Fiscal Committee opposes ADC trip to Washington The ASUO Fiscal Committee gave a do-not pass recommendation Wednesday to a proposal from the Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) organization for sending six ADC members to Washington, D.C. to fight passage of Nixon’s Welfare Reform Bill. Yet the Committee unanimously agreed to send their disapproval of House Bill No. 1 to Oregon senators Mark Hatfield and Bob Pack wood. Committee members futher agreed to fund duplicating and mailing costs to send ADC’s brief of the bill to all U.S. Senators, if ADC considers this a viable alternative. ASUO President Iain More said, “It is a bad bill, there’s no doubt about that, and the ADC has proven in the past that they are a very good lob bying group.” “1 do think some form of University support is important,” he added. Two ADC representatives emphasized that passage of the Welfare Reform Bill would have an adverse effect on University students as well as all Oregon residents. The Fiscal Committee also gave a do pass to a Migrant Labor Project proposal requesting an adjustment in funds formerly allocated to the Project. Previously the director received $200 per month, but in the future this will be dispersed among the director and six new work study people serving as consultants to the director. A proposal requesting $75 to support a survey on Veterans’ benefits for college was given a no pass by the Committee: This survey, conducted by two University students in a political science class, is devised to determine if the government funds are insufficient to support a college student. The next Fiscal Committee meeting will be Jan. 4. Freshman (didn’t say anything/ note serves on school hoard . «• By ALICE SCHWARTZ Of the Emerald A few weeks ago Don Anderson received a call from a local newspaper in his home town of Puyallup, Wash., informing him that he had been elected to the school board there. “It came as a complete shock,” he said. “When the man found out that I was an 18 year old fresh man from the University of Oregon he just about went through the ceding.” Anderson decided to run for the position last July, in the hope that an 18 year old running would create some interest in the election. “I thought it was kind of an apathetic situation. People were complaining about the school board but no one was really concerned about the election. “I just didn’t say anything and I came in second out of four in the primaries,” he stated. When he learned that the position would require his traveling to Puyallup, about eight miles east of Tacoma, twice monthly to attend board meetings, he tried to withdraw before the general election. “Then I got a letter from the auditor saying that I couldn’t withdraw, I had to wait and see if I were elected and then I could resign.” The man Anderson defeated was a 35 year old attorney that had been appointed to the position six months ago, and was running to keep it for another four years. Anderson beat him by 100 votes in the general election. There are several reasons why he won, ac cording to Anderson. “People were voting for a common name, people from my high school were voting for me, mid some people were just voting against the school board the way it is now,” he said. “The reaction on the part of the public has been very decent, people have been calling me and telling me not to resign, but I don’t want to anyhow.” Anderson feels that the problem with the school board at present is the management of their funds. “The attitude of the district has been that we need so much education and we don’t have enough money, so we need more money. I think we should manage the money better, not raise the taxes.” Anderson, who worked for the school district for one summer as a grounds keeper, said he could “see the waste from there.” He added, “I worked under the coaches and the janitors and I know that the maintenance department does nothing at all. They know that I know it and so they are rather upset that I got elected.” He feds that the district can be better managed if it is looked at foom a different approach. He has already attended one board meeting and will go to his second Monday night. “I have to be back in time for a 2:45 final on Tuesday,” he said. AAUP decides to fund group Discussion of what to do to ensure the passage of the cigarette tax bill occupied the majority of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) executive meeting Tuesday. The group, after much discussion, agreed to pledge $200 for mailing expenses to the steering committee working on passage of the measure. John Shepherd, director of the Division of Broadcast Services, said that although the AAUP didn’t want to be identified with fund raising because it would be “politically unwise,” it was necessary to alert every faculty member to the consequences if the tax did not pass. Those possible consequences, ,• said were no additions to culty, no salary increases, < ere program cuts and salary ns. The goal is to get this campus it 100 per cent and vote," pherd said. He suggested a '. ing squad” of people to speak all facutly committees before i- measure comes to a vote Jan. Town Meeting cancelled Tuesday night’s ASUO Town Meeting was cancelled because of “poor timing’’ according to ASUO President Iain More, and will be rescheduled for sometime in January.
