Campus Happenings Today THE IEC and Institute of In stitute of International Studies and Overseas Administration are sponsoring an informational meeting at 3 p.m. today in 101 EMU.

POLL WORKERS are need ed to help with the ASUO elec tions today and on Nov. 7 and 8. Anyone with an hour free on any of these days should come to Rm. 310 of the EMU and sign up to work at the general election poll booths. Students Plan Boycott of Stores A group of some 100 students, led by members of the Farm Workers Committee, met Tues day to discuss a boycott of Eugene chain stores to supple ment the national Delano grape strike led by Cesar Chavez in California. The group hopes to arouse support among two groups of grape consumers, namely stu dents in the dorms and citizens of Eugene who patronize local chain markets. It is hoped that the students in dorms can be organized to either refuse to eat the grapes served them in the cafeterias, or to carry boxes of grapes to University officials who buy dorm food and demand they dis continue serving California grapes. Shoppers at local chain mar kets will be confronted with pickets urging that they refuse to buy grapes from the stores. If the demand for grapes drops off, the committee hopes the stores can be persuaded to stop their orders for more California grapes. The boycott is part of an ef fort to force California grape growers to allow agricultural workers to unionize and thus raise the living standards among the thousands of migratory farm workers who harvest the grapes in California.

Candidate Predicts Large GOP Gains By CHRIS HERMANN Of the Emerald Republicans could gain 40 seats in Congress as a result of this election, or in other words, “Virtue will triumph," U.S. Rep. John Dellenback said Thursday. He also urged voters to make a “package decision,” or vote a straight ticket. Campaigning for re-election from this district against Demo crat Ed Fadeley, Dellenback al so talked about the draft and congressional reorganization at the public coffee hour at the Pi Kappa Alpha house. On the draft, Dellenback said the rules must be more “uni form.” He also said he feels that “young men should not have to sit on the edge of a razor,” from the time they turn 18 until their ineligibility is over, waiting for an induction notice. Congress should look for al ternatives to the draft, such as VISTA, Peace Corps or public health services, Dellenback sug gested. On the congressional struct ure, Dellenback said the senior ity system is too powerful. But rather than change seniority rules, Dellenback said he favors curbing the power of committee chairmanships, which seniority bestows. A committee chairman has "life and death” power over all bills which goes through his committee, Dellenback said. Some congressmen are work ing on reforms now, which in clude a possible re-election of a chairman from the top three members (in seniority) of a committee, he said. The senior congressmen, who have the most to lose, are fight ing reorganization, Dellenback said. But a growing block of young congressmen will back reorganization, he added. Questioned on a proposal to change U.S. representatives’ terms from two years to four years, Dellenback said he favor ed the present two-year term. The shorter term keeps a con gressman in closer contact with his constituents, due to more fre quent campaigning, he explain ed. The only drawback was the cost of such campaigning. 1 Typewriters Rent to Own Apply Rental to Purchase Price Only $5 per Month Hermes Olympia Royal Smith Corona IBM Olivetti STEREO EQUIPMENT Ampex Kenwood Bozak AR-Inc.

Opinions Favor (L outimica from page 1) on, said he didn't see how the announcement could change Nixon’s chances on Nov. 5. “I think it adds to Mr. Nix on’s credibility,” Gambell said. "The question asked most of us is why doesn’t Nixon speak out on Vietnam. This announce ment by the President is obvi ously one of the reasons. ‘One President at a time,” is the way Nixon puts it, and that’s the way it should be, Gambell said. Sen. Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., said in Washington, D.C. that he didn’t ascribe any political motives to Johnson’s decision. "I applaud him for taking this action," Ilatlield said. ‘'Some of us had hoped he would take it come years ago. I am happy that he will be able to go out a peace President, rather than a war President.” V4 CHICKEN & FRIES (Expires Dec. 9, 1968) With This Coupon For MmMastwlWggS Maximum Number of Orders on This Coupon Six (6) BRING YOUR FRIENDSti The NVitt Race Restaurant 1525 Franklim Bird.
