Scab Sneet iditor
oeaks...
Ihis issue of the Scab Sheet features a cover cartoon depicting members
of the newly-formed Commission on i-uman ights and iesponsibilities as Ku i(lux
i1an moguls, picking up their hoods enroute to a meeting of the Commission.
The drawing is a graphic indication of my fee1ings some 14 hours ago, toward
individuals who I felt were continuing to disregard human and student rights
even while striving to affirm themi.e., I and a number of other persons are
incensed that the President amed student members of the Commission without
ref ering that decision to the proper group, the OSU student body.
Those were my fee1ins some 14 hours ago--it is now 4 a. m.--when I told
the Scab Sheet artist what I wanted on the cover. £hose are not my feelings
My feelings now are that the Scab Sheet cover today is an affront to the
President of this University, to each and every member of the Commission, and
to myself.
It is a violation of the integrity this publication has maintained
during a. very trying time, and as such It cannot be allowed to pass unexclaimed.
There are circumstances vthich mitigate, but do not excuse, my action.
They are physical near-exhaustion, continued frustration of efforts to wring
from this University a clear statement on human rihts, ard a psychological
fatigue giving free rein to emotion instead of personal integrity and political
acumen. As far as I can see, each of the parties to the present controversy
has succumbed to these pressures at one time or another durin the past two
weeks, to greater or lesser degre.
1'iy sense of urgency to see justice done in the present case is surpassed
only. by my desire to maintain my own, and the newspaper1s, integrity. Todayrs
cover artwork is clearly a violation of that sense of integrity, and as such
calls for an unequivocal apology tothose affected by it personally, arid to
those who buy the Scab Sheet to getthe truth for a nickel.
fha cover of this issue of the Scab Sheet can be excused by no means; we
may only comment on it as a graphic example of hman failing in a time of
stress.
The sad fact is that our cover exists as a manifestation of our
fundamental good will toward the students, facuLty and administrators of Oregon
State.
i'he sad fact: is that for:abrief time I was content to let my fundamental good will justify any means to its implementation.
The sad fact--as
this newspaper has affirmed before, and which I temporarily forgot--is that
good will implemented by the wrong means, or simply not implemented at all,
loses all semblance of good will.
Th front cover of this issue is an example of ruthlessness for which I
am responsible; while affirming the politicai goals and values which it ostensibly supports, I denounce the caricature as reprehensible and of no redeeming
worth. in doing so, I ask only that others who have oxoerienced the same loss
of proportion be ruthless in demanding the best of themselves, and patient
with others who may not sense the dangers in such a loss,of integrity.
