For UO Students Rating Form Alterations Ordered University of Oregon President Arthur Flemming laid down rules Thursday that are expected to take the subjectivity out of student rating forms. The rating forms issue has run hot and cold on the campus ince April of 1961 when Gayle Osburn, then a dormitory coun selor, criticized in the student newspaper personality rating forms she was required to fill out in her work. On the forms, dormitory counselors and housemothers were to rate student residents on such matters as personality char acteristics, emotional stability, and reaction to the opposite sex. After the flurry caused by Miss Osburn's complaint, acting University President William Jones announced that the forms would be eliminated from use. But only a few weeks ago the office of student affairs an nounced that the forms were still in use, that some revisions had been made in the rating forms for women students, but that no change was made in the men's forms. As a consequence President Flemming reactivited a faculty committee that investigated the forms a year before. The committee submitted new recommendations. Flemming announced Thursday that he has accepted these recommenda tions, and that they will henceforth be the restrictions within which any rating forms must be used. The recommendations are: That if the forms are necessary, they must be factual rather than subjective and should not include ratings of per sonality. That each student should be permitted to see the re port, and that dorm residents should be informed about the nature of the reports. That no check-system evaluations be employed. (Previ ously counselors had to select the best answer from a series of possible descriptions of the student for instance, "Personal Stability: a) occasionally loses self control, b) easily annoyed by little things, c) frequently loses self control, d) usually mature and stable, e) always stable.") That if the forms are used, they be only in the nature of factual statements under such broad heading as academic information, vocational information, cooperative living infor mation, and the like. That these recommendations apply to both men and women students. That the forms not be used for upperclass students (jun iors and seniors). And a crucial point that any such forms filled out be removed from the students' personal files not more than one year after they are submitted. The faculty committee recom mended a time limit of two years; Flemming shortened it to one year. The new rules do not say whether the student affairs office should use student rating forms at all. They merely outline the standards to which any forms used must conforirl.

Norblad Urges Import Quotas WASHINGTON W) Rep. Walter Norblad, R-Ore., has urged President Kennedy to place a quota on the volume of Canadian lumber imports. He told the President in a let ter that the American lumber industry is in serious trouble, even though the Departments of Agriculture, State and Com merce have worked to improve the situation. "Until these appropriate gov ernment agencies come to grips with the serious foreign compe tition problems." he wrote, ". . . it is imperative that you im mediately order a temporary quota on the flood of softwood lumber from Canada on a quar terly basis." He suggested the quota be 10 per cent of the national use of softwood lumber.

Reports on activi ties of the past year and the He's Parks Director Almost by Accident Jets Were His First Love By BOB NEWCOMB Of the Register-Guard The newly hired superintendent of the River Road Park and Recreation District, 23-year-old Noel Lesley, would now probably be flying an Air Force jet fighter if he had his way about it. And his decision last week to accept the superintendent's job was made just one day before he was offered the chance to become a training officer in the Peace Corps. "Oh, I'd love to go to Puerto Rico with the Peace Corps," Lesley reflected during an interview this week, "but this op portunity the chance to grow with the River Road district is too good to turn down." Lesley is being hired by the district at a salary of $5,250 a year to succeed Robert L. Wilder, who has resigned that position to become director of Parks and Recreation for the city of Grants Pass. For the past year Lesley has served as community center director for the Eugene Parks and Recrea tion Department. The job with the Peace Corps in Puerto Rico would have meant a larger salary and would have offered worthwhile ex perience, Lesley concedes, "but this opportunity to become superintendent is one not many men get at the age of 23." Lesley sees the superintendent's job as one in which he can help the district develop to meet the needs of the grow ing River Road area north of Eugene and at the same time gain technical experience in the field of park management as well as in recreation. Lesley graduated from the University of Oregon with a bachelor of science degree in the field of recreation manage ment. But it was almost an accident that he got into that field and only by happenstance that he's taking the River Road job instead of climbing into a jet. Throughout all of Lesley's college days, his only plan for the future was to enter the Air Force as a pilot. He was active in the Air Force ROTC program at the university, rising to the rank of wing commander the highest to be attained in the program. In his junior year ho was awarded the ROTC Distinguished Silver Medal for scholarship, dedica ,ion and enthusiasm. When he decided to major in recreation management at the start of his sophomore year, it was with the thought that there was a need in the Air Force for men trained in recrea tion. "1 knew I wouldn't be able to fly all the time and so why not prepare for a double role?" Lesley recalls. ' But in my senior year I developed an ulcer and was un able to pass the Air Force physical," Lesley says. "It was a real blow then." But as a result, the young UO graduate entered the rec reation field one day after graduating last June by taking a job as a community center director with the Eugene depart ment. Thus, almost unintentially he launched himself on a career in public recreation. While with the Eugene department, Lesley taught golf lessons, served as a playground leader and supervised the activities at all of the city's playgrounds and recreation cen ters. He worked with all age groups, "from pre-schoolers through the Golden Ago Club." Lesley acknowledges he's not of the cut of the "typical" recreation director, who has probably been a heavy partici pant in team athletics from high school through college. "Personally I enjoy the individual sports more archery, golf, tennis," he says. Since his grammar school days in Stay ton, where he also went through high school, Lesley has played golf. And today, one of his leading interests is in speedboat racing. He owns a 17-foot inboard racing boat, which he occasionally enters in races. "But I'm afraid I'll have to limit those activities now," he says. As superintendent of the River Road district, Lesley will be in charge of the district's total operation, most of which will center in the district swimming pool and recreation center at Emerald Park. He will supervise a staff of 11 persons. "Our purpose," he said, "will be to provide the best pos sible services to all the people in the district." mKMrtK: ws--c ?reW!f swe-te Oil NOEL LESLEY Cliance Too Good to Miss mVllali MOU guvs READY FOR A LITTLE RI6HT INSTRUCTION? m ( D0NT DO AS I DO-. ) 00 AS I SMI jii Fire Runs (Runs from noon day light Thursday through noon daylight Friday.)
