Travis H. - The distant school offers me an advan tageous bargain. My union will pay the tuition, and I'll cover only room and board. The year will go fast and Flora will find it well worth the sacrifice. I'll be In iine for big corporation jobs. The boys are in school all day, and busy with their friends the rest of the time. We have a rumpus room in the base ment with ping-pong and miss it forever. These are your golden days as "a father of men. Having their Dad around, even if he's cram ming for an exam, gives your sons an intimate link with the masculine gender, suggests a proud kinship among "the men In the family." . . . . Flora is wise to object to this flaw in your plans. Your boys will never be as receptive or hero-worshiping toward you as now, between 10 and 14. Failures in male sex-role-acceptance and in marriage have often been traced to faulty father -son relation ships. Become an engineer, yes, but your Maj6r course now is Father to adolescent boys.

New Constitution Seen Vote of Confidence in Present System Editor's note: The Houte is scheduled to act Monday on what soma coniider in session's gr.nl.il challenge: A proposed naw constitu tion. It both pr.i.rv.s in past and looks to the future. This is the third in a terioi, .. By ANN H. PEARSON Salem - IUPD - The proposed constitution's treatment of the legislative branch is, in cf feet, a vote of confidence In the system that has evolved over the past century. Unlike its treatment of the executive branch, where it looks to the new, the docu ment ratifies the legislative branch pretty much as it is. The new constitution does, however, rely more on the legislature to implement its provisions than the present one. The Constitutional Revision Commission proposed two main changes in the legislative branch: Annual sessions in stead of one every two years, and an apportionment plan to bring representation in the legislature even closer to "one man, one vote." To B Decided The House and Senate Com' mittees on Constitutional Re vision decided to make annual sessions optional. Future legis latures will be able to decide whether to meet yearly. f I A.

And the House committee, in a departure from its Sen ate counterpart, decided to stick with Oregon's present apportionment plan, still con sidered the nearest to "one man, one vote" in the nation. If the document gets the two-thirds vote it needs to pass the House, the apportionment differences with the Senate will have to be ironed out. The Senate committee has chosen a plan not too far from the present one, but allowing a slightly larger House and Senate. On the legislature in Ken eral, the commission said it should be "effective, responsi ble, visible." The legislative committees, which have been revising the commission's draft, agreed with this goal, even though rejecting the commission's more extreme recommenda tions. Consant Calendar Provided For example, with an eye to efficiency at some future date when Oregon has more legisla tive business, the House com mittee added a provision for consent calendar to speed action on non-controver s i a 1 bills. And in a constitution that is supposed to give a "frame work for the future," lan guage was reworded that leg islative voting might some day be recorded by machine. Like the rest of the new constitution, language in the legislative article is simplified and some procedural details are transferred into the laws. While the proposed consti tution does not make many changes in the legislative branch, it does look to the legislature with new emphaiis in another way. The new document basical ly does four things: Makes substantive changes, sheds the obsolete, retains the time tested, and shifts many pro cedural details to the statutes. Thus it will be up to the legislature to implement the new constitution. The Jocu ment provides a framework. Within that, it gives the legis lature the flexibility to react to changing times.

Rockefeller of New York appears to be sticking to his "no comment" replies to questions from newsmen on whether he plans to marry Mrs. Margaretta (Happy) Fit ler Murphy. At a news conference Tues day, the governor parried several questions about his personal plans for the future and finally cut them off with: "Can't we change to a more productive line of question ing?" Opinions were varied as to the effect of remarriage on the governor's political future. Fred A. Young, newly elect ed chairman of the New York state Republican party, said he did not think it would af fect the governor. "If it's a solid marriage. what is wrong with it?" Young said. Concerning personal plans all newsmen could get from the governor was that he planned to go to Brussels sometime after May 31 to help open a European branch of the New York state com merce department. He said he was not going in May which has been re ported without confirmation to be the month when he is planning to marry the rec ently divorced Mrs. Murphy.
