Garfield Portland, Oregon 97211 Women protest Rose Festival Representatives of the Wo men Against Rose Festival Princess Selection Associa tion read statements opposing the use of Portland high schools in selecting princes ses. They said tie selection proce a wasdegradlng and had no educational value, the school d istrict did not permit students to vote on tie Issue, and the two other area citi zen advisory committees were spilt on the question. It was pointed out thatCleveland High School voted on the questlon- wlth 80 per cent of the stu dents in favor - and that prin cess selections had occurred without opposition In the high schools since 1930. A mem ber of the audience said le had been involved In past festival activities and found It very Your ticket to the big game: educational. A committee member said princess selec tion activities occurred after school hours, did not disrupt tie educational process, and drew capacity student and community crowds. Area 1 Superintendent W illard F le t cher warned against letting students make binding decis ions for the school d istrict. A committee resolution was suggested supporting the present school district policy, but was deferred until the next meeting (May 10 at Lincoln High School), at which time a committee memberpresented both pro and con statements on the issue. It was emphasized that the present debate would not affect selection of Rose Festival princessesduringthe present 1971-72 school year.
