Teachers adopt six-point plan The Executive Board of the Eugene Education Association (EEA) has adopted a six-point Action Program which it recommended to teachers in the Eugene school district at a Tuesday meeting. One of the recommendations requests district teachers to refuse to accept student teachers and all other University personnel, pending the outcome of sanction hearings to be held by the Oregon Education Association (OEA) in Eugene Thursday and Friday. Pat Meany, Deputy Executive Director of the OEA told the some 400 educators that a five member fact-finding team will take testimony from teachers and then report to the OEA Board of Trustees at a March 3 meeting. Meany said that if an OEA sanction is invoked, withdrawal of placement services of the OEA to the district would occur and an alert that undesirable conditions existed in Eugene would be sent to other placement services throughout the country. Referring to the possibility that student teachers would not be accepted in the district, EEA President Gordon Quigley said that it’s not the association’s attempt to do harm to the University. “We can’t send student teachers to substandard districts and expect them to come out effectively professional,’’ he said. Robert Gilberts, Dean of the College of Education at the University, refused to comment on the EEA’s action. Other points of the Action Program recom mended to the teachers include continued work with the OEA on the sanctions investigation and the purchasing of quarter-page advertisements in the Eugene Register-Guard. Another proposal concerns withdrawal of all staff from extra duties in the areas of after school advisory, supervisory and consultive services, all committee meetings outside the eight-hour work day, all evening and weekend responsibilities not designated as contract duty, and ail in-service and parent-principal conferences beyond the eight-hour workday. The two final recommendations ask teachers to refuse summer contracts and withdrawal from committees involved in developing high school graduation criteria and requirements. The EEA issued a statement containing the six recommendations and requested the teachers to sign the statements, pledging to support the proposals. Quigley said he expected aU signed statements to be returned later this week. He said he hoped that at least 50 per cent of the teachers would sign the statement. ■rs: <2£ r/ss nmi 'featuring FILM BOC#£> and Periodicals Literature Qnd Modern f/cnoN / L WOMENS Literature n our OF PRINT TWLES SEARCHED PROMPT handling of SPECIAL ORDSR5 V • • • new comics every Monday • old comics pulps, newspaper old rolling Stone VIEBU^SBjL, AND TMPC/ -^ - Tne Oregon Daily Emerald it podlitned Monday tnrougn Friday during tne tcnool year, except during exam and vacation | periods, and tour times weekly during summer session by tne Emerald Board of Directors at tne University of Oregon Second class postage paid at Eugene.
