Upward Bound officials ap pealed to the administration last week for a ruling on the “normal progress” report re quired for student deferments. “A deferment is granted on the basis of normal progress made towards a degree in a school year,” said Mohr. “The University arbitrarily establish es the number of hours a stu dent must complete to fulfill the requirements.” Presently the University sets 15 hours a terms as the stand ard for three terms according to Mohr. “Upward Bound students are regular freshmen,” Mohr re ported, “having completed a summer program before enter ing the University. Most are cul turally deprived and would not enter college under normal con ditions.” According to Mohr, these stu dents usually average less than the normal number of hours in their first year at the University. The average is between 27 and 30, and when the selective service is told the students are not completing the standard 45 hours, the deferment is refused. “All we are asking,” said Mohr, “is that the University consider the position of a stu Lecturer Returns; Assumes Position Edward Diltek, associate pro fessor of German at the Univer sity has returned from Germany where he was a Fulbright lec turer for one academic year.

Eugene Recipient Dies at Stanford STANFORD <A>> — Leonard Drake, who received a new heart Aug. 22, died Monday night of pneumonia at Stan ford University Hospital. Drake, a retired postal clerk from Eugene, Ore., had made a normal post operative recovery until Sept. 21, when he suffer ed a “rejection episode,” doc tors said. He contracted pneumonia and his condition became critical Saturday. Drake was being treated with drugs used to suppress t h e body’s natural tendency to re ject foreign tissues. One of the major problems in organ transplantation, doctors said, is that these powerful drugs also suppress the body’s ability to fight off germs, thus making patients susceptible to infections. Drake is survived by his wid ow, Wanda; two children, Jim my and Vickie, and his par ents. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Drake, all of Eugene.
