with a charity drive for the nuke
of charity to have a sign show
inn the University goal and how
much progress has been made
toward achieving that goal. Pub
licity in the newspaper and a
large public sign give this drive
the complexion of being another
intramural, a new sport —chari
ty! Yes, prove you are the most
charitable and you will win a
prize, a trophy. Who paid for
the trophy and wouldn’t this
money have been better spent
as a charitable contribution?
(living to help unfortunates
because we want to give and are
able to give is being charitable,
but giving to enhance our public
image, to prove we are more
charitable than someone else
and to build campus-community
public relations is sacrilege. If
we aren't charitable, if we don’t
act like mature young adults,
if our image is tarmished let’s
admit it and work to correct it,
not build a facade of money to
cover up weakness. Past week
hazing violation hit the public
and made a bad impression. Giv
ing to cover up mistakes or
erase ill feelings is not an ethi
cal solution but rather a feeble
effort to bribe others to think
as we would like rather than as
their own knowledge dictates.
For the reasons enumerated,
the Chi Phi Fraternity will not
contribute to Campus Chest. We
believe in charity and have con
ducted our own fund raising
drive, the proceeds from which
have gone to the Eugene United
Appeal To give to Campus
Chest would be a compromise of
our belief that charity is for the
ake of charity and not for
hypocritical reasons posed by
the Campus Chest committee
When the Campus Chest phil
osophy returns to truly charita
ble goals we will Im? glad to par
ticipate Until then we are in
earnest and sincerity.

On Foreign Students
Emerald Editor:
The conflict in which ASUO
Senator Finkbciner is involved,
has much deeper sources than
appeared in your article in Tues
day's Emerald Mr, Temu. lead
er of the revolt to recall Fink
beiner. expresses very well the
'-hortcomings of his own group,
by saying that the present Sena
tor is guilty of both “apathy
and lack of concern for the non
European sections” of our Uni
versity foreign students. It is
•his very apathy and lack of
concern of the “non European
sections,” which makes it very
hard for a Senator to represent
these groups.
Most of our University for
eign students do not seem to un
der,stand the reason why they
are h-re. Many of us fo:eign
students are here on exchange j
programs; many are financially
supported by our native govern- i
menu. Bv selecting us as am
bassadors, our sponsors expect j
us to know our duties while
staying in the United States.
Why then, are the “non Euro
pean sections” the ones that do
not want to be bothered with at

least an effort to help take away
many misunderstandings that
continue to exist among our na
(ions? Why do they betray their
countries by showing no initia
tive. but a less than minimum
interest in other people? Why
do they THINK that everybody
outside their group is against
them?
Temu's great concern for an
International House is false
when he says that this will be a
place where they can meet
Americans. What a beautiful
expression of languor, We all
know that we don't need an In
ternational House to meet Am
ericans. Of course, an Interna
tional House will enable some
groups to stick together better.
Why do we expect that Ameri
cans should take an interest in
us, if we too often fail to re
spond9 Arc we too busy study
ing? What a poor excuse! For
eign students on this campus
must be better than average,
otherwise they would not be
here.
It is not hard to criticize your
Senator. However, it can only be
fruitful if criticism is expressed
by those who have shown what
it means to be a foreign student;
those who could do the job bet
ter.

students. In some departments
the professor discusses his class
regularly with his assistant, he
added, and in the English depart
ment a visiting committee of
professors checks graduate stu
dent work.
“Some departments would like
to increase supervision,” said
Clark, “but it is extremely diffi
cult in departments which al
ready have too heavy a load.”
WATTLES FEELS more scr
ious consideration should be giv
en to the use of closed-circuit
television for teaching large
classes. "It is not equal to the
use of small groups,” he com
mented, “but it might be we could
use it effectively.”
“We have to explore possibili
ties for stretching personnel,”
said Wattles, since a “crucial
need” must be supplied. “Wre
must always very carefully weigh
the teaching abilities of those we
bring in.”
Clark also cited new teaching
techniques now in use, such a::
the use of TV in classes, the ex
perimental study aproach in bio
logy, the use of laboratories for
foreign language instruction, and
having English composition
classes meet two days a week
with special student-teacher con
ferences.
A >ir/i hud oi instruc
tion recently suggested by Robert
Summers, associate professor of
law, is the Socratic method where
the teacher acts as a moderator
part of the class and participates
in class discussion during the re
mainder of the period.
Summers said this method
would work in classes of up to
about 15G and is now being used
by the Honors College and var
ious teachers on the campus. Its
main area of use is now in the
Law school.
Material which would be norm
ally presented in a lecture would
be mimeographed beforehand
and given to students who would
use it for discussion. “You’re like
ly to get more out of it if its
written,” commented Summers.
LECTURING is a “sacred cow,”
he said and does not accomplish
as much as the Socratic method.

“It is the time when those who
have not yet reached their goal
should begin to be concerned
about doing their share, and com
petitors for the over-all trophy or
area leadership must put forth a
very determined effort, Luvaas
emphasized. The latter should
continue their projects at a high
rate and the former may find it
necessary to make personal 50
i cent donations or take the need
ed amount from their social
| funds."
He suggested such money-rais
ing methods as auctions of un
wanted and lost and founds, sur
prise breakfasts, firesides or des
serts, athletic contests, fines and
odd jobs, and icicle collecting
contests.
