Meet with Johnson
Administrative policy
probed by legislators
By DON MACK
Of the Emerald
Six Oregon legislators met with University administrators and
students Saturday, seeking answers to a variety of questions on
University policy.
Charles Duncan, dean of faculties, explained the Education sub
committee of the Legislature's Joint Ways and Means Committee
was at the L niversity “to gather facts and get impressions.”
The committee will eventually make recommendations to the
parent body about the education budget,” Duncan said.
He explained the subcommittee was concerned with University
dorm policy and future construction plans.
Acting President Charles Johnson, who described the 2^-hour
question and answer session as “cordial,” said the subcommittee
indicated the Legislature is facing extreme problems finding
enough funds for spending on higher education.
Other topics which “just sort of came up,” according to Duncan,
were possible acquisition of Pioneer Memorial Cemetery, the shanty
tow-n on the EMU lawn, and the University Press, although the
legislators did not come to investigate them.
Don Chalmers, chairman of the ASUO senate governing commit
tee, represented the student conduct committee and the student
dorm point of view, as did Dick Henderson of the Inter-Dorm
Council. Bob Winger represented student government as president
of the ASUO Senate.
STRESSES RESPONSIBILITY
When the discussion turned to the student conduct and dorm
visitation policy, Chalmers said he “tried to stress the goal of the
conduct program is not to provide totally ‘moral’ people, but to
develop people who are sensitive to ethics and responsible to those
around them.”
“I think we convinced them that we’re not sliding into the
quagmire of dubious morals, as some would have them believe,”
Chalmers said.
At one point in the session, according to Register-Guard reports,
Rep. Stafford Hansell, R-Athena, told the administrators that legis
lators are concerned that we don’t lose our freedom to appropri
ate,” though they don't intend to “tread on academic freedom.”
Chalmers later responded to Hansell's statement. “I thought we'd
had a successful interaction and consideration of the issues until
Rep. Hansell made it clear who controlled the money.”
He wanted to remind us where the real power of appropriation
lies,” Chalmers contended.
OBJECTS TO SHACKS
Subcommittee chairman Philip Lang, D-Portland, challenged
Johnson’s decision to let the shacks remain on the EMU lawn, ac
cording to Guard reports.
“Im not in agreement with you on this,” Lang told Johnson. “This
is an administrative responsibility of your office to take care of
them, and as I see it, you failed to do it.”
Johnson said the shacks were no more unsightly than home
coming signs, and were in fact more meaningful since they are
meant to call attention to poverty in Lane County.
The shacks do not disrupt the educational process and now have
sponsorship of several University organizations, he added.
LEGITIMATE FORCE’
Chalmers said Winger expressed the view that student govern
ment could be a legitimate force at the University. Students having
the control they do is good for the University, Winger said.
Johnson backed up Winger, Chalmers said, by telling the sub
committee that student participation in itself is an educational ex
perience.

Ombudsman, parking strike
endorsed in Senate action
Editor’s Note: The following is the conclu
sion of Friday's ASUO Senate meeting report
which was omitted because of space limita
tions.
By STEVE SMITH
Of the Emerald
Bills calling for the creation of a campus om
budsman. a change in the library's lighting, regu
lar joint faculty and student Senate meetings and
a change in parking fees, were approved in
Thursday night ASUO Senate action.
The business portion of the meeting followed
a two hour talk and discussion led by State Rep
resentative Robert Davis of the House Task Force
Committee on Higher Education.
Bob Lothian introduced a measure calling for
the creation of a campus ombudsman.
According to the bill, the ombudsman would
act as intermediary for members of the Univer
sity community. His main functions would include
explaining policy, answering complaints, and
opening channels of communication for all per
sons.
Following passage of the amendments, the
main resolution was approved unanimously.
The faculty and University president must now
take action on the matter.
Senate President Bob Winger introduced a
bill recommending restriction of faculty mem
bers to faculty parking lots. Also included was
a clause recommending students not pay park
ing fees until more spaces are provided.
According to Winger, the bill was designed
to show Senate support of an expected boycott
of parking fees next fall term.
Winger argued that students are paying park
ing rates disproportionately high compared to
faculty rates.
The bill was passed.
The Senate recommendation will be taken into
consideration, should the expected boycott result
in reconsideration of fees.
The Senate unanimously passed a request for
a joint meeting of the Faculty and ASUO Senates
The bill, introduced by Don Chalmers, was
based upon the precedent set by an earlier meet
ing of the two bodies.
Before final approval, Ben Kalb amended the
bill to include a clause requesting machinery be
created to establish regular meetings of the two
groups.
The request will now be forwarded to the
Faculty Senate for further consideration, and
expected approval.
Also passed at the meeting, was a bill calling
for the improvement of lights in the University
library.
The bill described the library’s lighting as “un
naturally harsh and hard on the eyes of students
who are studying.”
Said Rasekh introduced the bill which passed
easily.
In other business, the Senate approved of rou
tine committee appointments.
Winger announced that Bob Barclay, a leader
of the Senate's conservative factions, has resign
ed from the Senate. According to Winger, Bar
clay is no longer a student.
Motions to suspend the rules for consideration
of bills calling for higher pay for graduate teach
ing assistants, and support of the Lane United
Communities were defeated.
The Senate also considered, but later tabled
two bills coming out of the ASUO Governing
Committee.
The one bill called for the abolishment of
closed meetings by ASUO and student organiza
tions. The other admonished the Student Ad
ministrative Board and Acting University Presi
dent Charles Johnson to work through regular
administrative channels.
The bills were presented in reaction to a
closed meeting held by the SAB last Monday
night, according to Governing Committee Chair
man Don Chalmers.
The SAB meeting in question was concerned
with the presence of the shacks presently stand
ing on the EMU lawn. President Johnson called
the meeting and requested that it be closed. The
decision of the SAB was given directly to Presi
dent Johnson for his approval.
Chalmers said the action of the SAB by-passed
the normal channels of policy establishment, by
not presenting the SA3 decision to the ASUO
president for approval, before sending it on to the
University president.
