Dorms Needed...

ered for the 1969-71 period, but
it is way down on the State
Board of Higher Education’s
priority list,” said Barnhart.
The University maintains six
dormitories, accommodating 3,
143 students, mostly in double
rooms. Seventy-eight beds are
rented to VISTA on a special
student rate.
Carson Hall, built about 19
years ago, with a capacity of 320
students, is the oldest. Hamilton
Hall, with 832 students in 10
units, is the largest. Bean Hall,
housing 736 students in eight
units, is the newest.
In the fall term of 1966 (this
year’s figures are not available)
the number of male and fe
male student? was approximate
ly equal. The same charter also
shows there were 2,147 Oregon
students living in the dorms.
California led other states by
placing 471 students in the
dorms. Second on the list was

As far as leaving the coun
try to avoid the draft, Harris
said, “I have a basic hangup
about being run out of any
place. I was run out of too
many places in Mississippi.”
Harris is now facing a three
year prison sentence for open
ly resisting ihe Selective Serv
ice System and openly advocat
ing resistance by others.
Miss Baez has long been ac
tive in non-violent movements
and has devoted much of her
income from concerts to the
sponsorship of an Institute for
the Study of Non-violent Action.
In addition to her political
activities, Miss Baez has been
acclaimed by music critics at
the Newport Folk Festival as
“fresh” and “original.”
Her music “transcends pol
itics” in the words of the pub
lic relations director of the
ASUO Social Division, a co -
sponsor with the Campus Draft
Committee of the concert.
Tickets for the concert are
available at the EMU main desk
and Mattox Pipe Shop. Harris’s

Washington with 87 students.
Hawaii, the youngest state in
the nation, had 45. Canada had
35 while the number from all
other countries was 107.
Answering the question about
the cost per student in the
dorm, Barnhart said it costs
between five to six thousand
dollars. “The States does not
pay the money. The dorms are
financed by the selling of gen
eral obligation bonds and dor
mitory fees students pay. Of
the money a student pays per
year, more than $200 are used
to pay the bond and interest,”
said Barnhart.
In the coming year, Barnhart
estimated, the University will
pay $632,000 for the dormitories.
“It takes between 25 to 30
years to pay off a whole com
plex,” Barnhart further stated.
“The dorm occupancy in
Michigan and Ohio State Uni
versities is low and we must
be careful so we don’t have
empty dorms around here,” said
Barnhart.
By way of summary, Barn -
hart said if there were space
in the dorms, the housing office
would have placed about 300
more students this year. At the
moment, there are still more
than 100 upperclassmen on the
waiting list.
“We have no way of finding
how many would have applied
after the final day of applica
tion,” concluded Barnhart.
Op Cit Director
Sought by ASUO
Director Zed Crawley of Op
eration Citizenship (Op-Cit.),
has resigned from his position
leaving it open for petitioners.
Other activities, said Crawley,
make it difficult for him to
continue as director.
Op-Cit is an ASUO program
which deals with student-initi
ated community projects. One
of these projects is a summer
visit by students to Mexico.
During the school year com
munity service projects are ini
tiated to raise money for such
visits.
Also, this summer ten stu
dents participated in a Cot
tage Grove recreation program.
Some of the organizations that
operate through Op-Cit are
Community Action and Migrant
Labor programs.
Qualifications for the director
ship include being a full-time
student at the University and
being interested in working
long hours in community proj
ects.

Penitentiary Asks for Textbooks
The Oregon State Penitentiary
in Salem needs books for its ed
ucational programs, after fire
destroyed 90 per cent of its li
brary in the riot last spring, the
penitentiary director of educa
tion said last week.
There were 40,000 to 50,000
volumes in the prison library,
director William Pahrman said.
“It took us years and years to
get them,” he sighed, “and they
were destroyed in just hours.”
The prison runs educational
programs at grade school, high
school and college levels. Near
ly 40 per cent of all inmates
are in one of these programs,
Pahrman said, the same number
as before the riot.
That percentage is “quite
high” in comparison with other
penitentiaries, Pahrman said.
The greatest need is for grade
school level texts Pahrman
stressed, although all types of
educational books are needed.
There are 79 inmates on their
way to earning an eighth grade
diploma, Pahrman said. There
are 124 inmates working on high
school diplomas in the prison
program, he continued. He add
ed that 79 more inmates are
following a self-study course at
either the grade or high school
levels.
One hundred inmates are
earning college credits, trans
ferrable to any Oregon state
school, through the prison pro
gram, and another 170 inmates
are taking college correspond
ence programs, Pahrman said.
Reference books and books of
“general interest” are needed,
as well as text books, he said.
Persons wishing to donate
books should mail them to the
Oregon State Penitentiary
Warehouse in Salem, he said.
He also asked that senders first
call him at 364-6851, ext. 312,
to notify him.
Persons with no books to do
nate may help the pentitentiary
by writing the Oregon State Leg
islature and asking to give the
prison education programs
‘ enough money to get our feet
back on the ground,” Pahrman
said, adding, “I’m tired of ply
wood partitioned classrooms.”

Read
Faster
...Not by just skimming or scanning
p
You ask, READ FASTER, what for? How can it help me? If you could read at least
three times faster* think of all the extra time you could devote to your studies,
as well as the things you would like to do, but never have the time for!
It would mean the end of all of those frantic hours at the end of the term trying
to catch up on your reading, you wouldn't have to burn the midnight oil anymore,
and the fact of retaining more of what you read could cut a lot of time out of those
review seminars before midterms.
But reading faster isn't all. What if we told you that you can learn a better way
of taking notes. . .a method by which you could take better notes in class as well
as a quick and easy way to outline a chapter in the time it takes to read this
newspaper?
Sounds pretty near impossible doesn't it? Well it's not. You can start the Evelyn
Wood Reading Dynamics course right now and start reading rapidly by the time
midterms roll around. Do yourself (and your G.P.A.) a favor, come to a demonstra
tion of the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course.
*We guarantee to refund your tuition if we don't triple your reading efficiency.
