Bob Lanier's sneakers were a shoe-in to win a Sasquatch award in the Freedom Train’s sports exhibit. Train_ while it is not for the squeamish, it is a superb example of technological inanity lifted to a level of artistry that has seldom seen an equal. Sports, highlighted by car seven, has got to be the sen timental favorite, liberally laced with tiny motion picture screens re-running great plays of the century and displaying the bushel-basket footwear of basketball near-great Bob Lanier. Number eight, which specializes in the performing als, has some nice stuff, in cluding an architectural montage of whacked-up movie marquees and a few mini-screens showing Fred Astaire puttin' on his top hat while an Oscar and an Emmy look on. The next car, however, is the undisputed winner of the whole schmeer. Through some truly fine examples of such American favorites as Homer, Wyeth and Remington, this “fine arts” exhibit brings a needed touch of (Continued from Page 1) class to the garish style of the exhibits in general, and with the lilting background of Gershwin’s “American in Paris” it provides a welcome chance for the viewer to catch his patriotic breath. The Freedom Train is definitely not the greatest American in vention since the Spaghetti-O. The conveyor belt is too fast, the Army flunkies who continually grunt “watch your step” quickly become a nuisance, and the plethora of hawkers selling tons of “Freedom Train” mugs and bumper stickers can send one racing to his little red book. But in the final analysis, anyone with a couple of spare hours (and a couple of spare bucks to match) should check the thing out. It’s really not too bad, and even if we do manage to keep Jefferson’s “noble experiment” going, the Tricentennial Freedom Train is a long way off.

Manager 344-9782 Stewart, Bylund address District 41 Democrats By TOM FLUHARTY Of the Emerald John Stewart, a University student, announced Wednesday night that he intends to run again for the District 41 seat in the Oregon House of Representatives in 1976. The announcement came at a meeting of District 41 Democrats. See related story on page 5. In other business at the meeting, Ken Bylund, county assessor, discussed tax law changes and his problems with the Lane County Administration. One of the biggest changes, he said, is due to an administrative ruling by the Oregon Department of Revenue that allows renters who failed to file for renters relief to now collect retroactively for those years. Bylund also stated that proof of rent payments is no longer required. This saves a person from running around to old landlords and collecting rent receipts, he explained. However, as Bylund understands it, if the revenue department decides to audit a renter, proof must be submitted just as in the case of income taxes. Persons wishing more in formation should contact the revenue department. Another change is that county appraisers will no longer inspect improvements on a house every time a building permit is taken out, Bylund said. Houses will now be brought up to market values in 6-year cycles. Jack Delay, District 41 Democratic chairer, explained to persons attending the meeting some of the changes in the delegate selection process. Delegates to the national convention will be selected by precinct committee persons who will be elected in the May, 1976 primary election. Oregon law now requires persons running for committee to list their presidential choice or list themselves as uncommitted. Delegates will be awarded to presidential candidates on the basis of the number of votes they receive in the primary. #25® HAND BOOK MAN RESTAURANT on campus NOW OPEN ON SUNDAY 5-9 pjn.
