DAVID HARRIS (JOAN BAEZ) Resistence Symposium Begins Today Harris, Panels Begin Resistence Symposium A speech by David Harris, former Stanford University stu dent body president, draft resis ter and advocate of non-vio - lence, tonight in the EMU ball room, will mark the beginning of a three-day symposium on draft resistence. In his speech, Harris will dis cuss the draft resistence move ment and its implications for American society. A series of panel discussions will continue the symposium Thursday afternoon from 1 to 4 p.m. in the ballroom, cover ing the topics “Why Resist?”, “Building a New Community,” “Non-violent Revolution,” and “The Activity of the Eugene Resistance Community.” Thursday night at 8 p.m. three films will be shown, "Sons and Daughters,” “The Boston Draft Resistance” and “Vietnam Dia logue.” Friday night Harris’s wife, folk singer Joan Baez, will ap pear in Mac Court in a concert for the benefit of the resis tance beginning at 8 p.m. Harris has worked in Missis sippi with the Student Non - violent Coordinating Committee and in California with the Na tional Farm Workers who have led strikes against large farm owners for better pay and work ing conditions. Harris has said he believes non-violent activism is the only response to violent reflexes in our culture and that “taking control of one’s own life” is the central problem for young Americans. Harris feels that the draft and the Vietnam war are merely fo cal points in this effort. He has said, “Student dcferi' ments are immoral.

'Married Students Need Increased Dorm Housing By MAN WAI LAU Of the Emerald The need for married student housing is greater than that of single students, according to H. Philip Barnhart, director of University housing, during an interview. The reason, said Barnhart, is that the number of freshmen, who are required to live in Uni versity dormitories, is decreas ing while the number of grad - uate students is increasing. “About 60 per cent of the grad uate students are married,” said Barnhart. In 1961, there were 2,738 freshmen enrolled at the Uni versity. Last year, there were only 2,706. This year, the esti mated figure is even lower. The number of graduate stu dents, on the other hand, jump ed from 1,350 in 1961 to 3,660 last year. This year, the expect ed enrollment is round about four thousand. The above figures, however, do not suggest there are fewer high school graduates in Ore gon. In 1961, approximately 23 thousand students graduated from Oregon high schools. This year, the number is estimated as 31 thousand. In explaining the drop of freshmen enrollment, Barnhart said one reason is the number of community colleges has gone up in the past few years. “These community colleges absorb many high school graduates,” Barn hart said. The second reason, Barnhart further explained, is the Uni versity has become more sophis ticated and concentrates more in the upper division and the graduate school. At present, about a fourth of the student body are doing graduate work.

Last year, the percentage for freshmen class fell down to 19.5 while the percentage of graduate students jumped up to 26.3. "We plan the capacity and need of dormitories, according to the figures we have,” said Barnhart. He went on to explain why the need for married student housing is more important.” Three or four single students can afford to rent an off-cam pus apartment because there are three or four ‘incomes’ while a married student usually has only one and a half incomes to pay for the same apartment. At present, the rent for our married student housing units is cheaper than that of commu nity houses because we do not have to pay tax,” said Barn - hart. When asked when the Uni versity will build another dor mitory, Barnhart replied he is not sure. “An additional dorm of 370 beds has been consid (Continued on page 2) No Endorsement Humphrey Lacks McCarthy Yes' NEW YORK (AP) — Sen. Eu gene McCarthy, in his first ma jor political speech since losing the Democratic presidential no mination to Hubert Humphrey in August, declined again Tues day night to support the Vice President’s campaign. "The call goes out for party unity, just as it did a year ago,” McCarthy said. “It was not ac ceptable then, and it’s not any more acceptable today.” The Minnesota senator spoke at a $100-a-plate fund-raising dinner for New York Democra tic senatorial nominee Paul O’ Dwyer, a peace candidate who also has consistently refused to support Humphrey. McCarthy said his efforts to change the direction of the Dem ocratic Party were not aimed at getting anybody elected. But he said he saw "no reason why the direction of the party Symposium Schedule Wednesday: Video taping of Da vid Harris, 4 p.m., PL-3 Stu dios. Press conference, David Har ris, 4:30 p.m. at PL-3.

He listed three conditions he thought should be met to change the direction: Shifts in Vietnam war policy, a restructuring of the draft system and restructur ing of the party machinery. McCarthy received a three minute standing ovation from the 1,400 persons who packed the grand ballroom of the New York Hilton Hotel. Many stood on chairs and chanted, “We want Gene, we want Gene." McCarthy reviewed his efforts over the past year and said that he began his presidential cam paign more "to raise issues than to have or divide the Democratic Party.” He added, “We did not raise these issues to gain control. We did not raise the issues to win office.” In recent days speculation has centered around the possibility McCarthy might endorse the Vice-President since he declared ho would consider a cessation of the bombing of North Viet nam as an "acceptable risk” in the search for peace. Until now, McCarthy has not made a statement on the cam paign since the end of the con vention. He spent some time on vacation and has been covering the World Series of Baseball for Life magazine. McCarthy refused to endorse Humphrey after the latter was nominated even though Senator George McGovern, also a can didate for the Democratic no mination, appeared with Hum phrey the night of his accept ance speech. A number of former McCar thy supporters, including Ore gon Sen. Wayne Morse, have endorsed Humphrey’s candidacy. FALL LEAVES divert coed from a busy class schedule.
