State Board tables dorm live-in policy By ADRIENNE JAMES Of the Emerald PORTLAND (Special) — A policy statement on residence hall living at the University was tabled at a joint meeting Tues day of the three standing sub committees of the State Board of Higher Education at Port land State University. After an hour’s discussion, the members concurred with Chancellor Roy Lieuallen’s sug gestion that the recommenda tion be tabled due to present proposals before the legislature concerning increases in tuition and dorm fees, which may next year affect the occupancy in dorms. Current regulations prohibit freshmen under 21 years of age from living off campus except with parents or relatives. The University had objected to this rule, and was asking the State Board to overturn it. Votes favor end In a recent primary election referendum the students had voted 1,476 to 318 in favor of ending the present freshman live-in policy. Acting President Charles Johnson, former ASUO President Dick Jones, the Stu dent Conduct Committee and the ASUO Senate had all sought a change in the present policy. Lieuallen said, “rather then devoting significant time to the discussion on the topic today, the board should reaffirm the present arrangement by taking no action and adding only gen eral advice to the institution when considering living-in poli cies. The institution should be sensitive to the wishes of par African changes seminar theme “Problems of Change in Af rica” will be the theme of a summer workshop at the Uni versity for which 16 fellowships are available. The seminar, sponsored by the University’s Committee on African Studies, will deal with the economic, social and politi cal questions which beset all of Africa, but especially the new nations, according to Fred Mc Evoy, instructor in anthropol ogy who is directing the work shop-seminar. A number of specialists on Af rican affairs, both from the Uni versity and outside, will lecture during the June 23 to July 18 seminar. The fellowships are $125 each. Application forms may be ob tained from the Institute of In ternational Studies, the anthrop ology department, the Office of the Foreign Student Advisor and the International Education Center in the EMU. Completed applications are due at the institute by May 29. Preference for the scholarships will be given advanced under graduates and graduate stu * dents in social science fields. Previous course work dealing with sub-Saharan Africa is de sirable but not required. Workshop fees will amount to $93. The workshop will offer six credit hours with optional grad ing. ents and particularly to cases of exception.” The Board’s proposal em bodies no major changes in the present policies. The decision as to where freshmen students are to live will still be made by the University with added involvement by parents, who must request that a student be permitted to live off campus if an exception is to be made. Joint decision Concern was expressed that dropping the University’s live in policy, making dormitory liv ing a decision to be reached jointly by the student and par ent, may adversely affect the dormitory living regulations and levels of occupancy of other state institutions. Russell Sadler, chairman of the Inter-Institutional Commit tee on Higher Education (ISCOHE), stated before the meeting, “The way the recom mendation is stated, it works inversely from the way it is intended. The same object is accomplished, but the decision should be a parent/student de cision made at home, not a university/parent decision. Since the new president has to live with the reaction of the proposal, it should be up to him to present you with the terms and such terms as he pre fers at a later time.” Man killed at Berkeley Campus disturbances resume By ART BUSHNELL Of the Emerald Disturbances resumed Tuesday on the Uni versity of California at Berkeley campus, after a man shot during last Thursday’s disorders be came the first fatality in campus unrest this year. A “march of mourning” led by faculty mem bers, was held at noon Tuesday for James Rector, a 25-year-old non-student from San Jose, who died Monday night. Students claim the shot that wounded Rector was fired by police. According to Associated A rally in support of the protesting stu dents at the University of California in Ber keley is scheduled for today. The rally, planned by the Peace and Freedom Party, will begin at 12:30 p.m. at the Free Speech Platform, according to Blaine Ackley. Press reports, police were claiming that only birdshot-loaded shotguns were fired. The march, which included over 1,000 students, according to a staffer of the Daily Californian, the Berkeley student paper, was blocked by Na tional Guardsmen with fixed bayonets. The marchers turned up the street where they were again blocked, said the Daily. They then proceeded to the chancellor’s house, where they chanted “murderer.” The crowd split over the campus, where the Daily said the students were sprayed by gas from one of three helicopters circling over the cam pus. While talking to the Emerald on the telephone, the staffer described an incident which he was witnessing from his office window. He described the Alameda County Police moving in and set ting up grenade launchers and then firing gas into dormitory quads to keep the people inside. The incident was described as involving “not many people, but a helluva lot of gas.” The People’s Park, over which the series of disrupions began, is now occupied by the Na tional Guard and the students can’t get near it, according to the Daily. Elsewhere, gunfire erupted Monday at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Mo., as three cam pus buildings, including a new student lounge, were damaged by fire. Damage to the three year-old lounge was estimated at over $600,000. Johnson to discuss budqet The ASUO Fiscal Committee has arranged a meeting with President Johnson Monday aft ernoon to discuss the reasons behind the recommendations given him for the budget. Included in the discussion will be the initial committee recommendation which in cluded over $200,000 for the athletic department. The ma jority report, the final recom mendation of the committee, which gave no money to the athletic department, will also be under discussion. The meeting will also cover the Senate’s recommendation which advised a $100,000 re serve. After one of these summer sessions, you . may bring back something new. Like an ancient philosophy.
