Letters to the Editor I (Continual front pnt/f 2) TUBE. Since* when on this campus have such mundane manipula tions as sale and purchase of school supplies taken precedence over the exchange of ideas and philosophy that have occurred Over the years in this special atmosphere known as "The Side”. Shall we stand idly by while an old and valued friend is dismantled, burned and buried alive before our very eyes? I'hil (.ilmorc Architect and Assistant Professor of Architecture Business is Business? Emerald Editor: The Co-op moved between tin* Side and The Wesley Founda tion during my absence I was surprised because of my ignor ance of the intended move. The new building seemed complete in itself, and I was shocked to learn that it was not enough— that the whole Wilcox corner was to go. Sounds more like, "business is business”, and who cares what people think, rather than what is best for the students whom the Co-op is supposed to serve. Is it for students’ benefiit to satisfy their book and material needs at the expense of their informal physiological and psy chological ones? We need both, not one or the other The Co op can grow with out eliminating the Side. What are the alternatives? Let’s find out! Robert It. Kerens Vssociate Professor, Architecture About the Side Emerald Empire; With the absence of proof that the needs of Coop expan sion absolutely necessitate re moval of the attractive budding on 18th and Kincaid, one is not easily reconciled to this drastic step. Architects interested in pro serving the building should be encouraged to volunteer proof that repairs and useful conver sion can be effected without high costs and without resorting to demolition. Very likely, the Co-op man agement will be responsive to posals which can clearly meet their needs. Jack Wilkinson Professor of Architecture Emerald Editor: News Judgment I have a complaint When fraternities were engaged in haz ing. this was important news in terms of the Emerald. When fraternities are engaged in do ing good, such as the Sigma Al pha Epsilon Fraternity spend ing many man hours cleaning up the cemetery after the big storm, this was not considered news worthy. Does this mean that "news” concerns only activities which are bad and not good? J. O. Lindstrom 1256 20th Ave. E Editors Note: January 16 we did publish the reason for Sig ma Alpha Epsilon cleaning up the cemetery. 1FC Tribunal used it as a punitive measure for a "drinking function” held on house premises. Would Mr. Lindstrom have us give more emphasis to this "good news.” * * * Saturday Finals Emerald Editor: This term, instead of that last Saturday class we have the privi lege of taking finals. This is so fast and convenient, we won’t have to worry about preparation for those Saturday finals, there will be hardly time. Isn’t it won P.O. Box 32033. Los Angeles, California (lerful wo have an administra tion that thinks of the welfare of te student lirst! Now, instant fi nals to go with an instant term. What will they think of next? Think of the wonderful learn ing opportunity provided by these Saturday finals. Personally, I count myself among the "lucky” ones I had a mid-term this Monday, two lab finals Thursday, and three regu lar finals Saturday. Next week, "Final week”. 1 have one lonely exam and all that free time In cidentally, one of my three finals Saturday is in the same subject as my mid-term last Monday, I am making this plea in the naive hope that a less sadistic, more educationally sound evalu ation program might evolve. For instance: 1) No Saturday exams the day which ordinarily is the last day of the regular school week. 2) No more than one exam period in the morning or after noon Hack to back exams are a strain, physically and mentally. This extra exam could be given in the evening. 3) Alternate test periods if one has more than two exams in one day. 4) No "mid-terms” during the fiinal "regular" school week. (Lab tests are enough). Donald K. Katon (Irad—Science Kducation I The Side Emerald Editor: As the university becomes bigger, we loose the personal touch, but not the need for friendliness. From necessity, the buildings are becoming larger and more factory like. No one wants to stand in the way of progress, but is it prog ress when the one building that has warmth and a personal touch must give way to cold efficiency? The newer students can not know, or can not be expected to care, that the building was de signed by Mr. Wilcox, the first head of the Department of Arch itecture, and that above all, he was a great educator. He was not interested in fame or glory for himself, he was interested in the students. The Side reflect his concern for the users of the building instead of making it a monument to the designer. To an old grad, the Side is a friendly oasis in an impersonal sea of modern buildings. To an ex-student of Mr Wilcox, it is a sentimental reminder of an educator who is still far ahead of the times. This is a plea for a little sentiment—LETS HELP SAVE THE SIDE: K. K. Hudson 962 East 24th Wine Botas? You bet. We have them. Fill it up with your favorite beverage or decorate your room.
