Approved by Board
Eugene The state board
of higher education has ap
proved the modification of
the campus boundaries of the
University of Oregon to be
along 18th ave. on the south
and Villard st. to 14th si. on
the cast.
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.
In his progress report,
Lackey wrote that his study
was "by no means compre
hensive, as there are many
questions raised by long
range development planning
yet to be studied."
The study showed the pos
sible location of several fu
ture buildings, but It was
pointed out that these illus
trations were tiscd merely to
show the general criteria and
density of structure which fu
ture buildings might assume.

Anchorage, Alaska -IUPII- A

day 13 forest fires were still
burning in the state but that
all were under control.
The spokesman credited
heavy rains in the past 18
hours with being the crucial
factor in slowing the fires. He
said fire crews were taking
advantage of the we' weather
to begin mop-up operations.
Nine of the fires still smoul
dering were in Western Alas
ka where the blazes destroyed
a total of 21,150 acres in six
days.
The other four fires were
located in the northern interior.

Couple Files Suit
Tft i Yvr i:,,
Of Pending Abortion
Phoenix. Ariz.-Jl'PH-Mcdical
authorities today awaited ac
tion on a suit to determine
the legality of an abortion
recommended for an expec-
ant mother who took tranqui -
lizers that doctors fear might
deform her unborn child
Plaintiffs in the Superior
Court suit were Mr. and Mrs.
Robert W. Finkbine and Good
Samaritan hospital.
The abortion, recommended
for Mrs. Finkbine, a promi
nent Phoenix television per
sonality who is hostess for
the "Romper Room" daily
children's show, was held in
abeyance while legal clarifi
cation and determination of
tne medical need for the op
eration was sought.
Definition Bought
Named defendants in the
suit were the Arizona attor
ney general and the Maricopa
county attorney. The suit
challenges the legality of the
Arizona abortion laws and
seeks to obtain an exact defi
nition of these statutes.
The operation was recom
mended after a drug the
woman took, thalidomide,
was found to cause deformi
ties in children. Mrs. Fink
bine, the mother of four chil
dren, took a tranquilizer con
taining the substance early in
her pregnancy the most dan
gerous time, according to
doctors.
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.
"Under the proper medical
recommendations," said Mor
ris, "and if it is within the

Mrs. Finkbine obtained the

; band who got them for her in 1
Europe. They were removed :
from the European market !
when it was determined they j
caused deformities in chil- j
dren.
:j Beet Sugar Rail
Rate Cut Opposed
Denver - HPli - An eastern
sugar executive told an Inter -
stale Commerce hearing!
Wednesday there is no justifi-;
cation for reducing rail rates ;
for western beet sugar ship-''
ped into the central states. '
V. K. Raymond of the Na-;
tional Sugar Refining Co.,!
New York, made the state-1
menl.
Raymond said his company
never had opposed reductions
in rail rates from competitive
points of origin when such re-!
ductions could properly be
justified. !
But he said in this case, '
Western sugar producers were
trying to gel a rail reduction ;
which could not be justified j
by geographic features.
The lower rates once were
approved, effective last Feb
ruary, but the ICC suspended
