Morse Says Tel star Bill
Blots Administration Record
By StE WILLIAMS
Emerald SUIT Writer
"The Kenendy administration
has blotted its record for all of
history," said Sen Wayne Morse
(D-Ore.)t speaking of the Tclstar
bill that passed Congress last
year Morse spoke Saturday morn
ing to a meeting of the Honors
College Colloquium classes.
Morse pointed out that he was
on the minority side throughout
the discussions on Tclstar The
filibuster on the Tclstar bill, in
which Morse was a participant,
was to gain time to get informa
tion to the public through what
he termed the "news blackout.”
"There was not a single accur
ate account of the : pace debates
in the Senate last year," he said.
According to Morse, the press
made people believe that the mi
nority wanted the government to
own and operate the whole space
communications program The
Senator implied in his remarks
that this was not the case.
MORSE MAINTAINED that the
administration bill was steam
rollered through the Senate, both
by the actions of powerful lob
bies and by what he termed a
“double-edged parliamentary guil
lotine”: the use of cloture and
the motion to lay on the table.
A total of 26 Morse motions to
amend various clauses in the bill
were laid on the table as fast as
he made them, the Senator said,
not to mention 17 amendment
motions made by other senators.
Morse said that the reason for
this was that the majority could
not face the Morse substitute
plan
Morse’s proposed plan is that
the government should lease con
tracts to any company that has
something to offer
“No company should be denied

Morse. As it stands now. he said,
the program is in the hands of a
cartel which violates all the mon
opoly control laws in the United
States.
Morse said that the government
interest had to be maintained in
the communications program be
cause of the possible effects on
foreign policy.
Morse stressed that the people
at-large should realize that vote
trading is one of the great evils
in the Senate and that this was
involved in the Telstar bill.
Recalling Jefferson's discussion
of the subject of legislative free
dom. Morse emphasized, "you are
never going to maintain a gov
ernment by law in this country
unless you maintain the proced
ural checks on mere men who ad
minister them." If we relinquish
enough of these checks, Morse
continued, it will result in loss
of freedom.
ON THE subject of space spend

thinks the United States is spend

within the 17-acre area east of
the campus. This will be credited
toward the local agency's share
of the project costs.
The University’s total addition
al costs are estimated at $89,173
which includes the $48,000 ap
praised price the University will
pay for the remaining unused
land in the area.
The city of Eugene will not
have to pay anything in property
taxes for the project.
f EDERAL FUNDS will amount
to an estimated $524,502 which
will cover the cost of acquiring
the remaining private properties
along with the planning and de
velopment costs.
The 17-acre site covers 416
blocks, bounded by Franklin
Blvd . Emerald and Agate Streets.
According to Lindstrom, the Uni
versity will improve the sewers,
streets and street lighting.
He also said the University
will come to the council for per
mission to vacate several streets
and alleys in the area and would
provide two parking spaces for
every 10 residents of dormitories
in the area.

Emerald Exchange Editor
In his speech before the an
nual business meeting of the
Mothers' Club Saturday, Presi
dent Flemming emrmasized the
revision of the present discipline
code.
Flemming said. "It is import

to review periodically its objec

the recommendations of the fac

have passed, Flemming expressed
