Trip to Salem
Incites Various
Speculations
By Helen Jackson
Today’s question “Do you ap- j
prove of the pilgrimage to Salem
as suggested in the Monday edi
tion of the Emerald?” needed no
little explanation to most of those
interviewed.
What the Emerald did was pro
pose a plan whereby students could
be dismissed from classes one day
to attend a meeting of Oregon’s
46th Legislature. The purpose, of
course, to see rather than to read
about state government. Oregon
students had this to say:
Bruce Mitchell—freshman in lib
eral arts—“It would be fine.
'Course there is the merry trip up
and back and besides it would be
nice to get acquainted with the
capitol building. You would be
able to see the Democratic and
Republican factions in action—
mostly Republican though.”
Barbara Douglass—senior in
psychology—-“I’d say yes with
careful organization but it would
have to be well planned.”
Keith Stewart—freshman in busi
ness—“A very good idea. I’ve nev
er understood the legislative pro
cedure before and I’d like to see
how it works. I think experience
is always the best teacher.”
Dawn Wood—freshman in physi
cal education—“The one reason I
wouldn’t approve is because too
many students would take advant
age of the free day to go all over
town. Guess I’ll go home and read
the editorial now.”
Pat Ritchie—freshman in crea
tive writing—“Yes, I definitely do.
We can learn so much more by
watching and besides so many stu
dents don’t read about government
anyway.”
Max Kendig—ffeshman in liberal
arts—“It would give the students
an opportunity to see the legisla
ture and to see how it is run. I,
myself, don't know much about it
and it would give me an opportun
ity to see how they come to some
of the conclusions they do!”
Avis Jones—freshman in speech
and radio—“Yes, it would be much
more impressive to see our state
government in action, and it makes
for greater respect on the part of
students.”
