Student plans revival
of ‘Oregana ’ yearbook
“We want this yearbook to be what the students want,” said Doug
Baker about the plan he has for reviving the Oregana, “we’ll print
what the students want.”
The annual was last available in 1969 and in 1970, the Student
Publications Board voted that the 1969 issue be the last one available to
students.
“The University never gave the yearbook staff their own free
will,” Baker gaid, “when you looked at the Oregana you got the im
pression that all it was for was to advertise the University.”
Baker is asking all those who are interested in helping to see a new
annual publication appear on campus to meet tonight at 7 p.m. in the
EMU.
Baker has no concrete plans yet as to the exact nature of the
possible project and has so far only carried out research as to the
reasons the Oregana failed. He believes this will prevent a similar
occurance with the possible future publication.
According to Baker the yearbook would not be a money-making
venture and would sell to students for under $7.
The first new yearbook would probably not appear until spring of
1974 Baker said.
‘No growth’ plan
approved by board
PORTLAND (Special) — A
policy of no growth for the
University for the coining
decade, first articulated by
administration officials and
recommended by the academic
affairs committee of the board,
was approved here yesterday by
the State Board of Higher
Education.
Policy guidelines for the eight
other state institutions under the
board control were also ap
proved.
The University will con
centrate instead on “carrying out
its present assigned missions in
the state system,” the report
said. The report referred to the
University as “a mature well
developed institution.”
The guidelines brought for
review before th * board
periodically will be used in the
future for a broad-based
operation for the University and
the State System as a whole. It is
also used by legislators as an
information source about the
various institutions.
The guidelines deal mainly
with generalities “to provide the
opportunities for the total
development-for the student.” It
was this type of statement that
drew questions from some board
members during discussion at
the academic affairs committee
in December.
The guidelines did, however,
note a desire to “maintain and
strengthen the University library
and collections in the University
library.”
The only forseeahle curricular
growth is in the health services
area. While the idea of a second
medical school is not to be in
terpreted, the guidelines say that
as the needs of the state and the
area are explored, the resources
of the University for providing
health services personnel will be
examined.
In other action, the board gave
final approval to the appointment
of Dr. David Menasahe as
assistant dean of the University
Medical School. Menasahe will
also serve as director of the
school’s crippled children
division.
White Bird
to stay open
White Bird Socio-Medical
Clinic will not close its doors
today.
Today was the deadline for the
clinic to pay off $15,000 borrowed
for the down payment on its two
buildings at 323 E. 12th St.
Two weeks ago the clinic still
needed $9000 to meet the jj
payment. They have not raised «
all of it but through a community U
effort, including a radio telethon, (j
over $5000 has been raised.
The bank holding the loan note r
has agreed to renegotiate with
White Bird the remaining $4006. B
NUC Presents
EL CHACAL
An incredibly realistic enactment of a Chilean
murder case - of a peasant who kills a widow and
her five children, is caught, tried, found guilty
and executed. A powerful analysis of the con
dition of the Chilean peasantry, and an attack on
a reactionary judicial system. One of the best of
the new wave of Latin American films. Also,
CHILI PUTS ON LONO PANTS
a documentary on the new Chile.
