Committee appointments for locals
By NAN HENDERSON
Of the Emerald
SALEM (Special) — Speaker
elect of the House Richard
Eymann, (D-Springfield) an
nounced appointments to 13
House committees in a series of
press conferences here last week.

In a joking aside to the audience, Boe said that there were three
people in Oregon who understood school financing laws and that it
had been suggested that a law be passed restricting these three from
flying on the same airplane.
Boe is very wary of the recently enacted Federal Revenue Sharing
Program and is afraid it might result in a “net minus” of federal funds
for the state.
He fears the federal government may begin “a tightening down of
the screws” in partially federally -funded programs. The reason,
according to Boe, is that the Nixon administration may begin to
require local and state governments to use revenue sharing monies far
programs now funded under other programs.
“We may be better off under present programs,” be concluded.

Bill
removal
easier
SALEM (Special) — For the
first time in ova-10 years, only 31
votes —a majority of the House
members— will be necessary to
draw a bill from a House com
mittee.
House democrats voted in a
Saturday caucus to amend Rule
9.30 which required a two-thirds
majority on the floor to draw a
bill from committee.
Last session, such bills as the
“end the war” bill (to keep
Oregon draftees from being sent
to an undeclared war) and
ratifications of the 18-year-old
vote amendment might have
been pulled out of the committee
by the assembly if such a rule had
been in effect.
The bill to ratify 18-year-old
vote amendment was finally let
out of committee only because
then-House speaker Robert
Smith (R.-Burns) authorized the
bill to be sent to the House floor.

to drive over into a public right of
way, where the RideStop sign will
be”.
All signs will be located in
marked *no parking’ strips, and
visibility should be clear. Wild
emphasizes that “it won’t be
illegal. Hitchiking is only against
the law when you hitch on the
street. In RideStop you’re on the
right of way, or the curb, at all
times.”
Thirty-two initial RideStop
sites have been proposed, chosen
both for safety and convenience,
and it is believed that the sites
themselves will solicit the rides,
not the individual rider. Wild
concludes that “the chances for
success are very good. We’rt
offering a convenience to both,
hitchikers, riders, and the
motorist”.
Jt is also hoped that RideStop, if
successful, will become a major
part of the daily lives of the
students who attend this
University. RideStop routes, sign
locations, and complete in
formation about the basic Ride
Stop process will soon be released
to the public, (in pamphlet form).
With air, noise, and people
pollution three of the main
ecological concerns of both
student, motorist, and the private
citizen; RideStop is intended as
only one attempt to circumvent
an eventual collision that man is
faced with against his own en
vironment If everything goes
according to plan, then RideStop
will be ready far everyday use by
students and motorists on
Monday, January 22nd.

and the President of the
University, whose responsibility
it is to seek advice from all of the
other parties and to make a
recommendation to the State
Board of Higher Education
‘‘Materials for the review in
clude written statements on the
faculty member’s performance
in teaching, research, and
community and university
service.
“It is hard to imagine a more
rigorous review process. Cer
tainly, people in civil service jobs
leave probationary status much
earlier, and union members
typically begin to earn seniority
right after 30 days on the job. We
know of no other system of
review and promotion in other
professions which is quite as
rigorous.
‘To say that the system is a
good one is not to assert that it is
perfect. In the first place, it
functions well only if the people
who make decisions have good
judgment. In the second place, it
does not guarantee that a faculty
member will fulfill his promise
after he receives tenure.
“Clearly, mistakes of
judgment can and do occur, and
some faculty members do not
turn out well. Nevertheless, it
seems to us that the burden of
proof is upon those who appear to
argue that the system of
promotion and tenure produces a
mediocre faculty.
It is cheap and thoughtless to
condemn the whole procedure
with vague references to its
failures while, at the same time,
refusing to suggest realistic
alternatives which would protect
students and taxpayers from the
very diseases of which the critics
of academic tenure complain.”
