SU Board Debates Lawn Tent • • • (Continued from page 1) said it cannot feel obligated to grant all requests for structures but it must service the student body; yet, it cannot permit any structure on the lawn which could function just as well in some oth er campus location. The m»un question involved was where to draw the line in per mitting organizations to erect structures on the lawn of the SU. Whether the answer was to ex clude every one, include every one, or to try to find a stopping point somewhere in between with out being unfair or inconsistent was the subject of the lengthy debate. Flying up from San Francisco for the sole purpose of arguing in behalf of the Peace Corps were spokesmen Therm Kaldahl and Karen Lindberg. Also arguing for the tent was Tom Cox. director of international education, through which the Peace Corps becomes a campus organization. In his presentation Kaldahl stated his feeling that the tent and its location last year was re sponsible for the success the Peace Corps had in its member ship drive at the University. Last year the University topped every school in the nation in its number of Peace Corps applicants, and as a result, received a com mendation from then Peace Corps director, Sargent Shriver. About six per cent of the student body, or 280 students, applied and took the qualifying test. This figure is three times as high, said Kaldahl, as recruitment figures at the University were Volkswagen Specialists • LOW REPAIR CHARGES • WORKMANSHIP GUARANTEED • FACTORY TRAINED IN GERMANY • FULLY EQUIPPED TO HANDLE ALL GERMAN MAKES GERMAN AUTO SERVICE 2045 Franklin Blvd. 342-2912 DON'T MISS OUR GRAND OPENING SATURDAY OCTOBER 15th ONLY ITALIAN SPAGHETTI ALSO ORDERS TO GO . . . Guiseppe's 25th & Hilyard the year before when there was, no tent. With these two facts in mind, the University and a tent on the SU lawn are "very important" to the Peace Corps. Kaldahl said; important enough to "spare no ex penses” in hiring gardeners to re turn the lawn to normal after the tent has been taken down. Sticking to one point, that of the Board’s consistency, ASUO Vice-President Lee Bollinger felt that the Board should refuse per mission to all such requests in maintaining consistency. He challenged the Board's pow er to set up a policy permitting some and refusing other groups because such a policy would make value judgments on the groups, necessarily condemning some. This would be in essence contra Homecoming Finalists Chosen One senior girl and nine juniors were announced as the ten final ists for the 1966 Homecoming Queen Wednesday night.

SU Director Jack Cross argued that the tent could be just as ef fective somewhere else on cam pus. He suggested somewhere along 13th Avenue, as there Is more student traffic there than along the Hello Walk. Cross also suggested that the Peace Corps could have Room 101 in the SU if they wanted, and not have a tent at all. Cox argued that the tent was “60 to 70 per cent of the whole program.” Directorate Chairman Jim Graves argued that students were usually going somewhere and had less time to stop on 13th, but would have time to stop on their way to and from the SU. After much more discussion, and after one motion and amend ment were rescinded, the Hoard voted in a seven-five-two vote to permit the Peace Corps to pitch a tent on the SU lawn during Peace Corps Week for recruiting of applicants.
