Dellenback discusses Congress’ gains By BARB COLEMAN Of the Emerald Fourth District Congressman John Dellenback believes that despite all the criticism leveled at the 91st Congress, it has done some good. “It would be easy to indulge in recrimination about what wasn’t done in the 91st Congress,” he said at the CSPA Washington Colloquium series Friday, “however, I would prefer to discuss the accomplishments that were made.” Among the accomplishments Dellenback listed the tax reform act, the postal reorganization act, court reorganization for D.C., the drug abuse and prevention bill, an expanded food stamp plan, airport support bill, and the Merchant Marine bill. Following his discussion of these acts of the 91st Congress, Dellenback spoke briefly about his strong support for the 18-year old vote. “With all the pro’s and con’s weighed,” he said, “the pro’s far outweigh the con’s.” Oregon, he said has a “strange, Marching band, OSPIRG discussed by alumni board Complaints poured into the University during the football season about the lack of a marching band during halftime at Oregon games. Ray Hawk, dean of ad ministration, revealed this to the University Alumni Association board of directors Saturday. He noted other disappointed spec tators have expressed disap proval of the rock band which was substituting as halftime entertainment. Hawk said that the athletic department’s responsibility to provide a show at halftime has never been defined, and the expenses of providing a band or dance team have not been allocated. Student incidental fees are a possible source of funds, but the students have been reluctant to approve the use of their fees for these purposes. A marching band and a pep band for basketball games cost an estimated $15,000, which at present seems only available from an outside funding source. President Clark has said that the Athletic Department must have some “base-line” financial support it can count on, Hawk said, and added that students must have a part in providing that support. Another proposal discussed by the alumni board was sponsored by Oregon Student Public In terest Research Group (OSPIRG), and was concerned with student help for OSPIRG furds. The idea was to assess students at the University and at other state institutions one dollar each term at registration. Students who did not wish to support the group could have their dollar refunded. The board expressed disap proval of the OSPIRG proposal, but took no official action. Alumni Association President James Larpenteur, Jr., said, "Generally, we are opposed to any official position by the university in support of any political action or group because it violates and transcends the purpose of higher education.

Hawk cited classroom disrup tions last spring and recent violations of visiting hours in dormitories as instances where weak trespass laws have slowed down prosecution. Hawk said there is also a need for legislation which would control possession of guns on campus, particularly for non students. anomalous situation” which should not continue. Dellenback hopes that the state legislature will grant voting rights to 18 year-olds in state and local elections. Dellenback answered a question concerning the super sonic transport (SST) by stating that he has voted against it on three previous occasions and will continue to vote against it. In reference to the SST, Dellenback said that “The House Rules Committee has far too much power over what the house will or won’t vote on and thenatureof the legislation’s amendments. It is one thing we haven’t dealt with in reform legislation in the 91st Congress.” Dellenback believes in abolishing the seniority system in Congress. He said that he feels that some other basis than how long a congressman has been in office should determine his position on committees. Factors such as ability, fairness, time limitation on length of service, and age limitation should be considered in the situation. Concerning his responsibility to the Republican party and President Nixon, Dellenback said, “I maintain independent judgment on the legislation. I must, if I’m going to be what I’m supposed to be—Fourth District Congressman.” VOLKSWAGEN MERCEDES & PORSCHE FACTORY TRAINED EXPERT8 GUENTER SCHOENER Bus. Ph. 343-2912 2045 FRANKLIN BLVD.
