Bill Tabled... (Continued from fage 1) But Henry Drummonds, also a senator-at-large, said he felt that the Senate wasn’t informed well enough that it could make a de cision yet. "Don’t Know” “This thing is something most senators don’t know enough about. I don’t think we’re ready to work yet,” he said. Chuck Pruitt spoke for the bill: “What we’re really talking about is the basic concept of the Sen ate, about whether we're really ready to assert ourselves. “The Senate should be the most powerful group on campus," he continued. “By letting this bill ride, we're not in a good bar gaining position. “I’d like to see us placed in a position of making decisions on this campus—I’d like to place them (the Board) in a position where they never could make a decision." Drummonds moved that the bill be tabled, arguing that “Other groups are interested. If you want to be a representative body,” he told the others, "you must in volve everybody.” He said that the University SDS has boycotted the Board’s hearings this week, and he asked for a delay, in order that that group could be heard, as well as others who had some thing to say. The Seriate had to vote four times in order to decide what to do with the motion. The first question, as to whe ther to vote on the motion, failed by one vote to gain the necessary two-thirds majority. Drummond’s motion to table the bill failed to get a majority. A third motion, to vote on the bifl, also failed to get the ma jority. Second Motion Finally, Skip Clemens made a second motion to lay the bill aside. This one made it 14 to 11, no abstentions. At that point, more than hall the senators present left the meet ing, heading for the Don Duncan speech in the SU ballroom, up stairs. Drummonds said after the meet ing that he was very concerned about the communication prob lem in the solution of the con troversy. “Most of these people knew about this bill for only 15 minutes,” he said. “And most of them don’t know enough about what the Board’s been doing to really discuss the issue.” He admitted, however, that those senators should have known more about fhe issue. Sernas, co-author of the bill, was gloomy about its rejection: “I am sorry to find out that senators are so unaware of one of the major issues of the year on this campus, and so afraid of asking for authority. I am also sorry that some senators are putting political ambitions ahead of the, students’ interests,” he added. “If the senate is ever going to be effective on this campus, it must stop cowering in a corner and assert itself.” In earlier action, the Senate j heard another bill introduced by i r Beat, a resolution that the Uni versity should continue it mem bership in the U.S. National Stu dents Association (NSA). “The YAF’s (University Young Americans for Freedom) have started their annual spring cam paign to get the University out of the NSA,” Beat remarked. "I thought that we could save them the trouble of collecting all those names for a referendum .” NSA The question of putting the NSA question on a general elec tion ballot this spring then arose. Tom Paige said he favored put ting the question on the ballot. “It'll give us a chance to find out how the students feel about it. It’ll give us a definite deci sion to refer to.” Sernas answered Paige: “You have a definite position—it (NSA) was voted in three years ago. How many decisions do you need?” The resolution was passed, 22 to 6, no abstentions. In other business the Senate: • Heard a report from Chuck Pruitt that the Senate’s recom mendation for an investigation of living organizations to unearth racial discrimination had been taken to President Flemming. Pruitt said that no action has been taken on the recommenda tion, but that Flemming and Ore gon State University President James Jensen may set up a joint committee to look into the prob lem. “They’ll probably have to, be ing with the Sigma Chi’s,” Pruitt said, “because of their national policy on discrimination.” ASUO Vice-President Tom Clark said that Flemming was “in total support of the recom mendation, but that it was un clear who would initiate the ac tual proceedings. Clark said that the President's office was not willing to under take an investigation of Univer sity living organizations. • Unanimously passed a bill presented by Scott Farleigh for the Campus Planning Commit tee asserting that “current recre ational facilities (at the Univer sity) are grossly inadequate," and recommending that plans for re creational development be placed on all budget priority lists. Farleigh said that the current state budget for recreation in the system of higher education— $45,000—is less than 3 per cent of the total budget. Present plans for the construc tion of another swimming pool, a rugby field, and tennis courts, will not be implemented until 1969. The committee wants the new recreations facilities includ ed—along with class rooms and research facilities—in all long - range planning for the University. • Received a list of Eugene gas stations now offering student discounts under Lee Bollinger’s new program.

The union struck Di Giorgio and other growers seven months ago, demanding recognition. Reacting to Thursday’s propo sal, a union spokesman declured that a vote by the more than 1,000 workers now employed at Di Giorgio’s two Delano area grape-growing properties would give the choice to strikebreakers. Di Giorgio’s proposal came one day after Schenley Industries an nounced recognition of the inde pendent National Farm Workers Association as bargaining agent for its vineyard workers. This was the first such recognition of the NFWA by any employer. Di Giorgio is the biggest and Schenley the second largest em ployer in the rich grape growing district in Kern and Tulare counties at the south end of Cali fornia’s San Joaquin valley. Robert Di Giorgio, president of the fruit and food processing firm, detailed the election and bargaining proposal at a news conference in San Francisco. NFWA representatives attended as observers. Jack Ybarra, NFWA field rep resentative, said later that an election among the pickers he termed strikebreakers working for Di Giorgio “would seem out of place." Ybarra said the union's offi cial reaction would come from Cesar Chavez, Mexican - born NFWA chief now on a march be tween Stockton and Sacramen to. He said Chavez had not yet received Di Giorgio’s letter. 'Playboy'... (Continued from page 1) on an issue. If they do express themselves, they are laying them selves open to criticism and pos sible ridicule.” Returning to the ‘‘Playboy is sue,” Casey said that he opposed the sale of the magazine because he feels “that there are fewer ‘men’ who are contributing to society and that the magazine serves no purpose except push ing, enhancing and encouraging a philosophy which says it is all right to engage in any type of activity as long as it doesn’t in jure another human being ” Casey said that he isn’t against “sex per se, but I feel that it belongs in a certain context — mainly marriage.” He said that since the Issue was made public, he has re ceived one to two hundred let ters—and only that one person opposed his position. He said the letters were from many people— everything from seven year-old boys to parents, grandparents, and godparents. He said that he had thought— “maybe I was naive about the issue”—that the motion would pass. “I thought it would merely be brought up, discussed and passed,” he said, “but there was a lot of opposition to the motion within the Board.” In other business: The Board set the time of the Co-op’s annual meeting as 7 p.m, April 21, and urged all Co-op members to attend because the proposed new by-laws will be dis cussed at the meeting. • Authorized the Co-op mana ger to bovsdp up to $75,000 for working /Bpnal. Until it is time the manager was authorized to borrow up to $25,000 ea.-h at two different banks. • Approved the installation of a coin-operated Xerox duplicat ing machine in the basement of the new addition.
