Letters to the Editor
i Ctmiinucd fmm p(vje 2)
‘ allowed" to become a Parthe
non (as Mr du Toit insinuated
Is the case with the Side); it is
of supreme elegance or it is
not We all know, in this case,
it is not.
Put what is it? Mr. du Toit
says its an old building to be
compared to grandmother's old
dress, an old dirt road, and as
part ol an old American heri
tage, which ail stand in the way
of progress. I choose to examine
these ideas.
MK. du TOIT states that he
would never ask his grandmoth
er to wear one of those old
1899 dresses, “because modern
clothing is more pleasing to the
eve" and better meets the needs
and activities of today. I can
not understand why we. as the
general public, believe that any
thing new is always an improve
ment over the old, especially so
for architecture. If the public
does not realize* that too much
of modern ’ architecture is
sterile, boxy, and artificial, with
screens covering the emptiness
of their folly, I say we are a hell
ol an ignorant group. And I say
don t be surprised if the archi
tecture that replaces the Side is
not so pleasing to the eye and
does not better meet the needs
and activities of today For if
the needs and activities of to
day do not call for a better ex
pression of our society, in all
fields, then why arc we all in
volved in this human drama con
stantly striving for the better
ment of man and a universal
happiness?
And how do old roads fit into
the human drama? Mr du Toit
thinks the Side is comparable to
an outdated dirt road. The Side
very definitely takes part in the
human drama, hut do dirt
roads? The Side is part of the
beauty in Eugene, part of the
landscape, part of the surround
ing atmosphere; it will always
serve as an expression of the
strength, the firmness, the fit
ness of the Oregon society. The
thought of it being an ‘old"
building is irrelevant for there
are good old buildings as there
are bad old buildings, and the
same is true for modern archi
tecture. With the Side, we are
concerned with a good building
Losing this building would rep
resent a grave loss to the land
scape of the Eugene community
as well as to the University cam
pus Consequently, how can
there be an analogy between an
old dirt road, whose improve
ment does not significantly alter
the landscape, and that which is
a definite part of our environ
ment, of our being, of our socie
ty, of our nature.
We train, we produce, we
turn free the architect. He is
endowed with semi-sacred pow
ers. He is the one who covers
our land with mildew or radi
ante, with triteness or grand
eur, with ignorance or intelli
gence; he represents society.
Yet much too often he goes un
questioned in his work. He pro
duces forms that are big and
small, symmetrical and asym
metrical, this and that; but do
we seriously question these
forms? I think not. As a result,
the sham is everywhere, the
commonplace is common, and
the devoid is interesting. We
must learn how to look, exam
ine, and question Always ask
ing why specific materials, meth
ods, and forms take shape. Only
in this mariner will the healthy,
the logic, the fit be seen in ar
chitecture And then it will be
easy to distinguish the good
from the bad.
WITH THIS, I must conclud
ed that Mr. du Toit lacks in
knowledge of the true issue.
The controversy surrounding
the Side is not one of the pres
ervation of an old building or a
specific American heritage. It is
one of the preservation of the
well being, the healthy, the
good, in architecture, in Oregon,
in Eugene, ami specifically on
campus. We must learn to pre
serve the good in our environ
ment, whether it be old or new
What or who does dr. du
Toit represent? Most probably
you: the complacent, the illogi
cal, but at times the rational
public.
What does progress consti
tute? Too often the golden dol
lar! And I am still too young
and irrational to sympathize
with that aspect of the Side con
flict.

the course has been cleared with
city manager Hugh McKinley.
Finwall is originator of the
push cart relays at Oregon. He
got the idea for the relays from
San Jose State College, which he
attended before coming to Ore
gon fall term. According to Fin
wall the push cart relays at
UCLA, San Jose State, and Cali
fornia are similar to Oregon's
Canoe Fete as a campus attrac
tion.
Debatable Films
On HUAC Action
To Be Shown
“Operation Abolition" and “Op
ation Correction,” controversial
documentary films, will be shown
at 3 p.m Friday, sponsored by the
ASUO Civil Rights Committee j
Room will be announced later.
“Operation Abolition" concerns
the May 1960 “student riots" in
San Francisco, which occurred j
during the hearings of the House
Committee on Un-American Ac
tivities. Although sanctioned by
the House Committee, the film
has been criticized by many per
sons and organizations who con
tend that it is not an accurate
representation of the actual
events which occured at the time
“Operation Correction,” spon-1
sored by the American Civil Lib
erties Union of Northern Califur-;
nia. is the same film with a few
additions and different narration.!
It attempts to show that “Opera
tion AlKilition" is not. in fact, an
accurate portrayal of the student
demonstrations.
A debate between former con
gressman Charles O. Porter and
Walter Husk, of the Freedom Cen
ter of Portland, will be held on
Monday, April 15. The two men
will discuss the merits of the
House Committee on Un-Ameri
can Activities The debate was
arranged by Gary Newton, co
chairman of the ASUO Civil
Rights Committee.
