At the Legislature: Dollars Donated To Combat LSD SALEM (AP)—A joint legis - lative Ways and Means Health Subcommittee has authorized $77, 442 for preaching the hazards of LSD and other hallucinatory drugs. The request will go later this week to the full committee when it considers adoption of the Men tal Health Division budget. Representative Joe B. Rich ards (R-Eugene) said the new Oregon drug education program is necessary because “Timothy Leary ana others have tried to make these drugs attractive.” Lear/, former Harvard profes sor, has advocated the use of LSD and urged students to “turn on, tune in, ar.d drop out.” He spoke at the University earlier this term. If the budget item is adopted, Oregon will become one of the first states to have a statewide drug education program that will concentrate on the colleges. * * * Some of the squares have been removed from Oregon ballots. That doesn't refer to candi dates. The Senate passed a bill Mon day that eliminates the use of squares in front of the blank lines on ballots and allows voters to write in a name without making a check. * • * Representative Richard L. Ken nedy (D-Eugene) has been try ing for four years to repeal Fran ces E. Willard Day, the fourth Friday in October. He made another try Monday. Kennedy wants to repeal the law which requires public schools to commemorate Frances E. Willard, a 19th century tern perance leader, by talking about the evils of drink. Kennedy says the schools ig nore the law. When he first introduced the bill four years ago, State Depart- j ment of Education officials said they didn’t know there was such a law. Legislators Air...

He says he has received letters from constituents with students at Southern Oregon College objecting to raising the fees there to the level equal to that of the University, Oregon State, and Portland State. Tuition at SOC and the other two regional colleges will be raised to the same level by fall of 1970 under the plan adopted by the Board of Higher Education. At present they pay S12 a term less. i ‘Higher education is more of a privilege than an absolute right, McKenzie siad. “It tends to make people more responsible when they have to pay something I don’t think they should take away all tuition.” Like Potts, McKenzie doesn’t think tuition keeps students out of state-supported institutions of higher education. ‘With scholar ships and grants, I think anybody who wants to go to school bad enough can,” he says. Representative Kennedy, however, maintains that it does keep people out of college. He also says there's enough money available for higher educa tion without the increase He thinks the board jumped just be cause Governor McCall snapped his fingers and that the Legisla ture ought to have the final say on tuition. Most legislators say they’re opposed to his idea, however. Speaker Montgomery says it would make the Legislature “a 90-member board of higher education.” Senate President Potts says, “If we start getting into that kind of thing, we’ll be doing nothing else but education I think it should be left to the board.” Kennedy says the Legislature is more sensitive to political pressures and thus might be less likely to raise tuition. But several legislators oppose the idea for the same reason: the Legislature’s political sensitivity. “It should be left to the board. They’re more removed from politics,” McKenzie says. “If you get involved in one part of higher education, like tui tion, you’ll step into others,” says Representative Hugh Me Gilvra (R-Forest Grove). McGilvra, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, prob ably summed up the overall legislative view of tuition when he commented: “You have to reconcile the ideal with the practical.” Campus Briefs Announcements (or Campus Briefs , must be turned in by 3 pjn. the day ' before publication.
