for pioneer jungle colonies

Stewart recently returned
from Ecuador where he
spent nine months seeking
out and interviewing col

the Andean highlands to
the edge of t h e Amazon
jungle.

Sandoz Organizes
Sandoz Hall has organized
an AWS Pilot Court which
will assume power in Oc
tober. The court is a take
off on the present AWS Ju
dicial Court which holds
the power to pass decisions
on cases regarding AWS
rule violations, appeals, and
special cases.
Susie Sitorious, vice-president
in charge of judicial
matters for AWS, said that
this program is being tested
to find a way to de-centralize
the judicial power of
AWS.
She also said that if the
Sandoz court proves ef
fective, the program may
be expanded. In the future,
Rodeo Club Joins Association
A merger of the Univer
sity Rodeo Club with the
National Intercollegiate Ro
deo Association last spring
has become effective this
fall, according to Tom Cun
ningham, club president.
The decision by the club,
which includes about 100
students is not binding to
the members as individu
als. Cunningham explained.
NIRA membership
makes it possible for Rodeo
Club members to compete
on a district and national
basis in NIRA-sanctioned
rodeos. Cunningham said.

should begin a centralized
effort to recruit more hon
ors students and to improve
and expand honors pro
grams under the direction
of a coordinator, according
to the University-wide Hon
ors Committee.
The committee, appoint
ed in 1966 and headed by
Dr. C. Gray Austin, assis
tant dean of the College of
Arts and Science, recom
mended the plan for the
1967-68 academic year.
The Austin Committee
noted that it wants to de
velop a five-year plan for
honors programs with
the possibility of an Honors
College.
Until the current question
of reorganization of the col
leges within the university
is resolved, development of
an extended plan would be
premature, the committee
said.
Wide Honors Basis
All colleges have come
kind of honors program, but
they are contained solely
within each college and
there is no coordination on
a university-wide basis.
Dean Austin said. The com
mittee and Dean Austin be
lieve the university - wide
approach through a central
office would focus more
attention on honors and
boost development.
The coordinator would
help the college by serving
in part as a communicator
of what is good in programs
of each college at Ohio
State and in other univer
sities. His office also would
be a source for research
materials.
As part of the plan to
step up recruitment of top
students, the committee rec
ommends publication of a
single brochure outlining

Spanish-Indian descent com
prised the largest group
of colonists.
What motivates these
people to sever home ties
and move to an entirely
new environment?
AGRICULTURE
Stewart stated that it is
almost impossible for the
Andean highlands to ade
quately meet the agri
cultural needs of the rap
idly expanding population.
"As the population in
creases in Latin America,
per capita food consump
tion declines," added Ste
wart. The people of the Andes
are now subject to inten
separate courts may be
held in each of the resident
halls and one may function
for all sorority cases.
The charter of the Sandoz
Hall AWS Pilot Court states
that the pilot court shall
serve in the capacity of the
present AWS Judicial Court.
It will be invested with the
power to make decisions
covering violations of AWS
rules as outlined in the
AWS Handbook.
Seven women will serve
on the court. The ASRA
vice-president from Sandoz
Hall will serve as chair
man of the court. Other
members will include: two

the demand for honors sec

The new program would
include plans for stepping

nation concerning courses,

the registrar office.
The committee wants to
establish guidelines for new

ommendations for the modi

in agricultural production,
he said.
SLUMS
As a result, people mi
grate to cities, where their
economic plight forces them
to become slum-dwellers.
Stewart said that the indus
trial revolution has not oc
curred fast enough to pro
vide jobs for the incoming
population.
Consequently, some of the
people from the Andean
highlands of Ecuador have
chosed to start new lives
as agricultural pioneers in

"This new affiliation will
give us a greater opportun
ity for national recogni
tion." Cunningham said.
The club membership in
volves $30 in yearly dues
to NIRA. Individual mem
bers are required to pay
$26 per year in dues and
insurance, Cunningham
said.
Club members who do
not wish to join NIRA may
participate in the "home"
rodeo sponsored each April
in Lincoln for a $5 entry
fee, in addition to the us
ual $15 entry fee for men's
events and $10 for most
girls events, he continued.
STOCK APPROVED
Under NIRA regulations,
one more event is added to
rodeo competition, Boys
Ribbon Roping.
The association must also
approve the stock contractor
used at all NIRA rodeos. It
is anticipated, however, that
approval would be granted for
Art Fritcher, Iowa contractor
who has furnished stock for
the NU rodeo for several
years, to continue in the fu
ture, Cunningham said.
Thai Radio
Now Gives
U.S. Line
Sakhol Nakorn, Thailand
(UPD It used to be that the
only radio stations you could
hear in this part of the coun
try came from Hanoi and Pe
ing, but the United States
has fixed that.
A 50,000-watt transmitter
has been installed here at
Sakhol Nakorn. It was turned
over to the Thai national se
curity command by Norman
B. Hannah, the deputy chief
of the U.S. Mission, last
month.
Another transmitter 20
timet at powerful me mil
lion watts is going np far
ther south, near Bangkok.
In an area where the num
ber of radio receivers hag
roughly doubled since 1964,
this could be an important
step forward in efforts to
reach the peasants in this
300 air miles northeast of
Bangkok.
Whether it will work out
(hat way depends on the ex
tent to which American ad
visers are able to encourage
the Thais to make effective
use of this new propaganda
tool.
The new station, dubbed
simply "909" (for King
BhumiboL ninth in the Chakri
dynasty, and Buddhist y e a r
2509), is as big and powerful
as clear channel American !
stations. , .
The station is being run by
the Security Command with
the advice and counsel of Lou
Steed, 47, of Honolulu, a U.S.
Information Service broadcaster.

ASUN Plans
Tax Structure)
For Budget

Future funding of ASUN
"will move into a tax-like
structure," President Dick
Schulze told the Senate
meeting Wednesday in pre
senting this year's proposed
budget.
He said the Senate will
discuss the budget item-by-item
next week. The budget
utilizes a new fund-raising
approach in expanding pro
posed appropriations from
$3,600 to $9,600.
In past years ASUN has
"solely budgeted by pro
gram," Schulze explained.
Appropriations for each pro
gram had to be approved
by a faculty committee and
assessed as a part of stu
dent fees.
FEES EARMARKED
This year 30 cents from
each student's fees will be
earmarked for ASUN pro
grams. "Thus our revenue
procurement is very simil
ar to a tax." Schulze said.
"If ASUN feels it needs
more revenue it can adjust
this 30 cents per student al
lotment in the future," he
added.
- Schulze said if such al
terations in the "tax" are
needed in coming years,
they should be approved by

From Amazonian Researc
the trek, Stewart occasion
ally met a colonist who
would offer to guide him to
a settlemnet. Home base
for supplies was Puyo, a
community in northcentral
Ecuador. Because roads
were scarce, and travel by
horseback over the hilly,
muddy terrain was consid
ered extremely dangerous,
Stewart covered many
miles on foot.
DISTRUST
He revealed that one half
of the colonists he inter
viewed were illiterate. The
professor found their gen
eral attitude towards him
in the beginning was one of
distrust. He said the
a general referendum vote
of the student body.
SECRETARY NEW
Among the major in
creases proposed for this
year's budget are appropri
ations for a secretarial sal
ary, executive salaries,
elections and new pro
grams. The executive salaries
are an innovation approved
by last year's Senate. Un
der the new arrangement
the president will receive
$500 annually and each of
the vice presidents will be
paid $400.
Schulze also proposed that
$1,000 be spent to compu
terize this year's ASUN and
Homecoming Elections.
ACCOUNTS NEW
Allocations for a full-time
secretary were necessitated
by the conversion of ASUN
to an "expense account" op
eration. The secretary will
receive a salary of "$1,700
annually.
Several proposed proj
ects, including the Model
United Nations session
slated for December, ac
counted for $850 of the pro
posed expenditures.
The Senate must also pay
over $1,000 in debts incurred
in recent years, Schulze
noted.

the. tropical climate does
not require elaborate hous
ing, but he questioned the
success of the settlements
when he met colonists who
had been living in the huts

The problem, according
to the professor, is a need
for the colonists to work
out their difficulties ration

ing provide the basis of
survival for the colonists.

IFC Discusses Wildcat Rush
Fraternity rush programs
were the main topic of dis
cussion at the first Inter
fraternity Council meeting
Wednesday evening.
IFC reported that 593 men
pledged during rush week
this year. That figure in
cludes 176 who were taken
during the summer in the
newly initiated wildcat rush
program.
Jerry Olson, IFC treasur
er, noted that the number
of men who went through
rush week and did not
pledge constituted the
smallest percentage of par
ticipants in the last five
years.
PERCENTAGE UP
"T h e percentage of
pledges is 10 more than
last year," Gene Hohensee,
president of IFC, added.
Hohensee said in an inter
view after the meeting that
he felt the improvement
was due to several factors.
"I think it's a combina
tion of wildcat rush, IFC's
summer orientation pro
gram, which was carried
out in conjunction with the
University summer orienta
tion program, and the
changing environment of
fraternities," he said.
Hohensee said he felt that
fraternities rushed more
vigorously last summer be
cause of wildcat rush.
'TIME SHORT'
Wildcat rush was dis
cussed during most of the
meeting. IFC Rush Chair
man John Pershing said
that some fraternity rush
chairmen felt that there was
not enough time in the sum
mer to conduct wildcat rush.
"They had to rush for wild
cat pledging and after that
they had to start all over
and rush for rush week."
Charles Langhoff added
that wildcat rush cost the
houses more money. He al
so felt that wild cat was un
fair to the rushee.

wildcat rush was unfair to
the rushee citing the fact
that only one wildcat pledge
had depledged. He added
that he thought it was ben
eficial to fraternities since
it reduced the pressure to
