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 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.

Emerald classifieds get results
and the possibility of govern
ment surveillance, Schwartz
said that doesn’t mean these
groups aren't being watched.
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.
