And in the final daze...
.. .they came to pass
And it came to pass that early in the morning of the last day of
the quarter there arose a multitude, smiting their books and
wailing.
And there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth, for the
day of judgment was at hand and they were sore afraid. For they
had left undone those thi ngs that they ought to have done and had
done things that they ought not to have done, and there was no
help for it.
And there were many abiding in the dorms who had kept
watch over their books all night, but it naught availeth. Yet some
there were who arose smilingly, for they had prepared them
selves the way, and made straight the path of knowledge. And
these wise ones were known to some as the burners of the
midnight oil and to others they were known as the curve raisers.
And the multitude arose and ate a hearty breakfast.
And they came to the appointed place, and their hearts were
heavy within them. And they came to pass, but some passed not,
but only passed out. And some of them repented for their riotous
living, and bemoaned their fate, but they had not a prayer. And at
the last moment came among them one known as the instructor,
he of the diabolical mind, and passed papers among them, and
went upon his way.
And many and varied were the questions asked by the in
structor but still more varied were the answers that were given, for
some of his teaching had fallen among fertile minds, others had
fallen fallow among the fellows, while still others had fallen flat.
And some there were who wrote for an hour, others wrote for
two, but some turned away sorrowful. And of these, many offered
up a little bull in hopes of pacifying the instructor, for these were
the ones who had no prayer. And when they had finished, they
gathered up their belongings and went away quietly, each in his
own direction and each vowing to himself in this manner: “I shall
never pass this way again.”
Auto insurance rates
draw legislators’ scrutiny
A driver with a history of acci
dents and drunken driving convic
tions may still pay $300 less per
year for auto insurance than a
20-year-old with a clean driving
record, the Oregon Student Public
Interest Research Group (OS
PIRG) told the House Committee
on Consumer and Business Af
fairs last week. The committee is
hearing testimony on House Bills
2516 and 2519 which would end
age discrimination in auto insur
ance.
Dave Allen, an accounting
major at Oregon State University,
pointed out that youths are in
volved in a disporportionate
number of accidents. Drivers
under 25 are 24% of the driving
population but they have 36% of
all accidents and receive 42% of
all violations. But 90% of the driv
ers under 25 did not have an acci
dent in 1974 and 62% did not have
any violations.
Refering to a study done for the
insurance industry by the Stanford
Research Institute, Allen said risk
assessment by groups such as
age, sex or marital status
penalizes individual low-risk pol
icy holders who happen to be in a
high risk group. The Stanford
study concludes there is greater
uncertainty about individual loss
in a high risk group.
OSPIRG used the insurance
industry’s own rating system to
show that the drunk driver could
actually pay $1,250 a year for in
surance while the 20-year-old
could pay $1,550.
OSPIRG told the Consumer
and Business Affairs Committee
that any form of risk assessment
that is not based on an individual’s
driving record should be
abolished. This would mean that
insurance companies could not
use the traditional risk groups of
age, sex, marital status, location
of the vehicle or type of driving.
OSPIRG suggested eliminating
risk groups would hopefully lower
the cost of insurance for the major
ity of younger drivers who drive
safely.

U.N. students to head south
Club plans basketball raffle
By TOM WOLFE
Of the Emerald
Members of the University’s
Model United Nations Club are
raffling two basketballs signed by
players and coaches of the Uni
versity team to help pay for a trip to
their regional conference next
month in San Diego.
Tickets are being sold at the
EMU main desk and other posts
on campus, according to Kim De
fenderfer, a club organizer.
The 18 students planning to at
tend the Far West Model U.N. con
ference April 13 through 16 must
earn $120 each to pay for the trip,
Defenderfer says.
ASUO Pres. Jan Oliver will
draw the two winning tickets for
the basketballs Wednesday in
167 EMU, by which time the club
hopes to collect $400 of the
$2160 needed for the trip, Defen
derfer says.
University club members plan
to represent Gabon, Nepal and
Vietnam in the San Diego confer
ence. “Vietnam isn’t a member of
the real U.N. and we will be trying
to get it accepted in the regional
simulation,” Defenderfer says.
This was the highlight of the
Seattle conference two weeks
ago, Defenderfer said, when ap
Fair deadline
set for April
Applications now are being ac
cepted for participation in the
Fourth Annual Hobby Fair, presi
dent of the Chamber Music Soci
ety of Oregon recently an
nounced.
The society along with the Port
land Public Astronomy Center is
sponsoring the event this year to
be held May 14 and 15 at the
Masonic Temple, 1119S.W. Park
Ave., Portland.
Applications may be obtained
from the Chamber Music Society
at 1935 NE 59th Ave., Portland,
97213, or the General Manager of
the Public Astronomy Center at
4904 SE 85th Ave., Portland,
97266, and must be returned by
April 10.
proximately 200 students from
Oregon and Washington rep
resented 75 to 80 countries in a
simulation of U.N. activities.
Approximately 1300 students
from the western United States in
cluding Alaska and Hawaii will
participate in the San Diego con
ference where negotiation and
debate over Vietnam’s accep
tance must begin all over again,
says Warren Westfall, another
club member.
Later in April the University will
host Oregon’s high school U.N.
simulation.
As with other simulations, dele
gates will serve on committees
like those in the real U.N. and de
bate international problems as the
countries themselves do in- New
York. This is "realistic role
playing," Defenerfer says. “Some
of the arguments are just as
ridiculous as in the real U.N.”
Defenderfer adds that the U.N.
shouldn’t be ridiculed for its tradi
tional inability to make decisions
and enforce them. “It was meant
as a forum for debate," he exp
lains.
