New Magazine Reflects Leftist View on Issues Hy 1*1111 SKMAS Associate Mi tor In the middle of fall term a Kroup of University students de cided they wanted to put out an opinion magazine. Winter term they took their idea to the Student Publications Hoard, not it approved provision ally. The magazine was to be called SNACK. Then they dropped it because of a lack of people and funds, I.ate last term those same peo ple decided to form a new group called the Association for Crc ative Thought and Communiea tion (ACT III). They’ve started putting out a new publication called REACT. It came out three times last term. This term's first edition came out Wednesday. It’s a mimeographed sheet, gen erally one page, front and back One issue was three pages, print ed on one side. It sells for one cent, though its editor says some people contribute more. Each edi tion has been printed on a differ ent colored paper: red, yellow, blue, and white. The editor is Spencer Hlock, who was supposed to have been editor of SNACK. He says REACT is intended to offer immediate response to cam pus issues. "It has its limitations,” says Hlock. "It's been somewhat inaccessible to the readers." Still, when Hlock and his assistants base really pushed the magazine from a table on the SU Terrace they’ve been able to sell 250-300 copies. The reason for REACT? "There are things going on campus that were outside the range of the E m e r a 1 d,” says Block, “things that the Emerald didn't have the room to run or the contacts to find out about.” Several issues have been cen tered around specific controver sies, the SU Board's decision of tables on the Terrace, faculty - student relations, and the ASUO Senate's request to get students into faculty meetings. It consists of editorials by Block Campus Clocks Run An Hour Slow Spring term got off to a lazy start Sunday as students ar rived on campus. Even the clocks have spring fever and are one hour slow. The sunny weather must have affected the physical plant, too. A secretary told the Emerald: "What do you mean? There's nothing wrong with the clocks. We've been fixing them since the electricity was off, but they are O.K. now.” A phone call to Portland re vealed no problems with the master clock which controls the time at all state institutions of higher education. But somewhere between Eu gene and Portland, time has slowed down.

REACT is generally leftist in tone. “It's pretty much turned into a voice for the left on cam pus,” Block admits. "That doesn’t bother me but it was not the main intent." He points out, though, that ACT III is not officially connected with any other group, such as Students for a Democratic So ciety or the Faculty-Student Com mittee to Stop the War in Viet Nam, although he and several others arc members of these groups. Block's group is also planning on another publication, to be called ACT III, that will be “what SNACK was supposed to be.” It would be a thick, more pol ished publication. Most of the plans are made for it, but the same problems that plagued SNACK—lack of money and man power—are holding up publica tion. Block says his group is try ing to get some moje “young blood” into their organization.

NSA Participation Subject of Debate - “Should the University stay in or get out of the National Stu dent Association?” This is the topic of a debate which will be held at the Young Republican meeting at 7 p.m. today in the Student Union. NSA has been a major but fair ly silent issue on campus this year, but with spring term elec tions coming up, it appears that much more discussion about NSA will take place. This debate may be the starting point for more open consideration of a question that has arisen every year since the University joined NSA. In a statement inviting all YR members and interested students to attend the debate, Don Pow ell, president of YR’s, commented, “This is an excellent opportunity for students of the University to find out both sides of NSA and take part in an informal discus sion which will follow the de bate.” After the debate and discussion the YR members will vote to take a stand on this issue. Other business concerns cltA elections, which will be held o» April 7, and the state College League convention on April 15 i» Salem. The room number of the meet ing will be posted and refresh ments will be served. Use Emerald Classified Ads— Phone 342-1411, Ext. 1818.
