Political views ‘outdated’ By Have Beras Of the Emerald Traditional political analysis of liberal and conservative philosophies is out dated and wholly inaccurate, says Fred Kerlinger, University psychology professor. “Liberalism and conservatism are not two opposing philosophies found on a political spectrum; instead they’re total ly separate ideologies that are or thogonally related (perpendicular) to one another,” Kerlinger says. Traditional analysis places conser vatism on the right side of a continuum with liberalism to the left. Kerlinger con tends the more accurate relatonship places the two at right angles to each other. Kerlinger bases his conclusion on studies he has conducted over the past 30 years. After reading theoretical views of liberal and conservative philosophy, Needy students eligible for food The Student Food Assistance Pro gram, Students for Progressive Agenda and Food for Lane County will distribute federal surplus food free to low-income people Tuesday beginning at 9 a.m. in Room 101 EMU. Food to be distributed per person in cludes a five-pound block of cheddar cheese, a one-pound can of honey and half-pound package of butter. Eligibility criteria will be posted in front of the distribution area, where ap plicants will then sign printed statements of eligibility. People living in prepaid congregate eating and living situations, such as dormitories, frater nities, sororities and co-ops, are not eligible. r Kerlinger drew up a list ot expressions called referents. Referents are words reflecting basic tenets of the two belief systems. In some of the studies respondents were asked to choose from among cards containing these referents. Prior to sorting the cards, Kerlinger determined whether the respondent was a progressive or traditionalist. He contends that such classification is the product of a subjective judgment bas ed on the individual’s job and religious background, among other factors. Under his definition, progressives fall within the liberal camp while tradi tionalists are classified as conservative. Cards included words such as: capitalism, free enterprise, civil rights and equal rights for women. Respondents were instructed to only choose terms with which they most closely identified. Conservatives most closely identified with factors relating to religion, authori ty and free enterprise. While liberals consistently aligned themselves with factors relating to social and economic equality, civil rights, social liberalism and sexual freedom. “Since the conservative is attached to a certain set of factors, a conservative really doesn’t understand what a woman is talking about on issues of women’s rights,” Kerlinger says. Kerlinger believes all Americans have political attitudes. “I never think of moderates. Usually people lean either liberal or conser vative,” he says. “It is sheer conjecture on my part, but I believe that Americans are basically conservative.” Kerlinger is uncomfortable with ex tremists of any viewpoint. “There’s a dogmatism of the right and one of the left and they’re both bad,” he says. “I get a bad odor when a set of beliefs take on a sanctity that is almost God-given.” 1 An all-women ensemble to perform at Beall Hall The Lydian String Quartet, an all women ensemble, will perform at 8 p.m. Thursday in Beall Concert Hall as part of the music school's ongoing chamber music series.
