two carxtidates David Parr the

chaftenger fought an out and out
war lor the position wifi Tyler
the vidor by some 70 votes out of
1,500. An over zealous David
Tyler in fie quest for this coveted
post outnghtly accused David
Parr of several violations of cam
paign ethics. First off, Tyler ac
cused Parr of insuffioent research
concerning the discussion of the
Panheiienic Council s budget
The director of the PanneHernc
stated fiat she said nothing to
that effect concerning Parr s re
search abitity Secondly. Tyler ac
cused Parr of excessive absen
teeism from IFC meetings. The
average number of absences tor
an IFC member this year was 11-5
times Parr missed a grand total of
two meetings Finatiy, Tyler ac
cused Parr of general incompe
tence concerning the IFC and the
budget appropriations tor the com
ing year. Tyler apparently based
his statement on the two previous
charges and this charge as wel as
the other two is totafly absurd.
Tyler in fie quest of justice had
Parr appear at a hearing concern

charges were dropped and Parr

No doubt, only a few of the
group were guilty of this abuse

There s a id! of growing ooncem from a lot of

Others ha re porned ou~ that even m Amenca. the
resources are kmrted There is an energy crisis at

Beneath the surface, this country is sM as bulksh

navy is the biggest in the world, but they want
more Our defense budget is the biggest « the
entire history of mankind, yet there is unretenttng
pressure to make it even bigger Our gent con
glomerates are so much bigger and better now
that they can buy and sell entire foreign govern
ments
We have built new skyscrapers whch outstrip
the magnificent Empire State Bu'tomg We have
made the big 747 and still contemplate makng the
better supersonic Our nuclear power plants are
the biggest ever in the history of the power indus
try The new word from Detroit is that they are
going back to bigger cars again since that seems
to be what Americans want Even n potties in
stead of a few scattered primaries, we have thirty,
perhaps to demonstrate that we have a bigger
and better democracy No, like the elephant tots
country hasn t changed in its base phtosophy
Here in the state o< Oregon the power industry
has started yet another campaign to make the

Report dismays
I spent most of the winter
weekends in Eugene and came to
admire the University of Oregon
Therefore f was cfcsmayed when
the news metia this morning re
ported that Oregon State Uni
versity students booed Reagan on
tie “pot issue I have openly op
posed Reagan from his entrance
into pohbcs and at present am an
active Udai supporter (Church is
equaiy commendable). But why
boo Reagan on the one issue
where he may be nght? Would
you ratter quibble over the issue
of “poC have your “pof and go to
pot rather than tackle the substan
tive issues? i am afraid too many
with their alcohol and drugs cop
out from facing the national and
international evils which need to
be tackled with clear heads and
vigor. I hope the news media was
wrong and that you are showing at
least an equal concern for such
matters

Get involved
In an effort to continue the tradi
tion of student participation in the
affairs of the political science de
partment. I am inviting every polit
ical science major to participate in
the election of a new president of
the Political Science Student
Union (PSSU). The PSSU works
closely with the department in the
selection of courses, the admis
sion of grad students (who be
come your TAs) and department
policy.
In addition to sponsoring the
highly successful Mock Democra
tic Convention last month, the
PSSU has sponsored a Senate
Simulation class, a symposium on
Watergate and several films and
speakers.
The election will be in the EMU
(room to be posted) Tuesday at 4
p.m. and I would urge that every
major in political science that can
attend to do so This is the perfect
opportunity to do something about
the department that has so much
to do with your four year stay here
at the University.
Please come and get involved
