• • • Faculty meeting (Continued from Pagel) —Several faculty would be eliminated, as well as all graduate teaching fellows; —The PE and health course offerings would be greatly reduced; —Students would have to go to other departments and schools in the University to obtain their 6 hours for the 186 hour graduation requirement, putting budgetary pressure on these units; —Students have voted in favor of retaining the requirements. Grace Graham, professor of education, said if the requirements are eliminated, “women are going to get the hatchet.” She said of the 15 women in the PE department, ten teach the service courses (non major) used to fulfill requirements. Veronica Eskridge, a graduate student in the School of Health, PE and Recreation, said students have voted consistently in favor of retaining the requirements. She said in a 1969 student referendum, 60 per cent of those voting wanted to retain some part of the PE and health requirements. In a May, 1971 referendum, 52 per cent voted to retain the entire 5 terms of PE and the 1 term of health. Her statement was refuted by David Jennings, ASUO Senate President. He said they show a declining number of students in teres ted in keeping the requirements and suspected that most students are evenly divided on the matter. The ASUO Senate voted last week in favor of eliminating the requirements. . Jennings continued that there really wasn’t need to teach PE in a classroom situation, since students can use competitive athletics, club sports or the Outdoor Program for “physical experiences.” Another speaker, Leonard Jacobson, associate professor of health education, said, “There is no question about the positive value of physical and health education, but it seems strange this one school should be the fall guy” (in the financial crisis). Art Pearl, professor of education, urged elimination of the requirement so the HPER School can “compete with the rest of us solely on their merits” in the budget re-ordering. A resolution asking re-instatement of funds cut from the State System of Higher Education during its financial emergency was also passed by the faculty. The motion, introduced as a suspension of the rules by John Sherwood, professor of English, was jointly sponsored by the University AAUP and AFT chapters. It asks re-instatement of the funds because “it appears that the financial crisis in the state has eased to some extent.” The resolution also asks for a statewide re-ordering of priorities. Edwin Beal, professor of management, spoke in favor of the resolution because “there are economic indicators that there will be a surplus at the end of the biennium.” He estimated that there will be more state income than expected from cigarette and corporation taxes. He also mentioned that less people than expected have applied for property tax relief funds. “None of this shows as yet on the Governor’s figures, but it will by the end of the fiscal year,” Beal said. He continued, “If the State Board of Higher Education and the Chancellor mount a program this summer there is a chance the cuts can be rescinded.” The resolution will be presented at the State Board Finance Committee meeting April 27. In other business, the faculty passed four motions on plagiarism and cheating introduced by the Academic Standards Committee. Discussion of a proposed change to an early semester system was postponed until the May meeting. RA applicants wanted- a job for all seasons You’re in authority -but you don’t police. You’re a counselor—but not a parent. “You’re a resident, but you also work for the housing staff,” says Hick Helms about his job—dormitory resident assistant. HA it’s a hard-to define job, but a very sought after one. Dick Romm, assistant housing director for the University says he expects about 175 applicants for next year’s RA positions. This year there are 54 RA’s Romm isn’t sure how many will be hired for the 1972-73 school year Applications for RA positions may be picked up at Carson Hall. The deadline is April 17. Romm said applicants, who usually have sophomore or junior standing now, are interviewed by a three or four person panel and are selected on an equally hard-to-define basis. Romm listed these general qualifications for RA applicants, however: he or she must be “comfortable enough in grades to slide a bit;” those on probation aren’t eligible; the applicant should not have outside employment—the housing office considers being an RA a full time job, he should have experience working with people, preferably college-age people and should have group living experiences. But no matter how much experience a novice RA has had, he or she is bound to face new and imaginative crises presented by the 40 to 150 students he is responsible for. For example, take the men’s dorm which wetted down and soaped up their hallway floor to make it a prime seat-skiing run. Of course they found that they had to clean up the mess too, so another dorm tried the same prank -with dry soap; Roller skaters who chose 3a.m. and the dorm hallway for their derby time and place; Fire-cracker warfare—which the police responded to as a call for a shoot-out; —A freshman whose motto is: college is the time to “make up for those Wednesday and Thursday nights that your parents didn’t let you out”; —The surprise of not only co-ed dorms, but co-ed showers; These same imaginative minds are also capable of less capricious activities: —Valentine’s Party for retarded children; —Playing Santa to underprivileged children; —A steak fry get-together at Hendricks Park; —An in-dorm fireplace party. Most of the time, however, an RA is just another dorm resident and not the problem-plagued person you might expect him to be. He spends only about three hours a week in job-related meetings. He is often just the person with a key for the locked-out resident. One dorm resident said he appreciated his RA’s knowledge of campus and the Eugene area fun spots. In recent Emerald interviews several RA’s said they thought residents preferred to take major personal problems to their friends rather than confiding in their RA. Residents are more apt to bring momentary and interpersonal conflicts to the RA for a quick solution, they said. Why would upperclassmen, after having lived away from the dorms want to return as RA’s? Several current RA’s gave financial reasons as their primary motive for applying RA’s receive a salary of $1,150 for the school year; about $900 of that is deducted for room and board. RA’s have a single room with bath, but are only charged for a double. Those interviewed weren’t only interested in the money, however, they also “wanted to work with people” as well. Others said they just enjoy dorm life. Campers - Wagens Sedans - Sq.

This expression of fanatical devotion to the Nazi's is a unique historical record which perhaps more than any other document exposes the psychology of the Third Reich. "Triumph . . . had an almost hysterical effect upon its audiences ... not even the most prejudiced observer can fail to respond"—Arthur Knight. "Spectacular, a clear and ecstatic piece of propaganda ... a testimony to the noxious animal magnitism of Hitler"—Peter Cowie.
