Hong Kong Hoax With an epidemic of the Hong Kong flu plaguing the nation, Eastern got into the act.

President Doudna President Quincy Doudna has seen both advances and setbacks in programs and finances this year. Some of the major issues that have been discussed on campus this year are a new look at Negro rights, the graduated tuition plan, the Carillon Tower, the turning of the Practical Arts Building, and the placement of a new dorm. President Doudna's work of 1968-1969 really began last May when Ernest Morris, a Negro graduate student from Chicago, sent a letter to the president stating that the Afro-American students felt the university had been negligent in fulfilling its moral obligation to them. The letter stated six suggestions that they wanted incorporated into university policy. These policies included integration of fraternities and sororities, recruitment of Negro students, total integration of offcampus student housing, Negro staff recruitment, financial aid for Negroes, and curriculum additions. President Doudna met with adminstrators, then set up a series of meetings with the Neg ro students to make adjustments in each area. In evaluating the meetings, President Doudna, who took much personal interest in trying to help these students, said he felt the meetings were extremely useful. He commended the students on their approach to the problem, saying he felt they presented their problem "with dignity and maturity" and thus reached some degree of mutual understanding. One of President Doudna's programs approved this year wi ll begin next fall on a four-year trial basis with a yearly review by the Board of Governors. This program calls for a graduated tuition plan w ith fall quarter students paying the h ighest fees and summer students the lowest. The purpose of the program is to balance enrollment throughout the year. President Doudna has two proposed programs that have aroused much discussion on campus. He would like to erect a Carillon Tower on the South Campus between the Applied ArtsEducation Center and Coleman Hall. The 80-foot tower would eventually be surrounded by a fountain. A dispute arose because the president wanted to use excess funds collected from student fees during past summer quarters. Some felt he should not control this money, suggesting that it should be controlled by the Apportionment Board. This program has now been postponed indefinitely because of student and faculty opposition. He also noted that the economic squeeze placed on the university this spring had curtailed various projects, and that the construction of the tower at this t ime would be "mis understood ." The other controversial program is President Doudna's p lan to turn the Practical Arts B uild ing around so it will face east-west. Some members of the Board of Governors have urged that the building be remodeled and turned to line up with B lair Hall. President Doudna investigated the proposal and found it feasible. He then asked for state f unds for the project, which were granted. The plan includes a new unobstruct ed basement for the Data Processing Center. Still another controversy came when real estate developer John Young objected to the building of an 800-bed dormitory on the south edge of t he campus near h is Heritage Woods subdiv is ion. Lt. Governor Paul Simon investigated the s ituation and found that the university and the Board of Governors had dealt w ith the matter in good faith. The dormitory is to be completed by fall of 1970. Although there were several controversies on campus , the year was run fairly smoothly as compared to other university campuses.
