Eyes On National Races

One Issue In Oregon

Default In California

By FRANK BROWNING
Kernel Associate Editor
Actor Ronald Reagan may well be California's
next governor in a triumph through default.

University political scientist Dr. Frank Marini
it's not that Reagan will really win; rather,
that incumbent Cov. Edmund (Pat) Brown will
says

lose.

Marini's colleague, Dr. Robert Prangcr, thinks
Brown may yet pull a political rabbit out of
the hat and carry off the election, but that if
not, he agrees Reagan cannot be credited with

a true

"win."

By PHIL SEMAS

Watching him speak on college campuses, it
is difficult to understand why Oregon Gov. Mark
Hatfield has not built up more of a rapport
with students during his eight years as governor.
Hatfield is young, handsome, engaging. He
speaks and acts much like a Charles Percy or
John Lindsay.
Yet the only college students in Oregon who
have become his strong supporters are Republicans and the more conservative. Campus liberals have tended to shy away from him, possible partly because of his lukewarm efforts to
improve higher education in Oregon.
But this year Hatfield has become the hero
of the liberals, as he campaigns against Congressman Robert B. Duncan for the United States
Senate in the only major race in the country
where Vietnam stands as the clear, overriding

Behind the paradox lies the determining factor
of the election not a battleof issues and ideologies,
but the result of time, events, and political finesse.
Both Marini and Pranger are familiar with the
California scene, each having studied at the University of California's Berkeley campus.
And both see the outcome of the election lying issue.

'Incidents'
Reported
In Boycott
Leaders of the Lexington
Shoppers Revolt accused today
two employes in a Gardenside
supermarket of "knocking down
two of our ladies" Saturday while
the housewives secured signatures on petitions.
Store officials denied any
knowledge of the incidents.
The claim illustrates the growing tension between the housewives and the five food chains
boycotted because of high prices.
The shoppers have extended
their protest to petitioning shoppers at the stores six days a
week. Mrs. T. S. Budzinski,
president of the LSR who also
leveled the charge, said the housewives would be enlisting support
Monday through Saturday until

the boycott ends. Previously, the
petitioning took place only on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The women who' allegedly
were knocked down were identified as Mrs. Thomas C. Barr,
a member of the organization's
executive committee, and Mrs.
Jo Ann Troy.

The incidents according to

Mrs. Budzincki, occured as separate times and in front of the
Kroger store. "They (two Kroger
employes) came up behind and
bumped into them with grocery
carts," she said.

Mrs. Budzinski said the boycott organization has consulted
an attorney on the matter and
decided "to let it ride this time.
The next incident we can't let
pass.
The claims were the first indications of any trouble between
the shoppers and the stores since
the boycott began some three
weeks ago.

Deans Differ On Grading System
By MARVA GAY
Kernel Staff Writer

A survey of University academic deans
indicates a general feeling that the grading
system presents "a real problem" but the
opinions vary on what might be done to

improve it.
Of seven deans interviewed three favored
the present system, three favored a change,
and one was uncertain. All seven deans
agreed that increased independent study
would help most students.
Dean Lyman Cinger of Education favors
a three grade system. Crades would be outstanding, passing, and failing. There would be
no curve. He maintained that this would
take undue pressureoff the students and allow
them to work more independently. He said
this would also help motivate the student
to learn for the sake of learning rather than

he is a former college professor.
Neither man is particularly
enamored with student peace
groups.
Although he defends the right

whether protest marchers are
making any real contribution to
meaningful discussion of the war.
He also dislikes being grouped
with them, just as he dislikes
being grouped with Morse, because they may cost him votes.

The protesters, concentrated at
the University of Oregon, Reed
College, and Portland State College, are not very popular in
Oregon, which is basically a
conservative, niral state.
Duncan has even less liking
for dissenters. Although he often
defends the right of people to
have their own views, he has
also branded such persons as
Hatfield and Morse as "Hamlets," saying the real problem
of the war "may not be in the
hamlets of Vietnam but in the
Hamlets here in the United
States."

Prior to the election, at least,
these people have not done the

The reason? It may center

with an organization of private
citizens, party workers, who
usually count heavily in primary
election candidates called the
California Democratic Council

(CDC).
Brown and the CDC have
been in conflict this year. According to Marini, Brown "dis-

that, "Brown is a master at'

he can be defeated is if the

On these grounds, he says,
Brown could be beaten. Admitting Brown's loss of favor
with both the liberals and the

still wonders if they will finally
come back to Brown's support
in face of a Reagan victory.
The chance for this is good,
Pranger thinks given the large
number of undecided voters.
And he believes the lead pollsters give Reagan may well be
a catalyst in reuniting them with

Brown.

Pranger thinks Mexicans, Negroes, and lower classes will turn

is secured at all.

that a strong show of force in

Marini further points out that

by a defeat.

* Unlike Alias, The Student Can No!
Stand Too Much Weight

The 'Pressu re Cookers'
Additional proof that there must
be a better way of evaluating students than by grades is made evident by a conservative estimate
of 10,000 attempted suicides among
college students each year.
Moderator magazine, in a recent
issue, listed the major cause of
suicide as the "pressure cooker"
environment of the college students, or more simply, the pressure
for grades.
It is evident that this pressure becomes greater each year.
For example, as more students
clamor to enter the doors of graduate schools, these schools in turn
raise admission standards so as to
have the "cream of the crop.
The same trend is noticeable
in professional schools, such as
those of law and medicine.

Are Grades Essential?
This prompted the Minnesota
Daily to pose the following question in an editorial: "Are grades
an essential part of the education process? Some educators hold
that grades hinder learning, others
do not. But all experts agree that
grades are chiefly an administrative convenience and are necessary for some types of student

sons for staying in college.
"A lot of others have pretty
deep personal problems which
make it difficult to study or to be
motivated about anything. Some
of my friends really feel the tension and get depressed easily."
The problem of student suicide
becomes even more apparent at
this time of year as final examinations draw nearer, and pressures

mount.

Preventative Measures
There are a number of things
that can be done by the University to help prevent such a tragic
happening:
Examine the possibility of
relieving student pressure by abolishing our present grading system
and replace it with a pass-fa- il
system by which knowledge not
grades, becomes important.

Provide a necessary number
of mental health experts on campus

Letter To The Editor

Anthropologist Defended
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I am one of over 300 students
in Physical Anthropology 100 who
is paying witness to one of the
most sickening things that I have
seen during my four years at UK.
Dr. Eddington is a new faculty
member in the anthropology department and came here from Berkeley, just having completed his
Ph.D. At mid-teralmost two-thirof this class was failing, and
it is the repercussions of this that
I find as degrading.
This faculty member has been
techexposed to the strong-arof the Dean of the College of
niques
Arts and Sciences, but what is
worse, he is daily confronted with
a class of immature and hostile
m

ds

m

students.
The implications of this whole
situation should be grounds for
investigation of some UK policies.
However, I am distressed with the
portion of the student body that
is represented here and insulted
that I am forced to be included in
this irresponsible group.
Eddington, in my opinion, is
an academic revolutionary on this
campus. He is an extremely well
qualified anthropologist and is a
concerned professor and a very
aware human being. The charges
against him have ranged from the

cussion on topics that do not
necessarily relate to anthropology,
but do relate to the continued
existence of the human species.

If every time a student at this
University failed a course because
he did not put forth enough time
in studying the material and then
sought to rationalize his shortcomings by making the professor a
scapegoat, then we would soon be
without a faculty.
....
I am among the majority who
failed at mid-terand my investment is very great at this point
considering I am a senior and plan
to do graduate work, but not enough
to distort the truth.
m

I urge Dr. Eddington to consider
to remain rt UK because he has the
sort of qualities that this place
needs, mainly professional ethic.
