Fishbowl Cleared In Bomb Search By HICK FITCH Of tbe Emerald The Erb Memorial Union Fish bowl was evacuated for 20 min utes Monday while police search ed for a bomb. The whole thing apparently was the result of a misunder standing. Clyde DeBerry, di rector of the School Desegrega tion Training and Research Cen ter at the University, said he overheard students joking about a bomb while in the Fishbowl. DeBerry repeated the joke in front of the EMU main desk about 10:30 a.m., and that set things off. Employes at the desk, ap parently taking DeBerry’s re marks seriously, called EMU Director Dick Reynolds who phoned the Eugene Police De partment and ordered that the Fishbowl be cleared of all pa trons. Partitions were put up, block ing access to the area, and from 10:40 to 11 a m., police officers looked for the bomb. Happily, their search proved fruitless. At 11, the parti tions were removed and stu dents rushed back in to lay claim to their favorite seats. “1 heard this man say some thing about a bomb rumor,” ex plained a main desk attendant present when DeBerry made his remarks. "Someone else asked if it was in the Fishbowl, and the man said yes, so we played it safe and called upstairs.” Reynolds would not speculate as to the source of the bomb scare "rumor” but commented, 'When we first announced that the Fishbowl was to be evacu ated, we didn’t say why. At that time several voices rang out that there was a bomb. It seem ed all part of a hoax.” Ticket Sales Begin For Social Revolution i ickcts are on sale today for the three-day, 'Symposium on Social Revolution,” to be held Feb. 19-21 at the University. Tickets may be purchased at the EMU main desk, at the Mat tox Pipe Shop, and at V e r n Meyer Insurance in Springfield. Although a change in the scheduling of the symposium Warhol 'Reappears' Warhol’s “second coming” has been definitely confirmed for Feb. 2. He will give a showing of some different films with a format similar to his “psondo appearance” at the University last term. The performance will be at 9 p.m„ Feb. 21, in the EMU Ballroom. There will be no charge to students. Traveling with Warhol is expected to be one of his female stars and bis manager, Paul Morrissy. Changes from Theoretical to Tactical Advice NS A Seeks New, Relevant Role manors note: me following Is the second of a three part series on what has happened to the National Student Associa tion since Ramparts magazine revealed that NSA had received extensive financing from the CIA. By PHIL SEMAS Collegial* Press Service WASHINGTON — Since last August the National Student Association (NSA) has fought for passage of a statement on student rights by an association of college presidents, sued Se lective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey, and run up a rec ord $7,000 phone bill in one month advising students on how to deal with campus problems. These are some oi NSA’s be ginning efforts at finding a new and relevant role in the wake of*the CIA controversy. Behind them lies .the story of an ex tensive effort to find a new "mission" for NSA. Until this year NSA confined its efforts on behalf of students to theoretical articles on educa tional refrom, exposure of stu dent concerns at its national congresses, speaking at meetings of educators, and mailing of written information. BasicaUy, liliiii!ii!liliii::i : lUMiiimiinmuiiiiiiiiiiiiinimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiii Campus Happenings page 3 Sports .page 4 Campus Briefs page 5 page 5 Classifieds . Editorial .... pages 6, 7 iHimimiin!iiuiiniimr>niinm;inifiimiiii!ii!iiiniiiniiiiiiiimiiim!iiiimiiiiiiiiium nsa ran whatever programs it could get money for. And it provided the best services to its biggest client, the Central Intelligence Agency, although those services were irrelevant to students’ needs. The 50 people who work in NSA’s renovated building (orig inally given it by the CIA, though NSA now pays half the mortgage) are trying to give NSA’s elforts new importance and the focus that has been badly lacking. The new focus, says NSA President Ed Schwartz, is “to create new options for student action and growth.” This, he says, involves first finding ways to give students greater re sponsibility over their own af fairs. Second, students must be provided with new outlets in educational reform, community action, and responding to politi cal issues. These are some of the things NSA is doing: • “Student Power” has be PSC Censures Hershey Letter From the Portland Stale Vanguard The Portland State College faculty voted overwhelmingly last week to censure General Lewis B. Ilershey for his Oc tober 26 letter to the draft boards concerning protestors. But they defeated a second part of the same resolution which would have requested a suspension of military recruit ing on campus until Hershey’s letter was either rescinded or clarified. General Hershey’s letter rec ommended that students involv ed in demonstrations at induc tion centers and recruiting sta tions be stripped of their defer ments, declared delinquent, and inducted into the armed forces. —At the meeting, two docu ments coming from the Selective Service Board published in De cember were read, cited as mod ifying Hershey’s plan, used as evidence against the resolution. The faculty expressed a gen eral accord with the documents, but this action was taken after a dozen faculty membersTeft the meeting in an apparent attempt to leave those remaining without a quorum, thus unable to pass this measure which tempered the original censure proposal. Most faculty members felt that to ban military recruiters on campus would interfere with the students’ right of access of information. It was suggested that stu dents themselves vote on whe ther they wanted recruiters on campus. But this was rejected because, as Portland State Pres ident Branford Millar said, “Stu dents should not set college pol icy.” come a cliche in the commercial press and in the vocabulary of many students. It usually means students having complete au thority over policies that affect only them, such as social rules, and a major student role in more general policymaking, such as curriculum formulation. To give students that kind of power NSA has changed its emphasis from theoretical pa pers on students’ rights to what Schwartz calls ‘ tactical advice’’ in efforts to gain some of those rights. Besides the bulging tele phone bill, NSA is sending more of its staff members to cam puses to provide advice to local students. Schwartz, for example, was at the University of Wiscon sin during the demonstratioins there last fall. Schwartz hopes to eventually see "sub-networks of student power’’ in which schools in the same area will co-ordinate to ward the same goals. Such co ordination of efforts could come later this spring over imple mentation of NSA's resolution on student power or the Joint Statement on the Rights and Freedoms of Students. The Joint Statement has been a major NSA project. It has been approved by three of the five organizations that drafted it. Schwartz made a major effort last month to get it passed by the American Association of Col leges, the statement’s major hur dle. Though it has weaknesses, the statement guarantees many student rights. "Two or three hundred campuses will gain sub stantially if the Joint Statement is implemented,” says Schwartz. (Continued on page 3) has resulted in the cancellation of five speakers, a panel discus sion on "Black Power” has been added to the conference. The conference on social rev olutions in the United States is sponsored by the ASUO Speak ers and Debate Bureau and will be held here Feb. 19-21. One of the cancelled speak ers, Governor Claude Kirk of Florida, will not be able to make it to Oregon for the conference. The others were cut for lack of funds. They are Roger Lippman and Greg Calbert of the na tional Students for a Democrat ic Society, and Dave Kean and Jim Harris of the Young Amer icans for Freedom. Due to this change, Dave Dil lenger, editor of Liberation mag azine, will speak at 7 p.m. Mon day instead of Wednesday, and Brent Bozell, conservative col umnist, will move to 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Panel members of the session on Black Power will include Clyde DeBerry, regional direc tor for Racial Equality, and di rector of the School Desegrega tion Training and Research In stitute at the University; Bobby Seale, representative of the Black Panther Party of San Francisco; Jay Parker, member of the national board of direc tors of Young Americans for Freedom; and Brent Bozell, who helped Barry Goldwater write ‘‘Conscience of a Conservative.” The panel discussion will take place Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 20, in the EMU Ballroom. Panel discussions will also be held on the future of Amer ican politics, draft resistance, and Communism. Evening speeches will be given by Ben jamin Spock, Negro playwright Leroi Jones, and Fultin Lewis III, conservative news commen tator. The public may attend the panel discussion-for 25 cents per person, and the evening lec tures for $1 per lecture. Univer sity students, faculty and staff will be assessed a one - time charge of 50 cents to attend all symposium events. $5 Million Given Medical School WASHINGTON ‘JP>—The Uni versity of Oregon Medical School in Portland has received more than $5 million in federal money for two major building projects. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare said Monday the money will be used to build a seven-story basic sci ence building and a nine - story addition to the Medical School Hospital. The expanded facilities will also make room for 29 more first-year medical students at the school.
