Student Committee to Assist By SALLY SHARRARD Emerald Staff Writer The University is busting out all over with students—students who wsnt to march in picket lines, have teach-ins or sit-ins, who want to join the Peace Corps, Job Corps, or what-have you. Many students no longer come to college strictly to study. They want to get involved in commu nity affairs and what they con ceive to be tiie outside world and its problems. Some of them do it for prestige, others do it because they care. But do students really know how to go about joining a service organisation or even finding out which ones exist? The odds are good that they don’t. Hence there is a new committee on Community Education and Services of the ASUO to help solve this prob lem. council The-purpose of this committee —Operation Citizenship (OP - CIT)—is to become an effective co-ordinating council for the va rious service programs on cam - pus. Conceived by some interest ed and enthusiastic students, this couacfl wants to become a regis tration and referral center — a clearing house for such programs as Campus Conservation Club, the Elmiro Project, Job Carps, Spe cial Education, Migrant Labor Project, tutorial system, Albina, VISTA, YM-YWCA, Los Amigos, the Co-operative Christian Minis try, VrVI, and Community Volun teer Office. “It is hoped,” says Administra tive Co-ordinator Sara Preston, “that schools, clubs, organizations, and committees will all oe rep resented on the co-ordinating council. The council will meet monthly to discuss programs, pro- j jects, and resource areas and to inform each other of their needs. No Take-Over “OP*CIT is not attempting to take over the activities of cam pus groups. It trill be used in recruiting people and all mem bers of the co-ordinating council will have the- use of publicity promotions, office space, staff as sistance, and resources of the OP-CIT office.” A central office has been set up so that students can obtain in formation on various projects. The committee will not only re fer students to the organizations, but also help the groups to pool their resources if there is any overlapping on similar projects. It will also, if need arises, insti tute new groups to handle other social problems. When the group first met, many of the students had no idea what was expected of them. Sara Pres ton, co-ordinating administrator, Nancy Holmes, ASUO senator, and Jim Blackaby, the new chairman of the committee, directed the meeting by explaining that the idea for the committee grew out of informal talks among the lead ers of the organizations last year. Became Obvious As the talk grew and they dis cussed the various problems of the organizations, four points be came obvious. First is the lack of communi cation between the groups—many are working in similar areas.

Also, there may be many stu dents interested in doing some sort of service project but who haven’t heard of the particular group that can help them to be come active. This often results in the existing organizations dupli cating one another and sometimes failing in their attempts. Co-operation Seen OP-CIT will work closely with the School of Community Serv ices and Public Affairs, as well as with other schools involved with applying classroom theory to ac tual practice. But before any of this can take place, organizations, clubs, or service groups are ask ed to decide if they wish to use OP-CIT and become a part of a greater campus effort. If so, they should contact the OP-CIT office, from 3 p.m. to S p.m. daily, in 303 Student Union. As someone said: “We have found a place to hang our shin gle, and become visible to the student body.” The process of inter-group com munication will begin when the committee groups meet in con junction with the members of the service organizations. Resource Conservation The Campus Conservation Club with John Miles as chairman will meet today in 304 SU. The pur pose of this club is to work for resource conservation on all fronts, strive for solutions in air and water pollution, and inform the student body and general pub lic of the need for resource con servation. Los Amigos will meet at 2:30 p.m. today to discuss plans. The Northwest area meeting will be in Seattle on Saturday. The Upward Bound tutorial sys tem has been organized to assist the 75 Upward Bound students on campus. The response has been good, but the program is still in need of more volunteers, partic ularly in psychology, math, and English comp. The qualifications are not demanding. Any student interested should contact the ASUO secretaries from 3 to 5 p.m. daily in 306-310 SU. Steve Young is chairman. Re activate VISTA The VISTA program on cam pus plans to re-activate VISTA. It plans to recruit new members and they will help organize drives and be an extension to the VISTA training site. All Students inter ested should meet at 7 p.m. today in Barrister lounge, Straub hall. Pat Morales is head of the com mittee. The heads of the following com mittees may be contacted through the OP-CIT office for further in formation on meeting dates. The Elmira Project (Cheryl Clark), and the Whitaker Area Project (Marlene Thompson), work with underprivileged chil dren or children who need help in school. Other Projects The Migrant Labor Project (Ka ren Carpenter), is a group which worked with problems of migrant workers. The Albina Project (Kitti No lan), plans to become involved in social work in the Albina area in Portland. Roy R. Fowles is chairman of the School Case Aide Program. The program needs volunteer stu dents. > OP-CIT will maintain student interest files, as well as a file of community volunteer needs. In this way, students will be able to easily volunteer for service to the community.

Technicality Delays Discrimination Order A legal technicality delayed the filing of an administrative order charging the Eugene Manor Cor poration, owners of the Univer sity Anns apartments with dis criminations The alleged discrimination re sulted when the owners of the University Arms refused to rent apartments to five University graduate students because of their color. . *. The delay arose when a bill was received by the Bureau of Labor for travel expenses incurred by one of the students, Dietrich Luth, a Canadian citizen. Luth, who was subpoenaed by the Bureau of Labor—the agency that enforces the state’s anti-dis crimination statutes—wants to be reimbursed for travel expenses from his home in Canada to the Oregon border and back. Oregon law provides for the reimbursement of expenses in curred only while traveling in Oregon. Norm Nilsen, State Labor Com missioner, forwarded the bill to the Eugene Manor Corporation Hatf ield to Speak i In Student Union Oregon Governor Mark O. Hat field will speak at the Univer sity Tuesday. Hatfield, the Republican can didate for the U.S. Senate, will speak at 4 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom. He has been in vited by the ASUO. The ASUO has also set up a debate between the two candi dates for governor, Republican Secretary of State Tom McCall and Democratic State Treasurer Robert Straub for Thursday. The ASUO expects that Hat fieyw’s opponent, Congressman field’s opponent, Congressman Robert B. Duncan, will also speak at the University during the cam paign. attorney for his reaction. A legal review of the order is being de layed until the< expense problem Is settled. Nilsen had earlier appointed a three-member tribunal of Eugene residents to see if there was any truth in the discrimination suit. Nilsen must make a decision on whether to order a “cease and desist” order or to dismiss the complaints filed by the students. J'he state may seek a court er if the cease and desist order is not obeyed. A contempt con viction and a fine and/or a jail sentence can result if the court order is not obeyed. The corporation officials have said that no discrimination occur red and that they disapprove of the citizen tribunal that was brought in to hear the case. The attorney for the corpora tion said that he will appeal to the courts if an unfavorable order is received from the commissioner. Original Prints To Be Shown Interested students will have an opportunity to examine and purchase original prints by mod ern and old masters today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Episco pal Student Center. The showing, under the aus pices of the Ferdinand Roten Gal leries of Baltimore, Maryland, will include approximately 500 original etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts by such artists as Picas so, Chagall, Renoir, Goya, and many others. Outstanding manu script pages from works of the 13th-15th centuries will also be shown. Established in 1932 and now one of the largest American print dealers, Roten Galleries special interest is the work of Kaethe Kollwitz (1867 - 1945), regarded by many as one of art history’s most accomplished woman artists.
