Cartoonist to roast media
Two-time Pulitzer Prize win
ner Jeff MacNelly, syndicated
cartoonist from the Chicago
Tribune, will give the Universi
ty's seventh annual Ruhl Lec
ture on Tuesday at 7:30 p m. in
the EMU Ballroom
The 34-year-old cartoonist is
expected to take “a whimsical
look at journalistic ethics and
press performance ''
MacNelly’s editorial cartoons
appear in about 500 news
papers nationwide He won a
Pulitzer in 1972 and again in
1978 for his editorial cartoons,
but he left that field almost a
year ago to concentrate on his
comic strip "Shoe,” which is
carried by 800 papers Last
March, MacNelly joined the staff
of the Tribune and resumed
editorial cartooning
"I thought the country had
straightened out eight months
ago, but I see we did not, so it
was time to come back," Mac
Nelly said. "I really missed edi
torial cartooning I thought that
through the strip I could vent my
spleen and be funny at the same
time But when it came to
humor, there's no substitute for
reality and politicians,” he said
MacNelly, originally from New
York City, graduated from
Phillips Academy in Andover,
Mass , and then attended the
University of North Carolina He
started as a $l20-a-week artist
and cartoonist for a weekly
newspaper in Chapel Hill, N.C.,
and from 1971 to 1980 he was
an editorial cartoonist for the
Richmond, Va., News Leader.
In addition to the Pulitzers,
MacNelly has won the Reuben
Award of the National Cartoon
ist’s Society twice as well as the
George Polk Award.
MacNelly's lecture ends the
University’s Ruhl Symposium,
sponsored by the journalism
school and funded by the
Robert H. Ruhl Endowment.
The endowment was created by
Mabel Ruhl of Medford as a
memorial to her late husband, a
long-time editor and publisher
of the Medford Mail-Tribune.
SUAB elects Allen chairer
The Student University Affairs
Affairs Board on Thursday
elected Dan Allen as its new
chairer and Lori Kleinsmith as
vice chairer
Allen, who has served on the
board since October, replaces
Gale Graham, a two-year SUAB
member An interim chairer will
replace Allen during the sum
mer while he attends school in
Europe
Allen says he will allocate
more time to lobbying the
University Senate and the state
Legislature, an effort he says
has been lacking this year
Irregular attendance by board
members which has plagued
SUAB meetings this year must
be changed. Allen said
In addition to elections, the
board also approved a proposal
to be presented at Wednesday's
University Senate assembly.
The plan would establish a six
member student committee to
work alongside the Faculty Ad
vising Committee, rather than
SUAB appointing a member to
the faculty board.
“Students have always taken
the third level under the faculty
and administration here," said
Graham. “There are more
students to represent, but the
faculty outnumbers us on the
committees "
“To put students in with
faculty members would cause
conflict here," said Jack
Sanders, a University religious
studies professor who ad
dressed the board. “What
students want with the budget
and what the faculty wants are
entirely different.”
SUAB also unanimously ap
proved three amendments to its
bylaws. The first states that only
elected board members can be
selected as SUAB chairer and
vice chairer — an issue Graham
has been especially concerned
with due to the selection of a
non-elected SUAB member as
chairer two years ago.
The other bylaw amendments
specify that SUAB members
cannot miss two consecutive
meetings and that they must
serve on at least one campus
committee.
ACLU
Constitutional questions, I refer
to cooperating volunteer attor
neys who research the problem
and report to the Southern Dis
trict Lawyers' Committee.”
The 15-member committee
then decides whether or not to
get involved To date, 25 cases
have been referred to volunteer
attorneys, but only a handful
have been approved for par
ticipation
The attorneys get absolutely
no pay — any fees recovered in
a successful action go the the
ACLU, "So we don't load attor
neys up with inconsequential,
minor cases,” Fidanque says
■‘We're picky about things we
take on and we have to be.”
Many of the requests initially
filtered out by Fidanque
because they don't raise Con
stitutional questions have to do
with employment discrimination
or child custody. He refers em
ployment problems to the State
Bureau of Labor and custody
questions to private attorneys
Even so, if a case the union
takes doesn't look to set new
precedent and expand in
dividual rights, it’s usually of a
type Findanque calls "esoteric”

— of apparently limited general
interest.
For example, the union has
filed briefs on the side of two of
the three adult bookstores raid
ed Jan. 7. ACLU challenges the
validity of the warrants. Lane
County Circuit Court Judge
James Hargreaves has ruled in
favor of the bookstores on the
grounds that the warrants, hav
ing failed to particularly de
scribe the property to be seized,
constituted Constitutional viola
tions of both free speech and
search and seizure procedure.
