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.
While serving the bureau for
12 years, Nilsen has acted as
judge for discrimination cases on
five occasions. The main prob
lem, according to Nilsen, is that
"we know people are being dis

register their comDlaints.
Another question asked of
Nilsen at Thursday's interview
concerned the Trade Apprentice
bill of the state legislature. He
was asked to comment on the
fact that minority group partici
pation in the state apprentice
program is low. As a candidate
for re-election to the office of
commissioner in the May 24 Dem
ocratic primary, Nilsen is par
ticularly interested in this issue
and hopes to see more equal rep
resentation of minority groups in
the plan, and has definite sug
gestions for its reform.

statements included a summary of accomplishments as well as
advice and suggestions for the future.
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

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
