Letters to the Editor Protest Km<-ritlil Idllor: In reading your editorial of May second, 1 noticed that it whm unsigned. May l u k who wrote It? And may I also auk If l he Individual who wrote it whm prclient at the coffee hour when both the prcaidentlal candidate)* spoke? If you will recall. Sam Vahey alood when he add ream'd hia audience and he didn't con tinually need the table for sup port, hm Mr. Hinkaon seemed to. He presented hla Ideas clearly and briefly. However, Mr. Hink aon began enumerating the vari ous expenses that the restoration of the Mill Race would entail In stead of talking about the many other points In his platform. In regard to public relations, a good speaker Is one of neces sities of a good Impression. The \HCO president must of ficially welcome many groups to this campus'. I am sure that •Mr. Vahey recognises the need for good public relations and has Included this point in his plans. rhc student body president need a good Bi-nm’ of organizit tion Mr. Vahey has this The Easter egg hunt was cited a* an example of Mr. Hinkson'a or ganizing nMIHtes and it was very poorly organized. Anyone who has lived in Oregon for any I'-ngth of time should take into consiileration its unpredictable weather and make provisions for it. Unfortunately, this was not done and as a result, the hunt was much less successful than it might have been. Ila\ing gone to schools where Mr. Hinkson was one of the student body officers for sev eral y ears, I should Jo- happy to Inform you that .Mr. It ink son was very capable—then. Also I should like to say that while Mr. Hinkson was very capable the schools did not profit by his being one of the student government. If this is what you support and advocate Mr. Who-«-ver-you arc, then I’m very happy to say I'll vote for Mr. Vahey! Ilcverly .Joy Bcllarts Connie Drury More Protest? lime raid Editor; After reading your editorial iu today's Emerald, I felt it necessary that I express my opinion on the subject. You said that Mr. Hinkson was not a glib or an outstanding orator, but that he was able to apeak forcefully. This was one j of the reasons for making him your choice for A.S.U.O. presi dent. Have you taken into con sideration the remark he made at the coffee hour the other day? | After Sam Valley had presented his platform to the audience. Bu’t h first l<*ok at lltid Illnkson. lie is .funior Class president. Hr was chair iimn of the senate nnnniittrr for a Northwest Federation of . Collegiate leaders; onr of last year's A(»H platform planks. How has he fared here? No ronferenee was planned this year, and what's worse, the college* that replied to his letters that they would come to Oregon never received a reply that the conference was called off, until three days before the date of the confer ence. ‘'Efficiency and deter mination” Mr. Illnkson was also in charge of Operation Easter Egg, a little hit of ‘‘public relations.” Sam Vahey’s record has gone something like this. As co-chair- j man of the Sophomore Whisker- j ino, he helped to make it a fi nancial success after it had lost money the year before. This was; when he was sophomore class vice-president. As president of Campbell Club, he guided that living organization to a record of house accomplishments seldom rivaled anytime in the history of this school. He was one of the few freshmen to ever be sports editor of the Emerald. As make up editor, he is partially re-1 sponsible for reducing Emerald costs more than $200 below the i budgeted amount during the first four weeks of this term. These are but a few of his accomplish ments. He has been one of the| outstanding senators this year on 1 the student senate; he is presi dent of Druids; he is at present promotion Co-chairman for Jun ior Weekend, and in addition he has a lengthy list of successful committee work. Vahey has ex perience, he’s dependable, he’s enthusiastic, he would bring about positive action. These are well deserved comments from the Emerald. Since this does not explain the campus daily's stand, let us look to the present plat forms of the two candidates, and the issues (if there are any) upon which the Emerald has made its decision, * Present platform; The candi dates' conception of the office of student body president: Vahey places as No. 1 the task of carrying out the legis lation passed by the senate, i.e., the executive branch of student government. Hinkson sees the job to be one of pub lic relations, l.e., greeting vis iting officials, and speaking at special weekends. Let's go further: the open pri mary. Isn’t it strange that the Emerald, after supporting it for two whole years should all of a sudden come out and say it agrees with the candidate who is opposed to it without giving a reason. Another interesting fact to observe is that Hinkson didn’t come out against it until it was too late to get an amend ment to do away with it. "Sin cerity” "Hinkson ... is able to speak forcefully on his views of issues out of what we believe to be a sincere conviction."—Em erald. Politlral alignments — and Oreek Week: Hinkson says that he is opposed to the current po litical alignment (he doesn’t of fer an alternative nor start a new party) and yet he says that “it’s the responsibility of some group other than the Greek houses to provide a replacement activity" for Greek week. U1S ? Vahey stated that Greek Week should be re-evaluated ("a stab.” arrgi. It is interesting to note that the Greek organizations have themselves proposed this. Now that we have had a look at the campus daily's idr-a of a student body prcNidcnt, let'* look at things In a clearer IlKht. Both candidates are swell kuys. They are both easy to know and easy to get along with. However, this does not make a student body president. Experi ence, reliability, sincerity of pur pose, and a program of action; these are the attributes of lead ership. We ask you not to vote for a certain candidate, but to stop and think before you vote. Make sure of the qualifications of each candidate; and then vote. On our part, here is “A Vote for Vahey." Calvert Hollis Ransom Lost Tickets Emerald Editor: After reading the incident about the lost tickets for the "Canoe Fete" it is my feeling that they should stay lost. In the .past the float parade was free to the public. This year stu dents are putting up bleachers spending considerable money and energy on the floats and now the University sits back and says everyone must have a ticket; even those who are participat ing in the show. I'm sure those who are now working so earnestly on the week-end have suddenly lost ambition they once had for mak ing something worthwhile. Phil Woody Policy Questioned Emerald Editor:. What in the H-— is the policy of the Jr. Weekend Committee. Not only do you have to spend $50 in building a float, but now we are informed that even those riding on them must buy a ticket. It was the old policy to have mothers as guests of the uni versity. Now we write and say, "Dear Mom come to the Canoe Fete and bring two dollars for tickets.” Certainly the students should at least be informed as to where the money for the tickets is going. After working all night before the Canoe Fete, I wonder how many students are going to be willing to pay fifty cents to push or ride on a float. Warren Wilson Ed. Note: See story on page one.) There’s not enough food for you and the bugs Ah any backyard gardener knows, you have a fight on your hands from the moment you turn over your first spadeful of earth. At every step, fungus growths, weeds and in sects wait to destroy your lawns, trees, plants, flowers. A disheartening struggle for Greenthumbers^ . . a round-the-clock fight for commercial farmers. But, there’s a growing list of weapons you can wield against bugs. Some of the most effective have been developed by Standard’s subsidiary, California Spray Chemical Corporation. In 1907, we brought out the first basic lead arsenate to stop the codling moth, a fruit crop destroyer; later, new-type summer and dormant oil sprays that safely checked scale and other insects. Other Standard research achievements have been chemicals to kill aphis, mites, thrips, and similar sucking insects... dusts to destroy fungus diseases like rust, blight, mildew . . . sprays and dusts custom-made to knock out such enemies as the grasshop per, boll weevil, hornworm. Other pest killers boost milk production from our dairy herds, help beef cattle fatten faster. One good reason you live in the world’s best-fed nation is because insect invaders have been held back on our farms, ranches, and orchards, thanks in part to Standard’s constant hunt for new ways to make petro leum do more things for you.
