event is not understood by the
student community.
First let me say that the con
vention is first and most impor
taut an educational endeavor. It
is open for every University stu
dent vylio wishes to participate
The reason it is a Republican,
as opposed to Democrat conven
tion is that the former is the
"out" party: the party in which
a scramble for the presidential
nomination is even now develop
ing If it were the Democrats
who were "out" a model Demo
crat convention would be in
order
To emphasize this even fur
ther, I would like to point out
that many students working on
the various planning committees
are themselves Democrats This
fart speaks for the objective,
informative, and education na
tine of the Model Convention.

Questions Drive
Fmerald Editor:
A definite trend has become
established at the University of
Oregon, that student govern
ment is to reflect only the ideas
of its "leaders". The boldness of
this political philosophy was re
flected hv the Civil Rights Week
( hairman McUhcc's printed
conclusion that "donating every
one's money to a certain side in
a controversial issue may not
lie entirely democratic.” The
fact that such a philosophy of
student government is a definite
force on this campus is evidenc
cd by both the structures of the
Civil Rights Week program and
the ASUO Senate's action in
voting ASUO resources and sup
port to one side of this “con
troversial issue”.
The purposes of the Civil
Rights Week Program, as stated
in the Emerald, is surely con
tradictory. How can an organi
nation representing diverse stu
dent opinion sponsor “educa
tional programs to inform stu
dents about civil rights issues ',
and at the same time hold
forth to the community at large
that the ASUO has already come
to a conclusion as to the “right”
solution to the problem. The
problem we are referring to
is not whether Negroes have a
right to vote, but how to ac
company that right with an ef
fective government looking out
for the interests of all the peo
ple governed. Along with the
right to vote, there is a respon
sibility to vote intelligently. In
extending the vote to more No
groea in Mississippi, would we
also be assuring the institution
of intelligent voting? There is
at least "a shadow of doubt" in
our minds that giving unedu
cated Negroes a majority vote
in hostile communities is a last
ing or satisfactory solution to a
social i not a constitutional)
problem.
If the professional organiza
tions of CORK, NAACP. and
other members of COFO desire
to organize and conduct a fund
raising drive on this campus,
we certainly have no objection.
However, we do object to the
committed support of all Uni
versity of Oregon students.

Artistic Viewpoint
Emerald Editor:
Perhaps the value of Gerd
Stern's “The Verbal American
Landscape, 'Take Two/ ” can
not be appreciated by the noble
village of Eugene because the
lack of a high degree of elec
tronic culture leaves only a
Residence Question...
(Continued from fhwe 2)
Two important questions are brought to mind by this subjective
policy. First, can laws assumed by the body politic lie regulated or
enforced or applied differently by an inferior agency endorsed for
action on the part of the parent body? This question was recently
referred to the State Attorney General by action of the ASUO
Senate. The second question concerns the ethics of the Committee's
policy Should the Committee In* allowed to continue to base deci
sions regarding residency on purely subjective terms ' This policy
allows the possibility of arbitrary, and, as we have seen, question
able decisions to be made by the Committee. Perhaps the most im
portant defect in this policy is that it gives the student no formal
objective criteria which he must fulfill, and knows he must fulfill,
in order to gain resident status. His status hinges on his ability to
convince the Committee of his intent to remain in Oregon after
graduation.
Let me make it clear that this is not an “ad hominem” criticism
of any of the personnel involved in the decision-making process,
but is rather a criticism of the process itself, and of the subjective
policy which, even if substantiated legally, cannot be exonerated on
an ethical basis.
moral judgment for those who
have never been part of a heav
ily - populated, industrialized
area.
Stern’s experiment with the
word as a visual object is essen
tial in aiding man to express
his feelings of being a partici
pant in an electronic culture. In
pointing out the authoritarian
qualities of signs as they affect
modern man's everyday life, i.e.
his preoccupation with sex.
Stern hopes to awaken people
to the realization of how much
our material society influences
our emotional behavior. The
demonstration was not a basis
for Mr. Stern’s aesthetic or mor
al opinions, but a presentation
of "light and sound as an experi
ment with possibilities and ef
fects of simultaneous communi
cations and media-interaction”
to create a release mechanism
allowing the artist to express
his relationship to a world of
growing technology and indus
trialization.
In the presentations of Stern’s
program at the San Francisco
Museum of Art and the Festival
of Art at the University of Brit
ish Columbia, he was criticized
as controversial and thought
provoking, but the police were
not called and his experiment
was not implied to be porno
graphic. If the University of
Oregon is to be an institution
of higher learning, men such as
Stern need the right to exhibit
their art forms without preju
dice from antiquated, Puritan
ical minds. Governor Wallaces
and Dr. Schwarzs may come and
go freely without any outraged
complaints to the police, but to
an artist who demonstrates his
innovation in the art of com
munication, comes a referral to
the authorities, because some in
dividuals are incapable of un
derstanding that art deals with
man and his senses, and close
their eyes to anything their
self-righteous minds deem im
moral.
Little hope can be seen for
this viewpoint to change t^> a
realistic, objective outlook con
sistent with the scientific cul
ture of today.

Redirected Fees
Sportsfans:
Allow me to offer a moderat
ing position in the campus issue
of compulsory intercollegiate
athletic fees If there is absurd
ity in the next thoughts, the
pertinent fact that I attempt to
stop smoking should clarify any
misapprehensions.
Compulsory fees are neces
sary, provided funds are "need
ed" and their use is a matter
of common agreement amongst j
majors
Hughes, one of Southern California’s leading
electronics firms, is currently selecting candi
dates for its Finance Development-Graduate
Program.
We would like to discuss the Program with you if:
■ you will receive your Bachelor’s or Master’s
degree during the next year.
■ your interest is financial management.
■ your academic training is in one or more of
the following areas:
Accounting Finance Economics
Business Statistics General Business
The Program is completely oriented and oper
ational. It has been developed to fill the ever
increasing financial management requirements
of our company. The two year Program provides
valuable experience in many financial areas.

graduate student argumenta
tion against the use of funds,
distinguished from their collec

Athletic Department, for the
purposes of intercollegiate
sports competition, requires
funds to offset monetary losses
from their ‘‘normal” program,
then compulsory fees should be
used, in order that the athletic
program is sustained at its pres

If the Athletic Department,

I must openly admit that the
University’s main library suffers
from a horrible case of one
bookiness. I venture to specu

multiple book-buying of identi
cal texts that are often used or
highly recommended in many
courses during the same term.
One copy is not sufficient, even
though it may be on two-hour

I support Everette Dennis’
suggestion to use compulsory
fees to aid the library, with the
proviso that athletics do not

Questions All Fees
Emerald Editor:
There are some people who
feel they should not be forced
to pay for University services
they do not use. Why should
this logic be used on football
alone? To be fair the rule must
cover all University services.
My catalog has quite a list of
University services paid for by
student fees: library, student
paper, concert and lecture ser
ies, health service, the gym, and
others.
If I have used Mr Holly’s
seat at football games he can
have my share of the concert
series. Maybe he has a plan to
put the library on a self-sup
porting basis.
