Letters to the editor (Continued irnm Page 2) ruing, (Jubilant, cheers! and "re viving splendor that once was so much a part of Oregon." (chaos) Well, we were lucky! We had an opportunity to lend a hand to this renaissance. We were af forded the privilege of being able to purchase a "Beat Pitt" button for 50 cents which would go to "The Movement to Re store and Beautify the Historic Scenic Millrace." (Of course, the City of Kugene was going to assume hull the financial burden, but we were so eager to be a purl of the drive that this went unnoticed at the time.) Why, two stalwart lads even paddled a canoe to Portland to Friday 13th... (Continued from pane Z) could then decide if the super stition has any basis in fact. One could also determine at whose house one would no long er eat. SOME OTIIEK scientific minded local thought that if the 13 guests superstition proves to contain some truth, medical men could devise a method of Innoculation against the Num ber 13 Curse. But I told him to wait to see what comes of the investigation because I do not relish the thought of hearing at every radio station break lit tle jingles that tell me to rush out and get my Curse shots. Now we might ns well return to the original topic which was Friday the 13th. Although nobody knows too much about it, there are still a few champions of that day. Churchy La Femme is probably the world's current authority on it, and he is so acute that he can spot a Friday the 13th that doesn't occur on a Friday. How it's all done is beyond me. since no one else knows too much about Friday the 13ths on Fridays. I hope he writes a book on the whole thing some day. In the meantime, however, he should be very happy with this month because Friday the 13th is on a Friday. TECHNICOLOR .

Many other fine Innovations were added to "the Movement" such as signing over breakage fees and donating co-op receipts, innovations which we eagerly supported. After all, “We were the freshmen class and we would l>e the ones to benefit by It all." In retrospect we can say, "We Have Benefitted." The change that has evolved in the Millrace is noticeable. We are equally pleased to see that a new "Five year Plan" is being presented for the benefit of this year’s Freshman class. The one thing we would like to ask is, "Where did our “Beat Pitt" money as well as our co op receipts go ? Can any auditor on the campus tell us how much money is currently in "The Movement to Restore and Beau tify the Scenic-Historic Millrace Fund." We are anxious to know just how much more we must donate to match the funds that the City of Eugene has allo cated. Bight now we are going hust ling down to Bill Baker’s to buy a new swimming suit to enjoy the fine aquatic sports that will be available next spring. See you on the Millrace.

(Continued from page 1) groups confront each other only along the crests. Such confronta tions result In hostilities which i the Australian government keeps j from developing into battles. Barnett saw three reason for such hostilities. First, the crests are the only forested sections, and therefore areas worth compe tition. Second, these natives have an extreme fear of sorcery which makes them suspicious. Finally, | their culture places a premium i on male aggressiveness, and | achievement in battle is a sign of prestige. “A nother reason for the lack of fusion or assimilation of speech groups is that there is no central ized authority,” Barnett added. He said the headmen in the vil lages achieve rather than inherit their authority. Achievement is based on prowess in battle and wealth, thus there is a fluctuation of power. Often there are several head-! men who vie among themselves. ; These leaders have no authority beyond what is accorded to them. AMALGAMATION is also pre vented because bilingualism is' not encouraged and some at tempts are made to discourage it. Often attempts to communicate across boundaries result in mis understanding. This situation per petuates stereotyles as to what; the aliens are like, Barnett said. His final two reasons for the differentiation were that the communities, unless extremely j small, did not act as units and, that the villages within the com- j munities were themselves mobile and unstable. THK MAJOR source of hostil ities between the groups, accord-1 ing to Barnett, involved women ; and pigs which are "both regard- i ed on the same plane in New j Guinea.” He stressed that it was a predominantly male society, and women, as pigs, were regard ed as property. Wi/e-stelaing and pig-shooting were the most fre quent causes of trouble. Barnett went on to discuss subdivision within a village. He saw six reasons for differenta tion on this level. First, most villages are located on spurs running out from the mountains which limit land area, therefore when space runs out people are forced to move. Farming practices are a sec ond reason. The natives use a section of land for their crops until the soil is exhausted and; then move on. Eventually the plot is so far away from the village that the owners move out nearer to it. BARNETT GAVE RIVALRY among headmen as another ex planation. Often two men take their followers separate ways. F’ear of sorcery was a fourth reason, since the natives are so suspicious they will move away from a neighbor who gives them any cause to worry. He also said that differentia- j tion resulted because the natives I seem concerned only with the present and have no interest in ancestors thus kinship bonds are not strong. F’inally, pigs and women also! cause trouble within the village as well as between speech' groups.
