OREGON DAILY Emerald JUNIOR WEEKEND ' ELECTION WEDNESDAY Page 3 VaLLZVD UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, MONDAY, APRIL 19, KM7 No. 1«3 Flemming Approves New Closing Hours Extended clotting hour* for women at the University will go into effect next fall, according to University President Arthur S. Flemming. Flemming approved the change in a memorandum to the Stu dent Conduct Committee: “I have approved the action taken by the Student Conduct Committee to extend women's closing hours from 11 p.m. to mid night Sunday through Thursday and from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. "Also I concur in the action of the committee in designating the beginning of the academic year 1967 68 as the effective date of the change. It would be difficult to make the administrative adjust ments that would have to be made in order to make the changes effective at an earlier date.” Pledge Classes Represent U.S. In Festival Eleven pledge classes will be competing at 7:30 p.m. today in the Student Union Ballroom to represent the United States in the fourth annual International Festival next weekend.

Of that total, $125 million would come from state tax funds. The rest comes from other sources, chiefly student tuition and federal and private grants. In past years the State Board has presented its budget requests to the legislature on the basis of enrollment projections and de sired student-teacher ratios. This year, at the request of the Legislature, Chancellor Roy E. Lieuallen is also providing in formation on functions and costs. Tuition Hearing Senator L. W. N'ewbry (R-Ash land), chairman of the subcom mittee, said this additional in formation will speed considera tion of the budget. He says he hopes the budget will reach the House floor in about four weeks. One major issue which is ex pected to come up is the proposed tuition hike. Both the governor and the board have recommended the increase. Newbry says he will probably have a special hearing on tuition, at which students will be allow ed to present their views. Although the Legislature does not have the power to set tuition rates, it could make the increase unnecessary by voting more I money to higher education. There is also a bill, introduced by Repre sentative Richard Kennedy <D ’ Eugene), - to.- require legislative j approval of any tuition increases Instruction Budget First Lieuallen said last week that the first part of the budget to be considered by the subcommittee will be for instruction, related re search, and general services. Both the State Board and Gov ernor McCall have recommended a total instruction budget of $134.6 millio- The board origi nally proposed $161.3 million but it has singe endorsed McCall’s recommendations. The other major division of the operating budget — public serv ices, such as the agricultural ex tension activities of Oregon State —will be considered after the in struction budget. The public services request to tals $40 million with a state ap propriation of $24.8 million. The big plus in the instruction budget recommended by Gover nor McCall is in the area of fac ulty salaries. McCall says he is asking $9.5 million more than his predecessor, Mark Hatfield, did for salary improvements. Higher education’s building budget will probably be consider ed in about a week, according to Lieuallen. It totals $65.3 million and 35 projects. Only $10 million for buildings comes from taxes. Mc Call proposes to make up the rest through the sale of bonds. However, several legislators have indicated they may ques tion the wisdom of so much bond ing. University projects included in the building program are a third addition to the science building, an addition to the architecture building, an addition to women’s physical education facilities, a new legal center, a co-operative living dormitory complex, and an administration building to replace Emerald HalL Emerald Editor To Be Selected Selection of the 1967-68 Em erald editor and Emerald busi ness manager will be made during the next regular meet ! ing of the Student Publications Board, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday at the Stu dent Union.

Committee OK's New PhD Plans PORTLAND (AP)—The Aca demic affairs Committee of the State Board of Higher Educa tion has approved a doctoral pro gram in resource and physical geography at Oregon State Uni versity. The program will begin in the fall of 1968 if the full board gives its approval. The committee also discussed Thursday a Senate bill that would pump an extra $2 million into Portland State College to permit science-related doctoral j programs by the fall of 1969. i Two committee members, J. W. ■ Forrester, Jr., and Mrs. Elizabeth I Johnson, said they first would i want the legislature to appropri ate about $2.8 million to bolster present programs. They said that money could be used for University of Oregon Medical and Dental school stalls, for maintenance and expansion of agricultural and forestry services at Oregon State University, and for addition of clerical and as sistant positions at colleges and (Continued on page 2) Students to Protest War In Mass Demonstration The students of the Student-Faculty Committee to Stop the War In Viet Nam plan to participate in a mass march and rally held in San Francisco Saturday, according to William Meyer, student chairman of the committee. The idea for "the greatest peace demonstra tion ever held” is credited to the Reverend A. J. Muste. Muste died last February while the dem onstration was still in the planning stage. The demonstration is planned to bring together people from all walks of life, particularly civil rights, peace, religious, labor, and educational leaders. There will be two main centers of the demon stration. In New York, a speech by Martin Luther King, will be featured at the end of a march. In San Francisco, the march will stretch some four miles and end in Kezar stadium where speeches will be heard. The chairman in charge of the west coast demonstration is Edward Keating, publisher of Ramparts magazine. Meyer said that the emphasis is to be upon mobilization and action. He said this is to be "the biggest show ever of opposition to the present policy.” Meyer said the goal for the operation is no less than one million participants. Meyer commented that the demonstration was not an end in itself but only a show of strength and a kickoff for a national gathering of petitions in all 50 states. These petitions would express dissatisfaction of present foreign policy and indicate support of UN Secretary-General U Thant’s peace proposals: • The cessation of the bombing of North Viet Nam. • An immediate ceasefire and truce. • Negotiations to reconvene concerning the 1954 Geneva Conference on Indochina. It is hoped that at least a million of these peti tions will be signed, and that "a national peace lobby’’ can be established in Washington, D.C., according to Meyer. Meyer said that in addition to various religious and political groups opposed to the war. there are 135 business organizations on the West Coast supporting the opposition to the war. Meyer also said that the Student-Faculty Com mittee to Stop the War in Viet Nam will hold a meeting at 8 p.m. today in the SU for people who have cards or need transportation to the San Francisco demonstration. Additional information on the rally and pledge sheets can be obtained at a table on the SU terrace weekdays. Information will also be provided concerning a Eugene peace walk to be held Saturday spon sored by The Citizens for a Sane Foreign Policy.
