YAF, SWINE Bicker YR's Re-Elect Powell As Conservatives Clash By AJVNKTTK Hl,( IIANAN SUIT Writer University Young Republicans re elected Don Powell, a junior in political science, as club pres ident in a 2Vi-hour meeting Thursday night. The various conservative fac tions on campus, from Young Americans for Freedom to Stu dents Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything, clashed dur ing the candidates' question and answer sessions. And some of their representatives gained posi tions in the YR club. Other new officers include Gene Hazel, executive vice chairman: Tom Mosher, vice-chairman in charge of public relations; Hruce Lecturer Speaks On Solar Energy Uses and limitations of solar energy will be discussed by Far rington Daniels, 1965-66 National Lecturer at 8 p.m. tonight in room 16 Science. Daniels is National Lecturer for the Society of Sigma Xi and its affiliated society, The Scien tific Research Society of Ameri ca (RESA). The program, which is open to the public, is free. In his lecture, "Direct Use of the Sun’s Energy,” Daniels will consider the use of solar energy as a source of fuel in sunny areas of the world where fuel is scarce. He will discuss the progress of research done in using the sun's radiation for such operations as water and house heating, cooking, refrigeration and air cooling and the distillation of salt water. Daniels has been active in re search of solar energy applica tions since his retirement as chairman of the chemistry de partment at the University of Wisconsin in 1959. Law School Alums Set Executive Meeting The executive committee of the University Law .School Alumni Association will meet at 10 a m. Saturday at Fenton Hall. John R. Gilbertson, Portland, president of the committee, will preside. During the meeting, the com mittee will consider its program for the year. There will also be, reports on the scholarship pro- j gram and the plans for a new legal center to be established at1 the University. Gerhart, vice-chairman in charge of programs; and Anne Robinson, secretary-treasurer. Jim Hill, freshman in political science from Atlanta, opposed Powell for the presidency. Hill emphasized his conservatism and admitted having once been a member of the John Birch Society ! in Georgia. "1 was a member from the I middle of 1004 to the middle of 1965,” said Hill, “because the Society was helping support Gold water " He did point out that he has not joined the Society in Oregon. Powell was elected on a plat form espousing unified, respon sible Republicanism. Calling him self a “tagless Republican,’’ he said, “I am liberal on the civil rights issue but conservative on the Viet Nam question.” largest Group Under Powell’s leadership in the past year, the club has grown to be the largest campus politi cal organization in the state. Hazel defeated Ed Davis for his office. At this point the elec-1 tions were still being conducted in a fairly orderly manner. The candidates were questioned ex tensively about National Student Association, the Civil Rights Act of 1904, and Viet Nam. In the election of a public re lations vice-chairman, the PR chairman of SWINE defeated SWINE Grand Boar Randy Gragg. Grand was questioned ex tensively about the other politi cal offices he holds. The Grand Boar answered that he is chairman of YAF, co-chair man of Citizens for Viet Nam, and of course, a SWINE. Gerhart vs. Hill Gerhart defeated Hill for the program vice-chairman office. Miss Robinson defeated Steve Lamb for the secretary-treasurer position. Lamb did not take his nomination too seriously, com menting that perhaps “sacrificial” should be his first name. In other business, members were urged to attend the Oregon Republican College League Con vention in Salem April 15-16. The convention has been entitled “A Voice of Dissent.” It is designed to serve as a forum for student dissent with the Johnson "con sensus” as well as a vehicle for the expression of constructive di rection ' for the United States government. Registration blanks are avail able from Don Powell, ext. 1594. or Bill Lesh, 555 E. 14th Ave. The blanks should be completed and returned by Tuesday. SU Board Members Hear Compromise A compromise of all proposals suggested during the first two days of Student Union Board hearings regarding the selection of future Boards, was presented to the Board Thursday by chair man Dick Lawrence and member Art Tarlow. The compromise pian calls for (1) four out of the total 18 members being elected by the student body; (2) guaranteeing the ASUO four positions; (3) four carryover members each year; (4) 218 per cent of the mem bers coming from the College of Liberal Arts, 17 per cent from the Graduate School, and 22 per cent elected by all-campus elec tion. The proposal also calls for three at-large positions which may be filled by either upper- or under classmen, two faculty members appointed by the President of the University, five representatives from the College of Liberal Arts (one of whom may be elected in the spring of his freshman year in order to serve during his sophomore year), three graduate school representatives, and one representative from the remain ing professional schools. Main point of debate, accord ing to Lawrence, centered around the all-campus election of repre sentatives. Lawrence said there was also "some debate” concern ing whether all the professional schools should have only one representative. “Only a few students attended the hearings,” Lawrence told the Emerald, "but I think we got a lot out of them. The proposal we (Tarlow and himself) submitted today contained, we think, the best of what we discussed. "Some of the people who came had pretty strong objections to some points, but I think every body went away reasonably happy.” Next item on the Board's agen da, is an executive meeting next week to determine whether or not it is realistic to make changes for next year, and which changes can be made. Full Board approv al will be necessary before any changes can take effect. CAN VAN HEUSEN VANOPRES! SAVE THIS ROMANCE? J He sure was handsome. But what frum'py shirts!

The Eugene Water fc Electric Hoard has negotiated a contract with Clarke Electric Company, Eugene, to install street light ing in the area by May 5. T h c company has been working on the lighting project, a part of the East Campus Urban Renewal Project, since March 21. General boundaries of the street lighting project are Moss Street on the east; Agate Street on the west; 17th Street on the south; and Franklin Boulevard on the north. All wiring to the street lights will be underground, up to the utility poles. Richard L. Soder berg, executive director of the Eugene Urban Renewal Agency, said that the underground wiring will probably set an example for future lighting for the rest of the campus. A total of 32 fluorescent lights will illuminate the east campus area when the project is finished. Cost of the completed street lighting project will be $34,00#, Creese's Book Set For April Release A 347-page book with 130 il lustrations by Dean Walter Creese of the University’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts will be released during April by the Yale University Press. It will be published simultaneously at New Haven and London and in Canada by McGill University. Called "The Search for En vironment.’’ the book deals crit ically with the impact of the industrial revolution on cities and towns and architecture since the late 18th century. It discusses 20th century towns as well as the early 19th century model villages. Creese has lately finished a book on planning history for the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology Press. He has also been working for some years with a co-author at Harvard University, on a history of landscape architec ture.

The next project in the East Campus Renewal Project will be the planting of grass. Weather permitting, planting will begin soon, Soderbcrg stated. He said that if the weather is cooperative and if vandals re strain themselves from walking on the grass too soon, lawns will be growing well in the east cam pus area within a month. Sodcrberg reports that vandals have stolen or broken four $40 pedestrian lights in the Agate St. parking area within the past month. Cohen Returns From Minnesota Melvin J.
