Researchers Get
$1 Million Grant
The University will receive $ 1
027,HOO in federal funds for a
program to train persons for re
search careers in the hehavorial
sciences and educational admin
istration.
The program, funded under Ti
tle IV of the Klomcntary and Sec
ondary Education Act of 1905,
will he conducted from Septem
ber, I960, to August, 1971 Di
rector is It Jean Hills, associate
professor of education.
The new program will allow
them to train for three careers—
as a researcher in the educational
specialization of one of the he
havorial science disciplines, such
as the sociology of education; re
search professor in educational
administration; applied research
professor of educational adminis
tration or research director in a
school system, college or univer
sity, or state department of edu
cation.
The three programs lead to a
Ph D degree in behavioral sci
ence, Ph D., or Ed.D. in educa
tional administration, and Ph D.
or Ed.D. decree respectively.
In addition to learning about
field applications of behavoria)
science research and concepts to
education, participants will learn
basic skills in research method
ology, design, statistics, and com
puter technology.
During the three-year program,
each fellow will receive an annual
stipend of $2,400, plus travel al
lowances and tuition, and annual
allowances of $500 for each depen
dent, up to four dependents.
Twelve graduate research train
ing follows have been named for
next year. They include: Jennifer
McDowell, Fred Van Noy, Mary
Dell C. Smith. Fred H. Corwell, F.
Taylor Johnson, George F. Beisse.
Brian Bates, Thomas R. Hills,

Funds Finance Summer Project
The university has received a
$138,000 federal grant to conduct
a two-summer research training
program for junior standing stu
dents in behavioral sciences and
education.
The new program is designed
for undergraduates interested in
becoming researchers in either
or both of these fields It is fund
ed under Title IV of the Elcmen
tary and Secondary Education
Aei of 1968.
Keith Goldhammcr, associate
dean of the School of Education,
is director.
Fifteen participants have been
selected They will receive slip
ends of $75 per week plus tuition
for each eight-week session.
The 198(5 undergraduate re
search fellows are Brnddie Ben
son, Charlotte DuChamp, Grace
Fioretti, Gregory Johnson. David
Looney. Larry Price, Linda Reed,
Lee Salley, Frank Milanesi, Jan
et t.anmes, i nomas .->aies, ra
tricia Grego, Robert Benefiel, Stu
art Gwin, and Robin Knapp.
The trainees will be involved in
a research project, discuss cur- !
rent research needs in education
al administration, and participate
in seminars on the contributions
of the behavioral sciences to the
study of educational administra
tion.
They will have first hand con-!
tacts with administrators, school
hoards, local school district
staffs, and specific educational
programs.
Successful participants in the
first eight-week summer program
will lie invited to participate for
a second summer. Following the
second session, they may be eli
gible for graduate research train
ing fellowships in behavioral sci
ences and educational administra
tion at the University.
ATTENTION
Ofl-Campus Students
Students paying their own utility bills—that is, living ofT
campus where utilities are not included in the rent—should
make their own arrangements with EWEB for starting and
stopping electric service.
An order to start service saves the inconvenience of having
your electricity turned off because the previous tenant ordered
it stopped. An order to discontinue service saves the inconveni
ence of being billed for service after you leave Eugene or move
to another location in town. It’s simple; do it by phone!
Remember...
1. Call and apply for service—when you move in.
2. Call and stop service—when you move out.
3. Notifying your landlord that you are moving in
or out is not enough. You must notify EWEB!

Carl, a student member of the
committee, lilod a complaint
against the law students for their
their actions during their tradi
tional Lawst Weekend celebra
tion on May 13.
The complaint said the law stu
dents "did not take reasonable
steps, as a group, to prevent vio
lations of law or university regu
lations,” a requirement stated
in the Conduct Code.
Drinking
The complaint accused the stu
dents of drinking on the cam
pus and interfering with students
trying to go to classes. The law
students stopped girls on their
way to class, reportedly prevent
ing some from taking mid-terms.
in other business the commit
tee put a rule forcing students
to write letters home to par
ents into the Conduct Code.
In other business the Commit
tee put into the Conduct Code a
rule on forcing students to write
letters to their parents when
they have been arrested by the
police.
The policy which has stood for
over a year as a separate policy
contains three points:
• It allows Associate Dean
of Students Francis Nickerson to
notify a student’s parents or have
the student notify the parents
when (1) the student has been
charged with or convicted of a
violation of a criminal law, or (2)
in Nickerson’s opinion, based on
an interview with the student
and his record, the letter “would
serve a useful rehabilitative func
tion to protect the student’s edu
cation” or would protect his par
ents' legal responsibility.
• It lists typical cases where
the dean may force the student
to write such a letter as felony
charges or when students arc
repeating offenders.
ROTC Gives Grant
A University sophomore in po
litical science, Michael T. Logan,
has been awarded a two-year Air
Force Reserve Officers Training
Corps scholarship.
Logan, an Air Force ROTC ca
det, is the only sophomore desig
nated to receive such a scholar
ship at the University. The Air
Force scholarship will pay the
cost of tuition, books, fees, sup
plies, and equipment, plus $50
per month.
i
• It says trial the action
should not be used if Nickerson
! believes it would have a detri
! mental affect on the student’s
| education.
The policy has been invoked
twice by Nickerson this year. In
both cases the student has writ
ten the letter.
At an earlier meeting Flem
ming suggested that the whole
matter be dropped by the com
1 mittee, since fhe policy is used
so seldom. But he told Nickerson
later that it was not meant as a
| directive to the committee, only
as a personal opinion.
Long Debate
The committee’s action came
only after a long debate in which
, they failed to pass another mo
tion to put the policy in the Code,
a motion to drop the policy com
pletely, and a motion to drop the
section concerning repeating
offenders.
Carl argued that the “letters
home" policy, as it is called,
j "drives students away from the
1 Office of Student Affairs.”
“I don’t worry about it now
but in 10 or 15 years it could
be dangerous," he added.
Nickerson responded that
| “some of these students are
worth saving. I want to be sure
we have the means to save
them.” He said the policy was
necessary.
But Carl replied, “We’re not
throwing them to the dogs. We
will help them But they won’t
come to the Office of Student
Affairs for that help if we have
this kind of policy.”
Philosophy Perfect?
Jesse Puckett, associate profes
sor of physical education and a
member of the committee, point
ed out that the policy has only
been in effect about a year.
"Dean Nickerson should have
some time to work with it first,”
she argued. “It distresses me that
students distrust faculty members
too much to give them this pow
! er.
"You say it contradicts the
philosophy of the Code,” she
said to Dave McCloskey, a stu
dent member of the committee
who had made that point earlier,
“but is this philosophy so per
fect that you have to always go
along with it?”
A motion by Leslie Anderson,
professor of business administra
tion, to put the rule in the Code
failed 3-3 with Anderson, Miss
Puckett, and Chairman Wendell
Basye, professor of law, voting
yes and Carl, McCloskey, and
Jean Palmer voting no.
The seventh member of the
committee, John Hanson, profes
sor of education, was not present.
Two Motions
Two motions by Carl—one to
drop the policy completely and
another to leave out the repeat
ing offenders section (which he
argued was unfair since the Uni
versity does not keep policy po
lice records)—both failed by the
same 3-3 margin.
That was the last meeting of
the Conduct Committee for this
year.
Flemming last week appointed
four new faculty members to the
committee to serve through next
! spring. They are Honors College
! Director Herman Cohen as chair
man; John W. Loughary, profes
sor of education; Don Van Rossen,
assistant professor of physical ed
ucation; and Roy H. Rodgers, as
i sistant professor of sociology.
The terms of McCloskey and
Miss Palmer last into next year.
A third student will probably be
appointed in the fall to replace
! Carl.
