Instructors needed to teach
at correctional institutions
By JOSH MARQUIS
Of the Emerald
The Corrections Division is
looking for graduate students and
University instructors who would
be interested in volunteering to
teach lower division college
courses at Oregon’s three
correctional institutions.
Pat Garris of the Corrections
Division explained that the
program has been in operation
since 1970, although it was first
conceived in 1965 when an OSU
professor taught an
oceanography course at the
penitentiary and received such
enthusiastic response that a
regular program was for
mulated.
Not to be confused with the
NewGate program, the volunteer
teaching project is now searching
for graduate students and in
structors in virtually all areas
who would be interested in going
to Salem one night (sometimes
days) a week for 10 weeks. The
program is now being coor
dinated to recruit teachers for
this summer and fall. Teachers in
the program would spend be
tween two and three hours each
session with inmates from the
Oregon State Penitentiary
(OSP), the Oregon State
Correctional Institution (OSCI)
and the Oregon Women’s
Correctional Center. At present
some of the women are taking
classes at the men’s penitentiary.
Garris said that there have
been 166 course offerings in the
program, ranging from the
Psychology of Racism to
Japanese Literature. The classes
offered are in the 100-200 course
series (i.e. lower-division) with a
few exceptions.
Gams said that at present 13
colleges participate in the
volunteer teaching program,
which involves up to 300 inmates.
She emphasized the opportunity
for interested graduate students
to get teaching experience
through the program. The
students at the three state in
stitutions receive credit through
the State Division of Continuing
Education.
Garris explained that the two
men’s institutions, which house
over 1000 persons, involve dif
ferent types of teaching
situations. At OSCI the inmates
tend to be younger, first of
fenders and the intent of the
program there is to “draw in
terest to educational op
portunities.” At OSP, where the
inmates are frequently older and
serving longer terms, there are a
large number of persons in
terested in getting involved in a
total educational program.
James Oswald from the
Corrections Division will be at
the EMU Tuesday from 10:30 to
11:30 a.m. to talk with interested
persons. Anyone seeking further
information can call the division
in Salem at 378-2401.
Two democrats
Eymann fires solons
SALEM (Special) — In the
latest rumbling of dissident
House democrats, House speaker
Richard Eymann (D-Springfield)
Wednesday removed two
democratic representatives from
their positions as chairer and
vice chairer of the House Con
sumer and Business Affairs
Committee.
The two legislators, Rep. Dick
Magruder (D-Clatskanie) and
Rep. Jeff Gilmour (D-Jefferson),
are among six conservative
House democrats rumoured to be
forming a coalition with
Republican House members.
Eymann said in an afternoon
news conference that the main
reason he removed the two from
the committee “was to facilitate
the work of that committee”
which “has the poorest record of
action of any standing committee
of the House.” He listed several
consumer measures the com
mittee has failed to act upon.
But he also indicated that he
made the move partially as an
attempt to thwart the formation
of any coalition between the
conservative Democrats and the
Republicans.
He named a Republican, Rep.
Bill Gwin (R-Albany) as the new
committee chairer, and Rep. Ed
Stevenson (D-Coquille) as the
new vice chairer.
In a later news conference,
Magruder and Gilmour denied
the formation of any coalition,
saying that their disagreement
with Eymann stems only from
objections to his hiring policies
and his appointment of himself to
the recently announced “blue
ribbon” committee studying tax
relief alternatives to the defeated
McCall tax plan.
The leader of the House
Republicans also denied the
formation of any “formal
compact” between the con
servative Democrats and House
Republicans Wednesday.
Rep. Gordon Macpherson (R
Waldport), however, also said
that while the Republicans “have
not and will not seat a coalition
with any faction of the
Democratic caucus, we will do
what we can to see that this
House acts upon meaningful
legislation either in committee or
on the House floor.”
A coalition between the six
Democrats and the twenty-seven
Republican House members
would have the power to pass or
defeat any piece of legislation on
the House floor.
Committee appointed to study
design of new legislative structure
By JOHN KNOWLTON
Of the Emerald
The future of University
governance could well be in the
hands of six Faculty Senate
members and newly-elected
ASUO president Greg Leo.
The seven-member University
Governance Committee was
appointed by Faculty Senate
chairer Bernard Crasemann and
will prepare a detailed recom
mendation or series of recom
mendations on the design of a
legislative body to replace the
existing Faculty Senate-General
Faculty structure.
Economics professor Robert
Campbell will be chairman of the
committee. Other committee
members include, Robert Harris,
Archilecture; Lioyd Lovell,
Education; George Platt, Law;
Irma Sherwood, English; George
Streisinger,. Biology; and ex
officio member Greg Leo, ASUO
Executive.
Input into committee con
siderations will not be limited to a
select few, said Campbell.
“I don’t want to limit the
deliberations to the committee
members alone,” he said. “We
will have public hearings where
anyone — students, faculty, etc.
— can come and present their
views” on University gover
nance.
Campbell said the committee
would initially use four
documents as “basic sources of
information and ideas.” Those
documents include:
— the Report of the Committee
on the Future of the University
(June 1970).
— the Report of the ad hoc
committee on Governance of the
University (June 1971).
— the four memoranda on
University Government from
President Clark (March 1973).
— the Report of 1969-70 Com
mittee on Committees entitled
“Thoughts on Revision of the
Committee System at the
University.”
Besides the documents, the
-committee will solicit in
formation from other universities
on the west coast, said Campbell.
The committee will report their
recommendations to the Faculty
Senate not later than its regular
November 1973 meeting.
