Committee adopts 2 motions on plan repoX By DAVID HARMS Of the Emerald The University’s Campus Planning Committee passed two motions Wednesday regarding a long-range campus planning report by planning consultant Christopher Alexander. The first motion said the committee accepts the Alexander report as fulfilling Alexander’s contract with the University subject to final editing and the submission of a final report. A second motion said the planning committee recom Tflends the adoption of the Alexander report as a guide plan at the University, and that the committee proceed to review various parts of the report in regard to specific im plementation. The committee plans to meet next week to further discuss the report. Suggestions and com ments for the final draft will be aired, and the committee will decide on its reaction to the epilogue and implementation sections of the report. The introduction to Alexan der’s report describes the report as “a planning process whereby this community may take a direct hand in the design of its own environment.” The report consists of six chapters and an epilogue. Organic growth Chapter 1, entitled “The problem of organic growth” asks a question: “How can we coor dinate a large number of separate design acts, carried out by hundreds of different people, over a period of many years, in such a way that they create a living, coherent and ongoing order, with balanced relation ships among the parts?” Chapters two through six at tempt to answer the question, Alexander believes participation by students, faculty and staff play a central role in the growth of the university. Another Alexander principle states “that all building projects go forward in relatively small increments, and that the campus as a whole grows as a result of many hudreds of piecemeal acts of design.” Fitting a master plan The remaining chapters of the report describe techniques of how campus groups should proceed in planning, and how all the “piecemeal acts” fit together in the master plan. The final section of the report, the epilogue, is the key to the success of the master plan. The 17 principles of organization stated in the epilogue are “in tended to guarantee some feature of the overall process.” Briefly, the 17 principles call for: —The existence of a campus planning committee to adopt patterns which guide the projects, and to review the patterns every year at a public meeting, —The existence of a campus planning staff which will perform an annual diagnosis of the entire campus; —Adoption and publishing of the diagnosis by the campus planning committee; —Project proposals by any group; —Patterns, diagnosis, and policies provided for each user group; —Class credit for time spent on a project; —Submission of projects on a standard form; —Campus planning staff criticizm for each project; —Priorities among proposed projects determined by the campus planning committee; —Equal sums spent on large, medium and small projects; — Allocation of funds at the highest level (State Board of Higher Education and the state government); —Architects not hired until designs are complete. Trailers for office spare In other business, the com mittee voted to recommend approval of a physical plant proposal to place two trailers, to be used for office space by Special Education, in a parking area near the Clinical Services Building The trailers are to be used by 22 people arriving this fall to work in Special Education. The two 24 by 60 foot trailers will be located immediately north of the Army ROTC building in a parking area already occupied by other office trailers. Also discussed at Wednesday’s meeting was the future of Hayward Field’s covered stands. The committee said the Oregon NAACP condemns Nixon’s lead in antibusing legislation fight DETROIT (AP) — The NAACP unanimously adopted an emergency resolution Tuesday, condemning President Nixon for his anti-busing views and declaring he had aroused "passions of hate and bitterness” among Americans’ Roy Wilkins, executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the resolution “condemns Nixon because Nixon is the President of the United States and has no business leading the fight for a con stitutional amendment against busing.” Wilkins said the resolution passed by the 2,500 delegates to the NAACP’s 63rd annual con vention, states: “Nixon, in calling for a moratorium on federal court-ordered busing and asking Congress to forbid courts to prescribe busing in cases that have come before them, was interfering with one of the three branches of government—the judiciary.” He said the resolution was not aimed mainly at condemning Nixon, but was meant to point up the seriousness of anti-busing legislation. - In their resolution, the delegates said: “We call upon all units of the NAACP and all of America, to reject both the crude and sophisticated attempts at perpetuating dualism in American society by keeping black children contained in segregated educational com pounds.” The NAACP also plans to challenge the busing section of the higher education bill in the U S. Supreme Court, according to the civil rights organization's general counsel, Nathaniel Jones. “We definitely intend to test the constitutionality of anti-busing legislation,” he said in an in terview today while attending the NAACP’s convention in Detroit. Jones said the NAACP was working with the Legal Defense Fund, the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups in seeking a case to bring before the high court. “We’re not sure of the case we will bring,” he said, “because the law talks of racial balance and our cases deal with constitutional impediments,” Jones said he does not see the possibility of a constitutional amendment banning school busing. “A constitutional amendment is far-fetched,” he said. “That suggestion is more political in nature than legal.” Jones expressed confidence in what other NAACP officials have described as the “Nixonized” court. “Regardless of what the U S. Supreme Court does in other areas, it is not going to retreat when it comes to schools," he said.
