Bill to Remove Funds From Press Defeated a proposed referendum on re moval of student funds from Emerald and Oregana support met defeat in the ASUO Public Allairs Committee. The proposal, written by ASUO Senator Jerry Norton, asked that eight pro or con statements on four major points be included on the spring term general election ballot. The four issues dealt with student control and support of the two campus publications which at this time have ASUO funds hut not ASUO sanctions. Norton's yes or no alterna tives; • Leave the Emerald and Oregana subsidized but not con trolled by the“ASTJO • Retain subsidy of the Km erald and Oregana hut exercise controls "to insure adequate coverage and representation of the University." • Elect the editors of the Emerald and Oregana by stu dent vote. • Drop subsidy of the Em erald and Oregana with ASUO or compulory student fees. In discussion before the com mittee vote, Emerald business manager J. B. Bishop said ASUO Staff Meeting There will be a mandatory full staif Emerald meeting 7:30 tonight at the EMU. Panel Features Civil Defiance “Is the idea of breaking the law the right way of changing it?” will be examined in a Greek Focus panel tonight at 6:30 p in. in the EMI' Ballroom.

Board in conjunction with GREEK FOCUS Adults and Students: $3.00, $2.50, $2.00, $1.50 Tickets on sale at the EMU Main Desk, Mattox Pipe Shop, and Vern Meyer Insurance, 120 N. 5th, Springfield funds are only "one quarter of the total budget. The rest comes from advertising revenues, na tional, local and classified." This amounts to $1.50 per stu dent per year for 140 Emerald issues. Bishop said the Emerald is now exploring ways to go inde pendent, to publish without ASUO funds or Publications Committee controls. "It could be accomplished by this fall,” he continued, “but it would be between the Publi rations Board and ourselves, not the ASUO.” Publication would then be supported only by paid subscrip tions and advertising, like the papers at Michigan and Colora do. Responding to Norton’s point about the election of editors by general vote, Bishop felt “the popularity poll aspect of such votes and the apathy of students would be self-deferring." ‘The ASUO Publications Board selects the editors of both the Emerald and the Oregana. and then grants them complete editorial freedom to print what they wish,” Bishop continued. "Usually, the most important news items are selected be cause of lack of space. The an nouncement-type stories have to be cut to keep the paper from being a bulletin board.” Bishop also quoted last year’s survey (initiated by ASUO Vice-President Mike Donahue) as indicating that 75 per cent of those returning the question naire favored no ASUO or gen eral student control over cam pus publications policy. The bill, though defeated in committee, may still be intro duced in the ASUO Senate for deliberation. ■ ■ ■ Thornton ' Con tinned from pane I) change laws regarding mari juana is not to fluent them. "I’m not of the school that believes that you obey the laws you agree with and not the others,” he said. A student then pointed out that while University students disobey laws on alcohol without great sanction, marijuana users are prosecuted heavily. In answer, Thornton said, "The principle danger in mari juana is that it is often the be ginning of hard narcotics addic tion.” Thornton then said, “I think we have sensible laws on al cohol and I think they arc be ing enforced" and asked the questioner to see him after the program if he had "any evi dence” to the contrary. Overflow Crowd Greets Critic Northrup Frye By AMANDA WILCOX or the Emerald Standing room only—a famil iar term to all of the more fa mous performers—was applica ble to the start of literary crit ic Northrop Frye’s lecture. Frye put the jammed audi ence, which had been forced to expand into the Dads’ Room of the EMU Hailroom, at case with a warning. "If you can’t hear me, just raise your hands.” He used as his topic, ‘‘Litera ture and Society,” to cover what he felt has been a basic lack in the study of literature—its social function and relevance. Frye said the pre-Romantic notion of literature, as “a legal and harmless LSD, to bring you closer to reality,’ has taken a long time to change to fit the modern cultural world.” "Somehow,” he said, "I had a feeling that it (poetry), Shake speare and so on, were all about something else.” He said search ing for reality in works such as those was "ridiculous” and that the realistic canons were “affected.” Frye suggested that something intimately associated with poe try was a “habit of mind"— different entirely from scientific or philosophical thinking — and that many other messages are further down in the conscious ness than these. He touched on the newer works, stating that the critic Services Today For Professor Funeral services will be held today for University professor, Thomas Mundle, who died Sun day at the age of 74.

Mundle is survived by his wife, Gladys; two sons, Peter of Santa Monica, Calif., and Alan of Medina, Wash.; a sis ter, Isabelle of London, Eng land. and four grandchildren. Mundle was an assistant pro fessor emeritus of English at the University. Mundle came to the Univer sity in 1940, leaving a 12-year chairmanship of the English de partment at Albany College in Albany, Ore. Coming originally from Al loa, Scotland, Mundle received a master's degree with honors from St. Andrews University in 1923. In 1924 he came to Victoria. B. C., and joined the University of Washington fac ulty in Seattle in 1925.

Frye said poetry was art. con cerned with putting things to gether, to resemble and iden tify something opposed to the analytical mind. There is, he said, a difference between the mythical and the logical mind. Logic, he said, has developed in Western thoughts and activities, while the mythological mind has de veloped in the East, where it has been unobstructed by such objectivity. The key, Frye said, lies in religion. For here myth and log ic found some corresponding point if identity. He spoke of the Bible as poe try, favoring the theory of its basic unity, and deriding “the amusement known as New Testament criticism.” Frye said. “If you took myth out of the Bible, all that would be left is the verse out of John, “Jesus wept.” He said whatever history was accurate in the Bible was not there because it was accuracy, but to hold together the sym bolism. He went on to explain the use of mythical language for the more-than-physical world, where the Bible and mythology needed different terminology and ideas than any science, the importance of myth in the past, and the vital need for awareness of the myths that shape our lives today. The idea of a “myth mental ity,” he said, seems a certain f danger, unless the “social will” accepts its responsibilities — and keeps things in hand. At the same time he stress ed the importance of the “re tribalization of Red China,” which he compared to many similarities here, and said that so far it was not a step in the right direction. He said society may be a closed mythology, containing “a number of postulates and major premises, with every thing in the culture deduced form these premises. The alternative, Frye said, was an open mythology, with areas of free discussion and no absolute postulates. The critic’s function, he said, is to interpret artist's deeds, accept their social function, and “to be like other citizens, a watchdog of social freedom.” Oregon Daily Emerald The Oregon Daily Emerald la pub lished Monday thru Friday, Septem ber to May, except during exam and vacation periods.
