A ‘closed society’
Dellenback visits Russia
By DEAN WHEELER
Of the Emerald
The feeling of a “closed
society’’ impressed
Congressman John Dellenback
(R-Ore.) the most in his recent
tour of Russia, he said Friday
night at a dinner sponsored by the
Lane County Republican Central
Committee.
Dellenback told the 500 persons
attending that “about half of
Russia is formally open to
visitors, but 60 per cent of that is
not technically open. You have to
ask permission to go there.”
This restriction on travel,
which he said is placed on
Russian citizens as well, con
tributes to the “closed society”
feeling he got while spending 14
days in Russia with six other
members of a Congressional
subcommittee on education.
“Russia is 20 per cent open to
visitors and in those places you
can wander freely and wander
safely. The people, however, are
basically friendly—they are
willing to help an Americanski.”
The legislative subcommittee
met with several government
officials in education, but outside
of that circle, Dellenback said,
“there was a clear feeling of a
closed society.”
The people of Russia are
assigned both housing and jobs,
he said, and therefore, a citizen is
not free to move unless he has a
job and living quarters waiting
for him in the next city. “The only
way people can move is with
official blessing.”
Dellenback reported that the
Russians claim full employment
and housing. Some of the jobs he
cited included guards who limit
the persons who can enter certain
areas, or “old ladies sitting at the
top of staircases in apartments—
a lot of make work exists.”
Housing he said, is still
assigned on a communal basis
families having separate living
quarters but sharing the same
kitchen and bath facilities.
Education of Russian children
can start early, he said, including
Weaver says Demos
to be more liberal
By JAY ENLOE
Of Ihe Emerald
“The Democratic party will be
much more liberal in 1972 than it
was in 1968,” predicted
Congressional candidate James
Weaver as he spoke Thursday
evening before a group of
organizers of the May mock
Democratic Convention.
The platform will be more
liberal than 1968’s, he contended,
because of the reforms instituted
since that time and because such
programs as hospitalization were
not even covered four years ago.
Weaver was first a delegate to
the national convention in 1960
and says he has personally ex
perienced the individual ob
scurity that can be felt among a
convention of over 3,000
delegates.
He said one of the prime goals
of the new reforms instituted by
the Democratic party was to
make the voice of the individual
delegate heard, and to take the
selection of the party’s
presidential candidate out of the
smoke-filled rooms.
Weaver said he expects to see
an increase in the number of
challenges to the regular state
delegations this year. (All it
takes to challenge a delegation is
for one registered Democrat to
protest, seven days after the
primary election, if he feels there
has been an injustice.) The
reforms include provisions for
representation of minorities, he
said.
The important platform
committee. Weaver said, is
bound to be more liberal because
of a change in the allocation of
seats on that committee.
Previously the committee was
made up of two delegates from
each state. Now there will be a
total of ISO delegates, each state
with one representative and the
rest being assigned according to
population.
In this way. he said, the
populous states of California and
New York, which usually tend to
be liberal, will have a greater
representation.
Weaver urged students to run
for election to the national
Democratic Convention which
will be held in Miami. There are
usually eight delegates elected
from the Fourth Congressional
District.
A candidate must have been
registered in the party for 180
days prior to the election and
either pay the registration fee of
$15 or collect 500 signatures on a
nominating petition, he said.
a pre-school education which can
start as early as one year into the
child’s life.
Dellenback said he was told the
“goal of pre-school education is
to improve the ability of the child
to adapt to Russian society. What
they were really saying is that
indoctrination into Communism
starts very early.”
Statistics he was shown
reported that 30 per cent of
children in Moscow are attending
some form of pre-school
education.
Entrance into universities is on
a competitive basis, he said, and
each student receives a stipend to
cover his living expenses. No
tuition is charged in Russian
universities.
The stipend students receive
ranges from 40 to 80 rubles while
top students, called Lenin
students he said, can receive up
to about 100 rubles per month. A
ruble, said Dellenback, is worth
about $1.20.
The average wage for the
Russian worker, said Dellen
back, is about $240 per month, but
top educators receive in the
neighborhood of $540 to $600 per
month.
However, he said, this is offset
by the fact that housing costs only
5 to 10 per cent of the wages, and
all medical care is free.
Dellenback impressed on his
audience that “it is absolutely
imperative that in a situation
where our systems are so very
different, in a society different
economically and
philosophically, in a society with
all the cut off that exists, that we
increase our communication.

HPUP reps on faculty senate agenda
The University Faculty Senate will meet Wednesday in 150

faculty.
Law professor Herb Titus, senate member, said the one item on
the senate’s agenda is to elect an additional faculty member to the

HPUP is presently composed of six administrators, five faculty
