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.”

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. Welcome
Wagon International is sponsoring a program new to the state of
Oregon in which all new students at the University will receive civic
information and a coupon booklet representing area businesses. The
program has been successful on other campuses around the nation the
past two years.
Civic information to be distributed will include items about
Eugene, Lane County, informational brochures and maps. 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.
Any business wanting to be contacted about the program should notify
the Welcome Wagon answering service and a hostess assigned to the
Campus Welcome will call on it.
Head hostess for the Campus Welcome is Lou Ann Hurray, 2156
Birchwood. and assistant hostess is Carol Swaggerty, 1895 Sunrise
Blvd
