The final person that offerred
testimony was Rep. Curtis Wolfer
(D-Silverton), son of the com
mittee chairer and at 23, the
youngest member of the
legislature.
“I do not feel that the age to run
for office should be lowered to
18,” Wolfer testified.
He admitted that “there may
be people that could do the job at
that age. But I don’t feel the
majority could and that is what
we are dealing with now.”
Wolfer incorrectly reported
that under the present law,
persons must be 25 years old to
run for any other state office.
Bazett corrected him, pointing
out a person can run for any local
or state office at 18 except
Governor, District Court Judge
and legislator.

Tenure discussion . . .
(Continued from Page 1)
on finance, said “If the state system institutions
continue to grant tenure at the same rate, they will
soon reach a 100 per cent maximum. We need a
clear policy defining tenure before the crisis hits.”
The idea that some of the problems of tenure
lie in the lack of criteria for executive ad
ministrators was suggested by Robert MacMahon,
spokesperson for the Interinstitutional Faculty
Senate (IFS). MacMahon said he feels a better
system for identifying the roles and responsibilities
of administrators is needed.
MacMahon also stressed that faculty members
should be allowed to review their own tenure files
before the files are sent on for executive evaluation.
Committee members, as well as institutional
presidents, discussed the problem that a faculty
member experiences when his department has been
eliminated from the institution because of fianncial
exigency.
University President Robert Clark said, “I do
not believe that an institution should be forced to
continue on tenure if the department is eliminated.”
Clark suggested that the problems of financial
exigency might be relieved through state funding.
“Because of the fluctuation in enrollment, ” Clark
said, “the institution comes out underfunded. If the
state funding were set high and operational funding
set at a lower rate, the board would have plenty of
latitude with which Jo cover failures on
enrollment.”
Clark also stressed the problem of faculty
members expecting tenure after teaching for six
years. He said there should be a review in the fourth
year of employment, to evaluate progress toward
tenure. Clark also said that, at times, tenures would
be granted before the usual waiting period of four
years, but they should not be expected.
He said he feels that student involvement in
considering a faculty member’s criterion for tenure
is very important.
Clark said, “Sometimes it’s effective and
sometimes it’s not....faculty members are almost
unanimously opposed to student representation on
the evaluative committees,”
According to Clark, tenured faculty at the
University represent 50 to 55 percent of the total
faculty and that figure is steadily going up. Clark
proposed initiating a special planning staff at the
University which might help in determining the
frequency and percentage of tenure grants so that
there is not an excessive number of tenured faculty
members.
Leonard Rice, president of the Oregon College
of Education, stressed that tenure “does not mean
absolute job security.”
Rice said, “The institution can not provide the
security that it does not, in itself, represent.”
Rice agreed with Clark in that financial
exigency may cause department elimination and ,
subsequently, tenured faculty.
After nearly two hours of discussion Mosser
suggested that more time be given to the individual
institutions for tenure planning.
Committee members agreed to request each
institution to bring back its own specific problems
regarding the Romney report, before further
consideration of the report will be made.

charged Caldwell with “taking
the initiative to cut com
munications between the
registrar’s office and the project
offices.” She and other directors
cited instances where they had
failed to get information from
University offices, or from SEP
Ron McClain, director of
Project Continuation, told
Caldwell “Your responsibility
doesn’t end with putting things in
the mail.”
One of the directors’ criticisms
of Rhoades proposal was failure
to establish a “direct line of
communication” with various
University offices, which they
felt would help communications
problems.
Hastay and Burch also said
that Caldwell has not taken the
time to visit the projects, even
though she has been invited.
Hastay asked her, “What is more
important than direct com
munication and confrontation
with the projects?”
Gerald Bogen, vice president
for Student Services, said no
more action has been taken on
Rhoades’ proposal since the
directors’ initial negative
reaction to it. The proposal was to
be a guideline in finalizing
requests for federal funds for
next year, and for the 1973-75
period, which the State
Legislature is now considering.
No deadline has been set yet for
requesting the funds.
