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.

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

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.

Greg Johnson
Emerald Editor:
Articulate and incisive, Greg
Johnson is clearly the outstand
ing candidate for senator-at
large. 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.

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.

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.

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?
