Senator Cant Explain Apathetic Graduates Hy MARGAItKT CAMPBKIJ, Of Ihc Kmrrald Twenty-five perrent of the total University student popula tion, approximately 3200 *tu dents, arc graduate .student*, Why are they aputhetic? (irnduate representative to the ASIJO, Senator llrucc Ger hardt, say* frankly that he does not know. Me spoke Tuesday in the see ond of the Informal Seminar Series. The lack of graduate student participation in student govern ment, i* probably a result of the common graduate beliefs that (1) student government is without any real authority on this campus and (2) student government, basically under graduate oriented, has no bear ing on graduate lives, Gcrhardt added. If more graduates would participate, they could accom plish henelicial changes through student government, Gcrhardt added. Illustrating the potential ASUO power, he said graduates have submitted a budget to the ASUO, asking for $19,000 of next year's incidental fee budget to support graduate programs. Gcrhardt emphasized the im portance of this bill to channel the incidental fee money from undergraduate and campus wide projects back to graduate stu dents. Graduates are now get Campus Planners Stomp Walkways The ASUO Planning Commit tee passed a resolution Tuesday stating no paths should be add ed in developed campus areas where students walk. The area behind the statue of the Pioneer Mother was men tioned in particular The motion also provided that walks be integrated with the overall plan of newly developed areas of the campus “for aes thetic value and economy of distance*.” During the Tuesday meeting, the committee planed to in vestigate a proposed plan by the physical plant to pottr sev eral concrete areas in Hayward Field for field and track sports such a* javelin, shot put and discus. They questioned where rugby and soccer would be played af ter this and discussed the pos sible use of the donor parking lot for a new playing field Loss of $18 Buries Granite SALEM (API—Granite, now down to a population of one, is still a city but will not get state highway funds this year. Granite — Buried under the snows of the Blue Mountains in Baker County at this time of year—would not even be a city any more except that one per son cannot hold an election to disincorporate. Granite got $18 from the S*ate Highway Fund last year. That was when Granite had a population of three. Now that it is down to one, the secretary of state’s office took Granite oil' the list of cities getting a share of the funds. The lonely Graniteer is Otis Ford, who once was city treas urer. The status of Granite came out when David Simpson, mem ber of the State Highway Com mission, spotted the omission in a meeting of the commission to day. DUCKS!

(•erhardt assumes that the student government, even though an undergraduate orient ed body can be an effective method of dealing with gradu ate issues. Discussion showed there is a question as to whether the gradu ate students should work through the ASUO. The feeling was expressed in discussion that if graduate students are to or ganize, they should do so through an independent organi zation such as the Graduate Stu dent Council Vietnam War OSU Professor Challenges State Department's History Hy CATH INGALLS Of (hr EmcriM Leonard Adolf, professor of history at Oregon State Univer sity, voiced his impressions of aspects concerning Vietnam in a World Affairs Briefing lec ture Tuesday. In the realm of the U.S. In volvement act, Adolph said, “I don't happen to agree with the history our State Depart ment tells us about the war. It is a war on the part of the Viet U.S. Supreme Court Affirms Teacher Oath WASHINGTON (Cl’S)—Tile supreme court has upheld the constitutionality of an affirma tivc state loyalty oath for teach ers in public schools and in tax exempt private schools. The court's ruling, it's the first in favor of such an oath, came in the form of a brief or der affirming a federal district court decision in New York. The district court had upheld the constitutionality of a New York law requiring all teachers in public schools and in private schools with tax-exempt status to swear to uphold the federal and state constitutions The action by the supreme court answers for the first time the question of whether any type of loyalty oath for teach ers is constitutional Since 1961, the court has declared loyalty oaths in five states unconstitu tional, but in each case the de cision was made on technical grounds The oaths thrown out by the court generally have re quired teachers to sign that they are not members or supporters of subversive groups. Thirty states presently re quire their teachers to take an affirmative type of loyalty oath. In upholding the oath’s con stitutionality, the federal dis trict court had said the oath imposes no restrictions upon ex pression by teachers, and that the state does not interfere with teachers by requiring them to support the governmental sys tems which nourish the institu tions in which they teach. - — Marry-Go-Round _ WARNER—ANDERSON The engagement of Nancy Warner, graduate student in Archi tecture, and Ivar R.

After Geneva 1954. the French attempted to stay and set up a puppet government in South Vietnam without consult ing public opinion.” Adolf went on to say that the United States supported that government for a fear of commu nism. The Vietnam area now is, according to Adolf, a battlefield for Americans against the Chi nese. Adolf feels with the groyning pressure on the Vietnamese, the war will spread into Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and eventually to China. The professor disagreed with persons who feel the Viet cong will soon be forced to the peace table. He also fears what kind of a government will be set up when the strength of the government is undermined by the military. Along with a fear of military government results, Adolf ques tioned the rehabilitation and re building programs of the gov ernment when corrupt officials are involved. Corrupt officials can undo a potentially construc tive program “in 30 minutes.” Adolf continued with the problems of education. “The peasants are the most slaughtered victims of the war,” said Adolf. He was asked many times why America and China fought each other on Vietna mese soil and why didn’t Am ericans go home. The peasants seemed to be in general agreement on three points, according to Adolf: 1) they want the war to end; 2) they want foreigners out and 3) they don’t like the Chinese. Up to this point the Vietna mese see only further war. The Japanese, Chinese Nationalists and the Americans have all been there to help but still there is endless slaughter. Many of the peasants are liv ing in squalor, stated Adolf. "They were left behind in the 20th century The occupation of the French, Japanese, the war for independence and a struggle between the United States and China has left the country poor. “The three million people are crowded and there is little pro vision for the people. Refugees pour in from the countryside in to Vietnam cities with no pro visions made. "There is little public spirit. They are not devoted to build ing public buildings. Their loy alty lies with the family. The war has not helped. Poverty, filth and disease are all too evi dent.” American military subverting the government and the lack of peasant participation in the 117 member constituent assembly were also highlighted in the speech. Incidental Taxes Prove Unhealthful Student incidental fees which go to the Health Service are not tax deductible, according to Donald Schade, of the Aux iliary Budget Office. “It’s a part of the student’s tuition fee and is not an extra fee which is directly given to the Health Service,” said Schade. In effect, the State Board is the one that gives the portion of the incidental fees to the Health Service, he said. Unlike the incidental fee for student health at UCLA, whieh is in the case of UCLA students tax deductible, the only part which is tax deductible is the part of our breakage fee whieh is used for medicines and other laboratory work.
