NSFexchange program

A National Science Foundation
exchange program with Wroclaw
Politechnical University in
Poland highlighted a discussion
Wednesday between University
chemistry department chairman
Virgil Boekelheide and Waclaw
Kasprzak.
Kasprzak is a professor of solid
mechanics and is Vice President
in charge of research at
Wroclaw. He visited the
University Wednesday.
“This would be a completely
new program, authorized by
Congress,” Boekelheide ex
plained. “The idea behind it is
called utilization of counterpart
funds. Under provisions of the
US. government Poland has
received agricultural aid, but the
U.S. cannot be paid back in
dollars,” he said. “So all of this
money for some sort of
repayment has been building up
and could be utilized in the ex
change program.”
Under the proposed exchange,
two post-doctoral graduates of
the University would visit the
Wroclaw University for two year
terms to teach and do research.
They would probably be in the
field of physical organic
chemistry because, according to
Boekelheide, “this is the area
that the Poland university is
weaker in.”
“The only problem we’ve
encountered so far in planning
the exchange is the fact we have
Polish money, and not American
dollars to work with,”
Boekelheide said. “This means
we still have to find a way of
financing Polish professors
coming to the University.”
If funded the program could
start for next fall.
The University of Oregon was
selected for the program because
of long-range background con
tacts. Science professor M.
Wiecarek from Wroclaw
Politechnical University visited
the University and worked with
Boekelheide in 1966.
When he returned to Poland, he
expressed a desire to develop an
exchange program and his
eventual advancement in his
university to Vice President
helped facilitate plans for the
exchange.
Antiwar group plans
ROTC, I.D. activities
“This campus has got to snap
out of it,” said Joe Enzensperger
after a meeting Wednesday of
approximately 30 members of the
Students’ Union Against the War.
The group met to discuss their
organizational structure for next
fall and to plan activities dealing
with ROTC and the photo ID
packets.

Although the group was unable
to formulate a formal statement
of purpose, they decided a
campaign would be initiated to
inform people in the Eugene area
of their organization.
“Our biggest job is just
education, waking the people
up,” said Enzensperger, in
regard to the social problems of
today.
It was decided that extensive
publicity (in the form of balloons)
will be undertaken to urge the
student body to attend the faculty
meeting Wednesday. During that
meeting the faculty will vote on
two measures dealing with a
phase-out of ROTC on campus.
Extensive discussion revolved
around the ID card issue and
several opinions were expressed
as to what issue was really at
stake.
