Brudos 7, estiry Unhappy With Urged To Work Leaders SALEM. (AP) The 7-year-old daughter of Ralphene BrudoS will be called to testify against her mother, who is on trial in Marion County Circuit Court on a charge, of first-degree murder. Whether the girl actually will testify has not been decided by the presiding judge, Douglas Hay. Marion County Juvenile Court Judge Joseph B. Felton ruled today that it is in the interest of society that Theresa Brudos be allowed to be called to testify.

Hen mother's trial began its second day today with the selection of the 12-member jury. Mrs. Brudos, 25, is accused of helping her husband, Jerome Henry, strangle Karen Elena Sprinker, 19, Salem, to death on March 27 at the Brudos home in Salem. Jerome Henry Brudos is serving three consecutive life sentences in the Oregon State Penitentiary for the slayings of Miss Sprinker and two other women. Theresa Brudos' attorney, Terry Haen-ny had said he "would do everything in my power to keep Theresa from being called to the witness stand." He contended the.

experience would be detrimental to the girl's future. He filed a motion Monday in juvenile court asking Felton to intervene, but Felton denied the motion this morning. Even though the girl has been subpoenaed to testify by Marion County Dist, Atty. Gary Gortmaker, the trial judge has the final word on whether she is competent to testify. He probably will determine that as the trial A.

Theresa appeared in August before the Grand, Jury which later indicted Mrs. Brudos on the murder charge. Felton. said he has the authority "to prevent this child from being called as a witness," but since there was no definite finding that she would be harmed by testifying, he decided not to step in. He said that society, has an interest in the case.

Felton asked, after the hearing, that' the girl remain in seclusion before she is. brought into the courtroom, probably sometime next week. He asked that no pictures be taken of Theresa by news photographers while s'ie is waiting to testify. The last juror was chosen at 10:15 a.m. today.

After a recess, Mrs. Brudos' court-appointed attorneys, Charles D. Burt and Richard A. Seideman, began arguing a motion they filed last week asking the court to suppress evidence. They say that 1,991 items taken from the Brudos home should not be admitted as evidence in the case because the material was taken by law-enforcement officials without proper search authority.

Burt also said this morning that he has "some other matters to take up" before the opening statements are made. ml 5 U) PRICE 10 CENTS With By JEAN ANDERSON Some 3,000 new Oregon State University students were advised last night to work "with not against the administration" to earn a voice and vote in university decision-making. Associated Students of OSU President Harold Britton "University students across the United States have proven to us that disruptive dissent will not earn us this voice." I And Acting President Roy A. Young rated the problem of student relations as meriting the greatest He said, "Good progress has been made during the past year to achieve more nartininatinn hv stnrients in university governance and I trust that the groundwork has been laid for continued achievement during the coming year." Both Presidents Young and Britton referred to the joint Student-Faculty Senate now under consideration. Meanwhile, -the executive committee of the associated students governing body and the executive committee of the Faculty Senate will have regular meetings.

Britton said that the dissent and direct confrontation of the past few years has served it. the faults of the system which have formerly been accepted at the university. But, -he said, "disruption has done little or nothing for student causes except to bring repressive measures from nervous administrators and state governors. VOL. 62, NO.

122 CORVALLIS, OREGON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1 969 nrife uuuu "It is not likely that faculty or administrators of OSU will give in to 'non-negotiable' demands if backed into a corner. We need a way to solve the problems that are pointed out by the vocal minority." Britton also sees student involvement in the community as a means of insuring that decision-making will be in the best interests of the entire community; which, in the case Corvallisj includes the students. This year the ASOSU will have a student on the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Britton further, said, "I also hope to place some sort of student voice on the Corvallis City Council."

$67,000 Gift EUGENE (AP) President Robert Clark of the University of Oregon has released $67,000 in student fees to the Associated Students of the University of Oregon, but student leaders said today it was not enough. The money released by Clark included $40,000 from a fond over which he had discretion and $27,000 from a gym suit and towel reserve that had not been used. Students had asked that they get more than $100,000 for a number of activities including an ombudsman, a visiting professor, and ethnic studies. Leaders said today that the I $67,000 would do little more than allow them to restore some cuts made by the administration in the proposed student budget for speakers, debates and related activities. Last spring the student senate asked that students' incidental fees given to the athletic department be cut sharply.

About a quarter of a million dollars, roughly 20, per cent of student fees, goes to the athletic department. Students proposed that this be cut to $100,000 with the rest going to student academic programs. 3 Men Held In Holdup SALEM (AP) Three men are in the Marion County jail facing charges of assault and robbery with a dangerous weapon in connection with a holdup Monday of a North Salem Plaid Pantry market.

(AP) Classes For Retarded Eyed By Linn iixon noiea ms aecuaion on the 300-passenger airliner came after a "spirited debate within the Opponents of the project have argued it is impractical, too expensive and too noisy. Nixon asked $06 million this year In new funds from Congress in addition to $99 million in unused carryover appropriations for the SST program.

This would rise to $314 million in fiscal 1971, then progressively fall to $189 million in fiscal 1972, $48 million in fiscal 1973 and $15 million in fiscal 1974. To meet a major objection from some opponents, Secretary of Transportation John A. Volpe said the SST would not be allowed to fly over population areas until the noise factor comes within acceptable limits. Volpe said government investment in the SST would total $394 million of the approximately $1.4 billion needed to build two prototype aircraft by 1972. The first test flights are scheduled for late 1972, with commercial use expected by 1978.
