Radical staff, faculty plan organization
By DON MACK
Of the Emerald
University graduate students,
faculty and staff who consider
themselves ideologically and
socially radical will have their
chance to organize at the first
meeting the the New University
Conference at 8 p.m. Wednesday
in the EMU.
Literature distributed on
campus last week described NUC
as “a national organization of
radicals committed to the growth
of a revolutionary socialist
movement in the U S.” which
sees educational institutions as
“strategic targets in the struggle
to destroy the values and
structures of capitalism.”
One of the local organizers, Sue
Jacobs, told the Emerald the
primary thrust of NUC will be the
University community. “NUC
feels very strongly that the
educational institution is very
important,” she said. “We’re not
just doing politics at the campus
because we happen to be there,
but because it’s a strategically
important place.”
Another local organizer said
the national organization of
graduate students, faculty and
staff is working toward “fun
damental change” which will
result in a “truly egalitarian,
libertarian democracy.”
Action programs at the
University will depend on who is
interested and what the local
situation is, Miss Jacobs said.
“There is a possibility of ex
panding the Day Care Center into
the community—which happens
to be a national program of NUC
this year.”
An NUC pamphlet outlines four
national objectives:
Open Up the Schools—“NUC
seeks to transform the
educational system into a
resource that the mass of people
can use to free themselves from
capitalist domination. We
demand universal access to free
higher education, an end to all
educational and occupational
tracking along race, class and
sex lines, an end to tracking
mechanisms such as grading,
Punk-out policies, course-load
requirements, multiple levels of
courses and curricula, and
financing of all higher education
from taxes on corporat profits
instead of on the salaries of
working people.”
Child Care—NUC demands
“free, client-controlled child care
for all employees and students,
male and female, in the colleges.
The kind of child care we demand
thus includes programs through
which children and parents of
both sexes can learn to transcend
the values of capitalism.”
Anti-war Struggle—“We
recognize that at the present time
effective actions against the war
will necessarily go beyond
(though in particular cir
cumstances may include)
elections and the traditional
forms of mass demonstrations.
We expect to initiate and support
militant actions which will raise
the cost of pursuing the im
perialist war in Indochina.”
Teacher Organizing
Project—“Radical elementary
and high school teachers and
staff, like those at colleges, need
to develop, strengthen and
coordinate programs. NUC plans
to assist this process by working
to encourage self-organization of
high school and elementary
teachers and education students,
by developing a communications
center for radical teacher groups
around the country, and by
preparing a pamphlet series and
other resource materials for
teachers.”
“Struggle within the colleges
and universities is our primary
task at the present time,” the
pamphlet reads, “a task in
separably linked to our active
support for the liberation
struggles of all oppressed
peoples, at home and abroad.”
There are presently three West
Coast chapters of NUC—Portland
Degree applications due Nov. 13
A list of degree candidates for the Dec. 11 Graduation Convocation
is now being compiled by the Office of the Registrar. The last day to
file degree applications is Nov. 13. The date will be enforced according
to the Registrar's Office.
A student must have completed all necessary work and
procedures by the end of the term to apply for a degree. All transcripts
from other colleges and universities must be filed and all University of
Oregon work must be completed by Dec. 28.
Successful degree candidates will be mailed their diplomas about
8 weeks after the end of the term. Students who wish confirmation of
their degree before receipt of their diploma may contact the
Registrar's Office.
Students who have previously applied for a degree but did not
receive one must reapply. Students who do not meet these deadlines
must reapply at a future date.
State University, University of
California at Santa Barbara and
University of California at Ir
vine—but many individual
members are “scattered all over
California,” Miss Jacobs said.
Since it was founded in 1968
largely by the old leadership of
Students for Democratic Society
in Detroit and Chicago, NUC’s 50
chapters are still predominantly
in the midwest and East, she
said. She estimated the national
membership at between 1,000 and
2,000.
Lucy Moore, NUC regional
organizer for northern Califor
nia, Washington and Oregon, will
speak at the Wednesday meeting
