KU Works To Solve Auto Problem With Rules Students Help Enforce Oregon school officials are con cerned about the effects of stu dent driving-and this concern is mirrored in the administration of Klamath Union High School. . The state-wide problem is re ported in the September issue of the Oregon School Study Council Bulletin, published by the Uni versity of Oregon School of Edu cation. The survey, involving 159 high schools of varying size in the state, was conducted by Rob ert E. Skippen Jr. and John W. Kohl, both graduate students in education at the university. "A 1 1 h o u g h an overwhelming majority of school officials felt automobiles did constitute a problem in high schools, many of them acknowledged that they did tolerate practices which tend to promote student use of auto-' mobiles . . ." the report said. Klamath Union Dean of Men Dwight French said student driv ing "definitely" produces academ ic and social problems locally, but there isn't an active campaign to discourage the practice. State-wide, the university re port said, ''No organized group has supported a program aimed at protecting students from prac tices, apparently harmful, in con nection with student use of auto mobiles." At Klamath Union, student use of autos is regulated, in part, by the students themselves. Students are urged to park their autos in a special parking lot and are is r sued stickers for that purpose. In 'the lot, the cars are protected from theft and damage and their iute can be regulated. Students I are prohibited from driving their . cars during school hours and once the cars are parked in the lot they cannot be removed until school is over for the day. To minimize the hazards of the driving itself, school officials have sought the closure of Wall Street during the hours when students are active. The street runs from Esplanade to the school and is open only to emergency vehicles, except during the evening and early morning hours. Furthermore, the loss of driving privileges is used as a discipli nary measure at Klamath Un ion. The restriction of the use of autos and the regarding of their use as a privilege is a common practice among Oregon high schools, the university research ers reported. Forty-five per cent of the schools surveyed reported that their school boards like Klamath Union have formulated policies concerning the uses of cars, al though these policies vary greatly One-quarter of the schools have student councils regulate driving again like JU. In schools where there are strict regulations on the use of autos it was found, officials have re-i sorted to strict disciplinary meas ures to gain their compliance. 'In some schools, violators of the regulations are banned from use of their cars. Conferences with parents and, in extreme cases suspension and expulsion are also used to enforce compliance. The more serious punishments are more often used by the larger schools. It was found that academic dif ficulties were most often listed as a serious consequence of student driving by small high schools.

All schools mentioned their concern over speed and reckless driving. Survey findings revealed that more seniors drive to school than any other class, and more stu dents in larger schools drive than do those in either small or me diunvsized schools. In fact, medium-sized schools are at the bot tom of the list in percentage of student drivers. Only 23 per cent of the schools responding to the survey reported that they actively discourage stu dents from driving to school. Some schools encourage student driving as an alternative to pro viding school buses, and 1 1 schools actually reimburse students for driving, ,in lieu of providing other transportation. It was found that the smaller the school, the sooner students begin driving some of them even dur ing their freshman years. Medium and large schools arc more involved in campaigns to solve the driving problem and are seeking the aid of parents. Programs involving parents have reported "good results.

LUCKY LANES - Ph. 2-5536 3319 So. 6th PORTLAND (UPI) A sweep ing move by administration offi cials at Portland State College here Thursday suspended all six national sororities on campus on charges of racial discrimination. The ban was ordered by PSC President Branford Millar after a series of discussions between col lege officials and sorority rep resentatives did not remove what Millar termed "serious doubt of the absence of discrimination on the basis of color" in rush and pledge activities. Suspended were local chapters of the national sororities Alpha Chi Ometfa, Alpha Omicron Pi Aloha Phi. Delta Delta Delta, Delta Zcta, and Pi Beta I'm Millar said the doubt resulted from the "complete rejection by all sororities at the college of two eminently tiualified Negro appli cants" during rushing which had been underway to select new members. Millar said he intends to ap- noint a faculty committee to re view the future status of the sor nrilips hut cannot see now how the doubt can be "satisfactorily esolvcd. The sororities have been on the campus since 1960. The President said the chanters were reminded of a rule against discrimination two years ago when a Negro girl was rejected. Rushing for this year's members had just started Sunday. The twol Neuro eirls were invited to some lof the first rushing parties Mon day evening but were droppea Dy Thursday. A joint statement by the sorori ties said the school's action was, "in effect an ultimatum to all of the sororities to admit one or both girls mentioned to membership To yield to this pressure elimin ates all freedom of choice." None of the fraternities on the campus was affected by Thurs day's action. TAMPA. Fla. (UPIl - Coast Guardsmen in a helicopter plucked two. men from a make shift raft in the Gulf of Mexico Thursday and then watched in horror as a pack of sharks fought over the body of the wife of one of the rescued men. Kenneth Crosby, 32, and James! Dumas, 27, were recuperating in a hospital here today. Dumas' wife, Ann, 27, had died on the raft before tlie helicopter ar rived. The rescue marked the end of two days and nights in the wind whipped Gulf after a 38-foot fish ing boat went down with the Du mas' and Crosby aboard. The two men were picked up about 80 miles west of here. "When we first spotted the raft, lie i Dumas) was holding onto Crosby and the body of his wife, said Cmdr. Martin Flesh, pilot of tne helicopter. "But he told us later that he just couldn't hold on any longer, rlosli said the helicopter cir cled the area to come in for a landing and Mrs. Dumas' body .was anoui loo yards away from the rait in a mass of sharks. About all you could see were fins," he said, and "a flurry of foam and blood. The Coast Guard said Mrs. Du mas was seven months pregnant She died Wednesday night on the raft. When the two men were brought here, Crosby was deliri ous from drinking salt water the day before, and Dumas was weak from exposure to sun and high waves. Flesh said Dumas told him that the fishing boat Ev-Ann went down Tuesday night between 9 and 9:30 p.m., after hitting something or being hit by something in the dark. The makeshift raft on which the three were floating appeared to be the inverted siding of a deckhouse. Flesh said.
