ASUO Elections Endorsements As Close Observers of Campus Politics, We Will Once Again Make Our Choices Once again the Emerald Editorial Board will interview candidates for ASUO Senate positions and endorse the candidates it thinks best suited. We do this because we think the Emer ald is the only student organization on the campus which is able to consider all can didates objectively and make recommenda tions based on first hand observation of stu dent government. We do not intend to tell students how they should vote, but we do feel an obligation to tell the students what candidates we think are best. The stu dents are free to accept our judgment or not as they see fit. Interview's of candidates who survive the primary elections will be held Saturday. The rocmendations will be published the following Mofiday and Tuesday, April 15 and 16. and th£ general election will be held Wednesday, April 17. This year wre will not endorse candidates for ASUO President, for two of the three candidates have been connected with t h e Emerald and an endorsement for either might be misunderstood. We will, likewise, not endorse a candidate for any office where one of the candidates hase been connected with the Emerald, or where we think the candidates are equally qualified. On April 15. the Emerald will publish a four-page pull-out section containing state ments by all candidates for office. We will also ask candidates for ASUO President to answer a series of questions and will print their answers to these questions, in order to help the students evaluate the positions and competence of the candidates. We think that the procedure outlined is the best way to insure that voting students are properly informed about candidates so they can make an inlelligent choice for the various offices. In this way, the Univer sity can maintain an informed and respon sible student government. The Discipline Code... Editor’s Note: At the request of the Discipline Committee we are reprinting the Discipline Code of the University of Oregon. For several months the Commit tee has been re-evaluating both the con tents of the code and the philosophy be hind it. Since both the minority and majority reports of the committee will be publicized in the near future, and the code itself will be the topic of consider able discussion among students and fac ulty, it seems appropriate that the stu dents be given a chance to refresh their memory as to what the code contains. * * * The Discipline Committee is responsible, by faculty legislation and by delegation from the President of the University, for the formulation of policies relating to stu dent behavior, for delegating the enforce ment of these policies, and for imposing penalties under them. The Discipline Committee consists of six University faculty members, three upper division students, the Dean of Women arid the Dean of Men. The University of Oregon is one of the few major state universities in the country where students have a voice in the administration of discipline. The Deans serve as advisers but do not vote on Committee motions. The Discipline Code is presented so that the entire University and the student body may know the general policies and proced ures followed by the Discipline Committee and the Office of Student Affairs. „ Article I—Expulsions The following offenses may result in ex pulsion or such other penalties as may be imposed. Expulsion means unconditional dismissal from the University. 1. Wanton destruction of property. 2. Drunkenness. 3. Gambling. 4. Falsifying information concerning overnight off-campus privileges. 5. Immorality. 6. Gross indecency. 7. Fraudulent registration. 8. Any action punishable under the State of Oregon Criminal Code. Article II—Suspensions The following offenses may result in sus pension or such other penalties as may be imposed. Suspension means involuntary removal for a fixed period of time or until specific conditions are met. 1. Cheating. 2. Unauthorized absence from a living organization after closing hours.* 3. Living in unauthorized housing or mis representing a place of residence. 4. Visiting lor permitting visits) by un chaperoned University or non-University women in men's living quarters. 5. Participation in an unchaperoned par ty in a hotel, motel, or other public lodging. 6. Providing or possessing liquor at any University-sponsored activity or in any Uni versity-controlled building or grounds. 7. Any other action that discredits the University of Oregon. Article III—Organizations 1. Each University-sanctioned student organization on the campus is expected to conduct its affairs in a manner that reflects credit upon the good name of the group and the University. 2. Any student organization that violates a provision of Article I or Article II, or whose members do so in a manner that places responsibility on the group, is sub ject to such action as the Office of Student Affairs or the Discipline Committee may impose. Article IV—Administration 1. Administration of this Code shall be the primary responsibility of the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men who may make final disposition of all cases except expulsion from the University. 2. The Dean of Women and the Dean of Men shall refer to the Discipline Commit tee all cases in which they recommend ex pulsion from the University. 3. The Dean of Women and the Dean of Men at their discretion may refer any case to the Discipline Committee who will con sider the referral itself as evidence of the gravity of the alleged offense. Article V—Inter-Campus Activities Officials of the University of Oregon and Oregon State University have mutually agreed to take severe disciplinary action against any student who engages in van dalism, kidnapping, and/or other malicious acts. These acts may result in suspension from the institution. Article VI—Automobiles All students must register their cars. The privilege of any student to have a car on the campus may be revoked at any time for due cause. Students must not park in restricted areas. In driving they must ob serve the basic rule and other traffic regu lations. i V StcptT WJEAPoNi a>^M> 5w» rJCetter to tie ^dilor More Than Sentiment, Age Involved in ‘Saving the Side’ This letter is not specifical ly designed to support the cru sade to preserve the College Side Inn: for I feel its destiny has long been determined. But, it is meant to be a direct reply to Brian M. du Toit's letter. Mr. du Toit’s letter seems to burp up the thought that crying over the College Side Inn is a ridiculous state of affairs, which stands in the way of progress which rest on a sentimental foundation, and must be changed for the “new" In belaboring these ideas, Mr flu Toit used many strange and varied analo gies. It is my expressed wish to examine these analogies and related thoughts IN WRITING this letter, I will sincerely try to refrain from using such ambiguous words as repose, respect, dig nity, purpose, and other psy chogenic words, which are many times part of the architectural jargon; which are very difficult to define and many times are used in a very vacant, empty manner. First of all, Mr. du Toit wants to find out why all the arciii tects are “shouting to save a lousy old building." It’s curious to me that he can so easily call the Side a lousy old building, when most professional archi tects consider it a rather good building. Yet maybe Mr. du Toit is an architectural historian, in that case, his opinion would seem to be a worthy one. But, maybe Mr. du Toit is not an architectural critic. Well then, what is he? What does he lep resent? We shall find out. A major part of Mr. du Toit’s letter was concerned with being sentimental He stated he could not understand “whv people in the first place get sentimental over a building.” Here. I be lieve, he is truly naive: he has burped-up something that not even he should be able to Swal low. For if we look beyond the fact that architecture is ultili tarian, primarily the housing and protection of human activi ty, we find that architecture is a reflection of society, of people, of man: Greece, through its classical orders in architecture, mirrors the simple, the direct, the idealized glory of its -ancient world, producing an everlasting image of a highly sophisticated Greek society; the Romans also used the classical orders, but their massive, weighty architec tural forms were not tha« of a Greek image, no, they were re flections of the pomp, the png entry, and the power of empiral Rome. The history of man has everywhere shown that archi tecture has played an integral part in man’s expression of his society, his goals, and his aspira tions; be it good or had, we have to decide this—the good we take to heart, and the had we east aside. In architecture's evolu tion, the good seems to be known: when we think of Greece, it is the Parthenon in Kngland, it is Westminster Ab bey; in Home, it is the Colos seum; in Venice, it is St Marks; in Paris, it is Notre Dame These are monuments the world has taken to heart: these arc the emotional, the romantic, the sentimental hallmarks of archi tecture these truly evoke sen timental attachment for thous ands I NOW HOPE the sentimental is better understood For we all. at some time or another, have to sympathize with man’s past to better understand man's pres ent and future. Architecture is an expression in the drama of man’s struggle; to sympathize, to understand, and become sen timental is also part of this drama—it is part of being hu man Before I go any further. I must say that I have no inten tions of comparing the College Side Inn to the Parthenon, or any other architectural monu ment. The Side is a good piece of architecture, but it is not a Parthenon It never was and it never will be; praise and eulogy will not lift it to the level of a Parthenon A building is never (Con limit'd on page 3) OREGON DAILY EMERALD The Oregon Daily Emerald i» published •even time* in September and five day* a week during the uchool year, except dur ing examination and vacation period* by the Student Publication* Board of the University of Oregon.
