Economics and Stuff Like That"
How all too many Americans seem to react
to the dangers facing this country today.
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.)

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.

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.

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.
