Calistus Ndlovu. a United Nations representative from Zimbabwe,
expressed his discontent with Rhodesia's interim government on
campus Friday. Pres Ian Smith's plan is only a concession to pacify
the Blacks, he said.
Forensic request
sparks debate
Incidental Fee Committee (IFC) budget hearings continued last
week with several groups receiving approval for allocations.
The major controversy of Thursday s meeting centered around the
forensic team's request for travel funds.
At a preliminary hearing, IFC had completely cut out the travel
funds because of low team turnout and low level of competition, said
Doug Benson, IFC chairer
After two hours of spicy debate Thursday, the committee approved
S5.488.71 for travel for the forensic team. The team had requested
S7.071.25. The total forensics budget represents a 10 percent de
crease from last year, with the majority due to the cut in travel funds.
Daie Buckley, director of forensics, said he was not happy with the
budget amount approved and that he plans to appeal the decision to
Gary Feldman. ASUO president.
Buckley said 23 students compete for the forensic squad but be
cause of a lack of funds, only a few can go to weekly speech tourna
ments held at northwest universities and colleges.
Also Thursday, the committee approved a budget of $3,929.43 for
the ASUO comptroller. That amount allows an increase in salary for the
comptroller to $200 a month.
The Oregon Student Lobby received approval for $ 10.642 from IFC
funds. That represents a decrease of 28 percent from last year which is
a reflection of a smaller enrollment of full-time students.
The Jewish Student Union (JSU) received funds of $2,545.50
which is almost $500 less than its request, but JSU program director
Eden Abram said she was 'happy’' with the result.
No major conflicts arose when the IFC reconvened Friday. Most
groups wer given all funds requested or were cut by a minimal amount.
The first group. University Theater, received $14,000. This money
subsidizes the half price ticket for students. The budget was approved
6-1, with Janet Eggleston dissenting.
Eggleston said she felt the group should be held to a five percent
increase, as many other ASUO groups have been. The Univeristy
Theater received $2,000 more than last year, a seven percent increase.
Jeff Warren said he thought the five percent qrowth limit shouldn't
strictly apply to all programs' but acioe f that the ASUO budget as a
whole should be kept to a five oercent expansion.
Dave Tyler suggested the figure was sometimes used as a cop
out m cutting program budgets.
After little discussion. Women in Science received $609 71. about
a $90 decrease from last year Recreational Folk Dance was given
S2.070. Switchboard received $2,215.79
The Foreign Student Organization s budget was unanimously ap
proved after some money was cut Tom the salary line 'tern. The total
figure awarded was $6,783.08. down 20 percent from last year s
budget.
The IFC gave Action Now. a tool lending organization $4.156.59 to
operate next year. A new truck was cut from the budget but some of that
money was reinserted to allow the group to purchase automotive tools
Off-Campus Housing was given S7 870 83 after lengthy discus

‘Smith’s plan is a puppet show’
By TOM WOLFE
Of the Emerald
A United Nations representative from Zimbabwe
(Rhodesia) warned a University audience Friday that
White Zimbabwians must psychologically adjust to
the future — If their fall is sudden and catastrophic,
they must realize it was caused by their own foolish
ness.''
Calistus Ndlovu, a history and political science
professor schooled in Zimbabwe, is a U.N. represen
tative for the Patriotic Front of Zimbabwe.
Ndlovu discredited recent settlement attempts
from Rhodesian Pres. Ian Smith and supported
armed struggle as the only practical means of secur
ing majority rule in his country.
"We have not sacrificed all these lives for the
kind of solution offered by Smith," he declared.
That settlement calls for 72 black representa
tives in the country's Congress of 100 and supports
employment tenure and property rights.
The black Zimbabwian says these provisions
are sophisticated mechanisms of supremacy that
circumvent the issues by appealing to democratic
platitudes.
"They give us 72 votes and then require 78 for
passage of any legislation. They extend property
rights and then declare all land inhabited by blacks is
simply occupied,’ — The interim government
Smith has set up is nothing but a puppet show.
Ndlovu said the so-called settlement" plan of
fered by Smith is the "Kissinger plan lock, stock and
barrel. It leaves all institutions of power in the hands
of the minority regime and entrenches the official
apartheid system that has characterized the Smith
government"
"We are calling for minority rule," declared
Ndlovu. We cannot accept a system that clings to
white supremacy even through black faces. We re
not fighting for racial interests, we re fighting for
human interests."
After graduating from college in the early
1960s, Ndlovu was detained in prison and later fled
from his country to appeal from the outside. In 1975,
he participated in the first negotiations with Ian Smith
— negotiations which soon broke down.
"From the start. Smith had nothing but contempt
for the blacks." recalled Ndlovu. We participated in
the talks in order to leave people with no doubt about
what Smith stood for.
"Ten or 15 years ago we may have accepted the
kind of settlements Smith has offered — but not now.
We believe it is better to die on our feet than live on
our knees.

WHY ISHT DRAUGHT BEER
SPELLED DRAFT BEER?
This is one of those unanswerable questions, like. “Which came first,
the chicken or the colonel?"
However, discussing it can be quite rewarding.
So. as your Dean of Beer. 1 suggest you gather a group of fellow
scholars and ponder the question over a significant sample of draught
Schlitz. (Or is it draft-3)
This procedure is known, in layman's terms, as a “Beer Party"
This will undoubtedly raise a question for further study: Why does it
taste so good?
To obtain proper research materials, consult the Yellow' Pages for the
name of your local Schlitz distributor.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE SCHLITZ,
YOU DON'T HAVE GUSTO.
