Oregon Party Set-up
Object of Criticism
.me siate oi uregon in particu
lar, as well as the nation as a
whole, now operates strictly on a
"one-party system, due to the
dominance of money in political
campaigns,” according to State
Senator Richard L. Neuberger,
speaking on campus in several
class sessions.
The voting public is "sold dom
inant candidates just like soap, or
any other commodity,” said the
senator, “through political propa
ganda that drowns the other can
didates.”
Neuberger blames the reason for
the amount of money spent by the
Republican party in campaigning
on the fact that the Republicans
are more susceptible to influence
from special interests, using the
specific example of power com
panies.
Speaking on this issue here in
Eugene, Neuberger addressed the
Lane County Hell’s Canyon asso
ciation Friday night on the sub
ject of power policies, talking
against the McKay policies.
Neuberger stressed his point of
the influence money has in cam
paigns many times, saying at one
point that "advertising agencies,

figuratively speaking, run politi
cal campaigns in the United
States.” He expressed the belief
that if there were less money to
spend on campaigning the candi
dates would be forced to hold bet
ter, “more personal” campaigns.
"I do not favor socialized medi
cine,” the senator said in answer
to a student question following his
address. When questioned further
about the so-called trends toward
socialization that it was a part of,
he merely said that “such social
ism charges are unfair.” He ex
pressed sympathy with the pro
gram of government operation of
large power companies, however.
Neuberger was asked about Ex
Governor McKay's activities in
Washington, and commented that
“McKay is acting the same on na
tional issues as he did here in Ore
gon, but he's in a bigger league
now.”
‘The Republicans have gotten
away with many things, here in
Oregon, that should have been po
litical suicide but weren’t,” he add
ed in answer to a student’s view
of Republican policies in this state.
Summarizing his views of the
one-party control, the senator con
cluded his address by stating that
“any party completely in power,
without investigation or opposi
tion, becomes indifferent to re
sponsibilities, and is controlled by
special interests.”

President's Job
Stays Vacant
The Saturday morning meeting
of the State Board of Higher Ed
ucation proved indecisive, at least
as far as the public is concerned,
upon the selection of a new pres
ident for the University. Victor P.
Morris, acting president of the
University, and Hoyt Trowbridge,
chairman of the faculty advisory
council, were both interviewed
shortly by the board.
Both Morris and Trowbridge
have already filed written state
ments with the board containing
the views of the groups which they
represent toward the three men
being considered for the presi
dency.
If the board reached any deci
sion, it was not made public. Pre
sumably there are three possibili
ties arising from the meeting:
first, that the board and the fac
ulty groups prefer the same man,
making it possible for the board
to offer him the presidency and
announce his appointment at the
Oct. 27 board meeting.
. Other possible actions would re
sult if the person selected rejects
the job. Should another of the
three men interviewed be accept
able, he vould also be offered the
job. If the second man is not ac
ceptable to the board or faculty
groups or if he rejects the posi
tion, the board could call for more
interviews.
The board announced earlier
that no decision upon the three
candidates, whose names have not
been disclosed, would be made be
fore the next regular board meet
ing, Oct. 27.
