democracy in an age of scarcity An interface is an intellectual soul searching with prominent humanists playing priests during discussions probing an issue: Is democracy possible in an age of scarcity? Personal responsibility seemed to be the central solution to all questions. A seven week program was sponsored by the Washington Commission for the Humanities and SU's political science department. The panel included members such as Oregon's ex-governor Tom McCall, Garrett Hardin of life-boat ethics fame, Robert Theobold, futurist consultant, and others from the campus and community. Garrett Hardin, the first interface guest panelist, discussed democracy as a viable form in an age of scarcity on October 31. Unfortunately, he didn't discuss his famous lifeboat ethics which maintain no aid should be given to anyone, including nations in the third world. Such aid, he claims, will only prolong the imbalance now upsetting world ecology via overbreeding. Robert Theobold believed the US could avoid 1984, a totalitarian society depicted in George Orwell's novel, but won't. He cited apathy, unrealistic idealism and a desire to sweep problems under the rug as three responses from people which will hasten the coming of 1984. He offered management viewpoint as the fourth possible response which could thwart 1984. This solution is based on personal honesty and responsibility where each citizen would find some problem to solve and organize others to do the same. Former Oregon governor Tom McCall spoke on November 11 and contended that bureau- cracy is so widespread that the government is no longer responsive to the people. He said land use planning is the most important issue facing America today and cited his state as a world leader in wise land use. McCall called for a sandwich government of local, state and federal governments sharing power and responsibility. This would require grassroots response from the people to take action right where they live. lean Enenon considers a question during her discussion of government needs and the right to privacy. James Parry, John Topel, SI, Doris Pieroth, guest discussant, and Elbert Beamer were panelists for the education forum on November 18. Campion Tower provided the setting for evening sessions of the interface, while a noon program was duplicated for students.
