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.

by “living-in” at LHR head
quarters for over a week, was
given her job back after a
closed personnel meeting last
Monday.
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.
