This program will be aimed at benefit ing minority groups. The Civil Rights Division of the Bureau of I-abor is involved with cases of discrimination in race, religion and age. iu nanuic a case oi aiiegeu ais crimination, a complaint must first be registered with the bu reau, either formally or informal ly. The case is then investigated by a field man and if a sufficient settlement is not made, it reaches the level of the public hearing.

In his final statement as Board chairman, LawTence evaluated the Board’s activities for the past year. From the "stifling” conditions of a year ago, the Board "pushed and pulled and tugged and almost busted its seams at times, but we have managed to dump ourselves out of the sandbox onto the beach,” said Lawrence, borrowing the slogan of Goldschmidt when he was campaigning last year. Lawrence feels the retiring Board has done an excellent job in its policy decisions, the new programs it has initiated, the old ones <Continued on page 2) SU Budget Board Cuts Publication The Student Union and Educational Activities (SU-EdAc) Budget Board cut out a student orientation publication and made cuts in budgets for the Oregana and the Oregon Daily Emerald. The Board requested that the University pick up the cost of the Ore-Nter a student-written booklet sent to all entering freshmen. If the University decides it does not want the Ore-Nter in its budget. Dean of Administration William C. Jones, the Board chairman, said SU-EdAc would still pay Bob Carl, the editor, his promised $150 salary, since he has nearly completed the publication. Carl told the Board that Ore-Nter "is more public relations than anything else.” The Budget Board administers a budget with income from student fees, Student Union operation, and programs. Besides the opera tion of the SU, the budgets included are for ASUO Student Publi cations, the Student Union Board, and several smaller programs. In other tentative decisions: • The Board voted 4-2 to raise salaries for the Emerald news staff to $5,775 in line with an increase in the request from the Student Publications Board salary recommendation for editor. Emerald Editor Phil Sernas put in a separate request from the Publications Board’s proposal asking for $7,540 in salaries. But Board Secretary A. L. “Si” Ellingson said he felt the Budget Board shouldn’t alter the Publications Board recommendation ex cept where it changed the base salary. "A budget committee that starts getting into the administrative details of other groups be comes the type of budget committee I don’t think we dare allow ourselves to become.” he said. He objected to changing the relation ship set by the Publications Board between the editor’s salary and other salaries. Sernas said the Publications Board proposed salaries were not realistic. • With the agreement of Emerald Business Manager Louie Abramson the Emerald advertising manager’s salary was cut from $655 back to $393 and, because of a computing error the budget for secretaries for the Emerald was cut from $2,250 to $1,395. • The Board cut back Oregana salaries to $2,726, which would pay $786 each for editor and business manager and $1,100 for hews staff. A proposed $556 for business staff was cut out. The Publica (Continued on page 2)
