The BSU office grew out of the list of demands presented to University President Arthur Flemming in April.

McCarthy in Oregon Hopeful Lauds State Staff PORTLAND 'A**—"Unless I win here in Oregon, Pll have to blame myself,” Sen. Eugene McCarthy told a crowd of sev eral hundred partisans in the Lloyd Center mall Monday. It was one of his several ref erences in a brief Oregon visit to what he called the good con dition of his organization in this state. McCarthy, seeking the Demo cratic nomination in Oregon’s May 28 presidential primary, said there had been many refer ences to the ineptness of his organization. He said it took him only a little while Monday to determirte that was not so here. He was greeted by several hundred volunteers who jammed his headquarters in the old Elks Temple on Southwest IOth Ave nue. He gave them a talk of en couragement, shook hands, then addressed the Portland Cham ber of Commerce Members’ Forum on the integrity of the WHAT POVERTY CAN DO Another statistic in Oregon’s record See page 3 for related story. Rockefeller & Reagan (RR) Express Richard Nixon Derailment Scheme By DOUG ONYON Of the Emerald Editor’s Note: This is the second in a five-part series on the five major announced candidates for President. The Time Magazine dream ticket of Nelson Rockefeller and Ronald Reagan may soon become a reality. Rockefeller said, following a meeting with the California gover nor Monday, “if you could get a ticket that reflects both points of view in the party, then it gives great strength.” It is this great strength that Rockefeller needs so badly now in his bid for the Presidency. Rockefeller, in his on-again, ofl'-again campaign has chosen to go the same route as Hubert Humphrey: by-passing the primaries and wooing the state conventions. With Reagan on his ticket the R&R team could just derail Nixon. Rockefeller, in the latest Gallup Poll, beats all three of the announced Democratic opponents by a larger margin than Richard Nixon. Rockefeller is a long-time nemesis of Nixon’s. In 1960, the New York Governor forced Nixon to adopt a modified platform in re turn for his support. The Governor also turned-down Nixon s offer for the vice presidency; a key factor in Nixon’s eventual defeat. With Rockefeller running so strongly in 1964, Nixon stayed clear of the Presidential race. Rockefeller took a long time in making up his mind this cam paign to challenge leading Nixon. Speaking on the primaries Rocke feller said, “I think I could have destroyed Dick in Oregon, and he would have destroyed me.” Dropping-out of the campaign in March, Rockefeller lost such strong supporters as Oregon Governor Tom McCall and Maryland Governor Siro Agnew. Agnew is now courting Nixon for the vice presidency. At that time Rockefeller stated, ‘ Quite frankly, 1 find it clear at this time that a considerable majority of the party’s leaders want the candidacy of former Vice President Richard Nixon. I would like to reiterate unequivocally my non-candidacv.” What changed Rockefeller’s mind in April was Thurston Mor ton, senator from Kentucky. Morton convinced Rockefeller that the Republicans should have a choice in 1988 and provide a forum for Republican issues. The demise of President Johnson in the campaign also made Rockefeller re-evaluate his lust for the White House. Appearing two years ago as a hawk,” Rockefeller has been gravitating towards a ‘‘dove” position. He now advocates self determination fo rthe South Vietnamese, even if they want to go Communist: “If that is what they want to do, that is their idea of freedom.” He has also said, ‘ We re going to have to live with the Commu nists, but we want to live too, and they’ve got to recognize this.” On domestic issues Rockefeller's record in his state has been liberally oriented. During his tenure as Governor of New York he has increased aid to secondary and elementary schools by 170%, tripled the size of the state university system, inaugurated a $1 billion program to end water pollution, pushed through a $1.50 minimum wage, and proposed a $2.5 million program to modernize mass transportation. This liberal approach to domestic issues and his ‘‘dove-like” stand in Vietnam produces a sharp contrast to that of Reagan’s. But, Rockefeller, after their meeting Tuesday said there is no ‘ ideology gulf” between them—a necessary statement if Rocke feller wants to win the Republican nomination. institutions of government. He called the topic one of impor tance despite its lack of head line appeal. He got applause at the end but in contrast to his talk two weeks ago to the Portland City Club, there was none punctuat ing his remarks as he went along. A rally in the Lloyd Center mall came in an interval be tween showers and there was no need for the umbrellas that were spotted here and there. A $25-a-head reception fol lowed that before he headed for an evening meeting in San Francisco. He returns Tuesday for more campaigning. The names on the Democrat ic ballot are those of Kennedy, McCarthy and President John son. Humphrey’s name is listed for vice president and there has been some effort to persuade his backers to vote the John son-Humphrey slate as evi - dence of support for Humphrey for president.

Busk Center of the edu cation building Monday night. They planned to meet with the education faculty at 8 a.m. to day in the D. Busk area to pre sent grievances against recent actions taken by the faculty, ac cording to an anonymous spokesman.
