Students to meet this morning
Events on dismissal
of Yarowsky unclear
By RICK FITCH
Of the Emerald
^cveiupmexus revaluing me dismissal oi Morris i arowsKy,
assistant visiting professor of art, remain unclear.
Art students calling themselves the Union of Fine Arts
Graduate Students (UFAGS) say they are scheduled to meet
at 9:30 this morning with a committee appointed by Acting
President Johnson to review Yarowsky’s case.
But Marshall Wattles, associate dean of faculties, told the
Emerald Monday that his office—which is normally fully-in
formed in such matters—knows of no review board.
And secretaries in the President’s office say they have in
formation to the effect that while there is a meeting sched
uled from 9 to 10 a.m. today on the subject of Yarowsky's
dismissal, no students are to be admitted.
Meanwhile, Yarowsky, speaking at a UFAGS meeting Mon
day afternoon, said he wall stay at the University only on the
condition that he is granted tenure, a status freeing the
holder from yearly review of his contract.
The Dartmouth graduate has been employed with the De
partment of Fine and Applied Arts since 1965 as a “visiting”
professor, his contract being reviewed—and approved—each
year.
Last year, however, Yarowsky received a terminal contract
covering employment only through this academic year. He
signed it, hopeful that its “terminal” status could be changed
by a review, and, after taking the matter unsuccessfully to
Charles Duncan, dean of faculties, sat back to wait.
Since then, The ASUO Senate and a Student-Faculty Ad
Hoc Committee of the Art Department have gone on record
as supporting the rehiring of Yarowsky.
On May 1, the Senate passed a resolution requesting the
administration to either rehire the 36-year-old artist or pro
vide “at least a good reason for not so doing.”
And during last week’s convocation activities, the ad hoc
student faculty committee passed a resolution asking the ad
ministration to “extend an invitation to Morris Yarowsky as
a regular faculty member with a salary and position com
mensurate to his credentials and experience.”
After receiving the ASUO resolution, Acting University
President Johnson explained, in an ASUO cabinet meeting,
that because of Yarowsky's status as a visiting professor, he
was not expected to remain for more than a year or two.
Former University President Arthur Flemming allowed
Yarowsky to stay longer than that, Johnson said, because
the decision not to rehire him came too late for him to make
other plans.
Dale Fowler, a member of UFAGS, said today’s scheduled
meeting is intended to clear up "ail the confusion.” A delega
tion of UFAGS members met with Johnson last Friday,
1> owler explained, and asked, among other things, for a quick
decision on Yarowsky and permission for a student to ob
serve any review proceedings.
Johnson agreed to allow a small group of students to attend
a meeting in Johnson Hall at 9:30 a.m. today and "personally
interrogate the review congregation,” according to Fowler.
In the UFAGS meeting Monday, Yarowsky said it was
necessary for all those crusading in his behalf to center their
efforts on reform in the art department.
“The important thing is that the art department is uphold
ing the status quo and not keeping up with current trends
in art,” he said, "and that’s got to change. You’ve got to work
for some long-range changes in the art department, aside
from this personal issue.”
ASUO budget...
(Continued, from page 1)
• Speakers and Debates: Was
increased by $1,5440 to $14,140.
• Student Community Proj
ects: Was rebudgeted at $7,900,
showing an increase of $1,500.
The “amendment committee”
met with Acting University
President Johnson this after
noon. Bob Winger, Senate presi
dent, said Johnson realized the
position of the Senate but would
not say how he would act.
The budget, as passed Mon
day night, will go to Johnson
for approval.
Debate over the amendment
was lengthy and at several
times, bitter.
English, spoke in defense of
the changes.
“This budget is designed to
reflect a change in the ASUO.
We can’t fund educational inno
vations, minority students pro
grams, the health service and
the athletic department at the
same time,” he said.
Backers of the amendment
agreed with English, saying they
would like to “help the athletic
department find other areas of
income.”
“We’re not selling the ath
letic department down the
river,” English emphasized.
Sen. Ed Kemp, fiscal commit
tee chairman, disagreed. “The
object of the amendment quite
simply will be the elimination
of the athletic department as
we know it.”
Senator Dave Hytowitz said
the athletic department could
earn money through gate re
ceipts, TV coverage, selling ath
letic cards, and donations.
Several times, senators turned
to the idea of making the ath
letic department self-supporting,
thereby releasing funds that
would “further benefiit Univer
sity students.”
The issue of students purch
asing athletic cards was debated
at great length, but no plan was
accepted. English guessed cards
could cost approximately $10 a
person.
“There are a number of mis
conceptions about the budget.
The budget represents an at
tempt to list priorities. In no
way does it constitute an attack
on the athletic department,”
Sen. Russel Husted stated.
Husted said the athletic de
partment has said it will drop
football if the budget is cut. He
called the statement a “favorite
play,” by threatening to “cut
what everybody loves most.”
Music spokesmen have also
said a budget cut will eliminate
the marching band. It was sug
gested high school bands could
supply the music next year.
Kemp called the proposal “ab
solutely ludicrous.”
“The simple fact of the mat
ter is we have to face realities.
We have a certain obligation to
give some consideration, slight
as it may be, to other students,”
Kemp said.
“I think it will be termed un
realistic,” Senator Phil Barn
hart said.
City Council recommends
beer license for Taylor s
ny aiAi^ nuniun
Of the Emerald
Taylor’s Coffee Shop is now
one step closer toward serving
beer on the premises.
The Eugene City Council rec
ommended Monday night to the
Oregon Liquor Commission that
Taylor’s and the College Side
Inn (yet to be built) be granted
class A liquor licenses.
The class A permits would
allow consumption of alcoholic
beverages not above the four
percent limit on and off the
premises.
There was little discussion of
the motion, which was brought
up by Mrs. Nancy Hayward as
part of the scheduled council
business. Councilman Charles
Teague mentioned that the lo
cations serving beer would be
very close to campus. “One of
the things the University has
trouble with is drinking,” he
added.
Teague cast the only nega
tive vote in the 6-1 decision.
According to Bill Baker, pres
ent owner of El Sombrero Res
taurant, which is schedule to
become the College Side Inn,
the Council was just following
a precedent by voting to rec
ommend the licenses.
Earlier this year the OLCC
granted a license to Miller’s
Grocery, 1065 E. 20th Ave. This
was the first license to be issued
in the University dry zone since
the zone was established in the
early 1950’s.
This special area was created
as the result of a pact between
the University, the Eugene City
Council and the OLCC.
Until the decision on Miller’s
Grocery no beer or other al
coholic beverages could be sold
in an area which extended from
the Willamette River to 23rd
Ave. and from Patterson St. to
Villard St.
