Wallace forces claim platform ‘ignores wishes of the voters’ MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP)—A spokesman for Gov. George Wallace said Tuesday the Democratic platform drawn up for the national convention ignores the wishes of the voters. Unless the recommendation® of the party’s Platform Committee are rewritten on the con vention floor, said Charles Snider, they will amount to nothing more than “a suicide note” and drag the party down to “its worst defeat in history.” “You don’t have to take a poll to find this out, ’ he declared. “You can ask anybody on the street.” Wallace forces Snider, who directs the Alabama governor’s presidential campaign, said Wallace forces will challenge the platform at the convention in Miami Beach in hopes of making it responsive to what he called the expressed wishes of many voters across the nation. The Platform Committee voted overwhelmingly to give the Wallace followers a chance to offer their own planks after the convention opens July 10. They could have done it anyway with the support of 15 of the 150 committee members, but Tuesday’s vote makes certain that the Wallace proposals will be printed and distributed in advance to all delegates. Snider said in a prepared statement the Platform Committee “ignored the fact that delegates and conventions don’t elect presidents. The people do.” And, he added, it overlooked “the fact that 85 per cent of the people are opposed to forced school busing.” A proposed constitutional amendment against busing was one of several Wallace recom mendations rejected by the committee. Snider said the platform “weighs the Democratic party down with 100 tons of cement in ocean-deep water.” US.DA.

HEW grants $96,489 Helping older people face retirement realistically and with con fidence is the goal of a program developed by the Oregon Center for Gerontology, and funded recently by the Administration on Aging of the U S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The HEW grant of $96,489 is for the first year of a five-year program for developing and evaluating pre-retirement education programs in business, industry and government, and in other in stitutions such as senior centers and churches. Dr. Frances Scott, Director of the Oregon Center for Gerontology in the University’s College of Education will direct the project, along with U. Vincent Manion and Donna McKenzie, both Gerontology Center staff members. According to Dr. Scott, three types of pre-retirement programs will be studied. The first is a lecture series directed at those facing retirement, the second type includes some group discussion, and the third is described as human relations counseling in which group members learn from each other with direction from an experienced leader. The emphasis has been on human relations counseling in the summer institutes conducted on campus during the past three years for professionals and volunteers who work with the aging. Ap proximately 140 people have been trained during these institutes to develop education programs for pre-retirees. Welcome Wagon “Campus Welcome” will be at the University this fall.

Businesses in the coupon booklet will offer a complimentary gift when the student visits them. Approximately 3,500 new students will receive this packet. This number includes incoming freshmen, transfers, foreign and graduate students. Distribution will be through dormitories and on campus during New Student Orientation Week in September. This program will provide an opportunity for both civic and business interests in Eugene to recognize the new students on campus.
