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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Ladies and Gentlemen, once
again, Thanks to all of you!
