Commentary— Bureaucracy hinders drug center By MARK MILLER Editor's note: Miller is director of the Drug Information Center at the Univer sity. Introduction: I am required by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to file quarterly reports on this agency's progress for funding purposes. One section of the report asks me for comments, and after almost a year of the Drug Information Center’s existence, I have something to say. Below my com Letters For Leiber I urge students that are interested in the election for Senior class office (if such 2 creature exists) to vote for Harley Leiber for Senior class President because he wants to get rid of Senior class govern ment. Class government is worthless anyway, and Harley Leiber will help to hasten its demise so that it cannot be used by student politicians that like to run for phone of fices. Harley Leiber will give Senior class government all the attention it deserves. Kip De Shazo For Parrish — Vernon A very important student body election is coming up on the 17th and 18th of this month. The people that are chosen for president and vice president will have to be people that will hold out for a 50 per cent representation for students in any kind of a co-governance arrangement with the faculty. The Parrish — Vernon ticket ranks this task to be of highest importance in the upcoming year and have vowed not to bow to President Clark’s 10 per cent scheme. Vote for Parrish and Vernon to insure equal representation on any co govemance with the faculty. Ross M. Lien hart Jr. Business For Neal — Andrews Dan Neal and I are running for Senior Class President and Vice-president because we feel there is a need for active and responsible class officers. Alumni relations have been the only activities the Senior class officers have taken on for the past few years. We believe that we could do that job very well. We also feel that the class debt should be paid off and not left for the university to pay after we graduate. The past cabinets have left us in substantial debt and we are willing to hold car ralleys, dances or anything it takes to pay it off. We further would like to continue the old tradition of the Senior class leaving the school a gift. This would mean earning even more money and possibly asking for donations from members of the class. Some other of our ideas include a class project such as cleaning up the mill race, a good old fashioned “Senior Skip Day” with a few kegs out in the country on fomr fine spring day, and anything else that sounds like a good idea. Please give Dan and I (Scott Andrews) the chance to put some life into the Senior Class offices. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Scott Andrews Junior, Business For Travis— Kirkpatrick I’ve learned quite a bit from my in volvement in ASUO politics. I’ve come to realize that we have been getting ripped ments which were included in the report. “We find that our acceptance in the community continues to grow. We have established a solid base not only in the university, but in the general community as well. Our inclusion in local media channels and county committees as well as our pending inclusion in state-wide comprehensive drug planning is a further indication of our progress and expertise. However, receiving partial funding from student incidental fees creates many problems due to inexperienced and in competent student government. Fur off. We each give the ASUO, or should I say they take, $60 each year ($800,000 total), to play their games. Not only do our ‘student bureaucrats’ waste our money on sometimes worthless ventures, but they even take part of it themselves, up to $165.00 per month, as salaries. Tim Travis and Jack Kirkpatrick are the only candidates who talk about the real problems of the ASUO, greed, waste and government. They are the only candidates who promise to cut the salaries in the ASUO. to make those getting paid to work lor it, and they are the only team that deserves our votes. Take the time to make a wise investment in the ASUO’s future. On your way to class, stop for a few seconds and cast your ballot, and please, cast it for Travis — Kirkpatrick! Gene Pronovost Political Science Boybton-Hamilton Rm 105 —ext . 5324 Zappa My colleagues and I feel it necessary to dispell the falsehoods and blasphemies being spread about the True God. As written in the book of Meat, the True Saviour was born of Suzy Creamcheese and is, in fact, the one, the only.Frank Zappa! For those infidels and pagans who still refuse to see the light, drop some acid and catch one of his concerts. That should dispell any doubt. John Harnagel member of Heathens for the Eradication of Stupidity 1230 Ferry St. Eugene thermore inflexible university ad ministrative procedures continue to be the only obstacle to smooth day-to-day operations of the center. This comes from being viewed as a student service by the university administrators charged with insuring the smooth functioning of student government programs and facilities, when in-fact, our current service ratio is 50 per cent university related, and 50 per cent community related. These same administrators, while issuing directive notes, are too involved in the daily routine of administration to realize the repetitive and inflexible nature of their directives. The Drug Information Center is a unique organization that provides services unlike that of any other organization in the U.S. Because of its novel nature and services, it does not fit into the existing university student government concepts of what programs should be and do. The mere nature of the university student government bureaucracy does not allow the full flexibility the Drug In formation Center requires to be better than just a good program.” A Poem THE BUNGLING BUGGERS Mr. Fisher beat the Russian Champ. Mr. Nixon won the Presidential election, because loyal friends had bugged the Watergate almost to perfection. But the bugging game is for experts. A game that with exposure is often fraught. And disgrace falls upon any stupid Buggers who allow themselves to be caught. Somehow the Buggers bungled which, prosaically, meant, that’s all she wrote. A mere matter now of drawing straws to see who would volunteer to be the goat. The Big man had to be protected, or they’d catch Hell a plenty. Maybe he'd be safe in White House number three away out there in sunny San Clemente. The couldn’t afford a real Red Herring to foul up the path of fate, so they promoted a Headline feud between the I.T.&T. and the fateful bugging of Watergate. The Solons back there in Washington need neither rhyme nor reason, for in the game of politics there's no such thing as a closed season. fortheO.D.E by Lynn Bond 4-3-73 Often known as THE PUTTERING POET OF POTTER STREET lie erection set
