And selling off a dorm is the perfect way to raise funds, the realtor says. After all, imposing fines on dorm residents only brings in so much ready cash. University housing Director Dan Williams claims the Spiller sale is only a “trial balloon" designed to test the market for college buildings. If the Univer sity makes enough off the Spiller deal, it may run full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal to attract investors to campus, Williams says. “Who knows what we ll offer next?” Confidentially, Williams says that “for the right price, we can throw in the dorm re sidents." While a real-estate boom in University buildings looms, Wil liams reminds those wo rried about the current land specula tion that the University is re serving all mineral rights on property sold. Prospective buyers are shown around “the place” by the Donaldson agent, who dou bles as resident assistant. IT S YOUR MONEY WE'RE SPENDING OVER $2,000,000 OF IT! DO YOU CARE WHERE IT GOES?

Photo by Erich Boekelheide Prospective buyers examine Spiller Residence Hall, a real estate deal offered by "Donaldson Realty. ” He proudly shows visitors the hall’s obvious advantages, pointing out the fine view of Robbins women’s dorm, the close proximity of Franklin Boulevard’s fast-foodland and the pleasant smell continually wafting in from Williams Bakery. No mention, however, of the huge semis that arrive to load bread at 3 a m. The agent is especially proud of the dorm's “park-like set ting,” including carefully trimmed spiny bushes bedded in bark dust and 60,000 square feet of torn-up turf. The building itself is charm ing: “Newly remodeled in early American concrete” the ad says. No doubt done by the same people who brought us freeway overpasses. One prime selling point is that the 86 Spiller residents have already completed innovative interior decoration on most floors. Prospective buyers should be pleased to see the Ozone Layer's (fourth floor’s) St. Valentine's Day Massacre wall paintings — brown, blood stain-like streaks the length of the hall. If that doesn't clinch the sale, nothing will. Political groups are targets of surveillance, says lawyer Ideological enemies of the left wing are using surveillance and other means of repression to subdue various political groups, a member of the National Lawyers Guild said Saturday at the University law school. “We are suspects, and we are enemies,” said Jack; Sch wartz. Schwartz tagged various political groups as targets for possible government surveil lance and urged those groups to learn to use "physical self preservation." "People have to learn to pro tect themselves — it’s that sim ple." Schwartz included groups such as the anti-nuclear movement, anti-draft organiza tions and the Communist Party on the list of likely candidates for investigation. Although mostt politically ac tive groups in Oregon are isolated from Washington, D.C.

He advised political groups to protect themselves from un necessary carelessness and urged groups to know the peo ple they work with and to keep duplicate copies of important documents. Schwartz said there are al ways “provocateurs” who join specific organizations to disrupt things, and they can be a threat to any political movement. Pres. Ronald Reagan’s ad ministration is working on a plan to weed out “un-American dis sidents,” Schwartz said. The administration hopes to achieve this through repeated speeches and surveillance of law-abiding protesting groups, he said. But Schwartz warned against paranoia. The govern. ment has the resources but not necessarily the ability, he said. Schwartz also warned that 'the Freedom of Information Act is "going down the tubes,” and unless citizens work avidly for its preservation it may be a lost reform. Persons interested in more information about the NLG should contact the law school, he said. Schwartz has represented Native Americans in California, Iowa, New York and Oregon and is a former staff member of the Wounded Knee Legal Defense Committtee.
