Dellenback
‘optimistic’
of VISTA
“The Nixon Administration’s
attempt to sabotage VISTA,”
concerned Fourth District
Congressman John Dellenback
and 17 Volunteers In Service To
America Tuesday night.
Dellenback, who was in
strumental last year in winning
an appropriations battle for the
Office of Economic Opportunity
(OEO) and VISTA, visited the
Regional Training Center to
explain 1970 Congressional ac
tion.
“Like all other government
funded programs,” Dellenback
commented, “The whole OEO
budget is looked at sporadically
rather hard in the Congress.”
OEO funding last year, however,
was looked at “within more
critical eyes than it deserves,” he
remarked.
With regard to appropriations,
Dellenback stated “So far I think
we’ve been successful and will
continue to be successful.”
He characterized VISTA as “a
program which I think is an
exceptionally good one,” and
added that there is a strong
feeling of support within the
Congress for this program, but
that this feeling did not extend to
the present administration.
Dellenback said he was op
timistic that Congress would
continue to be more receptive to
VISTA where funding is con
cerned. He expressed doubt that
VISTA would be defunded in 1972,
as rumored.
The congressman added
however, that the reason for
many Congressional funding
setbacks resulted from “utilizing
government funds for partisan
political purposes,” which he
remarked had occurred within
the Community Action Agency
and similar agencies.

Bail benefit slated
A bail fund benefit dance will be held in the EMU Ballroom Friday
night.
The dance, which will feature Foreplay, will cost a $1 contribution
for admission. But, according to Joe Schoenfeld, one of the bail fund
sponsors “poverty people will be respected.”
The bail fund began last year after 63 persons were arrested in
connection with a sit-in at Johnson Hall. The dance is “to raise money
for the sit-in busts of last year” as well as for other persons who might
be arrested in the future said Schoenfeld.
Planning committee meets
A meeting of the Campus Planning Committee will be held at 1:30
p.m. today in the EMU.
Included on the agenda are: approval of the minutes, report from
Parking Subcommittee, report from Landscape Subcommittee, report
on Long Range Planning Study and a discussion on the Eugene
Springfield Transportation Study and the 1990 General Plan.
Commedian spells Supremes
Comedian Stu Gilliam, will be the support act for The Supremes
when they appear in concert at the University Sunday, Jan. 24.
