shows that the University reflects this problem with an
attitude of indifference towards ethnic students, as
opposed to friendliness or hostility, he says
"Of course these things are considered in a black
student’s decision on a college," he says
Of the 37,059 Oregon blacks, 27,734 reside in
Portland, according to figures of the Oregon Population
Studies Research Center
With the Council on Minority Education recruiting
mainly out-of-state, the Black Student Union will be
traveling to the Portland high schools to direct students
to the University After a close vote in the IFC the BSU
received $320 to finance their first two trips
Financial aid forms will be shown and clarified,
important dates and deadlines will be explained, and
admission forms will be handed out to those interested,
according to Vincson Green, president of the BSU
"The problem is that Eugene has never been
black-oriented Culturally and socially it is just not
attractive to blacks," he says More involvement in
student government, more black leaders in the com
munity, and more black entertainment are needed,
Green says
"You can get any white entertainer to Eugene, but
black entertainers pass right over us, from Los Angeles
to Seattle "
Representatives will give names of professors and
other black students to see upon arrival on campus If
we can draw a bond with them before they get here and
let them know we care," Green says, "then when they
arrive they'll feel at home We’ll have a bigger union, a
bigger closeness, and a bigger say on campus "
The University does not set goals for future black
enrollment, according to Gary Kim But if they did. he
wouldn’t expect an increase
"We will be very lucky just to hang on to the
numbers we’ve got," he says
Vets group battles apathy
By RICHARD BURR
Of th* Emerald
Unless active membership increases, the
University Veterans Association may become an
extinct organization by the end of the year
Although the organization in its peak years had
six to 10 actively involved veterans, it is now a
one-man operation, director Dave Isenberg says
"There's a new group of veterans on campus
and they're not as motivated," Isenberg says
"I'm not going to babysit them I've already done
that by keeping this group on campus," he says.
Isenberg, who has been the UVA director for just
more than a year, says veterans feel they have been
"screwed over" by the U S government and now
don't want to get involved with government-spon
sored organizations
Isenberg also takes a relaxed attitude toward
recruiting new members.
"I don't want to beg for new members I'm not
going to pressure people into joining "
Veterans who attend the University have a
variety of reasons for not joining UVA, ranging from a
wariness about the organization itself to a feeling
that other responsibilities take priority
Larry Keller, a business graduate student says
veterans simply have too much else to do
They have families, they have to work, and they
have mellowed out," Keller says
But another reason veterans do not get involved
with the UVA is because it is too radical, he says.
"Isenberg is taking this organization in his own
direction, for his own purposes," he says "I
witnessed some demonstrations in the sixties and
seventies and they don’t work.”
Isenberg insists that the UVA should focus on
the possibility of impending war and the draft
"This is the one issue where we have a voice of
legitimacy because we've been through war,” he
says. "They (veterans) almost have an obligation to
do it.”
"The UVA should present a positive, favorable
image of veterans to the University community and
the community at large by nonpolitical oriented
activities," Wellsfry says
"Veterans also need to know what is going on in
benefits As of Oct. 1 there have been six major
changes in benefits that the University veteran is
probably not aware of," he says
Some veterans say the UVA should concentrate
on other issues The UVA should reflect the
respresentation of veterans on campus better and
should advise veterans more, Keller says
The UVA still has the potential to be an effective
poltical voice on campus, Riley says
"They’re an activist group, a damn good activist
group. I think there’s a cause for the UVA to work for
if they got off their butts ”
A newsletter will be distributed at the beginning
of winter term explaining the situation now facing the
UVA, Isenberg says. Veterans will be asked to decide
if the UVA is needed, and if so, will be asked to
participate to keep the organization alive
"I won’t feel sorry if the UVA does vanish
because it would be injurious for students to fund a
group that isn't doing much," Isenberg says.

Duffy’s new management proudly announces that
Tuesday night at Duffy’s will now officially be known as:
MEN'S NIGHT
/ •
That’s right, not Ladies’ night,
but, Men’s Night
You see, Duffy’s believes that women with taste really don’t
appreciate the leering men and token discounts that characterize
Ladies’ nights. So we’re giving men giant 60 oz. pitchers of
Pabst for just $2 dollars that are big enough to fill their favorite
ladies’ glass 6 times. Now, ladies love that. But, that’s not all,
we’ve got live music, too, featuring John Powell and
Alan Reinoehl, of the Ron Lloyd Band.
Come tip a glass to the ladies at
Duffy’s original Men’s Night, every Tuesday.
