To focus on domestic problems Fulbright advocates Vietnam withdrawal WASHINGTON (AP)—Sen. J. W. Fulbright said Monday the United States must get out of Vietnam even if it has to settle for less than a standoff and t.urn its attention to domestic prob lems that have divided the people and spawned a student re bellion. The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee called for an overhaul of what he called a foreign policy of “chronic warfare and intervention” in international disputes that he said is leading this country toward an authoritarian government. Fulbright told military leaders in a National War College speech that his criticism was of “militarism” which he said is dominating U.S. foreign policy, not of “the able, energetic men who fill the top ranks of the armed services” even though he said they “have acquired an- influence disproportionate to their numbers on the nation's security policies.” “The courage and endurance of our fighting men command the respect of all Americans,” Fulbright said. “The fault in our war policy lies not with them but with the political decisions which committed them to an impossible task.” The Arkansas Democrat argued that while it would be a new experience for American fighting men to settle for something less than victory and perhaps something less than a standoff, such action will be necessary to get the nation back on the track. “In the last three decades,” he said, “the United States has been heavily preoccupied with its role as the world's greatest power, to the neglect of its societal responsibilities, and at an incalculable cost to our national security. “The political cost is reflected in the steady concentration of power in the hands of the national executive, in a long-term trend toward authoritarian government. The moral cost is reflected in the unhappiness of the American people, most particularly in the angry alienation of our youth . . . “Until the war in Vietnam is ended, there can be no prospect of the nation’s more sober and generous instincts reasserting them selves, no prospect of a renewal of the nation’s strength at its vital domestic source.” Morse eyes congress or governor's seaf Wayne Morse, ex-Oregon sen ator, said he expects to an nounce whether he will run for the Fourth District congres sional position or for gover nor of Oregon within the next 30 days. Foreign students need counselors Over a hundred new foreign students will need University students to counsel them on the “American way of life’’ at the beginning of next fall term. Applications for counseling the foreign students, during the week of September 16, 1969 are now being accepted. Applica tions can be turned in at the International Student Organiza tion, 319 EMU. Counselors will do everything from orienting students to the campus to help ing them find living quarters. During the orientation time, counselors receive free room and board and entertainment expenses. The orientation week is used to introduce the foreign students to University student groups, professors and adminis trators as well as the University facilities. Foreign students will also be introduced to the Foreign Stu dent Organization and the for eign student advisor’s office. Each student also has a “friend ship family” which assists him during his stay. According to Randy Morse, director of the program 120 new foreign students are ex pected next year. Foreign stu dents make up 11 percent of the student population, and rep resent 91 different nations. Morse made his comments in an interview on KVAL-TV Mon day night stating that he is pres ently leaning towards the con gressional seat. The 68-year-old Democrat lost the senatorial election to Robert Packwood last fall after 24 years as Oregon’s senator. At the time Morse said he was not through with politics. Morse plans to consult ad visors before he makes his de cision. He has mentioned both positions as being possibilities. Presently John Dellenback, a Republican from Medford, holds the sought-after congressional seat. If Morse decides to run he will probably face him. State Treasurer Robert Straub has also shown interest in the governor’s position and, if Morse decides to run, will prob ably oppose him in the Demo cratic primary. Republican Gov. Tom McCall has not announced any plans for another term yet.

Legislative committee okays higher education budget After changing the basis for a raise in academic salaries, in creasing tuition and granting a higher percentage raise to teaching assistants, the joint Ways and Means Committee ap proved the state higher educa tion budget Monday. The budget as passed by the committee now goes to the House for approval. Among the major differences between the budget that emerg ed from the committee and that recommended by the gov ernor were changes pertaining to out-of-state students. A recommendation that the percentage of out-of-state en tering freshmen be limited was amended so that at both the University and OSU the num ber of out-of-state entering freshman would be limited to $900 next year and based on a percentage in 1970. According to Shelby Price of the admissions office, if this proposal were adopted, “there would be no problems” with ad missions next year. The committee also recoin - mended that out-of-state stu - Project collects $1,Q00 donations In half a day’s work Project Advantage (PA) collected about $1,000 worth of donations for the Disadvantaged Youth Pro gram, yesterday. PA will continue to accept donations out of student’s fine and breakage fees until next week. PA is collecting money from students and faculty to help subsidize the students on Project 75, HEP, Upward Bound, NDEA and Economic Opportunity Grants, all of which have been cut back by the Federal government. According to Mary Reagan, one of the organizers of PA, the project has hopes of expanding into the community and getting donations from the University. She emphasized, however, that these are only plans and must be approved by the administra tion before the plan can be put into operation. dents pay the full cost of their education instead of the $999 that they now pay. This would mean that costs will go up to $1325 and then $1398 during the next biennium. Along with this plan would be an increase of $30 per year in undergraduate resident tuition. The academic salary changes centers around a plan which would give different raises to professors on either side of a $15,000 cut line. The commit tee moved that teachers be re warded for carrying a large number of in-class hours and that the distribution of salaries be made without any regard to what pay bracket an instructor was in. The proposed teaching assis tant wage increase would be one of 15.5 per cent and 5 per cent for the next two years. This was substantially higher than the 6 and 7 per cent raises recom mended by the governor’s budg et. The proposed enrollment lid applies to the second year of the biennium. The committee provided for an additional 981 students, raising the state lid from the proposed 44,830 to 45.811. In other legislative activity, the 19-year-old voting age bill was defeated Tuesday 16-14 in the Senate. A move will be made today to reconsider. The joint Ways and Means Committee also moved that the Administration building pro posed at the University be con tinued as one of the high priori ties for the next session.
