First forum discussion
centers on ‘watchlady’
By NAN HENDERSON
Of the Emerald
“The watchlady must go,” was
the continued demand of Bean
complex dormitory residents at
the first meeting of the newly
organized ASUO Forum, held
Wednesday in the EMU.
Forum member Tim Travis
moderated the discussion and
offered advice to the 10 women
residents representing a dorm
resident group concerned about
the recently hired night wat
chwomen patrolling the halls of
the women’s dorm units nightly
from midnight to 6 a.m.
Discussion centered around the
recent confrontation with
assistant director of housing,
Dick Romm and plans of actions
that might be effective in ridding
the dorms of the watchwomen.
The residents brought copies of
the 37 petitions that were cir
culated in a one-day drive,
containing 1,000 signatures of
residents, that call for an
alternative to the watchwomen.
Due to a typographical error,
only 100 signatures were reported
in Wednesday’s Emerald.
“We don’t plan on harassing
the women,” stated resident
Kathy Zigrang. “That is childish.
We want to make noise in every
organization we can, though.”
The ladies do plan to present
the issue to the ASUO Senate
tonight, preparing a statement
explaining exactly how they feel
and trying to “get together with
lots of other groups trying to do
the same thing we are.”
The residents also plan an
eventual meeting with University
President Robert Clark and
possibly H. P. Barnhart, director
of housing.
“The girls in my dorm were so
mad after talking to Romm last
night they wanted to sit in right
then,” one resident stated, then
added the girls are willing to try
all other possibilities first. They
did discuss the possibility of an
eventual mass “move-out,”
however, and other mass-student
action. The representatives felt,
“After everything else it may be
necessary.”
Travis raised the question of
how the women were hired. “Do
you have any guarantee that
these ladies are trustworthy?” he
asked.
The girls admitted that they,
nor any of the dormitory
residents, had little knowledge of
exactly how the women were
hired.
According to one of the girls, it
is rumored that “all of the dorm
wash ladies were asked to apply,
and were upset when younger
women were hired.”
“It all comes down to one
thing,” Travis told the girls,
“students are really second-class
citizens. This is all part of a
crack-down. There have been
about seven other things that
have happened since the
beginning of the year, equally
rotten.”
Travis included the tuition
increase, an athletic department
survey of student opinion on
athletics and sociology professor
John Leggett not being approved
by President Clark and United
State International University
recruiting in the list of
grievances.
“The forum was started to
make people aware of these
problems,” Travis stated. This is
what it will be all about—we can
all yell together.”
Poor Council to protest
campus USIU recruiters
The Lane Council of the Poor will sponsor a rally to protest the
appearance of United States International University (USIU)
recruiters at the University Friday.
The rally, set for 10:30 a.m. at the EMU, is co-sponsored by the
Radical Collectives Union, Camp Adair Support Group and the
Revolutionary Union.
USIU has acquired the abandoned Adair Air Force Station near
Corvallis under a federal law which says that private educational
institutions may receive surplus federal land as a “public benefit
allowance.” The school, based in San Diego, has acquired land
through similar means in the past for other campuses.
Recruiters will be at the University looking for persons to attend
the university’s graduate schools in either administration, law or
human behavior.
The Oregon Council of the Poor has been trying to prevent the
transfer of the land to USIU. The Council wants the base to be turned
over to Oregon’s poor people.
Members of the local and statewide Council of the Poor, the Valley
Migrant League and RCU will speak at the Friday rally. A film on
Camp Adair, which was made by Portland State University students,
will be shown.
After the rally, according to a press release, “representatives of
the Council of the Poor will question recruiters about the financial
status of the university, its overseas interests and branches, other
acquisitions of government land and other matters.
One RCU member explained to the Emerald Wednesday the
reasons that students should take part in the Friday rally.
“Our (students and poor people) interests are the same. We’re
going out to support those people because they have a right to the
land ” he said
Fleming leaves Macalester post
From wire service reports
Former University President Arthur Flemming
has announced his resignation from the presidency
of Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., where he
has served for three years.
Flemming, 65, asked the board of trustees of the
small liberal arts college to accept his retirement
no later th'an the end of the current academic year.
Flemming was University President from 1961
68. Macalester College is facing sharp cuts in
funds from its chief benefactor, DeWitt Wallace, the
81-year-old founder of Reader’s Digest. In recent
years, Wallace has been giving money to
Macalester at a rate of $1.2 million per year. This
year he has given only $584,000, for a total of $34.1
million in 40 years.
School officials said however, there was no
connection between Flemming’s retirement and the
loss of funds from Wallace. A spokesman for
Wallace in New York said the publisher had not
discontinued his contribution, but “is rethinking his
major commitments.”
Paul Davis of Los Angeles, a nonvoting member
of the Macalester board who has counseled Wallace
in his donations to the school, said Wednesday,
“Macalester, like many schools, has been trying to
do too much. It needs to sharpen its focus and aim
for excellence in that focus area, not in all areas.
The small college endeavoring to be excellent in a
large number of fields is an extravagent use of
resources.”
Davis denied there was any pressure by him or
Wallace to shake up Macalester’s administration
and remove Flemming.
Flemming was secretary of health, education
and welfare in the Eisenhower administration. He
issued a memorandum announcing his decision to
the college community.
John Dozier, vice president for financial af
fairs, said the school’s budget is running about
$807,000 in the red for the current fiscal year ending
Aug. 30. Its current budget is some $11 million.
Heart attack
causes death
Sheri Lynn May, the University
co-ed who was found dead in a
fraternity house early Sunday
morning, died of a heart attack
according to a deputy Lane
County medical investigator.
The 19-year-old student from
La Crescenta, Calif., died as a
result of a condition known as
cardiac arrythmia or irregular
heart beat, said Dr. Grier Starr
Wednesday. An autopsy showed
that Miss May had a heart
disorder.
She died at 2:50 a.m. Sunday in
a room in the Kappa Sigma
fraternity house.
SAB considers
Eachus’ status
Ron Eachus’ status as ASUO
president will be discussed by the
Student Administrative Board
this afternoon, but according to
SAB Chairman Robert Burke, the
group will probably make no
decision on the matter.
At a faculty meeting earlier in
the month, University President
Robert Clark designated the
responsibility for making the
final decision on the matter to the
SAB.
The meeting will be mainly an
informational meeting for the
benefit of the board members to
make them more familiar with
both sides of the case. The board
will hear no specifics about the
Eachus case but rather deter
mine how to outline the case
according to the powers extended
to them by the ASUO. It will also
decide how open the hearing will
be to the public.
Burke said that the board will
not vote on the issue for ap
proximately another week and a
half.
