The other two are Paige Jackson and someone who will be named in the fall. Travis and Jackson's appointments were confirmed by the ASUO Senate at its meeting June 28. Travis was interviewed by the Emerald last week (Jackson is out of town for the summer.' Ths ASUO is more powerful and more respected by the "grown-up administration” than most student governments, Travis says. He credits this to the “good people” who have worked in ASUO government over the past few years, especially the 1971-72 ASUO President Iain More and Vice President Larry Salmony. A few years ago, Travis says, the ASUO was only concerned about things like Homecoming and Parents’ Weekend, but now it is concerned with programs that directly involve and benefit the student. Travis says of his background, "I come right out of the radical left.” Three years ago he was a member of a strike committee and "was the only member that didn’t get busted.” He worked as Administrative Assistant to 1970 71 ASUO president Ron Eachus and worked last year on com mittee appointments. He has always been interested in student government and is currently writing a treatise on student government in the post industrial society. He has also been active in national politics. Last winter he worked on Paul McCloskey’s presidential campaign. While he was in the Marine Corps in Hawaii in 1968, he worked on Robert Kennedy’s campaign. "I got a lot of flak from the Marines about that,” he says, "working for an anti-war candidate.” Travis is also a writer. Two years ago he wrote a regular column for the Emerald called “Apocalypse.” Next year he plans to submit another column dealing wuth the ASUO. He is a history major and is writing two books, one about Oregon history and one about Hitler. He also plans to get a degree in biology.

Known as the Nag Hammadi Codex VI, the book is the first in a projected series of 10 volumes of photofacsimilies of documents which date back to the fourth century A.D. The originals were first discovered 27 years ago by peasants digging in a graveyard near Nag Hammadi in central Egypt. The workers unearthed a jar containing 13 leather-encased, papyrus books, known as codices, which contained previously untold stories of Jesus and the »1 1365 Villard Street | Phone 345-9614 1925 River Rd.

According to Jack Sanders d the department of religion studies, the codices contain little of traditional Christian lore, although some familiar naraa and places are mentioned. The codices, which are d uncertain origin, conceal themselves with Gnosticism, i religious philosophy of salvatia by revealed knowledge popular during the pre-Christian and early Christian eras Gnosticis* could be either pagan or, Christian and the Nag Hamrrai writings express a blend d Christian and other ideas.
