Four-day survival teach-in begins tonight A four-day University environ mental teach-in gets under way tonight in McArthur Court with three presentations introducing the teach-in’s theme of “Life Styles For Survival.” Tonight’s kickoff activities be gin at 7 p.m. with a multi-media presentation, “Where Are You At?” by University Sociology Prof. John MacGregor. An 8 p.m. talk on “A Case Against Affluence” by Willy Un soeld, national executive vice president of Outward Bound, fol lows MacGregor's show. The evening’s final event is a 9 p.m. presentation by Cheyenne - Crow Indian Chuck Storm who will show rituals in harmony with nature. Some 17 additional activities will be staged in the Time Out For Survival (teach-in) program on campus Wednesday through Friday, including talks, panels, workshops and films related to as pects of environmental aware ness. A Survival Faire will be held on campus Wednesday through Friday in addition to the Time Out For Survival activities. It will include booths, arts, crafts, displays, music, dramatic skits and bike and bus tours. Thirteenth Avenue will be closed between Kincaid and Onyx streets during the Survival Faire. According to University teach in coordinator Bob Greene, to night's McArthur Court events are designed “to project an over flow of what the ecology issue is all about.” MacGregor’s presentation fea tures as many as five slides sim ultaneously projected on a 40-by 60-foot screen by local media de signer Bruce Bittle, along with oral commentary and tapes. It links today’s environmental cri sis to basic social values which have fostered despoliation of the environment. “Where Are You At?” was pre sented on campus twice in Feb ruary, and has since been shown six times to high schools through out the state. Widespread favor able reaction to the show has prompted many more requests for its use. MacGregor and Bit tie will be making the presenta tion another half dozen times this week around the state. “This presentation should serve as a good introduction to what the whole teach-in is trying to do,” says MacGregor. “It views the environmental crisis as some thing which can’t be solved by just passing a few laws and spend ing more money here and there, but as something which will re quire major changes in our at titudes and life-styles in order to be effectively dealt with,” he added. Unsoeld is flying from h i s home in Andover, Mass., to take part in teach-in activities at the University and Oregon State and Portland State Universities. In 1963 Unsoeld became the first man to scale the western Rally, benefit scheduled Group seeks bail for protesters A 12:30 p.m. rally on the EMU Terrace and a march to the ROTC drilling grounds are scheduled for today by the “April 15 move - ment,” a group formed by partici pants in last week’s anti-ROTC ac tivities. According to the group, the rally will center upon efforts to raise bail money for four Univer sity students arrested last week in the aftermath of Wednesday’s demonstration and rock-throwing incidents. The four were released from City-County Jail late Monday aft ernoon after posting $300 bail each. The march, scheduled to follow the rally early in the afternoon, will culminate in a “christening ceremony” in which, the group indicated, the property used by the ROTC for drilling purposes will be renamed “Ho Chi Minh Field.” A benefit will be held today and Thursday in an effort to raise bail money. At 7:30 p.m. to night a band will perform on the EMU Terrace. From there partici pants will go to 123 Science for three films scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. The “April 15 movement” an Reseacher plans to attend hearing A faculty conduct hearing will resume at 9 a.m. today in t h e Johnson Hall conference room for a University research associ ate charged by the administra tion with “conduct flagrantly un becoming a faculty member.” The session’s primary partici pant, defendant Irving Wainer, told the Emerald Monday that he does plan to be present at the pro ceedings along with his counsel. Wainer and his student de fender Jeffrey Freed walked out of the committee’s first meeting last Monday in a protest against what they called unfair adminis tration of justice. Contacted Monday, however, Wainer told the Emerald that he would be present at today’s ses sion primarily because University President Robert Clark had indi cated to students last week that he would have charges against ROTC instructors who didn’t al low students to audit military science courses, investigated if they were submitted to him in written form.

Paul Brainerd Editor Robb Miller Business manager nounced its plans at a noon rally Monday on the EMU Terrace which included a series of speak ers and appeals for contributions to the bail fund. The nearly 100 individuals in attendance first heard sophomore Howard Kimeldorf, arrested last week in front of the ROTC build ing for assault and battery, inter terring with a police officer, and isorderly conduct, describe the conditions he saw in the down town jail. Kimeldorf said that Ralph Nussbaum, a University senior charged with the felony offense of “inciting a riot” and still in custody, was placed in isolation in “the most barbaric cell I’ve ever seen.” He said that over-all “the sani tation conditions are like from the 19th century,” that the food and treatment of prisoners was very bad, and that they were al lowed little information about what was occurring in the out side world. Kimeldorf described the atmos phere in the jail as one of “con stant psychological pressures,” which he said were part of the “process of dehumanizing the in dividual and making him more like an animal.” face of Mt.

On that expedition a fel low OSU graduate, Jake Breiten bach was killed and Unsoeld will be dedicating a memorial to his former comrade in Corvallis Wednesday. He was also director of the Peace Corps program in Nepal in 1964 and ’65. Unsoeld’s talk tonight will sug gest that our society’s level of affluence is not improving the quality of life throughout the world, but rather is detracting from this quality by triggering widespread environmental de generation. “Indian Medicine Wheel Sym bolism’’ is the topic of Storm’s I.-- ~ ™ - 9 p.m. address. He will show slides and explain the spiritual integration of American Indians with nature through such things as the Cheyenne sundial dance and the Medicine Wheel. Storm, whose Indian name is Hyemeyhosts, has recently been touring the West to speak with groups on concept of nature-relat ed styles which is much differ ent from the one held by the dominant American culture.
