Problems, Policy
Of Econ Discussed
There are two classes of prob
lems in economic policy, said Frank
H. Knight Tuesday in a coffee
hour forum in the Dad’s lounge of
the Student Union.
The first class, said Knight, pro
fessor of economics at the Univer
sity of Chicago, “are the problems
that aren’t problems at all.” "You
can’t curse the politicians for be
ing politicians,” he remarked.
“The problems that are unan
swerable” are the second class,
Knight declared. These are the
things we can do nothing about,
he said. “Money tends to flow the
way people are acting. If people
expect a rising price level they will
react in a way to make the level
rise,,” he continued.
Knight emphatically declared
that there should be “no price fix
ing.” The arbitrary way of fixing
rents and prices is absurd, he said.
OF THE WHOLE, FOR THE WHOLE
Collin Outlines UI5 Party Platform
"We are a part of the whole and
we must offer something for that
whole," Don Collin, United Inde
pendent Student nominee for
ASUO president, said Tuesday in
presenting the party’s platform.
The platform can be divided into
three parts, Collin said. The parts
are direct benefits for students,
raising the academic climate of
Oregon and better student govern
ment. The party planks are as
follows:
Planks Announced
1. The foreign student program
as it stands now is inadequate. It
Bhould be improved with a full
time foreign student adviser.
2. The ASUO and athletic de
partment must cooperate in prod
ding the administration into build
ing a new football stadium. Un
' less this is done, the seats lost by
the students on the student side
will become a permanent matter,
not temporary.
3. The students, led by the
ASUO, should demonstrate to the
administration that there is stu
dent interest in the creation of a
millraee park. The administration
■ is in favor, but needs to be shown
student interest.
4. The ASUO should investigate
the possibility of higher wages for
students working on campus. TJ»3
administiation should be shown
that higher wages will be beneficial
both to the students and the uni
versity.
5. Help sessions should be held
by all departments on campus. At
present it is done regularly in the
business school and -mathematics
department. This will help raise
the academic standards at Oreg
gon.
6. UIS is in favor of establish
ing a campus literary magazine,
not a humor magazine, however,
7. There should be a referendum
among freshmen women to deter
mine if they want, and could use,
another library night. At present
they are limited to one night, but
if they can use two, and want
two nights, they should have them.
8. Student Affairs committee
should be more responsive and con
ducive to student needs. At present
many students are unhappy about
the elimination of two major all
campus dances and the refusal to
recognize the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People.
9. The UIS party favoi? the for
mation of a Northwest Regional
Conference of universities for ex
change of Ideas for better student
government.
10. UIS is opposed to faculty
loyalty oaths in any form.
11. UIS favors fall term rush
ing for men.
1. UIS favors an all-campus
nrimary which will allow students
democracy in choosing their pafty
candidates.
Duties Outlined
After presenting the platform,
Collin outlined what he felt the
ASUO president should do while
in office. The president should
work to bring student government
back in to the respect of the en
tire school, Collin said. To do this,
he proposed that the president im
prove public relations, make use
of the ASUO cabinet and bring
the issues of student government
back to the students in a series
of informal meetings throughout
the year.
He also pointed out that one of
the big problems facing the next
student body president was the
lack of continuity on the senate.
Collin attributed this to the large
number of seniors in the group
and to the fact that freshmen
class officers do not follow through
in student government after their
freshman year.
Previous to the presentation of
the platform, H. T. Koplin, in
structor in economics, gave a short
talk to those attending the UIS
kick-off banquet. In his talk, he
raised two fundamental questions
which he felt the party must
answer. The questions were “How
can the independents win?” and
“Why should they win?”
He called the “how?” question
the easiest to answer and said
that the group must remember
that they are not trying to convert
all students, but that “the party
only wants their vote.” This can
be done, he continued, by asking
people to do specific things. He
warned that a political party can
not survive on faith alone, but
must have organization.
The fundamental question which
must be answered under the sec
ond query, Koplin stated, was
“what does the group have to offer
the University?” This is the “only
possible motive” for the party’s
winning, he emphasized.
Knight to Discuss
Economics Today
“Human Nature and Free So
ciety” will be discussed by Frank
Knight, professor of economics
from the University of Chicago,
tonight at 7:30 in the Browsing
room of the Student Union.
The economist will meet with
representatives from seven Ore
gon colleges at a seminar spon
sored by the University econom
ics department this afternoon.
He will wind up his three-day
visit on the campus at a lunch
eon with faculty members to
morrow in the SU.
