Administration Aids ASUO
Faculty Survey
Receives Help
By PIIIL SKMAS
KmrriUd Krtllor
The University administration
will continue to provide assist
ance to the ASUO’s faculty evalu
ation program.
University President Arthur
S. Flemming said Thursday he
has instructed J. Spencer Carl
son, director of the counseling
center to provide the ASUO with
assistance in developing a form
for this year's survey.
Carlson, who does a lot of work
with computers, helped in the
development of last year’s sur
vey.
The statement released Wed
nesday by Flemming reads:
"I regret the circumstances that
have resulted in a delay on fae
ulty action on the student reac
tion survey. At the June meet
ing of the faculty it was content
plated that we would have the
benefit of the faculty reaction by
the November meeting.
"This delay does present some
administrative problems in terms
of developing plans for this year's
survey.
"In view of the fact that no
pending motion before the fac
ulty is in conflict with the idea
of conducting a survey during the
current academic years. 1 am
requesting Mr. Spencer Carlson
to provide the appropriate offi
cials of ASUO with whatever as
sistance he can in the develop
ment of the plans for this year’s
survey.
"As soon as the faculty has act
ed on the motions now pending
before it, I will make an addition
al statement relative to the man
ner in which the published results
of the survey will be used.”
The four faeulty motions all re
late to the question of how the
survey results will he used, if
they are used for promotion and
tenure decisions. (See page 2
oi today’s Kmcrald.)
ASUO Vice President Lee Bol
linger said he “commends'' Flem
ming's action. He added that the
ASUO intends to conduct a sur
vey at the end of winter term.
ASUO President Henry Drum
monds was out of town and un
available for comment
Flemming pointed out that none
of the faculty motions would stop
the administration from assisting
the students in developing the
form.
He said he thought he should
wait until after the faculty took
a position on the ratings before
he said what he will do about the
ratings use in promotion and
tenure decisions and on whether
faculty participation should be
compulsory or not.

favoring a national lottery for
military service.
Senators Jerry Norton, Bob
Winger, and Dave McCloskey left
the meeting just as the body was
nearing a vote on the proposed
measure.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Mike Donahue, recommended the
abolishment of the draft in peace
time and the establishment of a
lattery in case of national emer
gency (established by Congress.)
Military service would be for a
two-year period

Students to Hold
Tuition Confab
Chancellor of the Oregon State System of Higher Education,
Hoy Lieuallcn, Dennis Curry from the State Hudget Office, and Bob
Stevens from the Senate Fiscal Committee will discuss the pro
posed tuition increase at state colleges and universities with student
leaders from seven institutions Saturday in the Student Union.
--The conference, which is open to all who wish to attend, will begin
at 9:15 a m. with speeches from Lieuallen, Curry, and Stevens on
why the State Board of Higher Education feels that tuition should
be increased from the $330 students now pay to the proposed $309
per year. Students attending the conference will then have an op
portunity to ask questions as to where and how the extra money
will be spent.
After lunch the delegates from the different schools will partici
pate in a general meeting starting at 1:30. According to ASUO
President Henry Drummonds the proposed tuition increase will be
discussed thoroughly from the students’ point of view. The present
high cost of education, the hardship it puts on students financially,
and (he increasing importance of a college education are factors
that will be considered.
At the end of the conference, about 5 p.m., a joint statement will
he made by those who participated. If the representatives of the
schools do not believe that the increase is justified, further action
will probably be taken, according to ASUO Senator Dan Allison.
Schools participating in the conference are the University of
Oregon, Portland State College, Oregon State University, Eastern
Oregon College, Oregon College of Education, Southern Oregon
College, and Oregon Technical Institute.
must serve their country for one
year during peace time. This ser
vice could be in the branches
ot the military service, Peace
Corps, VISTA, or other programs
sanctioned or created by the
government.
Further stipulations of the
measure were that deferments be
granted only to those whose oc
cupation is determined crucial to
the nation’s defense by Congress,
that 4-F deferments for mentally
and physically disabled persons
be made more equitable, that lim
ited service I-Y be made more
extensive, and that 1-S deferments
be granted for a period of nine
weeks, or in the case of col
lege students until completion of
the present term.
A universal training program
under which all males would
complete a six-month training
program upon reaching age 18
or on completion of their secon
dary education, whichever comes
last, was also outlined in the bill.
Physical disability was declar
ed the only deferment from this
service.
According to his arguments,
McCloskey favored the idea of a
lottery; however, he opposed the
section of the bill calling for the
involuntary one-year service and
the universal training period.
Earlier in the meeting he at
tempted to amend the bill to

Student Lot
Approved
By Flemming
By JEAN SNIDER
Emrrald Assistant Managing Editor
University President Arthur S. Flemming overruled the Campus
Planning Committee Thursday and opened a parking lot to students.
Monday morning the lot at 13th Avenue and Agate Street will
be open to students, except dormitory residents.
The Planning Committee recommended Thursday morning that
the lot be kept exclusively for faculty members, but that afternoon
Flemming overruled its decision.
PLANNING COMMITTEE
The Planning Committee met Thursday morning to consider the
ASUO Senate requests on parking. D. L. Thompson, assistant dean
of the School of Business Administration presented a subcommittee
study to the group.
He recommended the following five points which were approved
by the committee:
• The Hamilton (triangle) lot be delayed while the availability
of that lot is publicized to faculty and staff. At the end of January,
Physical Plant Director I. I. Wright would have been asked to
again survey the utilization of the lot and the students’ request
would have been re-evaluated at that time. But this recommenda
tion was overturned by Flemming.
FACULTY USE ONLY
• The 17th Avenue and Alder Street lot will remain for faculty
and staff use only. The committee study showed this lot to be used
to full capacity at this time.
• No action will be taken on scooter and motorcycle parking or
travel until demand warrants the creation of additional spaces. The
situation is being studied.
• No spaces will be specially designated for sports cars. The
committee found that this system has not worked on other campuses
and has only caused additional problems.
• Confirming the committee’s approval of the opening of the
south half of the Columbia lot to parking for dormitory residents.
OVERFLOW DEPICTED
Thompson showed several slides depicting overflowing parking
lots and heavily car-lined streets.
After considerable discussion Charles T. Duncan, associate dean
of faculties, said that he could see no reason why the committee
needed to see further studies of the triangle lot. He moved to open
the lot to students.
He pointed out that the committee to study the problem was
appointed last term and should have had time to review the situa
tion by now. He said that that particular lot should not be studied
"for the fourth or fifth week" before a decision is made because
"this is a felt-need now" for students.
MOTION FAILED
Duncan's motion to open the triangle lot to students failed in the
Planning Committee by a 4-7 vote with the chairman voting.
The committee then went on to accept unconditionally the sub
committee on parking’s recommendations. Nine faculty members
voted yes and two students, no.
Thursday afternoon President Flemming issued the following
statement overruling the committee:
"I have decided to follow the advice of the four members of the
University Planning Committee who voted for a motion to open up
the triangle lot to faculty and students immediately. I have asked
Mr. Lindstrom to take the necessary steps to carry out this instruc
tion.”
Reporter Privilege
Statute Introduced
SALEM (AP)-—A bill to give j
news reporters a measure of priv-1
ilege in protecting news sources
was introduced today by Repre
sentative Keith D. Skelton (D -
Eugene).
A similar bill is expected to be
introduced later in the session by
Senators Ted Hallock (D-Port
land) and Vernon Cook (D-Gres
ham).
The bill Skelton introduced is
the one agreed upon by the Ore
( gon Newspaper Publishers Asso
1 ciation (ONPA) last year. The
! proposed statute is taken from
I Northwestern University Law
Review.
“This measure is intended to
give only a qualified privilege.
... It gives to a court of com
petent jurisdiction the right to
decide whether the public inter
est would be better protected if
disclosure should be compelled
by the court," Skelton said.
"Standards are established
which the court must follow in
making its decision. In addition,
where an order is made which
compels the reporter to reveal his
l sources, that order may be appeal
ed into a higher tribunal, he
said.
If the bill becomes law, it
would give qualified protection
to such reporters as Annette Bu
chanan, the University student
editor who was found in con
tempt of court last year in Lane
County.
She has appealed the case to
the Oregon Supreme Court.
ONPA is filing a legal brief
with the Supreme Court in sup
port of Miss Buchanan. Skelton is
ON'PA's attorney.
Miss Buchanan's attorney, Ar
thur C. Johnson of Eugene, com
mented on Skelton’s proposal: I
have not seen the bill but if it
is patterned after that in North
western University Law Review,
I would strongly favor such leg
islation. I do not feel it would
curb the power of the court or
in any way interfere with the
administration of justice but
would have the effect of free
communication to legitimate
newsgathering agencies.”
Neither bill would have any
legal effect on the status of Miss
Buchanan's appeal.
