Letters to the Editor Truth and Fear Emerald Editor: Yesterday I walked into the newspaper room in tin- library trying to read some newspaper* and saw several hit; and horri ble pictures hanging on the wall about the results of two atomic bombs used in the Second World War. Those pictures make me sick I couldn't stay any longer and didn’t even want to read the newt, ,»ers. After I came out of there, began to ask myself two question. What were the reac tion of the Japanese students on our campus when they saw those pictures? If 1 bad a knife and cut my enemy’s face, then 1 took a picture of his face and showed it to my friend and said to my friend, "Friend, you bet ter wear a mask, so that you won't be cut like that," what would my friend think about me? Would he be grateful to me, because I didn't want him to be hurt, or would he think what a horrible person I was who could do such a thing to another person, even to an ene my’’ Every year in December most newspapers remind us of the story of sudden attack on 1’earl Harbor I wonder whether Japanese people will forget the destruction done on them by the two atomic bombs during the war. If they can they are better than some Christians. "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Those pictures tell me the true story about the destructive pow er of atomic bombs. The true story doesn't make me free, but it makes me fear. Christopher Fang Grad, in Physics • • • Pessimism Reviewed Fmerald Kditor: While xt.'iruling in line at the new student eafetrria in tlu* S t‘. the other day I overheard some students (obviously dissenters) voicing their opinions, which both the cafeteria help and my self found very distre sing The students complained that the correct line for this or that type food was hard to find and that when you did find it, you were liable to be covered with gravy, soup or what not. as peo ple in the next line tried to find their way out of the labyrinth with their long awaited food from the newly automated kit chen. They also complained that the price of meat risen up to 15'< while tin- cost of living is stable; that the salad bowls were halved in size but the price remained the same; that the milk machine either splattered you half a pa per cup full or one and a half paper cups full; and that as suming you could find the cash register and eventually pay at the new quick-pay booth, you could not pick up any silver ware outside because your hands were full This may all he partially true. However, the students were not being objective. They did not Vertrees... (Continued from page 2) would get the credit for putting the state in sound financial shape? Why, the politician, of course. As it stands, at present, high er education will lose even if it wins. Those in higher education are supposed to be highly per ceptive and knowledgeable. I trust that they will drop the log back onto the Governor’s grate where it belongs. Our fight must he with the chief executive, not with the electorate as he sug gests. His job is to raise reve nue, ours is to justify the expen diture of that for which we ask from the bounty of the Gover nor’s tender mercy. We must not do his job and we must guard lest he and his financial officers try to do ours. If higher education cannot justify that for which it asks, the Saints pre serve us. If higher education gets a short shrift because of a youthful, political smile and a glib tongue, the Saints will still be on the side of education. Bill Vertrees ASUO Senator mention the innumerable bene fits of the new cafeteria. For the same price as before you now net 25'/, less food no dieting necessary; you can now sit in new glassed in rooms, watching it rain, as you eat your half filled bowl of chili without I’.T. 409 haring in your ears Besides, when Governor Hatfield raises tuition next year to increase school revenue, there is a possi bility cafeteria prices will go down I'm sure there is a good side to everything, if people would only try to search it out. The trouble with most people is that they are not objective. Murray Gregg Smith Sincere Thanks Emerald Editor: It gives me great pleasure in expressinj; my sincere thanks and deep gratitude, along with the expi '••e-ions of thanks of the Indian Student Association, the University Y M C A and YWCA, to all those who helped in our campaign. 1 would like to thank specially those American and In ternational students and faculty who put their time and energy behind this drive. There are many who have been of valuable assistance to us by their advice, guidance and experience. Of these I would like to mention a few, namely, Mr Ted McRey nolds. the Associate Director of Dormitories; Mrs. Ramey, wife of the Foreign Student Advisor; Mr Charles Palmerlee, the Di rector of the YMCA; Dr Hugh Wood, our faculty advisor; and many others We are deeply grateful to and appreciative of Mr Ron Buel, Editor of the Emerald, and his stafT. for their great interest and cooperation in this campaign We thank the Student Senate, the S U. Hoard and their vari ous committees for all their help and support In this connection. Mr Bill Vertrees, the Board Chairman, Art Erickson, ASUO Vice-president and Neil Gold schmidt, ASUO President, de serve special mention. Our thanks to the People to people committee are no less. I have no doubt that this cam paign has provided an excellent and rewarding opportunity for people on this campus, who be lieve in freedom and democracy, to join hands in a joint enter prise for the purpose of going to the aid of a people who became the victims of communist aggres sion and invasion. This campaign was indeed a prime example of the people-to people program in the true sense of the word, and one has every reason to commend the Univer sity community for its enlight ened vision and farsight in this regard We were overwhelmed by the great enthusiasm and sincerity displayed by the many American and International stu dents who so ardently helped this campaign. The University of Oregon Students, faculty and the Indian Students Association have set an example for all the world to see how true under standing and cooperation, last ing goodwill and friendship be tween nations and peoples can be brought about in a most de sirable and effective way.
