Our Political Dilemma
! If {>ast action is anj* indica
tion of what the future holds,
we should have, at least, a
three ring political circus this
spring.
We’ve already seen two
rather large developments in
that area:
4 1. a four-house holt from
now -defunct USA to AGS;
2. the death of USA as a
name and the emergence of a
new political party, United
independent Students, which
is USA minus the four.
One of the most significant
things about this newly
■ named organization is its ac
ceptance of an exclusion
clause which says there'll he
no welcome mat out (as for
merly) for the unhappy greek
bouse \\ ith a candidate but no
track to run him on.
The reason for it. apparent
ly. is that UIS creators felt
this would bolster the faith of
no-party independents in an
organization which, by rule,
would be entirely indepen
dent. No more greeks bounc
ing in one year and out the
next to make it look (as USA
occasionally did) like Grand
Central station at high noon.
Well, one sid^has just as
much right to throw up har
riers as the other—and AGS
already has a two-year pen
alty period in which return
ing houses can't put up can
didate- for AGS or ASUO of
fice through that party. It
seems to us, however, that
there is nothing1 very good
about these exclusion clauses,
no matter who has them.
As it stands now. there’s
nothing between the two ex
tremes in our political spec
trum. You’re either a greek
or an independent politically,
^o we’re right back where we
started from. And as far as
we’re concerned, without a
coalition party of greeks and
independents, campus politics
has lost much of whatever
meaning it did have.
We’re supposed to be learn
ing how to live together and
get along. Rut this situation
can’t help but increase the
stupid, hitter friction which
exists between greeks and in
dependents. especially during
our political spring term. It
shouldn't be.
We go to class together,
cheer at games together, go
out together and by these and
other means learn that there
is no difference between one
who lives in a house and one
who lives in a dorm. None.
Absolutely none.
Yet we can't vote together
or work out what political
problems do exist—we don't
have a party any more. Grant
ed USA wasn’t much of a
greek-independent coalition,
but it was-a start.
There’s nothing left in the
middle any more. It’s a mis
erable situation and no credit
to us.
We Got the Word
"* The Oregon Daily Emer
ald, just like any college stu
dent, took an examination not
: sa long ago. We’re not too
proud of the results.
1 he Emerald, in competi
tion with 422 other college
and junior college new spapers
for all-American rating, came
out with a third class or “fair”
rating.
Our scorer tossed a few
bouquets—good sports page,
aggressive coverage of last
fall's political campaign, good
features—but w hen the points
were added up, the result was
painfully obvious. We’ve got
work to do.
It‘> fun to compete with
other papers for top honors,
and we’ve had more than our
share of them. Hut this time
we’ve come away with what
amounts to a good talking-to.
