Debate Desired
Emerald Editor:
Why does a voter cast his
ballot for a particular candi
date'.’ Political scientists tell us
that a variety of factors could be
considered, but one of the ma
jor factors is a candidate’s pub
lic stands or views Although it
would appear that civil rights
should not he an important is
sue in University politics, it
would also seem that civil rights
could serve as an important cri
terion upon which to judge a
candidate's acceptability for of
fice.
For this reason, I must strong
ly condemn ASUO Senator at
I.urge John l.uvaas, for his re
fusal to defend his vote against
the civil rights proposal in a
debate with Junior Class Presi
dent lion Cowin. Perhaps the
terms of the debate or even the
entire proposition could be
broadened to include other cam
pus issues. Nevertheless, it is
imperative that these two cam
pus politicians clarify their
views on various issues before
any one could successfully eval
uate between them.

Wants Auditorium
Kmeraid editor:
Several proposals have recent
ly been made concerning a me
morial at the University for the
late President Kennedy. The
most recent suggests that the
University donate over $1,000
for a seat in the Kennedy Me
morial Art Center, to be built
in Washington, D.C.
John Kennedy was very inter
ested in the arts, and hoped
that they would be made avail
abb- for the entire population
The proposal for the University
to send money 3,000 miles away
defeats this purpose. A center
in Washington will do those in

Oregon little good It will not
help to foster the performing
artists in this area. For this
reason, I feel that a more fitting
memorial would be the construc
tion of an auditorium on this
campus. The thousand dollars
would he a good start in a fund
to build such an auditorium.
With an auditorium, the many
good performing groups and in
dividuals on campus would have
a suitable place to perform.
The many artists that annually
tour in this area would no long
er have to dread playing in Mac
Court. Such an auditorium
would help enrich the entire
community in the field of Fine
Arts.
In conclusion, I hope that
those who finally decide upon a
memorial will realize the ridic
ulousness of purchasing one
chair thousands of miles away,
when we need a whole audi
torium on our own campus. This
I feel would be the best and
most lasting memorial to the
ideals of our late President.

Don’t Move Organ
Emerald Editor:
Wc formally protest the pro
posed removal of the recently
acquired classic voice organ
from the Throne Room of the
University Art Museum to a
practice room in the Music
Building.
To ouote from the informa
tion distributed at the final or
gan concert of the Winter Or
gan Festival, the “superb sound”
of this extremely articulate in
strument which was “designed
to play organ music” rather than
to imitate an orchestra, is en
hanced by the “singular acous
tics of the Art Museum, with a
reverberation period of seven
seconds—on a par with reverber- <
ations to be found in the Salt
I.ake City tabernacle and in
Europe's famed cathedrals.”
Mr. John Hamilton, organist,
and member of the University
Music School, says, “Due to the
happy combination of a superb
instrument located in a room
with superb acoustics, the result
is probably the finest organ
sound to be found in the North
west today."
The classic voice organ has a
different and a finer sound than
the organ in the music build
ing Audiences at the Winter
Organ Festivals have obviously
been delighted by the concerts
in the Art Museum. Because of
these facts, and since we have
heard no objections to music
students practicing in the Art
Museum, we request that the
organ be left in the Throne
Room instead of being closet
ed in an individual practice
room of the music building.
Keep the classic voice organ
in the Art Museum so that it
may be appreciated by the maxi
mum number of people in the
most favorable surroundings.

Who Thinks?
Emerald Editor:
Since Mr. VonZuOlenburg’s
first name is not John, the ques
tion “Can Johnny read?” is in
applicable. Perhaps however, it
would be even more suitable to
ask “Can Karl think?" It seems
that in the case of the U.S.

Men’s Attitudes Queried
Emerald Editor:
Saturday’s Lemon - Orange
Squeeze confirmed a growing
suspicion of ours — there is
something the matter with col
lege men. Could it be they are
suffering from acute insecurity?
They came to the dance in
hordes with their power-playing,
beer drinking buddies and took
up stations in packs around the
floor.
Every so often some brave
soul would assert his question
able individual and venture forth
from the “group” to pounce on
some poor coed before she had
a chance to look over the stag
line. Once he had accomplish
ed this feat of courage, he wasn’t
about to lose his catch.
The girl could be fat, clum
sy and ugly, but nothing short
of a blunt “I came to this dance
to mix” would get her back to
the stag line. If she walked fast
she might even get ten yards be
fore she was snapped up again.
Since most girls are too polite
to take such drastic measures,
they could only cast remorseful
glances at the stag line and
dream of the “good old days”
when me had the initiative to
cut in.
Ideally a mixer is for mixing
and not just an institutionalized
form of picking up a girl. If
a boy wants to spend the en
tire evening with just one girl
he can ask one and pay her way
in. Otherwise he can at least
be gentlemanly enough to give
a girl an opportunity to circu
late and get her money’s worth.
Although we personally enjoyed
the dance, it’s a little more
flattering when there is more
choice and less chance involved.
