Beauty with Finesse 3443 Hilyard DI 3-9717 Student Report Slams Oregon Civil Defense A group of students at Willam ette University have released a critical 86-page report concerning the reactions of the communities in Oregon to the Columbus Day storm last October. The report was published under the auspices of the sociology department at Willamette University. THE REPORT was critical of the role the Civil Defense opera tions played in the storm, but noted that the community at large was ill-prepared. “The state and local organiza tions of Civil Defense did not per form any outstanding roles dur ing the crisis,” the report said. The role of communications plan ning was heavily criticized. The report stressed the fact that much confusion existed as to the exact role of the Civil De fense units. It continued to say that the “chief problem with re gard to civil defense is that this organization was designed ch'efly as a military arm, to be used in the case of war.” “IN PLANNING for this major function, the Civil Defense organ ization cannot be said to have suc cessfully induced the people to take its advice seriously or to make preparations which would have been effective,” the report stated. The Civil Defense played a min or role, overall, according to the report, stating that its chief use fulness was "in being a whipping boy on which to blame all the lack of planning, preparation, and co-ordination that the entire com munity exhibited.” Hawaii 9987 i From Eugene June 7th Hilo 102.07 CHARTER FLIGHT Organized by Students for Students Write HAWAII STUDENT CHARTER P.O. Box 5334 Eugene, Oregon something a little less serious by ted mahar LIFE WITH SLOGS I doubt that many people on this campus realize what it is like to live with Phil 'Slogs” Cogswell, the now dethroned editorial editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald. I have strong doubts. Well, let me tell you about it. Slogs is characterized first and foremost by an overpowering urge to re-write all the great poems ever written. For example, the other day he composed the following: I think that I shall never die; To live forever I will try. No grimmer thought can fill my head Than that I one day will be dead. ‘‘This sums up my idea of life quite well,” said Slogs. “Although I think you should attribute it to Robert Louis Stevenson.” Another poem Slogs has revised is a sentimental old thing called An Arab's Farewell to His Horse. It’s all about how sad the Arab is, and how much he'll miss the horse and riding around the desert and all. Slogs’ version of the several-page poem, in toto, is as fol lows: “Good-bye, horse.” ne aiso revises oia quoiauons. ne is iona oi saying irom time to time, “If it’s not worth doing at all, it’s not worth doing well.” Oc casionally, he quotes historical-sounding statements in totally dif ferent contexts from those in which the statements were originally made. For example, when I returned from my first National Guard, I saw that Slogs and my other room mate Dave Sands (known simply as The Ugly Canadian) had filled the walls with slogans. “Any man is expendable.” was the first sign I noticed. Others in cluded “C’mon you s.o.b.’s, do you want to live forever,” “We march on the Little Big Horn today,” “Don’t give up the ship,” and “All you have to give is your name, rank, and serial number.” The piece de resistance, however, was the sign on the bathroom door, which said, “Any spot is tenable if brave men make it so.” Life with Slogs is also filled with trivia, as it were. For example, when the Buel-Cogswell Mahar-Moran quadruvirate stepped out of the Emerald office for the last time last night, only Slogs went to the trouble to itemize what he had found in his desk as he was cleaning it out. The typed list he made included the following: four copies of the ASUO constitution, an empty EWEB envelope, two valentines (one from someone else’s fiancee), two winter term 61-62 time sched ules of classes, three 1959 psych lab projects belonging to someone else, a list of the things in his desk, a letter from Governor Hatfield to someone else, a column the Emerald never used, 209 used campus mail envelopes, a note from a student requesting that the Emerald return his letter from Governor Hatfield which he had lent to the Emerald, a label from the inside of an ROTC hat which said “Built in smartness—lasts to the very end,” a poem which began “Don’t forget something which should not be forgotten,” and three pic tures of the editorial page editor, which he says can be obtained upon request from the editorial editor. Whatever can be said of life with Slogs, however, there is one good thing in his favor: unlike another room mate of mine, he does not bless the apartment with a fresh supply of kittens every nine months. Slogs also eats Dairy Queens. (“You can always tell a Dairy Queen,” he says, “but you can’t tell it much.”) You should eat Dairy Queens, too. They are good for you. Also, while at the DQ store, you might just run into The Wandering Slogs as he wends his way down to lay in a fresh supply of goodies. (He likes to be called The Wandering Slogs. He has ever since he read a book about the legend of the Wandering Jew. He likes to think of himself as an old man with a long, white beard who lives forever. He hasn’t had much luck with the long, white beard yet.) If you don’t run into him down there, however, it’s still worth the trip.
