AOSL wins slot on state board docket By JAMES DIETZ Of the Emerald A last-minute agreement be tween representatives of the As sociated Oregon Student Lobby (AOSL) and the staff of the State Board of Higher Education has averted what ASUO Pres. Jim Bernau describes as a “major confrontation" between the two groups. The still tentative compromise, reached last Thursday in a tele phone conversation between ASUO Consultant Don Chalmers and Vice Chancellor Miles Rom ney, will allow AOSL leaders to propose changes in several ad ministrative rules during the Committee on Instruction's April 29 meetinq. One of these proposals calls for student participation on tenure and promotion committees in all of Oregon s colleges and univer sities. Romney had ruled earlier for the second time lhat AOSL pro posals could not be presented be fore the committee until the next bi-monthly meeting. Bernau, author of the proposals and spokesperson for the AOSL, is not completely satisfied with the agreement. He points out that the AOSL will have only 15-20 minutes to air proposals. “It's enough time to present our written material and to have a couple of key testifiers," he says. "But it certainly is a half-way measure. I'm not going to tell you it isn't. I’m not gonna feel relieved that I got patted on the head " According to Bernau, the AOSL had requested the proposals be presented at the February meet ing, but were told that the commit tee would not have sufficient time to consider it then. It was assumed that the proposals would be placed on the docket for the April meeting. When the AOSL received word from Romney early this month that time constraints had once again bumped the student-initiated proposals off the docket, Bernau, in his own words, "started smok ing." With the next meeting not scheduled until late June, after school is out, Bernau outlines his dilemma: “The AOSL wants to bring in students from all over the state (to testify), and how can we do that a week after finals when people are not in school, graduated, or at their summer jobs?" After an unsuccessful attempt by Bernau to change Romney’s mind over the phone, AOSL rep resentatives went to work. Last Thursday morning they contacted five members of the state board, and requested the members call Romney to suggest he adjust the docket to allow the proposals to be aired at the April meeting. When Chalmers called Romney up later that same day, the vice chancellor, according to Chal mers, was "bristling.” Yet, after some discussion, Romney tenta tively agreed that the brief presen tation would be possible at the up coming meeting. Chalmers stated that final confirmation will come early this week. Bemau calls the agreement a “compromise.” “The short time we have for the docket probably will not allow ac tion on the proposals until the June meeting," he explained. Before the compromise was reached, Bernau discussed his frustrations with the matter. “I once thought it was only a lack of Veteran bonus sought Oregon may become the 20th state to have a bonus for Vietnam era veterans. Oregon veterans groups are circulating a petition that seeks a bonus of up to $500 for veterans of the Korean and Vietnamese con flicts. The bonus would be paid from a fund financed by general obligation bonds. Sponsors of the petition will have to obtain 61,646 valid signa tures by July 2 in order to place it on the general election ballot. Copies of the petition are avail able at the Veterans Office in Room 260 Oregon Hall. The proposal would set pay ment of $25 a month for service in Korea between June 27, 1950, and Jan. 31,1955, and for service in Vietnam between Aug. 5,1964 and March 28, 1973. Veterans would be paid $15 per month for other foreign service and $10 per month for domestic service during those periods. The maximum payment would be $500. expertise in our wit and persua sion which prevented us from de veloping and winning arguments. I’ve discovered that you have to practically haul them into court.
