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.

while large schools most often
mentioned social problems. 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.

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.
