Mock Election Endorsements Hatfield, Straub, Ullman, Green, Porter, and Brown In addition to ASUO races, students are being asked to participate Wednesday in a mock election on several Ore gon races and one race of national interest. Because we believe student opinion to be important in these races, we olTcr these recommendations on voting in that election: For U S. senator from Oregon—Although he has not had an outstanding record as governor, we favor Mark Hatfield over Congressman Robert B. Duncan. As we have stated previously, we believe Mr. Hatfield's questioning of the war in Viet Nam shows a greater maturity of judgment than does Congressman Duncan’s blanket support. For governor of Oregon—As we said earlier in the cam paign, either man would make a good governor. But we believe Robert Straub to be superior to Tom McCall because he seems to have more definite proposals to solve the prob lems of Oregon and seems more likely to work hard to put his proposals across. For Congress, First District—We are not familiar enough with the two candidates to be able to make an endorsement. Incumbant Republican Wendell Wyatt has apparently done a competent job, but his opponent, Democrat Malcolm Cross, is also an able man and stands closer to our views on the war in Viet Nam. Beyond that, we can make no comment. For Congress, Second District—Democratic incumbant A1 Uliman has been a congressman longer than anyone else from Oregon. He is presently a member of the House Ways and Means Committee. Oregon cannot afford to turn out an experienced and able legislator in favor of his relatively inexperienced foe, Republican Everett Thoren. Congress, Third District—There can be no question for those interested in education that Democratic Congress woman Edith Green has done such for Oregon and the nation in this area. Her opponent, Republican Lyle Dean, may be a fine man, but Mrs. Green’s ability and service plainly dictates re-election. Congress, Fourth District—As we have said before, we prefer former Congressman Charles 0. Porter to State Representative John Dellenback because Mr. Porter seems to have definite positions and proposals and is more knowl edgeable on the issues he will deal with in Congress. Mr. Dellenback seems to us to equivocate a little too much. Governor of California — Governor Edmund G. “Pat” Brown has plenty of splotches on his record as governor of the biggest state in the union. What California governor of eight years wouldn’t? But he also has many solid accom plishments on his side, considering the mess he took over eight years ago. His opponent, actor Ronald Reagan, on the other hand, has no record to point to and his platform in cludes such things as suppression of student rights at the University of California at Berkeley. Mr. Brown may not be perfect, but no sensible person could vote for Ronald Reagan. “Wait! Don’t Hang That One-That’s The Candidate” I u V , P®rr Johnson, Burlingame, Clark... (Continued from 6) question whether that alone is worthy of election to the Senate without a basic under standing of other issues. We also question whether he needs to be elected to the Senate to accomplish his goal, which in our judgment is a rather secondary program. Four candidates did not appear for the interviews and so we can make no judg ment as to their qualifications. Two of them, Jan Lunan and John Reeder, we do kJ ••IHHWUlltllHiliillli-iiillimiliniiMtniiii lira.. rn n ...... ... ... .. ..—. not know. We remember Roger Gould as a fairly competent freshman class president last year, but without hearing his platform we cannot make an endorsement for the Senate. Randy Gragg ran for the Senate last spring and was defeated. We did not endorse him at that time. Unless he has changed his basically conservative orienta tion toward educational reform and the student’s role in the University we would find it difficult to endorse him this time. ..1 ■ i;i|| Emerald Editor: All letters to the editor must be typewritten and double spaced.

His approach to problems is a refreshing blend of irrever ant cynicism and coherent ideal ism. A mountain climber, a psy chologist, and a genuine radi cal, with an amazingly free, cre ative and open mind, he will be a brilliant addition to the Senate. Dan Perry Senior, Journalism Craig McKern Sophomore, Journalism • * * Stan Wolf Emerald Editor: In the election of a senator at-large, one of the most im portant qualifications a candi date should have is the ability to innovate practical and ade quate solutions to old problems, as well as to have the ability to make new and beneficial pro posals. As I am a candidate for sen ator-at-large, I would like to take this time to answer this challenge in stating some of my proposals. 1. Computer registration — Raising of funds to begin reg istration immediately instead of the fall of 1968 as planned. 2. Finance Committee — To study departments as they com pare to other major universities in equipment, staff, and curric ulum. 3. Course evaluation — a uni versal example; new easy-to read graphs and instructions; expanding the size of the re search committee—one for each department; survey of how stu dents like courses to be tough so that the University might set up various sections accordingly. 4. Pass - or - no - pass — Any student allowed to take any number of hours outside his ma jor now with 150 grade hours in major, later the departments’ establishment of pass-or-no-pass courses in major. 5. Work - study programs — Credit with pay in many fields. 6. Student Senate report—A report presented to the faculty on major issues that affect the students, such as the Aberle bill, prepared by the Senate while faculty-proposed bills are in committee, and read to fac ulty by student representative prior to faculty voting. 7. Student discount program —To re-establish program; the addition of clothing stores, drug stores, and more gas stations; informing the students of lo cations of stores, especially the freshmen. 8. Student exchange program —Exchanging of students with major universities over the country, the exchanging of stu dents at major scnoois in Eu rope and other parts of the world. I hope that through these and other proposals I have made, I have answered this challenge and you find them both beneficial and worthy of your approval. If so, I would very much appreciate your support and your vote on Wed nesday. Stanley Wolf Candidate for ASUO Senator-at-Large * * * Thanks for Support Emerald Editor: I would like to thank you, and all those connected with the Emerald for the great job they hacve done in reporting, and following the primary election. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all those who donated much of their time to help me throughout my cam paign. Although I was very disap pointed with the freshman turnout, I do realize that I lost in a tough race to two great guys. May I wish the best of luck to my opposition, Keith Renne and Mark Levy, throughout the general election, and may I en courage the freshman class to get out and vote this coming Wednesday. It’s an important election, one that all freshmen should be aware of, and conscious of. This election, may very well mean a successful or an unsuccessful freshman class. We can’t have only 600 peo ple deciding for a class of nearly 3,000. Every freshman has a vote, and I expect every freshman to make use of this privilege. By all means vote. I would like to suggest that voting booths be placed in all dormitories for the general elec tion. This was done last year, and was found to be a more effec tive way of drawing voters. Thanks again for everything. Bob Dependahl Former candidate for Freshman Class Vice President Who Needs a Democrat? Emerald Editor: The time has come, I see, [or all good editors to begin telling their audiences who the right man is in the coming election, and if they have to distort the truth a little to do it, who’s going to know? Just as long as we don’t elect any dirty old men with a conservative leaning or two, or one of those crude few that preach fiscal responsibility, it’s all right. The campaign advertisement that appeared at the top of the Emerald's editorial page Fri day made me glad that most of the Emerald’s readers can’t vote yet, for not only was it very convincing, but also very mis leading. McCall did not state in the debate that he favored selling our water down the river. In fact, he said something to the effect that “we must not submit to the demands of the water pirates from the Southwest.” But he also realizes that one can’t just rant and rave about it; he must also back up his stand with well documented facts. That is what McCall pro poses to do. So Straub has been specific on the tax situation. If his pro posal is sound, who is to say that McCall wouldn’t use it if he is elected? What kind of program does Straub have on the air pollution problem he’s always crying about. McCall has a 16 point program which will curb industrial pollution. I noticed that during the de bate, McCall commented on the importance of a balance of edu cation at all levels, whereas Straub did not even mention education. This might indicate his concern over the matter, an important one which should be getting more attention from a “future governor.” The state would not suffer irreparable damage if Robert Straub were elected, but with the Republicans down as bad as they are now, who needs an other Democrat?
