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.

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.
Eugene high schools are now
operating on a nine-week spring
term, rather than the normal
12-week term The district has
reduced graduation re
quirements from 230 credits to
220 as a result of the strike, ac
cording to Jerry ('olonna. direc

own plan for courses and
scheduling during the strike.
Information on a particular
school's program can be obtain

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.
"We're doing the best we can
under the circumstances." he
said. "Tin? program is not
perfect."

Mooney will meet with Olum
to discuss some concerns she
has about the budget, specifical
ly dealing with program sub
sidies. Last year some programs
did not get their subsidies on
time, and she wants to make
sure those groups get the money
at the beginning of the fiscal
year, she said.
“1 just want to make sure
nothing is bungled when I'm
not around," she said, as she

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

party have been violated," she
said.
Hut Virginia Pearson, a
member of the party, said de
vote on Nichols' candidacy,
22- 1H, was close.
"Some people did say after
the election, I do not agree with
the viewpoint of Tim and Lisa,
but 1 voted for them because 1
believe that we can profit from
other people’s opinions,' " 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.

was very talented and bright,
and the success of his projects
clearly demonstrated that he
