iughlighted report* from discus
sion groups given at the business
meeting of the Oregon Dads Sat
urday, during the 39th annual
Dads' Day at the University.
John l.uvaas, Eugene attorney
and moderator of a discussion on
"The University's Hole and re
sponsibility with Respect to Mo
rale, Conduct, and Manners," told
the group of 120 dads that the
debate ended in a stalemate The
group had introduced a motion
to oppose any changes in closing
hours, but was forced to table
it.
“We were all over the field in
how we felt about closing hours,"
l.uvaas said. "There was a large
group that felt we should put
the door back on the barn Oth
ers wanted to remove all clos
ing hours for women, with paren
tal permission."
Continue to Work
l.uvaas said the group derided
that the dads should continue
working with the Conduct Com
mittee, President Flemming, and
the University Moms in solving
the problem
The committee on "Academic
Freedom and Responsibility" was
something of a “surprise," ac
cording to moderator Hoy Vcrn
strom of Portland ' We had to
find out what academic freedom
was," Vern .trom explained, "and
we were very surprised when
student freedom was brought up,
and that professors are now ac
countable to defend their posi
tions " Vernstrom said most par
ents had conceived of academic
freedom as being mostly “pro
fessional freedom."
Right to Teach
He said the group decided that
such freedom does Include t h c
right to teach without fear of
outside pressure, but that faculty
members should not inject their
own "idealistic lines" concerning
issues outside the classroom.
Otto Vonderheit. Eugene attor
ney and moderator of the discus
sion on the quality of undergrad
uate teaching, expressed great
satisfaction with the work now
being done toward improvement:
"Thu administration is defi
nitely concerned with improving
undergraduate teaching The stu
dent committee has done a lot of
work in preparing the evaluation
forms, and we can probably an
ticipate benefits from it"
Finances Reviewed
The dads also heard reports
from five other discussions:
• Charley Holloway, President
of the State Hoard of Higher Edu
cation, who presided over a dis
cussion on the financing of high
er education, said that during the
discussion lie personally review
ed the Board's financial machin
ery, and its problems with the
state legislature.
• Dave Williams of Eugene,
reporting from the discussion on
student life, said that “there
aren’t as many sleeping in cars as
we thought,” and that the group
felt, as a result of discussion, that
students were in good hands, both
physically and socially, at the
University.
• Ted Llndley of Klamath
Kails, leader of the discussion on
inter collegiate athletics, pointed
out that no action had been tak
en on a recommendation, made
during the discussion last year
that two per cent of all entering
freshmen at the University not
be required to meet entrance re
quirements.
The group’s main concern is
out-of-state students required to
have a 2.75 GPA before entering,
who arc potential athletes. It had
passed a resolution that would
lower the requirement to a 26
GPA for certain out-of-state stu
dents.
• Dwayne Laffcrty reported,
from the discussion on “The Uni
varsity in 1971” that projected
1971 enrollment was about 16,000 |
and that about one third of that:
number would be at the gradu-!
ate level.
Advising Considered
• Lloyd Milhollen, assistant
superintendent of schools in Eu
gene, reported from the discus
sion on The Changing Commu
nity.” He emphasized the need
for better advising provisions and j
mentioned the University’s plans
to expand advising this year in!
preparation for enrollment next
fall.
In other business, outgoing
Dads’ President George Mim
naugh announced the decision of
the club's executive committee to
earmark one-third of the club's
funds for aid to students be
yond the freshman level.
