A small seminar group meets here on the steps of Lawrence Hall during last year’s session. Activities Available Regular Facilities, SU Tours Planned for Summer School While* planned activities din ing summer session differ widely from those during the regular academic year, students on cam pus this summer will have no difficulty in finding activities to take1 up their leisure hours. Although hours may vary some what from those kept during regu lar University sessions, the Uni versity Library, Museum of Art, Museum of Natural History, and Desegregation Study Planned A training institute to study processes of school desegregation will be offered at the University this summer. The institute will involve 60 selected participants, including school board members, school superintendents, principals, coun selors, teachers, parents from lower income families, PTA offi cials, education writers and broad casters, civil rights leaders, and leaders in community organiza tion. The institute will probably be funded by a grant from the Uuited States Office of Education. Final approval of the grant is still pending. The program will concentrate on working toward equal educa tional opportunities, especially in the Portland and Seattle areas. “We have an opportunity to come up with some of the answers on how you desegregate a school,” says Clyde DeBerry, poverty and race specialist in the University’s Office of Federal Government Re lations and a staff member for the conference. Besides DeBerry, major staff members for the institute include Saul Toobert of the University Counseling Center; James Klon oski, associate professor of poli tical science and specialist in race relations and Constitutional law; and John Howard, an instructor in sociology. Supporting staff include Arthur Pearl, professor of education and director of VISTA at the Univer sity; Kenneth Polk, professor of sociology who was also involved in the Lane County Youth Proj ect; and Grace Graham, professor of education. There will also be 17 guest lecturers from all over the United States. The curriculum will be in the fields of political science, educa tion, psychology, and sociology, with special emphasis on field work and experimentation. The institute will include stud ies of community structure, school desegregation process, and teach ing strategies in working with disadvantaged youth. It will also include several fol low-up meetings in the partici pants' home towns during the 1066-67 academic year to deter mine the effectiveness of the pro gram. DeBerry noted that the Ameri can Association of School Ad ministrators publication on school desegregation does not recom mend one way to desegregate a school. Instead, it offers several alternatives, including some that have not yet been tried. He said that the follow-up pro gram will be particularly impor tant. "We hope the program will be carried on all year,” he said. He said the staff of the institute also hopes to serve as a consultant team. But “When it's all said and done, it’s the school organization that will have to implement the program,” DeBerry says. The program begins June 20 and will end August 15. Applica tions may be obtained from De Berry. All applications must be in by May 30. All participants will receive $75 per week for room and board. Persons who qualify will be able to receive six to ten hours of credit. Student Union will all be open. In addition, the Student Union will sponsor a number of trips which students may attend.

Each tour group will leave Eu gene Saturday, see the play that evening, spend the night at Southern Oregon College, and re turn to Eugene on Sunday morn ing. A weekend trip up the Rogue River is also scheduled. The tour group will leave Eugene Satur day, travel south to Gold Beach, then take the famous mail boat ride up the Rogue on Sunday. Lunch will be served at Agness, 30 miles up the Rogue, then the group will return to Gold Beach before leaving for Eugene.
