.Student Court's Stand
Emerald Editor:
Much has been written about
the Farris-Student Court dispute
which has now overflowed into
the Eugene Register-Guard. Va
rious speculations are that the
attacking law student is having
fun, is a publicity hound, or that
lie is deadly serious (his own
public contention). An incident
at Wednesday night’s court
meeting may have been reveal
ing.
One of the court members
called Farris’s attention to the
old style post card notice of
■ violation which this year’s
court Junked because if Its text
which in effect said, “You set
tle your traffic ticket right
away, or else!” The court (and
. its advisors) felt that the new
. card (which Farris call* “ex
tortion”) would be less offen
sive to the personal dignity of
. the individual student receiv
ing such a notice, and was
-more in keeping with the de
sired positive and constructive
approach to the whole campus
parking problem.
“How would you have liked to
have received this card?” Far
ris was asked..
His answer was that the old
card was “legal.”
This appears to me to pret
ty much sum up this brilliant
law student’s approach to hu
- man problems. HI* apparent

criteria Is “letter of the law”
and go ahead and insult (while
protesting impersonality) the
efforts and dignity of all other
persons who seek to solve hu
man problems on a less mech
anical basis.
It may be that certain techni
cal features of the present stu
dent court operation are not le
gal. I join with Farris in desir
ing an opinion by the Attorney
General (which neither he nor I
may directly request).
But there is no question in my
mind as to the desirability of the
ends which the court seeks. Any
person who criticizes the means
being used has an obligation to
point out the alternatives, partic
ularly when the evil which would
result from the use of nomeans at
all would be heater than any
harm which may be occurring
under present means. This is not
Farris’s approach. His is the
comparatively easy task of at
tempting complete destruction of
a part of student government
and of university disciplinary
machinery without ever once
having answered the question,
“How do you propose that park
ing discourtesies should be hand
led?” This is the ancient story
of “I demand my rights, and ac
cept no responsibilities.”
It Is not surprising, there
fore, that the members of the
'court, who have looked to their
responsibilities first, and who
have consciously worked to
preserve the individual dignity
of all persons appearing before
the court, have become highly
disgusted with showman Far
ris.
It would be a mistake for any
lon) tetaoineto pre-hav -ma- co
one (including the administra
tion) to underestimate Farris’s
legal ability and tenacity; the
greatest mistake in estimation,
however, (in my personal opin
ion) is being made by Farris
himself in his appraisal of his
net value to society.
