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 also told the board there
is a need to strengthen and
overhaul Oregon’s trespass laws
concerning public buildings. “We
don’t have the tools to handle the
non-student who is not con
forming to our rules,” he said.
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.”
