Balance of payments draining our gold? "What's the latest beat record?" National debt plunging us into bankruptcy? "When's the next heavyweight bout?" Higher and higher labor costs losing us markets and jobs? "Who's divorcing whom in Hollywood?" Marines being killed in a war that doesn’t even in terest the average man? "Any odds against New York in the Pennant race this year?" Secret deals which may sell our nation down the river before we know it? "Who's on top in the latest popularity poll?" If the people—if you and I—don’t get excited, worried, angry about what is happening to our beloved and once- greatest country, how can we blame the politicans, who work for us? When the boss gets listless, employees loaf. (The above was an ad of Warner and Swasey, pre cision tool makers, that recently ran in a national magazine. It la worthy of thought by all of us.)

Classifieds Bring Results! Local Student Named Counselor's Intern At Lewis and Clark Miss Kathleen McPartland, a I sophomore, is one of 63 partici- I pants in the Lewis and Clark col lege student counseling program. According to a news release from the college in Portland, she has been selected as a counselor’s in tern in Forest Hall, new co-edu- cational dormitory complex. Kathleen, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. McPartland of Nyssa, is a member of the Lewis and Clark concert band which recent ly returned from a tour of Ore gon and Northern California. The counseling program was devised as a part of the college’s plan for peer-group control rather than imposed administrative au thority. Resident assistants reside and work directly with a small group of students under the sup ervision of a resident director. Each one is also assigned an in tern, a counselor-in-training. Preparation for the position of resident assistant begins with a year of internship which includes a class in group counseling, teach ing group leadership, first aid and other skills. FARM BUREAU FURROW By SCOTT LAMB Information Director To Curb a Freedom A passage in George Orwell’s book, “Animal Farm,” has the farm animals changing their con stitution, which reads: “All ani mals are equal,” to: “All animals are equal, except some animals are more equal than others.” This seems to be the thinking behind President Johnson’s plans to ask Congress to repeal Section 14-B of the Taft-Hartley act. Thai section is a provision of the National Labor Relations act of 1947 permitting each state io prohibit by law "agreements requiring membership in a la bor organization as a condition of employment" within that state. The same administration that promises more freedom to all and that is strongly backing the right to riot in protest over civil rights and other personal causes is now prepared to take a very real free dom from the people. Twenty states now have “right to work” laws on the books. If the congress bows to the presi dent’s request, the right to make a living will be a vanished free dom. (It can hardly be argued that a lost freedom for the pre tended economic good of the in dividual is any more important than the loss of freedom for any reason. The idea that a human being can be forced io work against his will has been long ago de nounced as slavery. However, it is apparently considered so cially acceptable to force a man or woman to join a union and swear to discriminate against non-union workers. Maybe the president was speak ing for the labor union leaders when he said in his message to congress: “We have achieved a unity of interest among our peo ple that is unmatched in the his tory of freedom.” It is beginning to look as if that unity is going to be forced on us. IT'S YOUR LAW Guild Member* Vote Meeting Date Change By Oregon State Bar Perils of Sports Each year more than 100 mil lion fans watch or take part in sports. They get hurt by foul balls, flying pucks and the like. Many of them get no damages from the show owner or promot er, for the fan may voluntarily assume the risk of injury. There are. however, some risk* that the fan does not as sume. These are occurrences not a necessary part of the sporting event or risks from which the promoter should rea sonably protect the spectator. Thus, protective walls for auto racing, screens behind home plate at baseball games, or rules for the conduct of participants. Of late, the injured participants of the sport have raised some new problems. In golf, for in stance, bad shots occasionally do injury. The person hitting a golf ball has two duties: To make sure that no one is exposed to an unreasonable risk by being with in the area of play to which the golfer is playing, and, if neces sary, to give a loud warning to anyone who may be affected. The call of “fore’’ may be re quired either before or after the shot. If the player abides by these rules, usually he has no liability for the ball or club that hits some one, even though the ball “hook ed” or “sliced” in the wrong di rection. As a general rule, partici pants and spectators, by enter ing into the area of the sports activities are accepting certain obvious risks. But they do not accept any acts of misconduct or misjudgment not iiihtrcr.i in the conduct of the sporting event. Thus, a foul ball which causes injury during the course of a baseball game does not give rise to a right to recover dam ages, but a ball deliberately hit into the stands during practice probably would entitle the spectator to a recovery. The sports injury rules apply to strange events: In one rolling pin throwing contest, a pin went awry and knocked out a nearby spectator. No recovery. It was an obvious risk that he under took in standing within the range of the flying pins. In another case, contestants tried to see who could catch a hen. Some eager hen-catchers pushed a spectator and a participant through a plate glass window. No financial re covery. In sporting events there may be noise, physical commotion and flying objects. The timid had bet ter step back. (Oregon lawyers offer this column as a public service.)
