Student Protests Not Widespread WASHINGTON (CPS)—Unreat among the? nation's college stu dents may not be as widespread as some believe, an ofllcinl of the education Testing Service of Princeton, N. J., told women deans and counselors in conven tion here last week Richard K Peterson, an associ ate research psychologist, con eluded from a nationwide study that despite the teach-ins, march cs, sit ins, lie-ins, riots, and draft card burning, the nation's col lege students are not "a bunch of red-eyed social reformers." The fact is, he said, that cam pus food ranked second only to civil rights as a trigger to stu dent protests in 1904(15, Demon strations against U.S. policy in Viet Nam barely beat out organ ized complaints against dress reg ulations as the third most fre quent cause of student demon strations. Rased on Returns Peterson's findings were based on a return of questionnaires from 850 deans at the nation’s 1,000 accredited four year colleges and universities. The deans were asked to indicate the extent of organized student protest for each of 27 educational, social, and political issues. Peterson said a majority of the deans did report some form of organized protest on their cam pus during I9M-85, but that stu dents protesting a single issue represented a very small percen Poll Predicts Romney For GOP Nomination Gov. George Romney of Michi gan is the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nom ination in 1968, according to a poll taken by the University Young Republican Club during spring term registration Some :i50 students—Republi cans, Democrats, and independ ents participated in the poll, the results of which were released at a meeting of the YR executive hoard Thursday The poll asked two questions: "Who do you think will get the nomination?" and "Who would you like to get the nomination?” The tabulated results give the respon *es among Republicans and among all groups. The Republicans preferred Romney while the over all fig ures backed Mayor John Lindsay of New York. But both groups predicted a Romney victory at the GOP convention. In fact, the over all predictions paralleled the Republicans with one execution: the positions of Rockefeller and GoMwatcr were reversed The Republicans pre dieted: Romney, Nixon, Scran ton, Lindsay, Reagan, Goldwater, Rockefeller, and Hatfield, in that order.

Portland to Get Womens' Corps PORTLAND (AP)—A woman’s Job Corps training center may be in operation by July at Judson Baptist College on Rocky Butte in northeast Portland. The Rev. Donald Reid, chair man of the board and acting president of the college, said Monday night that the Job Corps nas approved the site, hut is con sidering other locations. The intent of the college, Rev. Reid said, is to sell the property and move to a more adequate site. He said the college is now oper ating at a capacity of 120 stu dents. George McCauley, a resident of Cadet Street on the west slope of Rocky Butte, said that a meeting has been arranged for tonight be tween him and nine other resi dents and a .Job Corps representa tivc. McCauley said the home-own ers are seeking full information on the Job Corps plans before deciding what attitude to take. McCauley said he was told the center is to become operative in July, with some 150 trainees. The number of trainees would ulti mately increase to 450, McCauley said he was told. The two year liberal arts col lege took over the location ten years ago. Up to that time it had been Hill Military Academy.

No school reported a protest that in cluded more than eight per cent of the student population and that top figures involved dormi tory or other living arrange ments. Among the colleges and univer sities surveyed, 38 per cent re ported protests over civil rights. Yet these demonstrations involved only 0 per cent of the students. Next came the food protests (25 per cent), with only about 7 per cent of students complaining. Civil Rights Protest in the South over civil ; rights during the summer of 1964 j tied for third with dormitory reg ulations at 28 per cent of the in-1 stitutions. Hut Southern civil i rights work attracted only half— i about 4 per cent—of the students as did the protests over dorm I rules and conditions. Viet Nam demonstrations were ; reported at 21 per cent of the i colleges—but less than Tf per cent of the students participated. Peterson predicted that in the immediate future Viet Nam will be the top protest issue. In a related note, Peterson said the "organized student Left” prob ably accounts for “less than 1 per cent of the total student pop ulation.” He added that there was a correlation between the number of students involved in the stu dent left and the size of certain protests, such as those directed against U.S. policy in Viet Nam. Direct Protest Although noting that “relative ly few students were engaged" in direct protest, Peterson said “there obviously are substantial numbers of students willing to make known publicly their an tagonism to existing situations— especially those situations where there is a perceived moral con tradiction or hypocrisy.” He said there is “every evi dence" that the “number of stu dent activists have been multiply ing in the past five years,” and called the “current surge of stu dent unrest and active protest . . . among the most significant developments in higher education, perhaps in American society, of the mid-1960's.” At Penn State Prern S. Dua, assistant dean of women at the Pennsylvania State University, reported to the dean’s Conference on a study on the Penn State campus of stu dent attitudes toward the univer sity’s rules forbidding women from visiting men’s apartments and making both men and wom en liable for discipline if the rule is broken. In a random sampling of ad ministrators, parents and stu dents, Dua found that parents and administrators generally agree that the responsibility in deciding whom and where the student may visit is a function of the university rather than the individual student. Only 22 per cent of the parents and 16 per cent of the administrators thought the students should have the right to make these decisions for them selves. Of the students tested, 60 per cent said the students themselves should be able to make these de cisions. Dean Dua concluded that any change in the Penn State rules was not warranted as “both par ents and faculty administrators have indicated faith in the uni versity’s larger awareness of the contemporary scene in respect for its professional judgment in the matter.” donyra tu ta tionS— Sheri Guirey JUNIOR WEEKEND PRINCESS J lower ^JJo (Eugene 5 lower tome — THE UNIVERSITY FLORIST Remember Mothers Day!
