“I got an ‘F’ in his lecture course, but he gave me an ‘A’ on my
knitting”
It Can Be Done
Oregon again has an “O"
in good condition, after Bob
Simpson, junior class repre
sentative and finance chair
man of Junior Weekend, got
some of his fraternity brothers
together to pour concrete and
-paint the Skinner’s Butte “O”.
This is the second time this
year that an individual has
taken charge of a project
'•which, vve-believe, might well
iiave been done by the ASUO
senate.
This time'it was Simpson,
a senator himself (and his
•house). Last time it was Dave
Todd, w ho lives in a millrace
"house, and who organized a
cleanup project and got the
"Eugene city manager to come
forth w ith a program for long
range action.
Tire senate naa a committee
on the millrace, but Todd had
"no connection With that group.
'His results (though they
haven’t solved the situation,
by any means) could have
i>een those of the committee,
with more aggressive work.
- So,'too, could have been the
rehabilitation of the “O”, dam
•aged "by an explosion last
spring. The senate had consid
ered this project, but felt that
the cost would be prohibitive
.of action.
Sinipson and. his mates, not
attempting as extensive an
f‘0” as the senate considered,
did the job at a cost of about
fen dollars. Technically, thef"
•result wasn’t perfect, but
it looks good from-the city of
Eugene.
- Now we don’t want to quib
ble about who gets the credit
Tor doing a job. The point is
That a more and aggressive at
titude on the part of the sen
ate would produce more re
sults on such matters. (Re the
“O”, half a loaf is better than
none.)
A corporate body like the
senate might not have the in
tense interest like Todd or _
Simpson, but that groups is
supposed to represent the stu
dents. 1 1 ■ ; i { '■ ■ .
Much criticism has been
leveled at the senate and stu
dent government this year,
part of it by the Emerald,
as not being worthwhile
enough, at least in prac
tice. These two incidents
are examples of what some
students have done in the ab
sence of real senate action.
The power of the senate is
limited by the areas controlled
by the faculty and/or the ad
ministration, obviously, but
initiative on the part of the
senate representing student
opinion can do a lot more than
ever has been done.
We hope that the newly
elected senate will see fit to
attend meetings, and to work
as hard as possible on as many
areas of potential senate ac
tions as possible. Election to
the senate is not just an honor;
it implies a responsibility.
The new senate can do
something to show that stu
dent government doesn’t have
to be the object of ridicule if it
will really work hard for stu
dent concern.—A.K.

Speaker Compares
(Continued from page one)
Richter, who called himself a
"wanderer between two worlds,”
said emphatically, "I am not a
German; though I was born Ger
man, I am an American."
Chased out of Germany by "Mr.
Hitler,” Richter became an Amer
ican citizen. He returned to Ger
many after the war because he felt
he could help in "re-educating the
German people,” but he still holds
his American citizenship.
“A highly gifted nation such as
Germany has a tremendous diffi
culty in the political, international
field,” Richter said, “But we are
now trying hard to change things.”
The prospect of restoration is a
Mg’ problem, according to Richter,
but with!' unification he hopes to
set the political field catch up with
the intellectual fields.

Responsibility for Micronesians
Realized by Few, Says Barnett
Homer Barnett, professor of an
thropology, stated in a Tuesday
night browsing room lecture that
“there are very few Americans
who are aware of their responsibil
ity to the Micronesians, 55,000 na
tives who inhabit the numerous
islands and coral reefs in the
South Pacific.”
The territory of Micronesia has
changed hands many times, he con
tinued, passing from Spanish, Ger
man and Japanese control to the
United States, which administers
the area under the auspices of the
United Nations.
The islands are a liability to the j
United States, Barnett remarked,
since we support public health, j
education and transportation,
ventures of the Micronesians, yet;
recejve no economic returns.
Other problems in governing the :
area arise from the fact that the
younger nations in the UN are;
watching our conduct in the region i
very closely, he said.
Barnett, who was recently em-;
ployed by the high commissioner
on Pilough, concluded by showing
colored slides he had taken during
his slay in Micronesia.
