Flemming that train ees at the University’s Tongue Point Job Corps Center should be moved into the stall living area. Kay Hawk, University director of federal government relations, called erroneous wire service re ports that Olds had sent a letter to Flemming recommending t h e change Wives of 88 staff members signed a petition earlier this month objecting to the proposed move Many said they were afraid of having the Corpsmen living so close. Olds called their objec tions absurd There has been no decision one way or the other on the change. Olds and Flemming met over the weekend, but they talk ed mostly about the Center’s bud get, only a little on the pro posed trainee move. Olds took that budget for the 19Bfi - 87 fiscal year to Washington, D C , Sunday for review. Hawk told tin* Eugene Register Cuard an immediate decision is "not likely." He said. "The whole thing needs more study." There is room for only 900 trainees at the training station The trainee number is supposed to hit 1,000 but OEO has sug gested that it might be raised to 1,250 Hawk said that's what caused the speculation about moving the trainees He said increasing the number beyond 900 would require Bookstore Closed Tuesday, Wednesday The University Co-op's book store will be closed today and Wednesday. It will be open for business again on Thursday. The closure is necessary, in order to move books into the second floor of the Co-op’s new addition, which will be opened Thursday. The first floor of the new addition will not be open until early in spring term. building additional housing or using some of the staff quarters. The staff is housed in the offi cers' quarter at the one-time naval station. Those quarters are now partially empty. They’re located on the “heights” above the Cen ter. If trainees were housed in that area they would have to bo taken to the Center by shuttle buses. Hawk said it is uncertain whether this would cost more than build ing new facilities. He said there are "other program factors” in volved as well. The final decision, according to Hawk, will have to be made by OKO, since they finance the Cen ter. Hemming will make no rec ommendation to OKO until he has studied further possible expan sion of the Center Parking Area Changed Effective Monday, the north bay of the Student Parkins lot at the Physical Plant has been changed to University of Ore gon Motor Pool Cars only.

Rest Questionable Stadium Drive Near Million A fund drive to finance a foot ball .stadium for the University will probably reach its SI million goal in the next week or 10 days. What happens after is still un certain. The drive reached $905,000 Monday. Lynn McCready, chair man of the campaign drive, told the Emerald Monday “we will reach the million — probably within a week or -10 days.” He said reports of additional pledges from committees in var ious communities around the state are still coming in. “We Co-ed Says She Didn't Plan To Jump off Roof An 18-year-old University co ed, who police said they talked out of jumping from a roof, said Monday that she “went out on the roof to cry.” She said she never intended to jump. City police told the Eugene Register-Guard they were called to University House at 791 E. 15th Ave. at 3:35 a.m. Sunday. They said a patrolman went to a third floor window and talked to the girl through a window for about five minutes before she agreed to come back in. The Register-Guard said the fire department had also been called in case the girl decided to jump. The girl told the Emerald Monday that she wanted to be alone, so she went out on the roof to cry. “Some people came by and they thought I was going to jump (Continued on page 2) have contributions from nearly every community in the state,” he added. The pledges are being made in multiples of SI,000. Donors get two scats for each SI.000 they contribute in a special section of the stadium. Those seats will be good for 25 years. McCready said his group plans to "close off" the drive after they reach their $1 million goal. "That’s our agreement with the president,” he said, referring to University President Arthur S. Flemming. That will leave the stadium still S450.000 short of the S2.23 million needed for the stadium as it is now planned The athletic department will contribute its $800,000 reserve to the project. \\ hen the drive for the stadium was announced, University spokesmen said that $425,000 was Flemming's commitment to the project. He has indicated that he hoped the fund drive would go over SI million. He said he hoped that smaller donations would make up pprt of the $450,000 and has also sug gested that another sponsor sec tion might be opened up for those who wish to make smaller donations. One possibility, which Flem ming has said is his last alterna tive. is an across-the-board raise jn admission prices. This would include students, who presently pay no admission charges. The athletic department gets a sub sidy from student fees. Flemming has indicated that no student fees will be used for the stadium, ex cept w'hat has already been used to help make up that athletic de partment surplus. Flemming will also make a re port to the State Board of High er Education next week on pro gress for the stadium plans. Ar chitects Skidmore, Ovvings, and .Merrill have prepared a "con (Continucd on page 2) PL-3 Creates 1More Personal University Thousands Able to Share University Events Whether There or Not editor's Note: This is the first of a series on all of the forms of educa tional television now in use in the state of Oregon—closed-circuit, instruc tional, and open circuit. By NOMI BORENSTEIN Assistant Managing Editor Think back to two days last January when 6,000 people crowded into the Stu dent Union to hear the four speakers in the ASUO Poverty Conference. It was one of the biggest campus events of the year, but if you lived in town, you probably didn't go. Even if you were a student who wanted to go, you probably never quite made it. There were too many other people, all that mess, all that confusion—so you stayed home. But you could have seen the whole conference without leaving that com fortable chair in your living room, thanks to the University’s experiment in closed circuit television—Private Line Three. CLOSER IDENTIFICATION PL-3, as it is commonly called, is not instructional TV. It is not even educa tional TV. What it is, according to its creator John Shepperd, associate profes sor of speech, is an attempt to give stu dents a closer identification with their university, through the use of television. "As you can see,” says Bill Willingham, program director, "this is the usual in structional bit—a better name for it would be CTV, cultural television." On PL-3 University students, stall and subscribers to the ABAR cable, have a chance to see past TV documentaries, a re-run of the nine o'clock class you slept through this morning, films, seminars, interviews with distinguished visitors to the campus, movies of last year’s foot ball games, news-roundups such as the student produced program, "Seven Days in May,” originally produced music and drama—in fact, just about anything re flecting the spirit of University life and activities. PREVENT FERMENT Shepperd, who has been in educa tional broadcasting for 16 years explains: "Much of the ferment which took place on the Berkeley campus last year re sulted from the impersonal image the students had of their school. We don't want this to happen at Oregon and that’s one of the reasons we started PL-3. "Nothing like it is being done any where else,” continued Shepperd—whose exuberance for PL-3 clashes with the stereotype of the behavior you would expect fro ma 44-year old professor. "By sharing experiences through television the students can develop more personal ties with the Llniversity. "Take the Poverty Conference, for in stance. What about the kids who had to be turned away because there wasn't enough room or the kid that had mid terms or a paper and couldn’t go even though he wanted to. "Here's where PL-3 could have per formed a real service. We could have shown those films on TV. Then thou sands of students—and people in Eu gene. too—could have watched and dis cussed them. "This is my whole point: They could have shared an experience.” FINALLY A REALITY After many years as a professor's dream, PL-3 is now a reality. Here's how it works: The University's TV system is con nected by cables to television sets placed in the dorms and in some classrooms. The programs come in over unused chan nel 3, hence the name PL-3. Last term, to accommodate the grow ing number of ofl'-campus students and to give the people in town a chance to see what was going on at the Univer sity, the system was connected to the ABAR cable which services the Eugene Springficld area. (Because of technical requirements, home viewers will find that PL-3 in Channel 11.) What kind of shows can you expect to see on PL-3? Any kind. There are no programming restrictions for PL-3, an-1 the station is not as concerned with ratings” as most commercial stations are. AN ARTISTIC SCREEN Shepperd said that PL-3 is a good place for the screening of original plajs with young actors. "This is in line with the President’s Arts Council. There aren’t many places where unknown play wrights screen their plays.” Willingham aired the documentary, “Superfluous People,” last term. This show, he said, was enthusiastically re ceived by sociology professors, who rec ommended that their classes watch the film on under privileged minorities. He hopes to schedule Edward R. Mur row’s “Harvest of Shame," on NBC White Paper on the death of Stalin, and a film that one history professor things wil help his class to understand the causes of the Viet Nam crisis. It is outside assignments like these— ones which will supplement class work without taking up any of the profes sor’s valuable class time—that are the bread and butter of PL-3. This year. S> films requested by various departments have been shown. Since its start fall term, PL-3 has leaned more and more towards programs (Continued on page 2)
