The amendment, object of considerable friction between the Commission members and members of the Eugene Gay People’s Alliance, would extend city protection against discrimination to homosexuals in the areas of housing, employment and public accommodations. The report from the subcommittee states that “members of the committee discovered that they formed judgements and attitudes from backgrounds of almost total ignorance, erroneous information, myth and opinions of others that had no basis in fact...” However, after examining the available data on homosexuality, the committee “determined that having a predominately or exclusively homosexual orientation constitutes neither sickness, sin nor crime.” The committee also concluded that there is “No indication that changing the ordinance will add significantly to the workload of the commission or otherwise hamper its effectiveness.” “We feel that the right to live one’s life without need for pretense or the fear of harassment or discriminatory treatment must outweigh the right to perpetuate oppression by discrimination against people.” wrote the committee. Oregon Daily Emerald intensely at what was about to be portrayed before him. “The President’s speech had both positive and negative connotations,” Former Senator Wayne Morse said following the announcement that ap parently peace had finally come. “The positive aspect is that the killing has finally stopped,” Morse said. The negative aspect is that we don’t know what the terms of the agreement are and that we are continuing our commitment to South Vietnam.” Morse attacked the continued support of South Vietnam’s President Thieu, saying, “Nixon said not a word about what Thieu will be doing with the millions of dollars of equipment that we gave him. We’ve been supporting crooked politicians for 20 years in Vietnam.” The man who served in the Senate for 24 years cautioned against too much optimism. “Let the American people not be deceived by the speech, we are not getting militarily out of Asia. And until we do, the war will continue." Morse also attacked Nixon’s “peace with honor.” “It couldn’t possibly by a peace with honor, with all the bombing, killing of men, women and children that we have done. We don’t know how many thousands we killed.” From Washington, D.C. Senator Mark Hat field’s reactions were in the same vein. “We all should be uplifted by President Nixon's an nouncement of a cease fire and that all the troops and prisoners will come home. “But we must not let our relief over the homecoming of Americans erase our compassion for the people of Indochina. I fervently hope that this settlement will not just complete the de Americanization of the war, but yield permanent peace for all the people of Indochina,” Hatfield said. “This is President Nixon’s greatest ac complishment,” Senator Robert Pack wood said. “I join the nation in applauding the President on this historic occasion. This is the hour far the nation to close ranks and begin building a lasting peace for future generations.” Fourth District Congressman John Dellenback said, “My first reaction to the peace agreement was Thank God.’ ” He added that “We should dwell on the past only to the extent that it teaches us not to make the same mistakes ever again in the future.” • Q> seaCfarer PANTS BILL BAKER'S I Mtns 3®par I 881 EAST 13 th ■ Fim* mrvrc* tnfnmuifi/Kn * ».uJi * w ,lW1'5 unonnnnifl*i MUK Father DoaaWll Campbell!
