interested in activities of Black
students and the BSU.
Members of the BSU are
available to answer questions
and offer aid to Black students
in need of assistance at the
University. A Speaker’s Bureau
has been established to provide
speakers for campus and com
munity activities. Persons wish
ing further information should
go to room 15 of the EMU
or call University extension
1984 or 1986.
Also last week the BSU elect
ed new officers to serve during
the coming year. Johnny Hollo
way was re-elected president
and Art Jenkins was elected
vice-president.
Six committees were estab
lished to better meet the de -
mands being placed on the BSU.
The Speaker’s Bureau, Janies

and research information on
Black people, and provide as

Author Speaks
For McCarthy
Leonard Lewin, free lance
writer and author of the contro
versial book, “Report from Iron
Mountain,” will be at the Uni
versity today campaigning for
Senator Eugene McCarthy. He
will speak at 3 p.m. in 370
Commonwealth.
He is also planning Univer
1 sity appearances at the World
Affairs Briefing Center at 12:30
and at a reception at Westmin
ister House sponsored by Joan
Acker at 4 p.m.
The book is controversial in
that he claims it is a true re
port of the findings of a gov
ernment commission and that
these findings were suppress
ed. The committee’s findings
were, according to Lewin, that
a lasting peace is not in the
best interests of a stable so
ciety.
Lewin, who is also known un
der the pen name of L.L. Case,
is editor of the anthology,
“Treasury of American Humor.”
The book, according to the
Literary Guild, caused a “sen
sation in Washington” when it
was first published anonymous
ly
Besides his University appear
ance which is being sponsored
by the ASUO Speakers and De
bates Bureau and the Students
for McCarthy, Lewin will ap
pear on the Dolf James radio
show (station KORE) at 2 p.m.
and in general all matters per
taining to academics for BSU
members.
The Social Activities Commit
tee, Phil Saunders, chairman,
will work to implement activi
ties for fund raising, aid out
of-town Blacks who are visiting
the University and generally to
form cohesive social units to go
along with other activities of
the BSU.
BSU members are optimistic
about the role they will play
next year in making the Univer
sity a better place for Black
students to study and live.
They now have the facilities to
accomplish this task and invite
interested students to contact
the BSU office for information
and assistance.
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

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.

Education Group
Stages Sleep-in
Students from the School of
Education held a sleep-in in
the D. 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.
The students did not wish
to release their complaints to
the press before the faculty was
informed of them, “in fairness
to the faculty.’’ The spokesman
expressed concern that public
ity before the meeting might
further damage relations with
the students.
All members of the School
of Education faculty were no
tified Monday of the meeting,
according to the spokesman.
The students held meetings
Monday night to prepare the
list of grievances against the
faculty, to be given at the Tues
day morning meeting.
