Actor-Producer Labor Dispute to
Snap Off Broadway's Bright Lights?
New York-flJPIl- Broadway's
fabled footlights are flicker
ing and by tonight the world's
theatrical center was expected
to be in darkness because of
a labor dispute between actors
and producers.
The lights of one show went
out last night and only an
eleventh-hour settlement of a
bitter contract dispute today
could prevent the first Broad
way blackout in 41 years.
Although bargaining talks
were scheduled to continue
today between representatives
of Broadway producers nd
actors, prospects for an agree
ment by nightfall Wf" ex
tremely poor.
A union-ordered walkout of
the cast of the hit comedy,
"The Tenth Man," an hour
before curtain time Wednes
day night served as the switch
that is expected to darken all
22 Broadway theaters this
evening. The League of New
York Theaters, which repre
sents both producers and
theater owners, immediately
notified casts of all shows
that all performances' tonight
would be cancelled in reprisal
against Wednesday's cast
walkout.

The request heads the list

Services Opposed
Portland -rlUPD- Elimination
of health services in Portland
Public Schools drew the ire
of city Health Officer Dr.
Thomas L. Meador here Wed
nesday. '
The elimination would go
into effect July 1 with the

. Meador told the community
council that the new budget,
slashed $1,700,000 was "short
sighted" and said he didn't
know how a city the size of
Portland could eliminate

He said the school board
would have to set up an alter

more than the present cooper

Johnson Off and
Running, But No
Announcement
Washington -. HOT.'- Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B,
Johnson is out of the presi
dential starting gate and run
ning with tne sure-iootedness
of a Texas quarter horse.
But after a six-state West
ern campaign swing, Johnson
still is withholding an an
nouncement of his candidacy.
There is at least a good
chance he will say nothing
formally about being a candi
date until . just before the
Democratic convention opens
in Los Angeles on July 11
if then.

CrlanM Lifted
During his absence, his
presidential hopes were given
a lift by two developments.
One was a full-page adver
tisement carried in 18 major
newspapers across the count)
try, urging Johnson to "be
come an active candidate for
the nomination." '
The other was an editorial
endorsement by the Scripps
Howard newspapers, whose
19 editors joined in calling
him the "ablest and strongest
Democrat available" for the
presidency. ' -
Johnson is known to feel
that the delegate claims of the
Democratic presidential
front-runner," Sen. John F.

what inflated.

New Feature in
(JSC's Superior
Student Program
Corvallis - An important
new feature has been added
to the Oregon State .college
superior student progranVthat
permits exceptionally able
student to go "faster and far
ther" in college work.
Beginning this coming year,
the advanced placement pro
gram of the national College
Entrance Examination board
will be used at OSC. This pro
gram permits high school sen
iors who pass the special ex
aminations to be placed in ad
vanced classes in some depart
ments and permits them to
get college credit for college-
level work now offered in
some high schools.
Plans to enlarge the super
ior student program and to
expand the honors degree pro
gram in scieije to include
some GO new freshmen were
announced by President A. L.
Strand.
School of Science Program '
The school of science hon
ors program is a part of the
superior student plan. Under
it, students do extra work
such as special readings, re
search and seminars, and take
some special classes through
out their college careers. At
graduation, they will receive
diplomas that indicate honors
in their specific science field.
This year, 41 freshmen and
22 sophomores have made up
the first honors degree group.
Sandra K. Buxton and David
L. Gifford, sophomores from
Medford, were selected.
To be eligible for the hon
ors program, a freshman must
have ranked near the ton of
his or her graduating class and
must have the recommenda
tion of the high school princi
pal or science teacher.
If the extra study load of
the honors program proves
too demanding, students may
withdraw from the program
at any time and resume nor
mal course schedules. At the
same time, provisions are
made for students who show
exceptional ability to be add
ed to the program during the
year.
Other Phase
Other phases of the super
ior student program that was
organized by the OSC faculty
include:
Honors sections in many de
partments. "
Credit by examination for
college students who believe
they already have sufficient
knowledge of a course and
who can pass an examination
covering the subject matter.
Waiver by examination of
some required courses if the
student demonstrates grasp of
the subject matter.
Special advising and coun
seling for those who have tak
en accelerated or enriched
programs in high school will
be available. This is arranged
by the dean of the school in
which the - student is regis
tered and is in addition to
regular adviser service pro
vided every student,
Provisions of the superior
student program are outlined
in a pamphlet available on re
quest from the office of the
registrar at OSC.
