Chavis Edg es Lafferty
Union Vice-chairmanship
Goes To Bohhe Berry
By RODNEY SMITH
BEN CHAVIS
BOBBE BERRY
In one of the closest Union
elections on the books, Ben Chavis
edged John Lafferty for 1968-
1969 Union Chairman and Miss
Bobbe Berry defeated Miss Vicki
Crosland for the vice-chairman-
ship.
The campaigns, which were
highlighted by speeches in the
Union cafeteria on Wednesday,
Legislature Revokes Annual
Funds In Picture Dispute
came to a close Friday afternoon
with the closing of the polls at
4:30 p.m. The vote count by Joe
McCorkle and his Election Com
mittee, under the auspices of rep
resentatives of each candidate,
required nearly two hours.
The climax of the election ar
rived when the vote count was
made official. The results were
as follows: Ben Chavis, elected
chairman with 287 votes (51.7%)
over John Lafferty with 268 votes.
In an unprecedented action, the
Student Legislature voted (19-6)
to pass a motion proposed by
representatives of the senior class
to suspend payments of funds on
the publication of this year’s an
nual.
The motion grew out of apparent
senior class discontent with
Rogues ’n Rascals editor Candy
Kimbrell’s plans to consolidate
the class sections into one large
alphabetical listing with class
standing designated by each name.
The seniors desire separate
sections and slightly larger pic
tures of the senior class mem-
bers.
The motion, presented at the
March 11 meeting, was worded
as follows: “We move that the
Student Legislature suspend all
further payments on the 1967-68
yearbook until such time as the
editor of the yearbook and senior
"lass representatives reach a
^ Tsfactory agreement upon the
legitimate and reasonable request
of the senior class concerning
the separation of class pictures
by class standing, i.e., senior,
junior, sophomore, or freshman,
and further, that both the publisher
and the business office be notified
by the secretary of the Student
Legislature that payments have
been suspended.’’ A friendly
amendment changed the wording
from “editor of the yearbook and
senior class representatives” to
“editor of the yearbook and senior,
junior, sophomore, and freshman
class representatives.”
The senior representatives
were unhappy with the results re
ceived when they first presented
their desires to the Publications
Board on March 7. At that time.
Miss Kimbrell explained that she
would readily comply with the
wishes expressed by the senior
class representatives if time would
allow. She further explained that
the deadline for the first material
be turned into the publisher
(of which class section had been
prepared as a part) was March
9, the following Saturday. Because
of the pressure of time involved.
Miss Kimbrell said that she would

Miss Bobbe Berry elected vice-
chairman with 282 votes 52,4%)
over Miss Vicki Crosland with
252 votes.
Miss Libby Kimbqll unofficially
elected secretary as a write-in
candidate with 113 votes, pending
verification by the Election Com
mittee.
Mrs. Marilou Ingram elec^
treasurer with 451 votes (99.1%),
unopposed.
The newly elected Mr. Chavis
beamed, “I am very happy and
proud of being elect^ as (Chair
man of the University Union.”
He continued, “I can truly say
it was a student effort that won
and not just the candidate’s ef
fort.”
“Optimistically,” he craicluded,
“I am looking ahead for a very
lucrative program of activities
for the University Union next year.
Together with the members of the
Program Board we will start im
mediately planning for next year’s
activities.”
Miss Berry stated that she was
overjoyed at the news of her vic
tory.
“I will get with Ben as soon as
possible and Pm sure we can work
together effectively for a more
active and attractive University
Union program for’68-’69,” stated

‘‘New Morality” Topic
Of Kirkendall Lecture
and
at
enjoy it!
Dr. Lester A. Kirkendall, pro
fessor of family life education
at Oregon State University and
an international authority on family
life, sex, and marriage, vrill add
ress the student body here today
at 11:30 a.m. in the Parquet Room
of the Union.
He will explore, in his lecture
on “The New Morality”, some of
the vital moral questions of the
day. He deals with subjects of
fundamental interest to college
and university students, matters
which in other generations were
not openly discussed.
Dr. Kirkendall’s lectures pro
vide a constructive insight that
has proven to be helpful and mean
ingful to his student audiences.
Because of his pre-eminence in
these fields of family life, sex,
and marriage, he now serves as a
counselor to counselors, and as
adviser to deans, principals, and
other administrators.
His graduate degrees were taken
at Columbia University. He has
had an active career as educa
tor, consultant, and author. His
published works include eight full
length books and eighteen chap
ters of treatises in books of spe
cial studies.

last Wednesday in the Parquet
Room.
“Vietnam is nothing more than
a dumping ground for defensive
weapons of the United States,”
Mr. Reid Stubbs declared to the
audience of students and faculty.
He cited the facts thatthe United
States has less than three regular
army divisions still inside the
states and that our armories have
been stripped of their weaponry
as reason for this statement.
In Cuba, he told the audience,
eighteen hundred Castro troops
took the surrender of 30,000 regu
lar Cuban troops, he said that
this illustrated the fact that in
regard to enemies the important
things to know are where they
are and who they are—not how
many there are.
“The John Birch Society has
concerned itself for the past nine
years with finding who they are
and where they are,” Mr. Stubbs
commented, “and for that it has
been roundly smeared.” He de-
cribed the Birch group as an
“edicational organization.”
He informed the audience that
the “most dangerous communists
are here at home.” According to
Mr. Stubbs, these communists find
a weak point in the social struc
ture of the countries they wish
to influence and “hammer away
at it.” In the social structure of
the United States, the weak point
has been the division of theNegroes
and the whites according to Mr.
Stubbs.
He described six steps in what
termed the “Vietnamese
Waltz” which ar methods used
by liberals to accomplish what
he called a “return to feudalism.”
These steps told of a situation in
which the hard earned cash of
American mothers and fathers is
taxed and in the final analysis
is used in the manufacture of
arms for use by Russian “proxy
troops” (the Vietnamese and the
Viet Cong) to kill the sons of
these same American mothers and
fathers.
Mr. Stubbs urged that “All in
terested in the future of this Uni
versity, city, sate, and nation
should delineate who the real
enemy is.”
