program’s advantages.
The purpose of the program,
Wood explained, is to take high

Henson Suffers
Heart Attack;
Resting Quietly
(Jerald Henson, University
co-op manager, is reported rest
ing comfortably and out of the
danger area after suffering a
mild heart attack last Friday
Authorities at Sacred Heart
Hospital describe Henson's prog
ress as excellent, but say that
he may still have to spend several
weeks in the hospital.
According to his wife, this is
the first attack Henson has ever
suffered. She termed the attack
as mild, adding that her hus

Mrs. Henson described the
probable cause of the attack by

of 16 and 21 and train them to
become respectable citizens. "Be
sides trade skills, the boys need
total rehabilitation." He added
that the boys learn "new con
cepts of real family life, social
understanding o f occupational
values, and a set of values to live
by."
Boys attend classes depending
on what courses they are inter
ested in. Some courses are en
tirely elective, thereby promot
ing a challenge to the instructor
to maintain an interesting class,
Wood says.
Wood also defended the pro
gram from past criticisms from
newspaper and other media by
explaining the program from an
economic standpoint.
“The per hour cost per stu
dent is no greater than a second
ary high school in Oregon,” he
said. But a dropout costs society
$100,000; costs involved in wel
fare, delinquency, crime, sickness,
and other aspects.
By improving these drop-outs
to the point of being respectable
wage earning citizens, our gross
national debt can be reduced by
millions of dollars, Wood said.
"Thus, it is and will be tremen
dously successful on an economic
basis.
Black Power'
Dialogue Topic
“Civil Disobedience and Black
Power” will be the subject of to
day's Y dialogue held at 4 p.m.
in the Bottom of-the-Bowl in the
Student Union.
Clyde DeBerry, poverty special
ist with the Office of Economic
Opportunity and former president
of the Eugene chapter of CORE,
and Lawrence Ross, assistant pro
fessor in business law, will dis
cuss the topic.
DeBerry says the terms "civil
disobedience” and “black power”
are misunderstood. He calls civil
disobedience a "legitimate tactic”
and says its use in the civil
rights movement was “forced
upon Negroes by segregationist
opposition."
Ross says, “Anytime you dis
obey the law, you have to expect
to pay the social price.”

The University faculty post
j poned consideration of a propos
I al to separate the University from
Selective Service operations at
its first meeting Wednesday.
The proposal, submitted by Da
vid Aberle and signed by three
; other faculty members, was post
poned by a vote of 179 to 140
on a motion from the Student
Faculty Council.
Although the meeting was
closed to the press and the pub
lie, it was said that the motion
to postpone was presented to give
students an opportunity to make
their views on the proposal
known.
The purpose of Aberle's motion
is to officially separate the Uni
versity from the Selective Serv
ice administration. It will now
be considered at the November
faculty meeting.
University President Arthur S.
Flemming, the presiding officer
of the faculty, announced that the
reports on the ASUO Course Sur- j
vey Bulletin had been submitted.
They will be mailed to all fac
ulty members and considered at
the next meeting. That an
nouncement constitutes a notice
of motion under the governing
rules of the faculty.
The only item of business con
ducted was the introduction of
new and returning faculty mem
bers. A proposal by Jack Wilkin
son, head of the department of
fine and applied arts, concerning
the relation of the Student -
Faculty Council and the Faculty
Senate, was postponed to the
November meeting, as expected.
The same was true of a mo
tion by W. P. Rhoda. professor of
physical education, regarding the
2.0 eligibility rule for student
officers. That motion was tabled
at the June meeting but should be
revived in November.
ASUO President Henry Drum
monds and Vice-President Lee
Bollinger were the two students
present at the meeting. The
ASL'O president and one other
student are allowed to attend
faculty meetings under the pro
visions of a motion passed last
spring.

Enrollment 432
Ahead of Last Fall
I As of 5 p.ra. Wednesday, with
two days of registration to go,
University enrollment of 12.680
j topped last year’s total enrollment,
by 432 students.
This constitutes a 4.4 per cent
increase over the 12,036 students
who had enrolled by this time
last year. This total leaves the
University 106 short of its pro
jected fall term enrollment of 12,
976.
Wednesday 116 students com-:
pleted registration to bring the
total of late-registered students
to about 500 this year. Last year
875 students registered late.
According to the University
Business Office, 13,581 registra
tion packets were issued at the
beginning of this term. There are
still 901 students who have pack
ets and haven’t completed regis
(ration or paid their fees.
Despite this over-all rise in
student enrollment, a decrease
in the number of freshmen has
been noted by the registrar’s
office.
"There seems to be a diver
sion of freshmen to two-year insti
tutions, perhaps because they
are closer to home and less ex
pensive,” explained Clifford Con
stance, University registrar.
Loss of enrollment at some
Oregon colleges has been attrib
uted to the fact that community
colleges are attracting more and
more students who seek less ex
pensive means to their education.
-University President Arthur S.
Flemming has remained confi
dent that the University will at
tain its projected enrollment fig
ure this fall.
