■\ Boqen designates four dormitories for alcohol use Students under 21 who have already made their dorm room reservations for next year don’t have to worry about being bounced because of the University’s new policy for al cohol in the dorms. Gerald Bogen, University vice - president for student af fairs, announced late Friday that alcohol would be allowed in dormitories that house "pre dominantly upper class stu dents.” Students over 21 living in those dorms will be allowed to drink alcohol in the privacy of their own rooms. All students under 21 would be prohibited from drinking in any of the rooms. Dorms which have been classified as "predominantly upper-class” and have been cleared for alcohol use include Carson, Earl, the University Inn and portions of Hamilton. Use of alcoholic beverages will con tinue to be prohibited in the designated freshman areas — including the entire Walton and Bean complexes (except for Bean West) and a freshman housing unit in Hamilton. Even students over 21 who reside in those units will not be allowed to drink in their rooms. H.P. Barnhart, director of University Housing, said the policy offers greater flexibility than an earlier plan to desig nate “over 21” dorms. Stu dents surveyed by the Housing Office expressed concern about isolating certain dorms just for students over 21, ac cording to Barnhart. “There are some students who have stated that after wait ing hours in line for the privilege of picking a dorm of their preference, we are now changing the rules on them; thus, if they are under 21 (or over) they may have to move depending on which units would become the over 21' dorms,” he said. "Even some students over 21, who wish to legally drink, are concerned that their dorms, known for quiet, may attract students who are re questing that particular unit only because they wish to drink." Barnhart explained that the new policy will solve some of the potential occupancy prob lems faced by the “over 21” plan. “We could have vacancies in the ‘over 21’ dorm units with either no one wishing to move to them, or more likely, people wanting to move into the dorm who are under 21. We could then be in the ludicrous situa tion of having customers and having spaces, but still having to turn people away.” Nilson chosen Oregana editor Jerril Nilson has been chosen editor of the 1976-77 Oregana, the University yearbook. The de cision was made last week by this year's editor, Rob Melton. Nilson, who was Oregon Daily Emerald wire editor this year, will take over at the start of the school year in September Her duties will include organiz ing a staff of about 40 persons and overseeing staff production of the book which comes out the follow ing September. She will be the third editor of the Oregana since it resumed publication in 1974 after a five-year break. •Jerril has watched the Oregana pull itself up by its head bands," said Melton. "She's a workacholic and a journalist and should do a fine job." Her work on the Emerald has also added to her knowledge of typography, editing and other journalistic skills necessary for the job, said Melton. The revival edition of the book, edited by Bruce Dworshak, was rewarded with a first-class rating by the Associated Collegiate Press earlier this year. The 1976-77 yearbook has been in creased to 368 pages and next year's should be close to 40(7, says Nilson. Nilson, a junior in journalism, is now taking applications for year book positions, with final picks to come during fall term. A SEARCH class to be taught next year will allow yearbook personnel to gain credit for being ‘ stringers" for the publication — something new for the journalism school. Jerril Nilson HEW funding aids financing Students on financial aid will have better chances next year in securing substantial funding since the Department of Health, Educa tion and Welfare (HEW) awarded three University programs a bun dle o< educational fundings. The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) pro gram received a total of $703,579. This lump sum will be divided into two categories: SEOG initial funds, $296,907; and SEOG con tinuing. $406,672. The campus-based National Di rect Student Loan (NDSL) prog ram also received $1,262,752 in federal capital contributions. And the approved level of federal fund ing for the 1976-77 academic year for the campus-based College Work Study program will be $1,302,637. In addition to these University level fundings, more money will pour through the national Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) program next year. Pres ident Ford signed a BEOG ap propriations bill Wednesday which directs $791 million to the program next year. Most of this sum ($161 million) will be used as additional funding to bring the program up to its full level of fund ing. The remainder ($180 million) will help correct its present deficit; the program was forced to dip into next year’s budget to help ends meet in 1975-76. You are cordially invited...

WiHiam Boyd. Formation of the committee was mandated by a faculty motion passed May 5. That motion called for the establishment of a commit tee to work with John Baldwin, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, in revamping the minority pro gram. Boyd’s committee will draw up plans to use the $239,000 made available to the school by the Legislature to provide programs for minority students. An interim program devised by Baldwin will operate until a new program is es tablished, probably not before January. Faculty members on the com mittee include Ed Coleman, English assistant professor, Joel McClure, physics professor, Fr ances Scott, verontology director, and Miriam Johnson, sociology assitant professor. Coleman has been chosen to act as chairer until the committee’s first meeting. Wil letta Wilson, wufistant liberal arts dean and AOP director, will also be on the committee. Minority representatives in clude Molly Brady, Frank Merrill, George Russell, Jose de la Pena, and Gary Kim. Nominations for membership were received from the faculty and ASUO committees on committees and from various minority rep resentatives of campus and state-wide groups. The Indian Higher Education Association, Inc., MEChA, Oregon state Chicano Condlio, Committee on the Black Agenda and Asian American Student Union made nominations for membership.
