SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 1981 Oregon State University Governor Mark Hatfield (has) signed the bill which will officially change the name of Oregon State College to Oregon State University ninety days after the adjournment of the present legisla tive session. The desire of the administration, faculty and many alumni for the name change does not re flect academic snobbery or the need to "bolster the institutional ego" as some have accused, but more adequately describes the caliber, level and character of the educational program. Ken Munford, Director of Publications at Or egon State, points out that "one pressure for change has come from contacts with universities and university people m toreign countries, in many parts of the world, especially where English influence has dominated higher education, the examining and degree-granting authority is al ways the University. Colleges may exist geo graphically separate from one another but they are still Dart of a university. This is one reason university people in other lands have a hard time understanding how a large institution of complex organization can be called a college."

TTHE new name should be a challenge to Oregon State's faculty and students. It should inspire an even greater mission in the education field and desire to till the university s obligation in world-wide society. It should aid in the attraction to our faculty of young, well-qualified people in the teaching and research fields. It should re-emphasize that Oregon State is first and foremost an intellectual institution con cerned with knowledge for its own sake. It should help students recognize main purpose in attending Oregon State and not allow it to become a side-show in the midst ot a multitude of campus activities.

The Corvallis Gazette-Times About Diamond Peak Diamond Peak, a massive, glacier-slashed vol cano of ancient days that straddles the southern Cascades to form a triangle with Odell and Cres cent Lakes, is being considered for development as a ski area. The proposal that Diamond Peak be desig nated for improvement as Eugene and is receiving mote the move, the "Mt. has been formed. Before such development could be under taken, the area would have to be reclassified from its present "wild" status. The reclassification would open the high isolated region, fringed by forests, to mass recreation. ATA RECENT meeting in Eugene, the ski area development plan was discussed. There was no debate over the suggested reclassification of the area. Possibly opponents We seem to recall that only a few years ago many Eugene people were up when a move to change the 1 hree bisters primitive area was launched. A fact-finding committee of 13, all exper ienced skiers, has been a field study of Diamond tentialities. Apparently there are some who fear that Diamond Peak's above-timberline weather would not be the best for skiing, as is true at Bachelor when storms whip over the Three Sisters Cas cades, and also at Timberline when Hood is in the grip of storms. Others say the bold, steep slopes of Diamond Peak would pose safety problems. A forest serv ice ranger noted danger of avalanches. XE WHO have noted the beauty of the ice " sculptured pinnacles of Diamond Peak and have admired the lone majesty of the mountain astride the Cascades regret that an effort may be made to open the region regret is sharpened by the recent news that long isolated Waldo lake on the Cascade ridge north of Diamond Peak, is to be opened to mass recreation.

SOEi HOW TO POP A PAPER I r Li 8 I Matter of Fact Washington - Under the bright, renovated surface of President Kennedy's Washing ton, there is a s o m ber, un s e e n process f of self - ques tioning that is really more ,f meani ngful man an me public bustle. The central question being asked is: Alsop "Where must the line be drawn?" If one had to pin down the moment when this question was first quite nakedly posed for the Kennedy administra tion, the best time lo choose would probably be the day before the inauguration, Jan. i. ilie President-elect took time out from the celebra tions, on Jan. 19, for a meet ing at the White House with his departing predecessor. The purpose was a last frank talk between Kennedy and Eisen hower about the problems Kennedy was so soon to in herit. The meeting, as will be re called, was fairly formal, with former Secretary of State Her ter and former Secretary of Defense Gates among those present on the Eisenhower team. At this meeting, Presi dent Eisenhower and his policy-makers, speaking almost as though it were a matter of course, warned Kennedy that American armed intervention in Laos might, quite easily be come necessary. ASA result, one of Kenne dy's first acts as President was to ask the Joint Chiefs of Staff what troops we could put in if we had to Intervene in Laos, and what troops the other side could put in if counter-intervention were de cided upon. As can be imag ined, in view of the large armies of Communist North Vietnam and Communist Chi na just across the Loatian border, the Joint Chiefs' an swer was bleak In the ex treme. The sequel was the Ken nedy administration's attempt to "neutralize" Laos without accepting Communist control there, by making the Laotian situation the joint responsibil ity of the Malayan, Burmese, and Cambodian governments. That attempt failed, because the plan was rejected by Cam bodia under Moscow and Pe king pressure. Since then, and especially In the last fortnight, the ad ministration's self-questioning has centered primarily upon the crisis in Laos. The situa tion there is regarded as very much more dangerous than the better publicized crisis in the Congo. The time remain ing for decisive action may be very short indeed, since it is possible that the Communist forces will launch a well-supplied offensive aimed at clear cut military victory within the next 30 days.

O ty Buuutt Cert. DiaulbuUl by Kim !se,turu Syndicate Menace 1 just showed BAG I By Joseph Alsop rpO MAKE matters worse, -- the British and French gov ernments have been strongly pressing President Kennedy to accept a concealed surren der in Laos with the best grace he can. The formula proposed is the installation of an allegedly "neutral" Lao tian government, headed by Prince Souvanna Phouma, the neutralist half-brother of the Communist leader, Prince Souvanna Vong. In the unanimous judgment of the American experts, ac ceptance of this formula will unavoidably mean eventual Communist control of Laos. The American experts are equally unanimous that once Laos falls under effective Communist control, the Com munist guerrillas in South Vietnam will be on their way to easy victory. After these two Communist successes, all South East Asia will be open to Communist p e n e tration and there will also be the gravest repercussions in Japan and the rest of northern Asia. But in these harsh circum stances, advocates of a strong stand in Laos are only to be found here in the Kennedy administration, and in the gov ernments of the Philippines and of Thailand. - TT CAN be seen, then, that - the necessity which the Ei senhower policy-makers warn ed about last Jan. 19 is not all pleasant to contemplate- especially as there is no way to insure the defense of Laos except to "escalate" upwards towards a threat of general war. Yet if Laos first, and then all of South East Asia are successively abandoned, it is hard to see how the West ern nations' road can go any where but downward in the rest of the world. The rest of the world has to be considered. For Laos, though now the most urgent is not the only crisis-point which raises the question where the line should be drawn. There is a kind of gamut of such points, ranging all the way from Laos, where the choice is most difficult, to Berlin, where Kennedy has made his choice already and in public. Even Berlin has been the subject of a much loo little noticed message from Nikita S. Khrushchev to German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer The Khrushchev letter and memorandum, while polite enough in tone, rather openly hinted at a grab for Berlin before the end of the year if Berlin had not been handed over first. These are the reasons why the members of the inner cir cle of Kennedy policy-makers are talking more and more, nowadays, about the possibili ty of the harshest sort of Soviet-American confrontation before this year is over, (c) 1961 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

Enviable Experience To the Editor: The exper ience of Mr. Jenny is most en viable. I represent a much younger generation. It is usu ally characteristic of the young and inexperienced to head off in all directions with a know-it-all attitude.. And it is precisely for this reason Mr. Jenny was asked to be more specific in his charges against HCUA. He chose not to be. When Mr. Jenny uses the term super-patriot he most certainly flatters us. For it is super-patriots we can only aspire to be. To become this, It is necssary that we glean what valuable wisdom we can from those who have gone before us. Was must rely to some extent upon their dem onstration of courage and leadership. We have met an extremely hyper - sensitive world' traveller supposedly used to the give and take one must accept as a member of the human race, so sensitive that the most insecure juve nile appears as a tower of strength by comparison. Says Mr. Jenny (Mail Trib une 3-8-61) "... whereas very few recognizable Communists actually led or participated in the affair." This has been our thesis; that a handful of train ed Communist were able to wreak such a havoc by the masterful application of mob psychology. It finally appears Mr. Jenny is willing to admit that after all, the Communists were leading the riots. Mr. Jenny admits it, surely others will see it too. Robert J. Howard, 828 B West 14th St., Medford, Ore. Two Little Letters To the Editor: "Three little words," said a popular song from years back. It was just two little letters of the alpha bet that made the difference in the letter in the Mail Trib une last Wednesday night. The first line should have read. "I have no reason to doubt Mr. Edgar Snow's in tegrity . . ." With the "no" left out, which was in the original, it becomes quite a different statement. I had no intention of mak ing such an intemperate re mark about a man that I did not even know. My printing experience is limited to a lit tle mimeographing, but I know just . how such things happen. I certainly appreciate the courtesy that the Mail Trib une extends to those of us who so often disagree with the editorial position of the paper. Dorian F. Woods Prospect, Ore. On Trading Stamp Bill To the Editor: Housewives of Jackson county, if you want to retain the privilege of receiving trading stamps when you make purchases, you should write to the slate icgislators from Jackson county and express your op position to the trading stamp bill that is now pending in the Oregon Legislature. Do not be deceived by the propoganda that says this bill is to "regulate" trading stamps! The conditions that the bill would impose would make it impossible for the trading stamp companies to operate here. The newspapers are keeping quiet about the wording of this bill, but I did read some time ago that Nthe bill would require the trad ing stamp companies to set a cash value of half a cent on each stamp.

It is a prescrip tion that helps to cure one of America's In t e r n a 1 ail ments, not ail 1 n g societies overseas. This is its effect if not its official savareia intention. It is a doctor's placebo, giv en to the organically healthy, educated youth of America lo help cure It of its Imagined illness: the feeling that their generation has no big and dra matic challenge as did their fathers in revamping Ameri ca's economic society under Roosevelt and fighting the Fascists threat to liberty. That is why the excitement here far exceeds the expectations in the distant destinations of this crusade. The sense of frustration in the post-war college genera tion ran wide and deep. To them, the days of great collec tive adventures seemed to be over. They were forced to look inward; they sought exclusive ly personal answers to the ful fillment of life in their times. So they married young, built p r 1 v a t walls against the fifth of a cent in cash. Thrifty Green stamps have a cash value of about one-sixth of a cent, or, if used for premiums, about one-fourth of a cent. S and H (Sperry and Hutchi son) and Gold Bond stamps have no cash value, but carry about the same premium value as Thrifty Green stamps. So you can easily see that Sperry and Hutchison company is telling the truth in their statement that the bill would stop the issuance of S and H stamps in Oregon. The bill is being pushed by the small retail grocers, who would like to save themselves the expense of giving these trading stamps.

Capehart, who did not vote, the Foreign Relations committee is unani mously in fa vor of the treaty which will makt this c o u n tr y a member of OECD (The Organizat ion for Economic Coopera t i o n aid Develop ment.) Lippmann The Senate committee has, however, attached to its re port an "interpretation and explanation" of the intent of the Senate. Nothing in the treaty gives the Executive any power "beyond what the President now has." The in terpretation is undoubtedly correct. It is surely quite harmless. It is also quite un necessary, as a reading of the treaty, particularly Article VI, will show. Nothing can be recom mended or decided by the Organization except by un animous consent. That is to say, each member has a veto. Moreover, "no decision shall be binding on any member until it has complied with the requirements of its own con stitutional procedures." The rights of Congress are wholly safeguarded. riiHUS, in no sense of the -I word is the OECD a supra national organization which can override the sovereign power of any nation. What then is it? And why is it im portant? The best way to get at what it is is to begin by noting that today, without the treaty, the President has the consti tutional power to do all that the treaty proposes that he should do. The treaty commits 18 West European countries plus Canada and the U.S.A. to consult. They are to consult in order to cooperate for economic sta bility and growth and in as sisting the under-developed countries. The President al ready has the power, if he chooses to use it, to consult with other governments on all of these subjects. If out of these consultations come pro posals requiring specific ac tions, the Piesident must go back t6 Congress unless the action has already been au thorized.

They took it at face value, hedged against it, and their disappointed fath irs called them security-conscious and conformists. But America never really changes in its heart of hearts. It is constantly renewed in its better instincts because the best of its youth does not really change. It seeks to act, to find something above and beyond self with which to identify and give meaning to personal life. It finds some thing new in the youthful, gay courage of the President him self and in this "Peace Corps," token of his own spirit's kin ship with them. Oscar Wilde said, "Ameri ca's youth is its oldest tradi tion; they have been at It now for throe hundred years." Well, we are at it again, thank heaven.

At any rate I have never been able to find any cheaper prices at stores which don't give stamps, so I figure that the stamps are an extra bonus to me, and do not cost me anything.

WHY then is it important lo establish in a solemn treaty the commitment to con sult? It is important because in committing ourselves to consult, we receive the com mitment of the 19 other na tions which comprise all the great economic powers of the non-Communist world except for Japan. Japan is now a member of the Development Assistant Group dealing with the underdeveloped countries and may loin the OECD. In return for our commit ment to consult with them, we get the right to be consult ed by them. This is a valuable right as has been shown by the still uncompleted nego tiations with West Germany, as will be shown in the forth coming discussions about the trade policies of the Common Market countries and the na tions of the European Free Trade Area. TT is highly significant that this treaty was negotiated and signed by the Eisenhower administration, and that it is being ratified under the Ken nedy administration. This shows that before the change of administration the need which the treaty meets had become clear to President Ei senhower, Mr. Herter, and Mr. Dillon. It had become clear that with the phenomen al economic recovery of West ern Europe, in which this country played an historic part, our relations with West ern Europe were greatly al tered. At the lime of the Marshall Plarrin 1948 the relations be tween West Europe and the U.S.A. were those of bene ficiary and patron, protected and protector. With European recovery, though we are still the biggest economic power, the relationship is mutual as between equals. Instead of the patron and the protector, we are the partner, and to conserve and promote our in terest, we need to have rec ognized, as this treaty does, our right to participate in the discussions, to be consulted, to be fully informed, and to be listened to in the field of high international economic policy. In the time of the Marshall Plan we had the power of the past word. Since the European recovery we shall have in an organization like the OECD the influence which stems from our size, our economic importance, and the enlight enment of our policy.

The full blaze of "human in terest" publicity will focus upon them - for a while. For a long time, in all these areas, hundreds of highly -skilled American adults have been working, alongside their Eu ropean counterparts, at the same heart and back breaking tasks of development - men and women representing gov ernment agencies, universities, foundations, religious groups and private industries. One can visualize them now, sitting on their local club ver andas or lying hot and weary under their mosquito netting, and reading the exciled head lines about the "Pence Corps." Some of them will laugh and spawn local jokes about the coming of a children's tn sadc; some will feel bitter and unappreciated; some will frankly welcome any help they can get. Somehow, at some point In time, it will all shake down and work, if only for the rea In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In the course of his cam. paign for the Presidency, Mr. Kennedy promised if elected to try to fjnd some way to begin to breakdown existing barriers between the United States and Red China. It was a reasonable prom, ise. If there is any honorable way to get along with these Chinese Communists, wa ought to find it. We have little enough use, goodness knows, for what they are do ing. But we have no desire to crowd Red China into a war. It isn't our job to run the world. ANYWAY When he became Presi dent, one of Mr. Kennedy's first moves was an effort to redeem his promise. We have no official contact with the Chinese reds. But at Warsaw, capital of Communist Poland, there is a kind of neutral ground. In Warsaw our am bassador to Poland can talk unofficially to Red China's ambassador to Poland. So A while back Our ambassador to Poland, a Mr. Beam, approached the Chinese ambassador to Po land, a Mr. Wang Ping-nan, and .suggested to him that maybe Communist China and the United States should try to learn more about each other. He proposed, on behalf of the U.S., to admit 32 Chi nese newsmen if Red China will admit an equal number of U.S. newsmen. In that way, he suggested, our countries can become bet ter acquainted. MR. WANG'S answer was a blunt NOTHING DO ING. It was a flat rebuff of Mr. Kennedy's proposal. AT HIS news conference last week, President Kennedy told the reporters he would like to see a lessening of ten sion between the U.S. and China, but "we are not pre pared to surrender in order lo achieve that result." He explained that the Chi nese Communists have been extremely belligerent toward us anH ihev have been un failing in their attacks on tha U.S. But he was careful to avoid any belligerent lan guage on his own part. Offi cials explained after the news conference broke up that since the Kennedy adminis tration took over, the U.S. government has deliberately sought to avoid making prop aganda assaults on Red China just as it has avoided belligerent words about tha Soviet Union. IT'S A good policy. Back in his day, President Roosevelt put it this way; SPEAK SOFTLY. But He added CARRY A BIG STICK. WE HAVE a big slick. Our big stick is our nuclear striking force. Let's not flourish it. Let's speak softly, using words of diplo matic courtesy. But Let's make it plain that. IF WE HAVE TO, we'll use the big stick. That's about the only kind of language Communists un derstand. sign, it seems to me, that wa shall be ratifying this treaty not as a favor to our frien;! handed down from above, but because this treaty provides us with i respectable, a rec ognized, and an orderly in strument for defending our rights and promoting our interests.

But long be fore that lime arrives, the feature writers and camera men will have turned their at tention away, the young corps men and girls will no longer feel like heroes or martyrs, even to themselves.

But most of them will plod ahead - if they have been rigorously selected - feeling both sympathetic and superior about those who could not take it, and they will come home at the end of their terms, as their fathers who stayed the course of the war came home, older than their years, stronger than they were, privately aware that they are rightful owners of a little, special piece of their country's future.
