Amendment Analyzed Page H Vol. LXV1 summer E M E RALD UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1966 Professors Promoted Page 2 No. 138 Buchanan in Court Monday : ■ Planning Group Hears Parking Problems By NOMI BORENSTEIN Summer Contributing Editor The Campus Planning Committee has recom mended two changes in University parking policy. At a meeting on June 2 the committee voted to send to University President Arthur S. Flem ming a parking policy including the following changes from present policy: • The lot behind the Student Union will be closed to everyone except visitors. • Students will not receive parking permits for their cars if they live within a one-mile radius of the center of the campus, which the Planning Committee detines as 13th and University. At present the limit is one-half mile. Then the committee approved the parking pro gram unanimously although several individual members had expressed doubts about it during the discussion As Dean of Administration William C. Jones said, "It isn’t perfect but the best we can hope for is a fairly adequate system.” FACULTY FIRST Director of Fiscal Affairs J. O. Lindstrom, the committee chairman, again outlined the philoso phy which ruled the program: "We considered the faculty before the students and assigned the core lots to the faculty instead of the students because we, like President Flem ming, feel that parking is one of the essential fringe benefits that should go to every professor." Several committee members asked about the possibility of charging students for parking. "We can't charge anybody—even students— because we don't have anything to sell them,” Lindstrom replied, "If they paid for their parking space, we would have to guarantee them a parking space. And we just can't do that. We don't have enough to go around." A subcommittee was also appointed to study the possibilities of a bus service between campus and th«* Amazon and Westmoreland married stu dent housing projects. Amazon falls within the one mile radius—where students will not receive parking stickers for their cars, if Flemming ap proves the committee's plan. RETURN FAILS A motion to return the policy to the old half mile limit tailed (5-3. Fred Mohr, assistant to the dean of the Graduate School, proposed the motion saying that the committee's reasoning that high school students don't receive bus service if they live within a mile boundary from school didn’t apply here. John Lallas, director of campus planning, said the committee changed the policy in order to protect the commuting student—“the student who drives ten or fifteen miles to get to school every day. A space must be saved for him. And there aren't enough student spaces to go around." The committee also decided that it would treat teaching and research assistants on the Univer sity payroll as faculty members—at least when it comes to parking, in accordance with the views of President Flemming. ■DISCRIMINATION” Mohr also objected to this, calling it "unjusti fied discrimination." “What about the NDEA fellows? the Carnegie fellows, etc’ They're left out,” he said. He proposed an amendment which would grant faculty status to any graduate student who has a teaching responsibility. "What about research assistants?” a commit tee member asked. "The language of my motion rules them out. They don't usually need to be in a certain place at a specific time like an instructor does. Their duties are more flexible,” he added. Moore's second amendment also failed 6-2. Attorney Asks For Jury Trial Annette Buchanan goes back to court Monday. The Emerald’s managing editor will appear in Circuit Court at 10 a.m. to defend herself against contempt of court charges. On June 15 she refused, in spite of a court order directing her to tell, to reveal to the Lane County Grand Jury the names of five students she interviewed for a story on mari juana. The story appeared in the May 24 Emerald. She will be asked to give her reasons for violating the court order. Her attorney, Arthur Johnson, Wednesday asked the judge who will try the case, Edward Leavy, to allow Miss Buchanan a jury trial. Contempt of of court cases are gen ANNETTE BUCHANAN Stands Trial Monday THE LAWRENCE HALL mural welcomes students back to campus as summer session begins. Evaluation Booklet Planned for Fall It’s "pretty definite” that the ASUO will publish a course eval uation booklet next fall. Senator-at-large Roger Leo, 5.000 Expected For Summer Summer session enrollment at the University is about two-thirds of what is expected. Official estimates predict en rollment slightly over 5,000. How ever, the Registrar's Office will not release exact figures until next week when fines begin for late registration. Friday is the last day to pay fees without fines. The following day. a $5 fine will be added, with an additional $1 per days until the final deadline, July 1. Excep tions for the deadline will be made for certain courses which will begin later in the summer. The official estimate for fall term registration is 12,976 ac cording to Guy Lutz, assistant director of the Office of Institu tional Research. Last year’s fall term enrollment was 12,248. Some 1.000 new students have thus far been admitted to the University for fall term. Dorm applications are still available for the regular session. Dan Williams, assistant director of dormitories, reports that 2,460 students have applied for housing while capacity is 3,143. chairman of the ASUO’s course evaluation project, said this week that unless there is an "unfor seen hang-up” the booklet will probably appear this fall. For most classes the booklet will include data tabulated from multiple choice answers, a state ment by the faculty member, statements by students about the course, and an evaluation of how well the course is meeting its goals. In some cases the evaluation will be different. If the statistical data proves in valid or if, in the case of certain large courses, the faculty mem ber declined to participate, the evaluation booklet will run only a statement from the professor on what the course is about, etc. That’s if the professor agrees to provide such a statement. The major problem with the program at present is lack of manpower, according to Leo. He asked that all interested students apply to work on the project in 301 Student Union. He said all students involved must be upperclassmen and that majors in sociology, psychology, English, business administration, and journalism were especially desirable. “We especially want people with a strong interest or background in writing or in sta tistics,” Leo said. The ASUO has been on the evaluation project for about a year and a half. The form which was used for this booklet was tested several times. erally heard only by a judge. There is a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on contempt trials for reluctant witnesses before Congressional committee but it is uncertain whether the deci sion will affect this case. Leavy is expected to rule on that today or Friday. Since Miss Buchanan last ap peared in court, June 15, Eugene city police have arrested four men alleged to have possession of the drugs. The arrests: • On June 16 police arrested two Portland men who were al leged to have $1,000 worth of mar ijuana in their possession.
