But one opponent. Junior Class President Bill ilansell, called the challenge “meaningless," since a debate was already being set up. The debate will be broadcast on Pricate Line Three, the Univer sity's television station, according to Hansell. Drummonds' other opponent, John Ressler, was out of town Wednesday and was not sched uled to return until Monday Ressler's running mate, Kirk Aronstam, said he didn't know whether Kessler would accept the challenge or not. "I’ll have to wait until he gets back,” Aron stam said. Drummonds' speech at the Free Speech Platform was unannounc ed. Most students, coming back from 11 o'clock classes, walked on past. About 20 or 30 stopped to listen. Drummonds said that “Stu- j dent government is no longer a game." He said he and his run ning mate, Lee Bollinger, "be lieve students are citizens in the University community equal with faculty members and administra-1 tors.

Changes in the Code dealing with closing hours (section ILF) include: • Exemption from closing hour restrictions during the lfHitttJ7 school year for sopho more and junior women living in special dormitory units, with parental consent (also includ ing seniors and women over 21 in special units); • Exemption from regular closing hour restrictions in II.E l and 2 of the Code for sophomore and junior women in sororities or cooperatives, pro vided the houses have adopted rules consistent with those of the special units (which will come under II.F.3.C.1) and had them approved by the Conduct Committee. This ruling will also be for 19tt««7 • Special closing hours, to go into effect immediately, which will be 1 a m the night before a legal holiday observed by the University, and 2 a.m. on special occasions authorized by the Student Activities Com mittee. Cater Closing Now Houses and dormitories will also close twenty minutes after the termination of any activity recognized as a University func tion which continues past nor mal closing hours. During spring quarter, senior women living uifler regular University rules will have 11:30 closing hours on weekday nights. The Committee voted unani mously to remox e rules one through eight of Section HI. C. of the Code, which deals with Student activities. Jurisdiction over the details of activities such as house dances will be handled by the Student Activities Committee. One of the two rules remaining under III. C. of the Code will discourage functions which con done the use of alcohol or nar cotics, and the other rule will involve chaperonagc. The chaperonagc rule (III. C.9) was nearly omitted from the Code. But the Committee chose to wait until next week to make its final decision, so it emild hear any recommenda tions from the administration or from leaders of f'anhcllenic and women’s co operatives. Chaperonage Rule If the Committee deletes the chaperonage rule from the Code, the rule probably will be taken up by the Student Activities Committee for inclusion in its draft. •Jim McKeowcn, head of IFC Tribunal, and Pat Kirkpatrick, chairman of the Panhcllenic .Judiciary Board, reported the action from a joint hearing be tween the two councils on a raid. The raid, according to Mc Keowen, involved five men who entered through a window of a sorority and took some cloth ing from the women's rooms. All five men, three freshmen and two sophomores, were mem bers of the same house. McKcowen said the men's house was placed on social pro bation, but that the two coun cils planned to review its case next week. McKeowen said it would be decided then whether to keep the house on probation. Bob Carl, student member of the Conduct Committee recom mended that the five be turnoff over to the associate dean of students’ office so they may be prosecuted in Student Court as individuals. Dick Rapp, advisor to the minor courts, said a review by the two councils would be "un fair” to the student from the dormitory who was recently tried in Student Court and placed on disciplinary proba tion for a similar raid in a women’s dorm. Decide Next Week McKeowen said the Tribunal would decide the issue next week, but that the students probably would not be turned over for further prosecution. He said it was more of a group ac tivity than an individual of fense, since they began at tbe fraternity and returned to it after the raid. Greg Reed, student prosecu tor, said there would be the problem of getting witnesses even if the students were tried, since the women would prob ably not testify and since Stu dent Court lacks the power to subpoena.

Survey Says Students Want More Recreation Facilities By PHIL SEMAS I Associate Editor Campus recreation programs | are expanding and the student body is getting larger. And that’s putting increasing pressure on campus recreational facilities. Retiring Student Union Direc tor A. L. "Si” Ellingson and Asso ciate Director Jack Cross, who takes over as acting director May 1, are scheduled to meet with University President Arthur S. Flemming this morning. Cross said the meeting would probably be the first between the president ano several University officials on the question of recreational facil ities. "He wants to get more familiar with the problem," Cross said. Cross noted that Flemming has been "pecked at" by several peo ple, including the ASUO Senate and Cabinet, about the lack of recreation facilities. Cross and Ellingson will show Flemming the results of a survey they did on student opinion on the recreation problem. They sent out questionnaires to ; 131 students. Wednesday they had 50 back. The sample matched the overall University fairly closely in class breakdown. Here are some of the things i that survey showed: • Heaviest use and heaviest 1 needs for facilities are for tennis I courts. Swimming pools ran sec- j ond. In tennis, 22 listed it as a I facility they used and 25 thought there should be more courts, j Ten students used either Leighton j or Gerlinger pool and 11 thought1 another pool was a needed facil flmaMniuii, ii it lumnimuMMMiiiiutiMiii!' maun mm j 1 .

Six suggested a golf course. • Students split, 25 to 25. on whether they would use Leighton Pool more if it was open more for recreational swimming. Stu dents listed Saturday afternoon. Sunday afternoon and 7 to 9 p.m. every evening as times they would prefer to use the pool. • Most (26 to 17) thought there were sufficient recreation programs on the campus. • Most (29 to 17) thought there were not sufficient recrea tion facilities on the campus. • Many students (31) use non University recreation facilities in the Eugene area. Those used most of the time were tennis courts, golf courses, parks, and theatres. The most frequent reasons for using those facilities were that there w’ere no University facili ties, such as night tennis facili ties or a golf course, and that the off-campus facilities were more convenient. • Students prefer a location (Continued on pane 2) Pilgrim Believes Love Solution To World Strife By VIVIAN WILSON Staff Writer "The lesson we must learn is not to kill,” said Peace Pilgrim, an "ageless” woman who has traveled 25,000 miles on foot, touring the United States nearly four times, in a quest for peace. Dressed in tennis shoes, blue jeans, a blue shirt with a tunic over it, and with her gray hair pulled back from her face, Miss Pilgrim spoke for nearly two hours before a small group of students which later grew to about 400, Wednesday afternoon at the Free Speech platform. She praised Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Orc.), the international interest and concern of today’s students, and the Peace Corps. She criticized United States intervention in Viet Nam, the presidency, and war toys and movies presented to children. Miss Pilgrim called today’s people “immature” and the nations “poor psychologists.” She asked, “How can you get along with others by hating them?” She proposed peace through love. Miss Pilgrim proposed what she called a “practical solution accept able to everyone concerned,” for the war in Viet Nam. “Bring a (Continued on page 2) 'The U.S. Has No Right to Dictate' Photo by Shota Ushio
