A Philosophy of Student Government (i oHlinui'il from pii ir i) tec doing 1 ti nk we can ac < cnulisii the same results with similar guarantees through a student-faculty committee com posed eijuallv of faculty and .students I think the new dis cipline cod'-, now being formu lated by the present student faculty committe- is close to what the students themselves would ask for in a bill of rights, at least in its philosophy. (} What exactly do you see as the role of the ASUO Presi dent-’ A I think, with good reason, the founding fathers of the t' *v constitution, and of our own state constitution, have created an independent executive. I think they did this for more reasons than just to have an executive to administer the de cisions of the legislature Our student body oresid«*nt ought to be an Innovator and a thinker who attempts, on his own. to bring to student government the changes needed He ought to feel free to disagree with the legislative body at any timr .Most important, lie should not be bogged down with adminis trative responsibilities to that body. t|. what do you see as m" role of the student press as re lated to student government? A First, the student mess, if it is to have any backbone at all, must be free to criticize anywhere within the University community, and on any matter that effects our students, not only as students, but as citizens outside the University. As it re later to student government spe cifically, student government ought to enco irage the watch dog activities of the ur"ss Tec 1 nically, it is possible to regard the Emerald as a very limited organ because the source of some ot its income is from stu dent fees. But there really isn’t any halfway mark for a press. If its scope is limited on one is sue, suca as student govern ment, it can no longer be re garded as independent or free. Its a curious thing, and 1 have often wondered in times past when the student government and the press have been at odds, how student government would feel if the Emerald suggested similar restrictions should be placed on the Senate. <J. Finally, what do you sec as the more important roadblocks to an educationally effective student government at this Uni versity? A I think the most effective roadblock has b"en heredity. The students at the University of Oregon have inherited an ac tivity system and a network of awards and honoraries that not only aren’t adequate, hut are, in actuality, a throwback to an earlier day. We give awards and r« var<i: ft>’- partieioation in ac t'vities that arc no longer sig nificant as they relate to the academic process. These activi ties in themselves aren’t evil, it i only sad that we haven’t ex posed our students to the type of activities that actually may prepare them for the kind of life we profess to want them to i i Our incoming freshmen ; r socialized into a myriad of activilics ol the nature of Canoe Fct', Dads’ Weekend. Moms’ Weekend. Homecoming, etc. that may enable them to become d cent administrators, but which tn no way require them to introspectivoly scrutinize their personal values or the val ues ot the society around them This nation needs people who care, and who arc willing to ac cept the fact that it is never too early to try to do something about problems larger than on campus activities. Our student government is. in reality, an outgrowth of the stu dent government of high schools throughout the country. These student governments produce the- kind of thinking that is in evitable when administrator*: and most educators treat stu dent group effort as immature and insignificant The words, “s t u d e n t government” have come to mean, ‘ mickey mouse”. At its best, student government should be the end result of in terest created in the classroom Either we begin to reward those who are most concerned about the under privileged Ne gro in this community, and in their home communities, or stu dent government will remain the same. Either we recruit the intellectual who avoids the elec toral process, but who is most concerned with the apathy of our University students towards censorship in government, to ward violation of procedural rights by government investiga ting committees, and who is concerned with the plight of the Southwest African, or we will stand still. Either student gov ernment will take up the vital issues confronting our genera tion, or our student government will be held in contempt by its constituents.
