Soapbox & Selection
Worthai and Prof. Snarf didn’t make it today. There just wasn’t
enough room for them. In their place you’ll find statements by three
candidates for ASUO president. They'll be voted upon tomorrow in
the UIS party primary.
Don Collin
The next ASUO president must carry forward and guide a completed program of action
for the student body. To accomplish this he must have experience and background.
During my two years in student government I have witnessed many problems that will
-- <*eed continuity of leadership if They are to be completed in the ensuing year. Last year
ehere were such problems as the Mill Race Park and Honor Code. Continual cooperation
tween students, administration and City of Eugene will make a park area available for
Students and future Junior Weekends.
The Honor Code is still academically infeasible. The establishment of the file of Tests in
the library is a help for the students and Honor Code. When the purposes are obtainable
*-4ts complete student administrative control will be a boon to student government.
Next year Emerald finances and regional organization will be problems facing student
government. Unfortunately, the financial crises of the Emerald will not have eliminated
dtself by next year. With my two years on the Emerald, I could give closer cooperation
end better understanding to the problem.
Next year I would favor a new NW regional conference of schools that would permit
««nore students to attend and gain experience and ideas to apply to our government.
In addition, the president has the big public relations job of putting across student gov
ernment. It is student government through its appointed representatives that carries out
■-». «nany of the student functions of this campus and the cooperative ventures with the faculty
•nd administration.
Den Schmidt
I. as a prospective degree holder, wish to see Oregon pass OSC in total enrollment.
Wor the first time in many years we are in sight of this goal, a goal which would make us
the foremost school in the state in quantity as well as quality. It would mean more ap
- g>ropriations for a better staff and buildings, and better all around prestige for every degree
• '■'♦older.
The next few years can make a tremendous difference to very degree holder’s status.
Eight now many things favor us in this struggle for students. But still we have one major
»»g>roblem. We lack cooperation in the deferred living program. I personally favor it because
f belive it will bring students closer together and make for a better adjusted individual,
thus adding to intraschool spirit.
Bad publicity is not the way to go at it. This especially has a bad effect upon the better
•tudents who have been looking far in advance for a good school to attend.
As for student government I believe we should give as much as we can efficiently handle.
However, I do not believe it is something that can be forced upon individuals who do not
•wish to govern themselves. For instance: I would like to see all intermediate domitories
that wish to govern themselves without a counselor be given that chance. I believe the
choice af whether to have a house mother should be left up to individual halls. If any hail
«Joes not want one. it should not be forced upon that minority group even if the majority
of the I.D.C. should vote in favor of such a plan. ..
And I definitely favor an all-campus primary.
Tom Shepherd
“To hell with student government!” How often have Oregon students heard that com
ment? Pretty often, I’d say. And why? Primarily because student government is like Will
Hogers once said about national politics, “a lot of talk, but not much go.”
I realize I’m selling student government at Oregon short—our ASUO Senate has done
«oaie very constructive things this year—but I want to get my point across. What do you.
-just you. yourself—get from student government? Are you satisfied? Do you think it can
4>e more effective? I do.
How? First, the administration should give the Senate some real influence and power
•4 figurehead group can’t adequately function. Second, until the non-Greek students take
an active part in student government it will continue to be just a “playground” for a few
-interested students. Third, cut out the campus “deadwood”—the stupid “busywork” that
too often repels qualified students from taking an active part in University extra curricular
• ♦(fairs.
Until these conditions are met, a gradual honor code can never be effective, student em
--j»*oyees wilL continue to receive low wages, and the Emerald will continue to come out at
Just a word to the independent students who will vote Wednesday. Remember the biggest
■enemy of UIS is not AGS but independent apathy. Make your voice heard—help put
ctadent government on its feet—vote in tomorrow’s election for the most qualified candi
dates. Make student government mean something!
And there you have it. Three statements by three candidates for
ASUO number 1.
Any one of the three, we think, could do the job. But only one of the
three is, to our way of thinking, really capable of doing a good job
-—Don Collin. Whether Mr. Collin appreciates the favor of whatever
support we can muster for him is perhaps debatable. Emerald support
of political candidates has often been likened to the kiss of death.
Our primary job is, of course, to inform. And for that reason we
fiave first offered these three statements, allowing each man to speak
for himself. Our own selection of Collin, however, stems not so much
from what has been said as what we know personally of the three.
All have proven themselves interested in student government. Shep
jherd and Collin have perhaps been the more active. But three men, all
sitting on the ASUO senate, are not necessarily equal in their capa
bilities just because they participate in the same activity.
Collin shows us^not only a deep interest and understanding of the
^government we have here . . . but also a very realistic attitude toward
it. We have not always agreed with his viewpoint (in fact rather vio
lently disagreed with him last year over the Honor Code) but we
are not looking for a man who agrees with us so much as one who
' lias well-founded ideas of his own . . . who can argue for his side in
telligently, who can appraise a situation with a mature and ex
perienced eye.
UIS voters Wednesday, with whatever consideration they make,
ought also to be thinking in terms of the man who the greatest num
ber of students, both Greek and independent, would respect, would be
willing to support and would be unashamed of as their most important
representative. Among the three UIS candidates, the one who comes
closest to filling that bill, by what we consider to be a pretty wide
•margin, is Collin. J.H.
