Committee discusses watch ladies The night watchlady and dormitory security in genera] concerned students and members of the University Housing Policy Committee Friday. Although official business could not be con ducted for lack of a quorum, students and com mittee members, including Housing Director H. P. Barnhart, discussed many of the same issues brought out in an earlier encounter with Assistant Director Dick Romm. When several students suggested changing the student code to allow 24-hour visiting hours in the dormitories, Barnhart stated, “The fact is now that they do not have 24-hour visiting hours. Some people have been acting as if they did.” Citing several clauses from the dormitory contract, Bean Hall resident Cathy Zigrang suggested that hiring the night watchlady might be a violation of the contract. “Most people do expect us to exercise care,” asserted Barnhart, and Romm added, “We didn’t feel this was a new policy.” Committee member Jim Teasdale proposed a motion which would temporarily suspend duties of the night watchlady pending a full review by the housing department. Because the committee could not vote on the proposal, Teasdale then suggested that Barnhart and the housing department take it upon themselves to suspend the watchlady’s duties, “to cool tem pers.” “You’re going to leave yourselves open to a lot of guerilla activities,” he added when Barnhart refused the suspension. Other Bean Hall residents, including Carol Kagy, met with University President Robert Clark at the same time Friday. The group decided to meet again in the future when Dean of Administration Ray Hawk would be available. Board to decide on tuition Tuition and fee policies for 1971-72 will be finalized by the State Board of Higher Education at a one-day meeting in Portland today. The decision will include final action on proposed raises in both tuition and board and room charges for next year. The Board is also expected to decide whether or not to join in an agreement with the City of Eugene setting a timetable for closing most city streets within the campus. The proposed agreement, recommended earlier this month by the board’s building committee, would permanently close 13th Ave. between Kincaid and University Streets, that portion of the street which is currently temporarily closed. The increase in tuition to be discussed by the Board does not set a specific dollar figure for next year’s tuition. However, it is expected to boost tuition for in-state undergraduate students from $408 annually by about $60 to $70. graduate students’ tuition from $486 by about $140 and out of state un dergraduates from $1407 by about $150. The tuition increase was recommended by the board's finance committee earlier this month. The finance committee also recommended the board reduce its income-earning goal for state owned dormitories for one year because of an anticipated tem porary drop-off in income. The committee reported that even with the goal increase, room charges will still have to be raised next year. It recom mended board approval of a schedule of charges that would raise dormitory rates for three academic terms at the University from $900 to $960 for multi occupancy rooms. Also to be discussed in the category of fees is a proposed amendment in the board’s ad ministrative rules which would turn control of incidental fees over to students. City council to review new trespass ordinance A new city ordinance against trespassing, including such things as sit-ins, will be reviewed by the Eugene City Council tonight. The new ordinance defines three meanings of trespass. It says trespass is (a) to enter or remain on premises not open to the public and the entrant is not licensed or priviledged to do so; or (b) to enter premises open to the public but not with the intent of using the premises for their designated purpose; or (c) failure to leave premises open to the public after being asked to do so by a person in lawful charge when the entrants are engaging in conduct not designated for the premise in question. The ordinance has been reviewed by several outside attorneys. Objections to it were raised by various lawyers reflecting the view of the American Civil Liberties Union, labor unions, and demonstrators. Some fit that the vagueness of the definitions would leave judges wide open to interpretation and ruling. Some expressed concern about unions picketing and who would be designated a lawful person in charge. USIU demonstration misses recruiters By JOHN LANIER Of the Emerald Demonstrators marched against the United States International University (USIU) Friday morning. But the USIU wasn’t there. About 175 students, community residents and members of the Oregon Council of the Poor held a rally at 10:30 on the EMU terrace to protest the turning over of the Adair Air Force Station north of Cor vallis to the San Diego-based USIU. Afterwards they marched to the University Placement Service in Susan Campbell Hall, intending to discuss USIU and its acquisition of Adair with USIU recruiters who had scheduled an appearance on campus. However, by the time the demonstrators arrived, about 11 a.m., the recruiters had already held what interviews they wanted to and had left the University. At the EMU rally, a representative of the Council of the Poor told of the problems faced by poor people in the Eugene area and stated: “If the poor could get Camp Adair it would help people like these. ” A student member of the Revolutionary Union (RU) labeled USIU a peculiar institution,’’ and said that research done by several journalists have led to many questions about the organization’s financial and corporate activities. The USIU, he explained, will not release information on its finances, even to the Methodist Church with which it is affiliated, and recently had its Bank of America credit cut off. A resident of Albany, Ore., pointed out that hundreds of migrant agricultural workers live in sub-human camps just a few miles from Adair, where there are good facilities going to waste. “The con Continued on Page 7 Trying To Economize?
