Senate supports Frei, makes appointments
By JOHN PIPER
Of tbe Emerald
Everything ran smoothly at
Thursday nights’ ASUO Senate
meeting—until appointments
were considered.
The Senate quickly disposed of
10 bills, but couldn’t come to an
agreement on one appointment
from the ASUO Executive.
A petition by ASUO President
Ian More stating support of
former Oregon football coach
Jerry Frei was endorsed by a
voice vote of Senators. More said
he also hoped students would be
included in the process of
selecting a new coach.
The appointment of Larry
Salmony as the graduate
representative to the ad hoc
Budget Review ran into stiff
opposition from several Senators.
The Governing Committee voted
4-3 against the appointment, with
one abstention.
Several members objected that
Salmony had already over
committed himself by working on
numerous committees, and he
wouldn’t have time to take on
another responsibility.
ASUO Administrative
Assistant A1 King defended
Salmony, saying Salmony
wouldn’t have offered to take the
job if he knew he wouldn’t have
enough time for it.
In a somewhat unusual move,
the Senate voted to refer the
appointment back to the
Governing Committee and
charged them with seeking a
recommendation on appointees
from the Graduate Student
Council.
After much discussion, the
Senate approved the appointment
of Chesley Reybum as director of
the Draft and Military In
formation Center (DMIC).
The Governing Committee had
voted 5-3 against the ap
pointment, but ASUO Chief
Administrative Assistant
DeNorval Tate said he didn’t
think their objections were
“substantial or clear.”
Former senator John Koford
objected to Reyburn’s ap
pointment because he hasn’t been
trained in draft counseling and
“he doesn’t want tight internal
control” of the Center.
Senator Alan Alef agreed with
Koford, saying if Reybum is
hired “to be an administrator, he
should administrate.’’
‘The most important thing is to
be able to coordinate the ac
tivities of the DMIC,” Tate
concluded, and Reybum was
“the best of the four applicants’’
interviewed.
The appointment was approved
by a 21-6 vote.
Five other Executive ap
pointments and one appointment
by ASUO Senate President
Stephanie Larsen were quickly
approved. They are: Mary Don
and Dong Hill to the Student
Administrative Board, Bonnie
Kooser as assistant ASUO con
troller, David Sonnenfeld to the
Emerald Board, and Jeff Jef
ferson as the undergraduate
representative to the ad hoc
Budget Review.
Ms. Larsen appointed Greg
Walther to replace Gordon King
as chairman of the Community
Affairs Committee. King had
resigned for academic reasons.
The Senate also approved the
following motions:
—That the Senate establish an
ad hoc Committee on marijuana
and marijuana related problems
to investigate and correlate
student activities regarding
marijuana. Introduced by Allan
Hytowitz.
—That the Senate encourage
the Oregon courts to over-rule the
statute that bars 18-20 year-olds
from purchasing, possessing or
using alcoholic beverages, and
that the Senate encourage 18-20
year-old individuals to petition
the legislature, etc., to gain this
privilage. Introduced by Allan
Hytowitz.
—That the Senate approve a $30
per month increase in the salary
of the assistant director of the
Cultural Forum, effective Feb. 1.
Introduced by Rolf Hage.
—That the Senate recommends
the Academic Occasions Com
mittee explore alternatives to the
present commencement exer
cises. Introduced by Gordon
King.
—That two students be ap
pointed from the ASUO
Executive as voting members on
both the Liberal Arts Personnel
Committee and the Professional
Schools Personnel Committee.
Introduced by Pat Mackin.
—That the Senate support and
encourage Dr. Glenn Starlin’s
Hatfield calls for ‘faith in the individual’
By NEAL ROSEN
Of the Emerald
Senator Mark Hatfield chose a
Eugene banquet honoring in
dividual citizens to call for more
faith in the individual in solving
the country’s problems.
Hatfield, speaking to the an
nual Distinguished Service
Awards Banquet in Eugene last
night, attacked the search for
bigness and noted that “the in
dividual has almost lost
relevance. We should realize that
only the composite strength of
individuals make up our
society,” he continued.
Oregon’s senior Senator told
the audience of 350 that he was
encouraged by the activities of
young people. “Why they exhibit
erratic behavior and un
conforming dress, they are
saying something to us. They are
trying to make the individual
relevant again.’’
Hatfield said this “bigness”
has permeated both government
and business. “In 1900, the
government collected five billion.
This year it will collect probably
$240 billion. Additionally, state
and local government will take
$150 billion of your tax dollar.”
Hatfield said all the country’s
problems couldn’t be solved by
government. He noted that there
was an increasing reliance on
government to solve the
problems. “I can’t accept the
band-aid approach to our
problems that is taken in political
circles today.” He singled out
President Nixon’s revenue
sharing plan as an example of
this band-aid approach.
He labeled many of the
government programs “pater
nalistic” and called for the de
centralization of government
agencies. “I fear many of these
programs have been formulated
at the expense of federalism.”
Moving to the dominance of big
business in the nation, Hatfield
attacked federal laws and tax
regulations which favored big
business and discouraged the
small businessman.
He enumerated several efforts,
in the form of bills, that he and
other Congressmen are
proposing to aid small
businesses. One bill would allow
the first $25,000 of corporation
Arms limitation, disarmament
urged by Senate candidate
“The time has come for new beginnings (in U.S.
foreign policy (based on the idealism of
America,” Oregon Senator Don Willner told about
25 listeners at the Kiwanis Club meeting Thursday
noon, held at Valley River Center.
Willner criticized the Nixon Administration for
mishandling U.S. foreign policy in Southeast Asia,
saying, “After three years, the war continues in
Indochina, even though we were told it would end.”
The senator, who announced his Democratic
candidacy for U.S. senator Jan. 3, detailed specific
areas of damage America has caused South
Vietnam alone.”
Besides the cost in human lives, he stated,
“Our bombing has left 20 million craters, and we
have defoliated one-eighth of Vietnam’s acreage.”
But Willner’s dissatisfaction with Nixon’s foreign
policy does not end with Vietnam. In other areas of
the world, the U.S. “continues to burn bridges to our
friends. Japan is alienated by our diplomacy
with China, while South America and Africa are
overrun by dictators, many of whom oppress their
people with American guns.
“Even in our closest neighbor, Canada, anti
Americanism is prevalent.” But Willner noted such
an attitude is common within the U.S. as well.
“Never have the American people been so
distrustful of other countries and of our role in the
world.”
To correct this situation, Willner proposes a
return to “traditional American idealism” in
deciding foreign policy. He supports six major
objectives:
— All troops be withdrawn from Indochina. He
emphasized. “I do not see what constructive pur
pose we are serving by staying in Vietnam. The war
should be ended.”
anymore nuclear tests. If other countries do, then
we will review our testing policy.”
In discussing arms limitation in general, Willner
said, “We must be willing to take the first steps on
our own. I believe in a strong defense posture, but
we should be willing to innovate, to experiment—the
world can’t last if both sides keep building up (their
defense).”
According to the senator, the U.S. should help
underdeveloped nations learn to help themselves
through aid “channeled primarily through in
ternational organizations or donated and
distributed by groups of nations.”
During an informal question and answer period
held at the EMU Thursday afternoon, which ten
students attended, Willner contrasted his proposed
foreign aid policy with Nixon’s. “I’m in favor of the
Peace Corps. This is what American foreign policy
should be about, where Americans teach others the
technological skills they need to help themselves.
I don’t think you score points if a box of food in
Bengladesh says ‘made in the U.S.’ or ‘made in
Russia.’ I don’t think you make friends on those
terms.”
He also explained his stance concerning a
voluntary army vs. a draft lottery. “In times of
national peril, I prefer use of a Selective Service
system; otherwise we’d have an army of poor and
Blacks. We need citizen involvement or the military
would involve us in overseas activities that nobody
cares about.”
But in times of peace he favors a “voluntary
military with a draft lottery backup.”

profit to be tax-free. “This would
have little effect on the nation’s
budget, and it would encourage
and help the small
businessman.”
In another bill aimed more at
the small investor, Hatfield
proposes that the first $300
earned by investment, be tax
free. He said this would en
courage more investment by
ordinary citizens, and not leave
the investing in the hands of a
few.
