IFC’s suggested $135,000 funding of the Athletic
Department $15,000 was “researched very
carefully.
“Last year’s executive negotiated a contract
with the AD in the student’s best interests The I FT
recommendation would remove 1500 of the 6000
student seats in football and 1500 of the 4000 student
seats in basketball. That isn’t in the student’s best
interest. The IFC recommendation is not the kind of
budget we ought to have for next year. I support the
executive recommendation of $150,000 for the AD."

Speakers
discuss
African
unity
Members of the African
Student Association (ASA) gave
a series of speeches on African
problems last Friday in the
EMU. The speeches were a part
of ASA’s African Unity Day.
The speakers discussed the
means by which Africa might be
unified, the different approaches
to economic development, the
role of the African student, the
role of the woman in African
society, and the treatment Africa
has received by other nations.
Other events included in
African Unity Day were panel
discussions, a film titled “Come
Back Africa,” and a party held at
the Westmoreland Community
Center. In conjunction with the
ASA, the Eugene Coalition
Liberation Support Movement
sponsored an African Liberation
Day on May 26.
The First speaker was Fatu
Gbama who raised the problem
of which method to choose in
developing the African economy.
She contrasted the “narrow
approach" with that of the
“broad approach.” "Hie former,
she said, would mean the training
of an elite to manage and
strengthen the economy, while
the latter course would focus on
building a strong agricultural
base. Fatu said the “narrow
approach’’ would exact “too high
a price” because it would foster
elitism and would not reduce the
poverty of the masses.
Carol Cross then discussed the
“Goals of African Development.”
She asked the audience whether
they thought that economic
development meant the ability to
purchase luxury items like
“Italian shoes,” or whether it
meant to develop the economic
resources of Africa without
outside intervention. She said
Western ways would not work in
Africa. “Do you want Africa to
look like New York?” she asked,
drawing attention to the problem
there.
Lo’ Brien then discussed “The
Role of the African Student in the
Context of African Unity.” He
said that since African students
come from multiferous countries,
many of which are hostile to each
other, the goal of the African
student should be to work
towards African unity.
He said organizations at the
University were intended to help
African students become ad
justed to the U.S. but were not
political enough to help the
students towards the
achievement of African unity.
Cathy Fitzpatrick then com
mented on the role of women in
African society. She said African
women played an important part
in the agricultural communalism
found in Africa prior to colonial
interference from the West. After
colonialization occurred, she
said, men were offered the best
economic opportunities just as
they have been in the Western
countries. She urged women to
participate in political events and
revolutions.
ASA President Uyoata
Ekandem concluded with a
speech on “International
Morality,” in which he said
Africa has the right to be free
from its colonial rulers. He
pointed to the ill treatment of
Africa by other nations and said
that even now Africa does not
have proportional representation
in the United Nations.
Exchange programs with
other colleges still open
Out-of-state tuition need not be
a barrier to undergraduate
students who would like to spend
next year at the University of
Hawaii or a number of other
American schools, said Marshall
Wattles, vice-provost and co
ordinator of the National Student
Exchange Program, last week.
Wattles, who emphasized that

it is not yet too late to apply, said
the University has SEC
agreements with 20 American
universities. Students are ex
changed mi a one-to-one basis.
Each Oregon student enrolling at
a member university is accepted
there as a one-year transfer. Hie
student pays only the in-state
tuition at that university. Hiis
creates an opening for an out-of
state student from a par
ticipating institution to attend
Oregon at resident rates.
About 35 Oregon un
dergraduates are now par
ticipating in the program. Most of
them are at either Massachusetts
or Hawaii, according to Wattles.
“I think it’s a good educational
experience,” Wattles said. “I try
to get students to try the
University of Alabama,” he
added. He feels it would be a good
educational experience for the
right sort of student.
The program has been in effect
for about six years. It costs the
taxpayers nothing except a
yearly $250 administrative fee.
The individual student ex
change is limited to one year
Anyone wishing to attend an out
of-state university longer than
one year must pay the regular
out-of-state tuition.
The program is open to
sophomores and juniors. In
terested students should contact
