Beyond Apathy?
Is lt disinterest or bad manners?
Student President Mike Case decided to allocate small portions
of Uie $1,000 ln Uie line Item "Student Government Retreat/Workshop"
to hold several small workshops rather than produce one large
session as past-president Gary Yamamoto did.
AU the Senators thought lt was a fine Idea.
The first Senate Workshop was scheduled tor lastSunday. Twenty-
five eager solons indicated they would participate and wished to be
Included ln dinner arrangements.
Five administrators were Invited to be guest speakers. (And at
least they showed up.)Dr. W.Donald Albright spoke within 20 minutes
of departure Ume for a flight he had to catch-a sacrifice of Ume given
gladly.
But is a small turnout a worthwhUe compensation for this Incon¬
venience?
The attendance Sunday was an even dozen—and'those of us who did
come are Uie ones who needed to come the least,* said Case,
understandably disgusted.
Among the commers were Ron Crlstando, Jay Goodwin, Dave
Brodle and Pat Prewltt, who early ln their careers gained the repu-
taUon for being among the more outstanding and forceful personalities
ln Uie Senate.
Also attending were Ron DoUnsek, PhU Sherwood, Alan Ishlda and
Bob Earnest, who were soft-spoken spectators earlier this fall, but
are gradually emerging as effecUve and articulate legislators.
Vernon Tobley, Norman Mears, Bob Tapla and Jo Ann McGinnls
were there too. Registering between two extremes, they are the ones
who speak seldomly, but with Impact.

Bad Sportsmanship
Editor:
I was disturbed Friday by the Collegian's editorial display o
sportsmanship, and Its apparent distrust of the Amer
of open competition and free enterprise. It seemed that, among other
things, Uie Collegian Is beginning to take Itself too seriously.
In Friday's editorial, G.L.D. spoke to the underdog Organ ln a
pompous, patronizing tone which seemed to assume, surprisingly
enough, that the Collegian Itself practised what G.L.D. called "re¬
sponsible Journalism." It doesn't. We all know that. I wonder how
G.L.D. could have been so misled.

r qualified, JournallsUcally, to decide for the readers
of Uie Collegian that which Is obscene and that which Is not? Would
the Supreme Court agree with her?
Is it "responsible Journalism" to make such accusatluns ami not
to support them with any facts? I saw the skit and don't remember
seeing any obscenities. Certainly the picture on the front page of
the Collegian was not presented to us as an example of obscenity; It
lt were obscene, lt certainly never would have made the front page of
your paper. Would lt?
Well then, we have at least one example of the Collegian's ir¬
responsible Journallsm-an example which seems to me to "lean
toward libel* (which Is what G.L.D. accused the Organ of doing).
And what does G.L.D, find so "refreshing" ln the Organ's avoid¬
ance of "sexually offensive articles*? My God, the Collegian haT^
avoided being offensive since its (pardon the word) conception!
Oh, one final question, G.L.D.: what In Uie world is "financial
castraUon'? That, by the way, offended the Hell out of me.
Well, I'm hoping that the Collegian will dlsconUnue, as G.L.D.

with the threat of another paper around, Uie CoUeglan will not only
become more responsible ln Its
reporting, but maybe, Just maybe,
lt wUl become less of a bore as
well. Perhaps too, lt wUl find
something more news-worthy
than the stupid deriding of rival
concerns.
