Reunification of Germany Would Be Difficult: Dart By JANET GOETZE Emerald Managing Editor In spite of what the Germans themselves would like to think, reunification of the Eastern and Western sectors would be diffi cult today. This was the observation of Francis Dart, professor of phys ics, who traveled to Germany this September with a group for the American Friends Service Committee at the invitation of the German Peace Committee. Dart was the speaker Monday at the weekly Honors College dis cussion Dart said that the different economies, standards of living, and forms of nationalization that have developed in the divided Germanics since 1945 would make difficult efforts to reunite the country. Nevertheless, the German peo ple today anticipate the time when their country will be one state run without the Eastern or Western powers in ultimate con trol “Reunification Is Necessary" The physics professor said that the general West German atti tude is that reunification is nec cssary, but will come when Ger many is not in a position to force it in a political or military way They expect an evolutionary re turn to one country. lie said the East Germans want a recognition of their gov ernment, then the development of i) federation that would hind the capitalistic and socialistic states into one (iermany. The University professor said Walter Ulbricht, East German People’s Republic president, has indicated that he would like to sec the United States and Rus sia out of the picture altogether, with Berlin as a free state main tained by United Nations troops. Dart said after 1945 Germany was rebuilt according to the pat tern of the occupying country in each sector. Because Germans were put in positions of appar ent responsibility during the oc cupation, any opposition to poli cies was directed by Germans toward other Germans. Fear in East Germany The underlying feeling in East Germany is one of fear and iso lation, according to Dart, who lived in Germany in the early 1930's He said there was a sim ilarity to today's Eastern sector feeling and what he remembers of the pre war Germany. The isolation has developed. He said, because of restrictions of travel and exchange of ideas from one side to the other. Peo ple in East Berlin are not con scious of what public opinion is because there is no free press or opportunity to express a collective viewpoint However, opinions are express ed individually by the Germans, who have developed the technique of evading detection by would-be informers, the professor said. Budget Control Change... fC ontinued from patje l) get be recommended by the Bud get committee to the University president rather than recommend ed by the ASUO Senate The rea son for (a) is that I (Sherburne) do not believe this is an area of competency of the Senate and on (b), I (Sherburne) believe it of utmost importance that the bud get of a newspaper publication should not be determined by a political body. Submit Budgets to Senate • 'Each agency requesting funds must submit copies of their budget to the ASUO president for distribution to the Senate at the same time the budgets are submitted to the budget commit tee. • “The ASUO president's bud get director present the budgets and the budget committees rec ommendation to the ASUO Sen ate The Senate may call on the official representatives of the agencies requesting funds to an swer questions regarding their budget. • "The ASUO Senate having completed their deliberations and having in final form their recom mended budget for the coming year, must submit, through the budget director, two copies of the budget; one to the University president, and the other to the budget committee Letters... l Continued from pane 2) salaries be initiated, these teach era may be forced to abandon their positions in search of more financial reward; probably in the state of California. Pearson seems to dwell on the prospect that all students should be constantly studying to prove their teachers’ worth. The rum ors of drinking and social life on campus arc to him nothing but a weak defense of his opin ion that teachers are not doing their full job these days. I feel that in trying to mini mize the essential worth of in structors, Pearson is openly in viting many of our good pro fessors to find satisfaction in teaching positions elsewhere. And where will that leave the serious students in quest for knowledge? Maybe Mr. Pearson has the answer to that one too, or if he doesn’t we can take it to a special legislative session. Joan Coleman Junior School of Journalism • The budget committee, if it deems it desirable, may recom mend to the University president a budget which departs from that of the ASUO Senate for the presi dent's consideration. • “On budgetary requests af ter the completion of the annual budget, an agency makes their request for funds to the budget director, who takes the request to the Senate for action. The Sen ate then recommends to the Uni versity president action on the request On request of any mem bers of the budget committee, the budget committee will consider the request also, and may make a recommendation to the Univer sity president. • “The ASUO Senate may give authority to the budget commit tee to make certain budget recom mendations to the University president during the summer va cation “President Has Final Say” • “The University president, as now, makes the final deterinin at ions on the budget.” Commenting on Sherburne’s proposals, Max Risinger, assistant dean of the School of Music, said, "I have always been well satisfied with the budget board and can’t quite see why the change is being requested. I don’t understand why it should go beyond the budget board . . . which seems to be a representative body.” He said that as far as students or groups on campus having ac cess to budget board, “It has always been a wide-open affair.” W. Scott Nobles, associate pro fessor of speech, stated, "I am very dubious about the proposal since the Senate has adequate representation on the budget board. But 1 would like to re serve my judgement until I have talked to Phil (Sherburne) and the president about it.” Advertisement President Coming President Kennedy of the USQD will arrive in Eugene some time. This critical message was re ported some time after we first heard about it. This is in the usual style of your student news paper. Another thing in style with your newspaper is to eat something good late each night. The Dairy Queen stays open until a tad after the dorms close down for the night. His own group, he commented, was free to take opportunities for travel and visits with people in East Germany. They were also able to discuss many issues with the German people themselves in an attempt to understand feeling at all levels of the society. Easterners Look to West He noted that many of the most highly educated people in the Eastern sector have begun to look more to Moscow for their professional consultations, sim ply because they cannot keep in contact with the West. The Berlin wall itself has two parts, Hart believes. One is the l physical mortar, rock and barbed wire structure, and the other is one of ideas. He said the Ger man people have developed sep arate political and social view points because of the divisions in their country. The West sees the wall as one of shame. The East sees it as a well of peace. It is sometimes called the “anti-Fascist wall of protection” which keeps out the saboteurs and spies of the capi talist island adjacent East Ber lin. Those who are shot crossing the barrier are regarded by some East Berliners as traitors who have been lured by capitalists who seek the w'orkers with the superior training gained in the East. Dart said this is the offi cial government viewpoint shared by some citizens, and not believed by others. Reunification Difficult Subject The topic of reunification Is an emotion-charged subject for all Germans, Dart found, but he said the reactions toward it are different from one side to the other. He said that while Ulbricht is a hardened Communist fighter seeking recognition for his gov ernment, the Bon government is just as unyielding in making con cessions to the East. He com mented that West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt seemed to him to be the most realistic German politician in terms of the conces sions that may eventually have to be made in his country'.
