Photo by Shota Ushio After Week of Debate Peace March Held Saturday By LARRY LANGE Assistant News Editor A week long series of debates and demonstrations at the Uni versity, in protest of the resumption of bombing in North Viet Nam by the United States, culminated Saturday as some 300 people marched from the SU terrace through downtown Eugene in a display of their opposition to the renewed attacks. The march was led from the University by Mary Hamilton, gradu ate in psychology and Joseph Jorgensen, assistant professor of anthropology, co-chairmen of the University Faculty-Student Com mittee to Stop the War in Viet Nam. The Committee had organized the march. GATHERED IN HALF AN HOUR The group gathered on the terrace at 10:30 a m., left at 11:00, and marched down 13th Avenue, Kincaid, East Eleventh, down Oak Street to the Court House Park Block, then back up Willamette and 13th to the University. About 200 of the demonstrators remained in the march for the return trip. The procession moved with the traffic lights, and stretched for five blocks, broken into block-long segments at each corner as the marchers watched the signals. Traffic was held up for four blocks behind the marchers on E. 11th Flags were on display on Oak and Willamette Streets for the occasion. Complete protection was given the group by Eugene Police patrol cars, and a police motorcycle squad. CITIZENS WATCH Eugene citizens stared from windows, opened their doors and strolled onto front laws, and shoppers paused on downtown side walks to watch the demonstrators. Verbal observations were varied: *i think they oughta put every damn one of ’em in a uniform,” said a resident of E. 11th, puffing on a cigarette. "I think it's just a matter of people putting forth what they think," said an elderly man on the corner of Broadway and Oak. “I don't particularly agree with them, but what they're doing is all right." At that same moment, a man cried to the marchers from behind an open tavern door: “Get outa here, you stupid jerks!” COULDN’T SEE ACCOMPLISHMENTS One woman, standing near the Park Block, shook her head and commented, "l can't see what they're accomplishing.” Another woman in the area shrugged, “I think everybody’s entitled to a point of view. If they want to march, they can.” “I think they’re just un washed,” remarked a third woman. "If I was a professor, I'd be ashamed to lead them. I think many of them are afraid of the draft,” she added. A youth on Willamette Street said, “I think they should have bigger marches. I think we should get out of Viet Nam.” He was on crutches, due to a knee injury, but added that he would take part in such a march if he could. The marchers carried a variety of signs: “There is Peace if you want it”; “Negotiation, not escalation”; "Don’t kill Asians in my name”; “Our war is in Mississippi, not in Viet Nam.” Some led small children by the hand. A few women in the procession pushed infants along the street in stollers. A sign—"I (Continued on page 7) Women to Be Allowed To Visit Men s Houses F.fTective Feb. 15. women will be allowed to visit in University related men’s living organizations without violating the Student Conduct Code. This includes men's dormitories, fraternities, and cooperatives. The Student Conduct Commit tee. by a 3-2 vote, repealed section IIf.B.2. of the Code, which says: "Women may only visit in Univer sity related men’s housing when accompanied by an appropriate chaperone or when house- moth ers or head residents in residence are present . . This decision will not go into effect until Feb. 15 to all'-w dormitory officials to prepnv. for the change. According to Bob Carl, student member of the Committee who made the original motion, section lli.B.2. of the Code is unneces sary because another rule in the Code already forbids members of the opposite sex from entering sleeping areas. Up to Each Unit Wendell Basye, chairman of the Conduct Committee, pointed out that it would be up to the men in individual dormitories and liv ing organizations to make up their own rules regarding visiting hours and that these rules should he approved by the Committee if the units expect University assistance in enforcing them. Considerable debate arose as to whether the Committee should go ahead and vote on the issue at this meeting, due to a request that any acfToft he postponed un til the Inter-Dorm Council could make its suggestion. Dan Williams, director of Dor mitory Personnel, told the Com mittee that this group had been formed fall term to investigate the matter of visiting hours in the dormitories. Williams said a poll had been taken of opinions of dormitory residents, and that his group was nearly ready to make a recommendation to the Conduct Committee. He said he hated to see the I existing rule repealed until the! dormitories had had time to work out their own rules regarding: visiting hours and until they had come up with a “working pol icy.” “Stealing Thunder” Part of the debate among Com mittee members was over the dan ger of "stealing the thunder” of the dormitory students who had taken the initiative to do this re search. possibly destroying their desire to work in student activi ties. The other side of the discus- j sion was that the Committee “wouldn’t get anything done” if it had to wait on the working nut of administration procedures Discussion Set In Annual HC Assembly The annual Honors College As sembly at 7 p m. today in 123 Sci ence, will be devoted to general discussion of the purposes which underlie an Honors program.

Dull to Lecture On Asia Today The admission of Communist China to the United Nations is not just a matter of recognition by the United States, according to Paul S. Dull, professor of his tory at the University and a rcc ognized authority on Asian pro grams. Dull will speak on "Tho \sian Dilemma and the United Na tions,” at 7:30 p.m. today in the PAUL DULL Expert on Asia Student Union, sponsored by the University Asian Society. The public is invited. In the address, Dull will re peat, in part, a talk he gave in Canada in late January before a seminar at Brandon College. The seminar, which drew leading Asian authorities, was held in cooperation with the Brandon branch of the United Nations As sociation. It was entitled "Explo sive Orient” The dilemma that faces not only the United States but all of the western powers and China’s Asian neighbors, Dull explains, is that "China must be brought into the United Nations to pre vent the real possioility of World War III, but to do so now the United Nations, by terms of a zealously revolutionary and con fident China, would have to be changed to such an extent that it might not be acceptable not only to the United States but also to the other western powers.” Dull points out that on the ba sis of evidence, the power of es tablishing normal relations lies with Communist China. sMiiiiiiimiimmiuiuimiinuiiiiiiiuuuuiuiuuHHfmnituiifO E Index | Editorials .page 6 § | Classified . page 7 | | Campus Briefs .page 7 | | Sports .page 5 1 sniiiimiimmiuiinmmmniHmiiinninMimmriiiiimiiiiiiMmimn.iiuinii^i.iaiuiaP for all the proposals before vot ing During the voting. Bob Carl rpiestioned the right of Chairman Wendell Basye to vote or to sec ond motions. The question was resolved after the meeting when Basye, a pro fessor of law, assured Carl that he had a right to vote in this situa tion because of the size of the Committee and due to the way in which the Committee was es tablished. In other business Friday the Committee considered a draft of n proposed amendment to rule l-D of the Code, which deals with group offenses. The proposal would spell out the University’s position on the consumption of alcohol or use of narcotics drugs by minors. If passed, the plan would in effect prohibit planned beer busts’’ or cocktail hours,” whe ther on campus or off, which would involve minors. Only Rules Basye pointed out that the only rules now in the Code are against individuals. The section deals with possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages on Univer sity property or University-con trolled property, and drinking which results in disorderly con duct. • There are no sanctions for a minor violating a law himself, downtown or under the Code.” j Basye said. "And in my proposal there is nothing imposing any | sanctions on the individual pre venting individuals from drink ing. whether minors „r not.” Basye said the Code is wise in says the University imposes sanctions only when the activity of the student interferes with one of the responsibilities of the (Continued on (ope 2) NOREEN, scheduled to “dance, move and crank" at a Student Union Friday-at-Four appear ance, shows her talents.
