Senate Screening OK
The ASUO senate hasn’t had a chance to accomplish much
this year. They’ve been too busy interviewing candidates to fill
vacancies. In the last two meetings of the student governing
body a total of almost four hours was spent screening and vot
ing on candiates.
This begins to be a bit ridiculous. Of course, the number of
senate vacancies this year has been far above normal, and prob
ably will never happen again. But if it should, must we go
through this comic-opera type of procedure?
We’ve heard students say that the senate has only one
function—filling their own vacancies. This may or may not
be true. We haven’t had much opportunity to see what this
year’s senate could accomplish.
Something definitely should be done and the best proposal
we’ve heard yet is Senator Bob Summers’ idea of a screening
committee that would operate if five or more persons petitioned
-for a committee chairmanship or senate vacancy.
The committee would consist of four members—two from
each of the campus political parties. At the beginning of each
-year names of all the UIS senate members would be drawn
from a hat and placed on a list in the order drawn. A similar
list would be made for AGS members.
Each time the committee was needed, two members would
be chosen from each list, beginning at the top and progressing
downward—no senator would serve again until the rest of
bis party members had.
The screening committee would then submit a minimum of
two and not more than three names to the senate. Regular pro*
cedure for filling vacancies and chairmanships would then be
jf oil owed.
. . In case ffie-four-man committee reached a deadlock over a
-"particular petitioner the ASUO president would vote.
We think the idea is a good one.
However, the student body president could conceivably
have control over the decisions, and in a hotly contested bat
tle along party lines this could seriously effect control of the
senate. This would seem to be the major objection to Sum
- mers’ proposal.
But it’s the best solution we’ve heard to a problem which
idoes need solving. We hope the senate gives the matter seri
ous consideration tonight. (J.W.)
Change of Face?
Identification wasn’t necessary at the Washington State bas
ketball games Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
Has the'policy of the University athletic department changed
•ithat much since the Oregon State game Saturday evening? Or
is this another illustration of a lack of definite policy in handl
ing admittance to games under University student athletic
cards.
At the Oregon State game, Mac court was packed to ca
pacity and some 1500 spectators were turned away. At the
same time, every University student entering the game had
to provide additional identification, along with his athletic
card and student body card, to get into the game.
During the Washington State series, 5200 spectators saw the
game Tuesday night in a pavilion which was far from being fill
ed. No identification was requested and athletic cards were
honored without any questions.
The present situation makes us wonder if there is any moral
-issue involved or if the whole technique is to make more space
-available for sale of general admission tickets for a big game.
If students can’t lend cards for Oregon State games, then
tvhy not the same check-up on every athletic event on campus?
We repeat: we don’t like this type of treatment on general
principle. Such identification check-ups are taking the nega
tive approach and assuming that all students are guilty of
v leding cards until they can prove they are who their cards
~ Say they are.
. T Athletic cards are non-transferrable and we’re not arguing
"that point. But let’s institute an over-all policy which will check
violators without walking on the entire University student
body.
Some schools print the student’s picture on his athletic card.
Then, in one quick glance, identification can be established and
the card honored. We advocate that policy to solve Oregon’s
difficulty in handling student admission to home games.
Room For Suspicion
Letters to the Editor
A Great Man
Emerald Editor:
The University of Oregon and
particularly the students of this
University will lose a great man
at the end of this school year.
That man is Dick Williams, who
helped bring our Student Union
SU Perpetuation
(Continued from Page One)
affairs, had indicated no imme
diate objections to the change on
Jan. 13. He did point out, how
ever, the fact that the ASUO by
laws should be amended if the
change were made.
At the last meeting of the AS
UO senate, the group went on
record as opposing the new plan.
DuShane appeared at the last
board meeting and objected to the
proposal on the grounds that it
would make the board practically
self-perpetuating.
DuShane proposed that the
board act as an intermediary
committee to pass upon the joint
committee’s recommendation be
fore it is submitted to the Uni
versity president for his approval.
He emphasized that the “reten
tion of ASUO in the machinery is
the important thing.1*’
The executive committee report
regarding the proposed changes
was filed with Victor P. Morris,
acting president of the Univer
sity, last week, Berwick said. No
further action on the perpetua
tion plan is contemplated until
the arrival of the sew University
president.
In other action, the board an
nounced the selection of Robert
Hamill, graduate student in
speech, to the graduate school po
sition on the board.
Students and faculty members
attending the Mt. Angel Gregor
ian choir will pay a special rate
of 50 cents. All others will pay
85 cents, Donna Shaffer, qpecial
attractions chairman, annoaheed.

.building and its program to the
campus.
I am not primarily concerned
here with discussing ' his excel
lence as an administrator, though
the quality of the Student Union
services, staff and program bear
testimony to this. Neither am 1
primarily concerned with the.
high esteem in which he is held
by union directors throughout
the United States, though this
has been apparent to me at the
various conferences which I have
attended.
My primary concern Is with
the loss of a man who devoted
so much of his time and sin
cere interest in guiding myself
and many other students to
wards a more worthwhile and
comprehensive activity pro
- gram for the student body. I
am only sorry that more stu
dents could not have had the
opportunity to know him as I
have through the Student Un
ion Board.
In my many personal talks
with him he has always been
friendly, fair and open minded.
No matter how small the prob
lem he was never too busy to
“talk about it over a cup of cof
fee." More important than this,
he has helped me to learn by
experience and to grow with
experience.
In working with myself and
other Student Union Board
personnel he does not make the
decisions for us, but rather for
ces us to consider, analyze and
evaluate our own decisions. He
has never feared student crit
icism, but has encouraged crit
ical questioning from alert
students. After one meeting in
which Dick and I were engaged
in a particularly long argu
ment, he was beard to remark
with a grin, “that was a good
meeting wasn’t it, the kids
were really doing some think
ing.” I wonder how many other <
student administrators would
react similarly?
I know that many other stu
dents both past and present will
agree that we are losing an able
educator and a fine friend.
