.S. military officials in Sai gon said the bombing will be carried out in "measured fash ion" against military targets. Bombing of industrial centers such as Hanoi and Haiphong is not planned. They said air oper ations in the South will be ex panded and U.S. ground forces increased.
