Ultimatum Served To LHR Center Problems at Lane Human Re sources prompted a clear-up-or be-closed-up ultimatum to LHR from its parent agency, the Of lice of Economic Opportunity, with June 14 set as the deadline. In a letter read at a special LHR board meeting Saturday, OEO’s Community Action Pro gram (CAP) regional adminis trator in San Francisco wrote: “This is to serve notice that OEO will discontinue its past association with Lane Human resources on or about June 14, if the present crisis, as mani fest with the CAP board, staff and administration, are not clearly and visibly moving towards a resolution.” LHR is Lane County’s Com munity Action Agency to con duct anti - poverty programs. LHR’s internal strife over policy and programs goes back over a year, but the climax came May 1 when some of the poor began picketing LHR head quarters. The picketers rallied around the dismissal resignation of Mrs. Glennellen Morgan, but the total issue was the complete structure of LHR, picketers dis closed in a statement. Specifically, the picketers asked for more voice in deciding policies and programs, arid for a cutback in administrative costs.

The board also tentatively agreed to place the entire ad ministrative staff on 30 days terminal notice. At the Saturday meeting, however, directors de cided to defer action until the completed planning proposal comes before the board. The proposal is LHR’s hope of survival with OEO. If LHR loses OEO support, Lane Coun ty would lose $315,000 in an nual federal funds. If LHR is closed, there would probably be no funds for an other anti-poverty agency in the county for 10 years, a state OEO official said. The official, Paul Pearson, added that he thought LHR was the worSt run anti-poverty in the state. “They (the directors) exhibit a real inability to make deci sions on major issues. “The central question is, how does this affect service to the poor?” Pearson asked. Evidently the poor who pick eted feel it affects them very much. LHR, said their state ment, is waging a “war against the poor,” instead of a war against poverty. OSU Students Urge President to Remain CORVALLIS ia>> — Students and faculty urged President James H. Jensen last week to continue as president of Oregon State University, rather than ac cept a possible appointment to the Atomic Energy Commission. Rumors that President John son would appoint Jensen to the commission were widely print ed earlier this week. John Fraser, student body president, expressed “deep con cern about the possibility” of Jensen’s resignation in a let ter printed Thursday in the Oregon State Daily Barometer, student newspaper. “It is our intention that the coming year be unprecedented in the university’s realization of educational quality and free doms,” the letter said. “We feel that your contin ued leadership is essential to these aspirations and that a temporary holder of your office could scarcely develop the rap port characteristic of your ad ministration. “Again may we express our concern and hope that you will remain as president of Oregon State University.” The six-member executive committee of the Faculty Senate also had published a letter ask ing Jensen to remain. Members suggested that he could “render the greater serv ice to the community, state and nation by continuing as chief executive of the university.
