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

the three-day, 'Symposium on
Social Revolution,” to be held
Feb. 19-21 at the University.

9 p.m„ Feb. 21, in the EMU
Ballroom. There will be no

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,

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:

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.

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.
