Toiling of the Bells
It appears that Oregon is doomed to soon lose its title as a
refuge for “extra-sensitive individuals;” With the appearance of
such a modern mechanism as automatic “no turn” lights—
which still seem to require a great deal of vocal interpretation
—and the possibility of chimes sounding out from the Student
Union, a gay neurotic future can be foreseen. '
It happened at the University of Colorado, according to the
Associated Collegiate Press, where one student, irked by the
ringing of carillon bells, sued the board of regents for $1,000
for “mental damages.”
Despite the testimony of friends who said he had become ill
tempered since the bells began to ring and a university psycho
logist who said “prolonged stimulation could have such ef
fects,” the student lost his case before, the campus moot court.
He charged, “The noxious bells . . . distract me while I work,
.disturb ray work schedule, and have caused me great mental
and emotional damage.” One day, he said, upon hearing the
’ bells he tore up a report which had taken him several hours to
compile. A chiming rendition of “Hold That Tiger,” he rated as
hitting a new low on his disagreeable experiences list.
The jury termed him an “extra sensitive individual.”
At the University of California at Berkeley, the carillon ob
ligingly played “Don’t Fence Me In” for one alum as a request
to his wife.
But mild disagreement over what is proper chime material
seemed to be the only result. The “extra-sensitive individuals”
had apparently made their escape long ago.
And, Oregon will see a change—something more dynamic
than blinking lights. Gone will be the memories of a stilled cam
pus and the “extra-sensitive individuals” who have tottered
around for years will vanish. Oregon will lie seeped in tradition
~-a chorus of “P.Sv, I Love You,” please.—(P.G.).
New Dance Group

rCondon Lectures

Senate Tax Action
To the editor:
The recent editorial by A1 Karr
regarding Senate action on the
proposed income tax deductions
gave the impression that the AS*
UO senate was quite confused
over the whole issue and acted
hastily in endorsing a proposal
to contact Oregon Congressmen.
Unfortunately, this is all very
true. However, we think it ap
propriate to point out the rea
son for the action.
Senate procedure is such
that senators are often asked
to report on issues and these
reports often form the sole ba
sis for senate action, particu
larly on technical Issues which
the average person would have
little knowledge of, as was the
case in the tax matter.
In the course of garthering our
information from experts for
senate presentation a misunder
standing resulted over the 18 yr.
age limit. We were unaware of
this and it was passed on to the
senate in our report. With this
report as the basis, the senate
made its decision and it was not
until Mr. Karr’s enlightening
editorial that the issue was made
clear. In the interests of main
taining the dignity and respect
of the ASUO senate we feel that
we should admit responsibility
for this misrepresentation of
facts.
