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.

Grape Workers
Offered Yofe
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—The
Big Di Giorgio Corp. proposed
Thursday that its vineyard work
ers decide in an election
whether they want to be repre
sented by the Farm Workers Un
ion now staging a 300 • mile
protest march to the state capi
tol.
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'...

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.

ice to continue his investigations
into the hormonal control of the
salt and water balance in frogs.
