name to the bottom of the list
and delete the name at the top
of the list and send a 98 check
to that person.
What eventually happens is
this: it comes to a point where
no one can sell the letters any
more.
The last person in the chain
has paid out $10 for the letter
and $5 to the person whose name
he deleted to get that $5 check,
and he is out $10.
But, backing up the chain a
little bit, there are people who
have paid out the $15 and got
ten $5 from the letter they
bought, and $10 from the let
tors they sold, and nothing from
the people who were supposed
to send them $5 checks because
the letter did not get far enough
to where their name would be
deleted and checks sent to them.
The people at the top of the
chain are making money while
the people at the bottom are
losing. And another thing to
note: there are just about as
many people in the last link of
the chain as there are total
before them in the chain. This
is because at each step, the
number of people in the previ
ous step is doubled in going to
the next step.
Besides bcing*financially dan
gerous, chain letters are illegal
safe from losing money and
and classified as fraud. To keep
maybe a run-in with the police,
don't buy chain letters.

Volunteer for Cause
Emerald Editor:
In their respective articles in
today’s Emerald, Nomi Boren
stein and Dave McC'loskey and
Bob Holmes have made it beau
tifully clear that, in relation to
academic matters, the students
ran seek from the faculty and
its administration autonomy in
stead of power. I want to vol
unteer to work for that cause.

Tripe written
Kmoraid Editor:
(The following is an excerpt
from a torn pamphlet discovered
in the garbage cans behind Fogg
Hall, while looking for my tripe
writer, which my roommate had
carried away as useless junk.)
"Good Morning Children, and
wielcome to Babble U. My name
is Uncle Maxie, and I'll be your
spiritual leader until you start
serving your first sentence. You
boys and girls are a bunch
of wonderful, freethinking in
dividualists, I know, because
even I can’t tell some of you
apart. I hope you all brought
money.
"Now sit up slouched, watch
for opportunities, and maintain
your solidarity. Aren’t you glad
the draft board has such rigid
restrictions? Yesss! Just think,
if you study real hard, and mem
orize your ‘spontaneity’ and ob
structionism, you’ll be all ready
for action when the times comes.

"Now eat your little sugar
cubes which were passed out
at the door, while I tell you all
about the wonderful absolute
freedom we have here at Rabble
U. First of all, feel free to ex
press any opinion here, but re
member, if you don’t conform
to our ideas of the true free
thinking individualist, you’re
obviously either a revisionist or
an FBI agent, probably both.
And you’re absolutely free to
take any koarse you want, just
so It's one of our mandatory

“These are necessary to make
you a true frecthinking indivi

about civil disobedience, social
disobedience, legal disobedi
ence, disobedient disobedience,
manufacturing martyrs, contriv

prevarication, and all kinds of
fun and games.
“And you simply have to take
our wayout koarses, “the evils
of capitalism,” “the virtues of.
communism,” and "the absolute
infallibility of Uncle Maxic” —
that’s me.
So run along now to the Coke

don't run away! Defend your

off at this point so I was unable
to ascertain the location of Rab

ticipate that more material per
taining to this institution will

Return the Responsibility
Emerald Editor:
I don't want my grades to be
used to send someone else to
Viet Nam. I can’t see how any
one’s obligation to his country
can be based on a grade.
Each male student must rea
lize by letting the university use
his grades to rank students, each
is responsible for anyone draft
ed tinder that system. I as a
student do not want to be re
sponsible for someone else’s
death.
1 want the faculty to adopt
Mr. Aberle’s resolution and re
turn the responsibility back to
those who must make the deci
sion.

Reply to Meyer
Emerald Editor:
This is an intended reply to
Mr. William Meyer's letter in
the October 17 Emerald. I think
you are confused on the use
of the word “perpetrate."
In order that the University
“perpetrate” the Selective Serv
ice System, it would have been
necessary for the University to
have instituted the system also.
And such is not the case.
You are asking that the Uni
versity cease to help in the con
tinuance of this system; i.e., by
not “perpetuating” it. Which
brings me to the point of my
letter.
There is, indeed, no reason
why the Selective Service Sys
tem should be allowed to dictate
the criteria of your continued
education in terms of what is
considered necessary in the na
tional interest; any more than
it should be allowed to send the
kid down the street, who hasn’t
fot the coins or the glue be-;
tween his ears to get to col
lege, to Viet Nam. Think about
it.

Adequate Appraisal
Emerald Editor:
Mr. Bruce E. Combs, I won
dcr whether you might agree j
that, under the circumstances, j
being partially effective is at.
least better than having no ef-'
feet at all?
I refer to your reply to Pro-1
fessor Klonoski’s letter. And. *
too, Mr. Combs is your phrase- j
ology, “. . . sell out on grounds i
of political expediency . . .” J
really an adequate, accurate ap- J
praisal of what Mr. Klonoski j
said?
It depends, I suppose, upon
what you think and speak with, j
your heart or your head.

Parking
■ ■ ■
(Continued from pa<ie 1)
One definite problem with this
proposal is that 13th Street is!
the only through street from the J
downtown area to east Eugene
within five blocks in either di- j
rection. In order to close 13th to
through traffic, the University I
must provide an easily accessible,
alternate route around the cam-1
pus.
The sub-committee on parking
was asked to broaden its study
to include cost, administrative
problems, and alternate programs
for accommodating automobiles
on campus and for reducing the j
traffic flo wthrough campus. |
The planning committee receiv
ed the report of the sub-commit-1
tee on bicycle and motorcycle ac
commodations. The number of bi
cycles on campus has been stead- ■
ily increasing in recent years. At j
the same time the number of 1
pedestrians has increased to the i
point where it is becoming un-1
safe for both groups to use the i
same paths.
Also the accommodations for
bicycles is neither sufficient nor
convenient at this time. The pro-1
posals for relieving the situation
—which will be discussed at a
later time—are that:
• The riding and parking of!
bicycles shall be allowed only in '
areas specified.
• Bicycle facilities shall be
made an essential consideration
in all new construction.
• Bicycle facilities shall be!
professionally designed and con- [
structed by an architect or land
scape architect.
H is the hope of the sub-corn-1
mittee that bicycle facilities can
become a pleasing part “of the
architecture of campus openj
spaces and buildings.” according 1
to the report. At the same time, |
the facilities should be more con-1
venientiy placed so they will
bring bike riders closer to their
destination and not obstruct the
flow of pedestrian traffic, con
tinued the report.
The preliminary report on the
Science III building was that the
building is in the architectural
planning stage. It is now on the
list of recommended action to
the 1967 legislature by the Ore
gon System of Higher Education.

in a nationally-televised debate on
Viet Nam, defending the admin

George Bundy. Bundy had been
unable to attend.
A five-minute break will follow
each speech, and a panel dis
cussion among the three men will
be held following Scalapino’s
speech and the answering of ques
tions.
“There has been . . . consider
able debate on the American in
volvement in Southeast Asia,”
said Drummonds in previewing
the conference. “I encourage that
debate.
“It is the business of a univer
sity and of every student to come
to grips with the complexities of
the American involvement in Viet
Nam and to grapple with the is
sues of war and peace.
"The Viet Nam symposium . . .
will provide an opportunity for
the expression of personal in
volvement and personal commit
ment in the quest for a solution
to the Viet Nam war.
Allen said he hoped the debate
would elicit a "viable solution,
and possible direction for United
States policy.”
