Senate To Study Mexico Aid Plan The ASUO Senate will he asked tonight to sponsor a program investigating possibilities for aid to underdeveloped communities in Mexico. Merritt Fink, one of the pro gram’s authors, will explain the proposed program at an informal discussion session at 3:15 today in the Student Union. THK SENATE will be asked for $300 to finance an organiza tional trip to Mexico during spring vacation Fink and ,J. Spen ccr Carlson, association of stu-j dents, plan to make the trip to investigate the areas needing aid around Mexico City. The program, when completely formulated, will provide Univer sity students with the chance to live and work in Mexico for a summer "We’re not interested in any Peace Corps motives," com mented Fink. "We want to al low students to communicate with Mexicans and to give enough free time to study some an as of personal interest .” " The purpose of this fact find ing trip will be to see the partic ular possibilities. We are going to talk to a lot. of people who will give us leads. We will then in vestigate these areas to see if they are keyed to our type of or ganization," explained Fink. FINK SAID that he had several leads at present but needed furth er information before making con crete plans for the summer pro gram Some of the areas now be ing considered include a ehil drens’ home which would need aid in recreation and in helping to teach English, a village need ing help in practical areas such as constructing buildings, and a rural Mexican doctor who needs assistance. The committee has been work ing with the University of Mexi co The I'riendo organization and various government officials and professors trying to determine which areas would lie helped most by the aid which the University could provide.

Since we are intellectually oriented, the game should be one in which wc can use our intellects It should also be a game that can be played by many people or just one person alone Solitaire doesn't fit, really, because, as you might have noticed, a pack of cards feels pretty bulky in your pocket after awhile. I have, therefore, invented a game for college students. It is called Symbolism It is a game that cannot be copyrighted and, as one might expect coming from a college student, it is economically unproductive It can be played anywhere and requires only watch ing and thinking. (Boys already do this, but this isn’t exactly what I have in mind.) The basic assumption of the game is such that it should gain some acceptance among English majors and Psychology majors. It assumes that things aren't at all what they appear to be, but that everything really is something else, or at least represents something else. Those in Philosophy should be cheered to know that the game is somewhat existential in outlook; that is, the player decides what stands for what. It is true that Freud has provided us with some really fun symbol* (as it were) but there are those who are becoming in creasingly bold to say that Freud did not exhaust all the possible symbols. It must be admitted, however, that one could spend a long time and have a lot of fun reading Freudian symbols into various situations. mil enougn explanation, ron arc uououess cnampmg at me nil to see an example of Symbolism in action. Okay. As you might know, the Pioneer Mother faces the Pioneer Father. If you stand in front of the Pioneer Father, you can .see (through Johnson’s Hall's glass doors, darkly) the Pioneer Mother leering craftily at Pioneer Father and you. Now just suppose for the sake of the game that the Pioneer Father has been out in the woods all day Pioneering, and he wants to come home and do something lovey to the Pioneer Mother, like pat her head or scratch her back. He'll never make it. He is doomed to stride forthrightly forever without reaching her because the administration (building) stands in the way of True Love. You might assume, on the other hand, that he is coming back with some freshly killed game, say rabbit rather than baseball. Again, he’ll never make it for the same reason—the administration (building) is in the way. Married students should get a kick out of that interpretation. There are other things you can symbolize around the University. For example, stand on Commonwealth’s Red square with your back to the library (storehouse of knowledge) and contemplate the fact that the Business Administration School is in the Right wing and Sociology and History are in the Left Wing. Consider, too, that the Co-operative book store is to the far left. Note that in the extreme center of Commonwealth there is nothing at all. Or, consider the fact that Dairy Queens come in flavors to suit all types of personalities. There is pure white for people with pure white souls, chocolate for people ... uh ... Or there is cherry . . . Well, there are banana splits for schizophrenics anyway, and if you are merely a campus nut, you can have some sprinkled on top of whatever you are having, unless you are having a Pepsi or a ham burger or . . . Anyway, it’s always in good taste because it tastes good. There. Criteria for .selecting students to participate in this program have not been clearly defined as yet f ink explained that much of the criteria would depend on the type of aid to be provided. Hi stated, however, that there would definitely be a language require ni'-nt for participants. Fink felt that an interest poll, recently conducted among a few living organizations, has shown that stu dents are apparently interested in the program. “WHILE RESPONSE to these questionnaires is by no means complete, I feel that it shows that Dads' Lunch Will Be Held University President Arthur S. Flemming will be the main speak er at the 30th annual Dads Lunch eon, at 11:30 a m , Saturday in Mc Arthur Court. The University Singers, under the direction of Max Risinger, will present musical entertainment at the luncheon Roy E. Licuallen, chancellor of he Oregon State System of High er Education, and the presidents of the Oregon Mothers and the ASUO will extend greatings to the dads. Dads’ President John Warren of Eugene, will also present Univer sity of Oregon blankets to the dad who comes the greatest distance to attend the event, and to the dad with the most children pres ently enrolled at the University. Because of space limitations in seating all the visiting fathers and their sons and daughters, tickets will be sold for two luncheon ar rangements: the first will consist of a buffet service and seat at a table on the main floor of the Court: the second, a special box lunch and view seat in the bal-. cony Tickets will be the same. ($2 00), although tickets will be different in color and designa tion.

The committee is trying to ar range agreements whereby stu dents would be provided with room and board in return for their labor Transportation would not be provided and, at present, no salaries would be paid. Fink explained that he has re ceived much aid from Carlson who will accompany him on the March trip as a faculty advisor. Carlson has planned similar pro grams in Mexico and is currently doing work for Ejido, a childrens home near Mexico City. THE COMMITTEE’S original plan was to adopt and sponsor; a Mexican village. This idea proved impractical because of the struc ture of the aid program available through University students. “We couldn’t offer enough or ganization and assistance for a program like this,” said Fink. He felt that the more specific areas, now being investigated, would benefit the most from the aid available through the students. • • • Fifth Stage (Continued from Page 2) et year, it has openly embar rassed the University and placed President Flemming’s credibility as a leader in ser ious jeopordy. Who could possibly respect anyone in the fraternity system for allowing this to happen? And even sadder, from the point of view of emotional hygiene, is the widespread self-deception in the system. Everything is turned around — bad becomes good. When pledges are hacked, in jured physically, and terrorized psychologically, we are told that it is done only to separate the men from the boys. The men can take it,” but the boys can’t. The brutal mistreatment of in dividuals becomes the hallmark of leadership and taking it” becomes the measure of man hood. If there are any decent hu man beings left in the frater nity system, and I am confident there are, it is time for them to assume leadership ar.d turn fhe system into something a little more recognizably human.
