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. A

second proDiem ciopeiy ueu in
with the first is that many of
the programs have too few resour
ces—either the projects are too
large for the siae of the groups,
or the groups have limited access
to community personnel to begin
the project.
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

Hatfield, the Republican can

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

Secretary of State Tom McCall
and Democratic State Treasurer
Robert Straub for Thursday.
The ASUO expects that Hat

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.
