Ways to correct problems in
education at the University will
be a topic of discussions be
tween members of the American
Association of University Profes
sors (AAUP) and legislators this
year.
The discussion, according to
Glen Love, AAUP chapter presi
dent, will focus on the “specific
and general criticisms that came
out of last year’s task force re
port on higher education.
The report, conducted by a
House task force headed by Rep.
Robert Davis, leveled criticisms at
higher education for neglecting
undergraduate education and an
over-reliance on teaching assis
tants as full-time teachers.
The report, Love said, pointed
out that some problems which
need to be remedied, but some
of the points it made were either
inaccurate or incomplete.
“We want to work with the
legislature to correct many
areas, but we also feel some
need to offer balancing com -
ments in some areas.”
In addition, the AAUP Re -
search Council, which annually
studies some area of concern in
the University, will work this
year on the decision-making pro
cess at the University.
The study, Love said, is an out
growth of a study last year of
faculty governance and of stud
ies from other Universities on
“the right and wrong ways to
make decisions on campus.”
One study from Tulane Uni
versity, he said, recommends that
any faculty larger than 100 be
governed by some kind of fac
ulty senate rather than by a
large general faculty meeting.
“Our faculty is over 900,” Love
said, “and we still use the gen
eral faculty meeting.”
The AAUP has expanded in
to these and other areas of faculty
concern since its founding in
1915. Originally, Love said, it pro
tected academic freedom and
Spring term uncertain
for students on welfare
Ten University students who
are striving for an eventual self
support, face an uncertain future.
The students are part of 180
welfare recipients attending col
lege in Eugene with the help of
a group of mothers and the Aid
to Dependent Children (ADC)
program.
Four years ago, the ADC moth
ers of Eugene lobbied a bill
through the Oregon legislature
enabling them to receive fed
eral funds three times the
amount they could raise on their
own to send individuals on wel
fare to college. The money comes
from the Social Security pro -
gram.
“We had so many applicants
that we decided to send them all,
even though we still haven’t
raised enough money to get them
all through spring term,” Loret
ta Daniels, leader of the cam
paign, said.
Mrs. Daniels said the students
receive $133 per term which pays
for medical exams, books and
tuition. She explained they took
everyone who applied if they
would take courses aimed at
eventual self-support.
According to Mrs. Daniels, the
program was initiated last year
with 18 students attending Lane
Community College. This year,
the ADC Mothers sent 170 stu
dents to LCC in addition to the
10 at the University. Each recipi
ent receives $100 yearly from the
ADC and $300 from the govern
ment.
Mrs. Daniels said this is the
first such program in the United
States. About 40 people attend
the meetings of the ADC mothers
representing approximately 1,000
families in Lane County on Wel
fare. They are still working hard,
Mrs. Daniels said, to raise enough
money to keep their students in
school through spring term.
The organization seeks funds
from community service organi
zations and from private donors,
Mrs. Daniels said.
Black athletes quit
Wyoming football
Fourteen Black athletes have
quit the football team at the Uni
versity of Wyoming because of
alleged racial discrimination by
the Mormon religion. The ath
letes were scheduled to play
Brigham Young University (a
private Mormon school) Satur
day in Laramie.
The athletes Friday took their
complaints of racial discrimina
tion in the Mormon doctrine to
football coach Lloyd Eaton. They
stated they were going to wear
black armbands as a sign of pro
test against BYU.
Eaton refused to listen to the
football players’ demands, saying
the policy of athletic teams was
not to protest. As a result the
Blacks quit the team.
Despite the loss of 14 team
members, the Wyoming Cowboys
beat BYU 40-7.
Student sentiment at the 8,000
student university has been run
ning pro-Eaton, according to the
editor of the campus newspaper,
the Branding Iron.
Eaton described as the “12th
winningest coach in the nation,”
has refused to re-instate the ath
letes and has been unavailable
for comment.
According to the Branding Iron
there is a small minority of stu
dents who plan meetings to de
bate the controversy and take
action. An all-campus forum is
panned and graduate students
't..n to decide their position on
the issue soon. Also, a few fac
ulty members say they will sub
mit resignations if the Black
athletes are not reinstated
Saturday’s game wa' v mt
major incident, although a few
Black students protested outside
the stadium gates before the
game. There were also reports of
one student flying a confederate
flag during the game and others
raising their fists in the White
power salute.
Clark gets budget
for ASUO funds
An itemized budget, outlining
ASUO plans for monies recently
released by the administration,
was received by University Pres
ident Robert Clark Monday.
According to ASUO officials,
the administration had requested
specific proposals for the use of
$67,000 recently released to the
ASUO by Clark.
The funds were released as
compensation for the administra
tion’s earlier refusal to accept the
ASUO Senate-approved inciden
tal fee budget.
According to the ASUO, the
newly acquired funds will be
used to establish an ethnic stud
ies center, a housing problems
center and to provide for ASUO
research projects.
The ASUO has previously an
nounced plans to continue a legal
battle for complete control of in
cidental fee allocations.
Clark and ASUO President Kip
Morgan met Monday afternoon to
discuss allocation of the releas
ed monies. Clark must approve
the recommendations before
funds can actually be allocated.
right to tenure for faculty mem
bers.
“Most people think of the
AAUP as the group which rushes
in to defend the beleaguered fac
ulty member who is under attack
from the local John Birch Soci
ety.”
At the University approximate
ly 400 faculty members belong
to AAUP, he said, but the or
ganization will aid any faculty
member who is threatened with
loss of academic freedom, whe
ther he is a member or not.
“The AAUP has traditionally
felt the University can maintain
its academic freedom only by
staying out of political questions,”
Love added.
The organization therefore tries
to protect the professor from po
litical pressure from the right or
the left, he said.
“Any time the University is
involved in political questions, it
is a non-University, whether it is
in the Vietnam Moratorium or in
tensely political research for the
defense department.”
Liaison Bureau in ombudsman role
Citing of a lack of communi
cation between faculty, adminis
tration and students, the Student
Liaison Bureau has emerged
from two years of inactivity in
to the role of an ombudsman.
At its first meeting, the ASUO
bureau discussed the Office of
Student Services with Shirley
Wilson, dean of women. For its
first project, the group will pub
lish a handbook listing the many
functions of the office.
Chairman Don Chalmers ex -
plained many students are una
ware of the services offered by
the Office of Student Services and
he hopes to aid students with the
handbook.
Chalmers indicated the pur
pose of the Bureau is to develop
programs involving students, fac
ulty and administration. He said
the bureau provides an “excel
lent opportunity” for dialogue be
tween the three. In this coordina
tion, Chalmers said, the bureau
is trying to help the University
community as a whole.
The bureau is also considering
weekly meetings with several ad
ministrators to give students the
opportunity to meet with them.

This is not just a young man’s fancy
Anything but.
A young man can climb into this incred
ible piece of hardware and break the
sound barrier.
And the awe-inspiring probes into space
arenotfigmentsofhiswild imagination.
He read the fantasy of B uck Rogers as a boy.
Now in a Buck Rogers space suit he ex
plores the outer reaches of the beyond.
It all started with imagination and dreams.
If anything, a young man’s fancy is exactly
what we need.
Without it we’d all still be on the ground.
