J School Building Awaits Capitol OK
A. resolution urging the Oregon
legislature to authorize immediate
construction of “the necessary new
building for the school of journal
ism at the University of Oregon"
has been submitted by the Oregon
State Broadcasters association.
The resolution stated in part
that the proposed new journalism
building has first priority among
State Board of Higher Education
projects, with final plans already
prepared so construction can start
immediately.
The “inadequate journalism fa
cilities" and the ranking of the
Oregon school—“one of the few ac
credited schools in the nation"—
were also cited by the broadcasters
as reasons for immediate construc
tion.

WHAT PRICE/KENAUYAKSAIT ?
1« For hundreds of years the coast of
Baffin Island in Northern Canada has been
an Eskimo home and hunting ground. The
Baffin Island Eskimos were known through
out the North for their skill as seal hunters
and fishermen. They lived on raw seal meat
and raw fish. Their existence, while primi
tive, was a happy one.
2. Eight years ago tlic Cana
dian government vet up a
tem of family allowance under
which the Baffin Inland l\~kimos
received $f> a month for each
cinid as urn an oincr Canadi
an-. These allowances, called *'kenauyak
sait by t lie Kskiinos, repre-ented more
money than most of them had e\er seen at
one time.
3* To the Eskimos, their new-found weal I’d
meant they didn’t have to hunt seals or
patch fish any more. Most of them left their
hunting and fishing grounds and moved in
close to the trading posts where they re
ceived their monthly handouts and could
buy the niceties of civilization.
4. The Eskimws' new life was soft and
easy—for they had complete security. Hut
because they no longer needed to provide
for themselves they lost all vigor and dm
lit ion. As a result, the government is now
trying to get them to move away from the
trading posts and start producing or forfeit
their allowances. But this
is next to impossible to ac
complish. For the Eskimos
have grown to depend on
their security so much
. that they have no desire
! to return to their former
9 life of freedom and indc~
pendence.
5* Tho important point of the story is
this: enslavement by security isn’t some
thing that happens only to Eskimos. In fact,
millions of people all over the world see
nothing wrong with a welfare society. But
welfare plans are like dope. The doses are
small and pleasant at first, but they eventu
ally enslave us. For that reason, we Ameri
cans must maintain our self-reliance, our
productivity and our freedom. For these
things, after all, are responsible for Ameri
ca’s greatness.
