This action was taken at a meeting where the board re viewed a preliminary plan ning study of a possible fu ture University of 'Oregon, presented by Lawrence Lackey, urban design consult ant. His study was placed on file. The preliminary ideas pre sented by Lackey were sche matic in character and do not necessarily bear any relation to the final development of the campus.

Stephen Morris, Good Sa marita- hospital administra- tor, id the court action was taken to obtain an interpreta tion of Arizona laws as to the legality of an abortion under such circumstances. Legal Aspects Eyed Morris said the hospital in sisted on further medical and legal determination to see if care "should be and can be given to the woman." He said legal aspects of the case prompted the suit.
