Cl- f* 11/Continued from Page 1 lx; hack in school, although some expressed concern that classes under the strike situa tion would not be very valuable. “This is a waste of time. All we're going to do is busy work," said one Churchill senior. “Our activities are being hurt. School is a lot more than classes.” said another. Mayor Brian Obie welcomed students l>ack to school at an assembly in the school gymnasium. “Respect the people on the outside (the picketers)," Obie said. “They believe they’re do ing what’s right....We wish them the earliest opportunity to Ik? on the inside." Churchill Principal Charles Stolsig explained to students that the school would be in itiating a three-phase system in the school schedule. Phase I will consist of five 40-minute class periods daily. By Monday. Stolsig said the school will enter Phase II. and expand to six fiO-minute class periods and an expanded selection of classes. Phase III will constitute a return to pre-strike class schedules. At South Kugene High School, replacement teachers met with silence from striking teachers who formed a human corridor replacements passed through as they entered the building. No jeers or shouts, on ]y silent disapproval greeted tin* teachers. High school students entered the school without incident by 8:15 a m. when Principal Don Jackson started an informational assembly with what he called the South Eugene spirit. “We art? South Eugene,” rang out from students, teachers and ad ministrators as Jackson tried to buoy the spirits of everyone in side the building. Jackson said the show of en thusiasm was “the only thing that’s felt good in the last few weeks." and added, “lift? is like a horse — either you ride it. or it rides you.” Jackson told students that success at South Eugene in this * ‘ e m t? r g t* n c v c o n d i t i o n ” depended on their cooperation. He asked students to assist the substitutes in the classroom. “Whenever there's adversity, there’s opportunity." Jackson said. Administrators made an nouncements and answered questions about attendance, graduation requirements and canceled classes. Jackson said graduation will he held .is scheduled on June tit, followed by a party at the Elks Club. School officials said they hoped to have enough replace ment teachers by next week to extend the current half-day schedule to 3:15 p in. Jackson said they were shortest in social studies teachers and that the In ternational High School pro gram was canceled altogether. Jackson was given a round of applause by high school students when he said they would he late for their first period classes because of the assembly.

Each school has its own plan for courses and scheduling during the strike. Information on a particular school's program can be obtain ed by contacting the school principal. If a student's ability to graduate has been affected by the strike, the district will work with the student on an in dividual level to ensure gradua tion. ('olonna said.

Continued from Page 1 the central committee meeting Tuesday that Beam violated central committee bylaws when he passed out the leaflets on campus earlier this month. “1 believe truthfully that the reason 1 was not chosen as a precinct worker is because 1 am pro-choice, and the ultra conservative reactionaries who are controlling our party don’t like that,” Nichols said Wednesday. “I was aware of the takeover of the central committee by ultra-conservatives. I wanted to see if this was true, and 1 also wanted to be a precinct person because I wanted to voice my concerns as to how the basic bylaws and principles of the Open 24 Hours kinko's Great copies Great people 860 E. 13th 344-7894 party have been violated," she said.

The majority of Lane County’s Republican Party members aren’t aware of the ultra-conservative forces building up within the party, Nichols said. "I want them to know so they can do something about it," she said. (lushing said, “I am personal ly concerned .ihnut the future of tin; Republican Party in Lane County and in the state of Oregon; the pro-right, religious fundamentalists are taking over all precincts of the Republican Party in Oregon by denying m em be r s h i p to n o n - fundamentalists, and filling all positions with individuals who meet their narrow-minded, ultra-conservative guidelines. " Hob Pearson, central commit tee vice president and Virginia Pearson’s husband, said he is not aware of any Republicans being forced out of the party because of their ideologies.
