Arab students
condemn
U.S.
involvement
By JOYCE BOLES
Of the Emerald
Representatives of the Arab Students
Organization, the Eugene Liberation Coalition
Support Movement, and the Iranian Student
Organization on campus pledged solidarity Monday
with “the liberation armies of the Arab people, and
particularly the Palestinian resistance forces” in
the Middle East War.
Reading a prepared statement at noon on the
EMU Terrace, Fahad Aldoasary, of Saudi Arabia,
announced for the Arab Students Organization that
it strongly condemns “the U.S. government for its
acts of aggression against the Arab people.” He
said the Arab group charged the U.S. government
with “actually participating in the war by sending
U.S. planes, piloted by U.S. citizens, to bomb Egypt
and Syria.”
The statement read by Aldoasary further said,
“The imperialist powers are removing their masks
and exposing their true imperialist nature.’’
Aldoasary cited a warning to the Arab people by
Joseph Lund, Secretary-General of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), of reprisals
“if they attempt to cut off the oil supply to Western
powers” as evidence of an imperialist conspiracy.
Another student, who refused to identify
himself, read a statement from the “Iranian
Student Organization” pledging “militant
solidarity” against “imperialist and Zionist
agents.” He said secret agents have been trained by
Israel to torture Irarfian prisoners, and that “ail
reactionary forces are united to suppress Arab
peoples.” Among these “reactionary forces” are
the Shah of Iran, and Thieu of Vietnam, he said.
Declining to identify himself for fear of “reprisals,”
the student concluded by saying, “Long live the
Palestinian revolution.”
Tony Gregg, graduate student in economics,
read a statement from the Eugene Coalition
Liberation Support Movement. The statement
“strongly” condemned the “aggression of the U.S.
government.” Gregjg referred to a “Kennedy
Rock efeller-Nixon clique” conspiring with Israel in1
the interests of imperialism. Gregg said the role of
NATO in the conflict has been “exposed,” if cutting
off the oil supplies is to be interpreted as an act of
aggression.
Gregg said the “U.S. and its media allies” are
preparing for intervention in the Middle East “in
the name of heating oil. ” The objective of the media
is to express Zionist be'Isfs and to continue the
confusion in the minds of Americans, he said. He
went on to call Israel’s Dayan, Eban, and Meir
“U.S.-trained Nazis.”
Native American Student program
teaches survival in ‘dominant system’
By VICKI POTH
Of the Emerald
‘We teach our students how to
obtain basic survival in the
dominant system and a sense of
belonging. We know the system—
these kids don’t. It’s their right to
be different.”
That’s how Native American
Student “Program Advocate”
Dennis DeGross describes his
program, designed to help Native
American students unfamiliar
with the University to be
assimilated into it.
The program is a part of the
University’s Educational Op
portunities Services (EOS)
program, which serves minority
and disadvantaged white
students.
DeGross says the program is
“striving to make the University
aware of its need to be a broader
based institution that can serve
more kinds of people.”
Formerly, the program con
sisted of separate groups set
aside to aid people of Native
American ancestry, and “as a
result, we formulated a mini
university,” DeGross says. “Our
programs were engaged in ac
tivities that the University was
offering...They had inefficient
means of resources which the
University had, and they were
unable to duplicate them.”
Thus, the program was an
image of the University on a
smaller basis, he says.
Now, as a part of EOS, the
Native American students have
contacts in University offices,
such as counseling, study skills,
financial aid, student services
and academic advising. Program
staff such as DeGross are
training University staff to
broaden their services to deal
with all students in need, he says.
DeGross says there is also a
program union which promotes
recreational activities for the
members, and the director
promoter is Rick Jackson. An
nually, a Pow-Wow takes place
on campus, which is one of the
largest Indian festivals in the

CEEB directors
hold area workshop
By JAMIE HARTSHORN
Of the Emerald
Schooling in decision-making as well as in academic subjects
could increase a student’s chances for success in later life, according
to Adele DiGiorgio, assistant director of the western regional office of
the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB).
She and Jim Sanderson, another CEEB assistant director,
presented a workshop for Eugene area high school counselors Monday
in the Erb Memorial Union.
“For the past three years, meetings for counselors have been held
throughout the United States to help CEEB get in touch with people
who use their services,” DiGiorgio explained. A major purpose of the
meetings, she said, is to notify counselors of changes in CEEB
programs such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) required for
entrance into many colleges and universities.
“New this year is the Decisions and Outcomes Program,” said
Sanderson, continuing the discussion of CEEB programs. “The
student — and adult — finds himself faced by a significant number of
important problems which require wise decisions.
“The four elements of decision-making,” Sanders said, “are
examining the alternatives, identifying the possible outcomes
resulting from the alternatives, formulating ideas on the probability of
the outcomes, and deciding the desirability of each outcome.
“In turn, three elements are involved in teaching the Decisions
and Outcomes Program,” he said. “First, values are taught and the
student learns to decide what is important to him in this respect.
“Second, he’s taught to effectively gather information and assess
it.
“Strategy, or how to arrange his information in making a
decision, is the third step,” said Sanderson.
The decision-making discussion was followed by a look at changes
in registration for the SAT.
“CEEB studied the errors most students made when filling out the
SAT application form, then tried to eliminate them by changing the
form,” DigGiorgio said. “We’ve also tried to save work for the high
school counselors by mailing SAT scores and booklets directly to the
student.”
