Atiyeh confirms candidacv in ‘78 Pt>o<o by F H A T Aj<mac*>ef Predicting that the next governor will be a Republican, state sentor Vic Atiyeh brought his campaign for the state 's chief adminstrative post to Eugene Friday. Atiyeh, who lost to Gov. Bob Straub in the 1974 election, attacked Straub as a disappointment." By JANE LEHMAN of the Emerald Despite the odds that former Gov. Tom McCall will again run in the Re publican primary, state senator Vic Atiyeh, R-Beaverton, will not be dis counted in the gubernatorial race. Speaking before the monthly Re publican Forum Friday, Atiyeh as sured listeners, “I am running for of fice, I really mean it.” Atiyeh explained many people have questioned the seriousness of his candidacy. "Regardless of how many are in the race I will be there,” he said. “I believe my viewpoints of Oregon are in tune with most of the people in Oregon. I predict that the next gov ernor of Oregon will be a Republi can,” he said. But it’s up to us which Republican will be the governor.” Atiyeh ran for the governor’s seat in 1974, pulling 40 per cent of the vote, but not enough to beat Oregon’s current governor, Bob Straub. He has also been a member of the Oregon Legislature since 1959. Atiyeh attacked Straub on a number of siiuse, especially for being a “disappointment.” He said “It’s bet ter not to promise at all, than raise the hopes of the people who are waiting for government to deliver — which it isn’t.” He pointed out one function that is over-looked is cooperation between the executive office and the Legisla ture. ‘‘The Legislature furnishes work and gives it to the governor to put into effect. That has not occured.” Addressing specific issues, Atiyeh confirmed his support of “environ mental issues reasonably adminis tered.” He said, “We can have a heal thy economy without sacrificing any of our healthy environment — if we have the right kind of leadership.” He listed other planks of his plat form as land-use planning, quality public education, strong private sec tor economy and jobs and conserva tion of people s tax dollars. Atiyeh concluded that much of the problems in the governor's office today stem from a lack of direction. “I have the experienceand knowlegeto lead not only people, but the machin ery of government. I can bring the best and brightest into state govern ment and put them to work. “Young people can’t start the kinds of things many of us have had,” he pointed out. “They can’t buy or build their own homes because of high property taxes.” Another plan of acbon stressed by Atiyeh to make state government more responsive to its citizenry is to instruct state workers to approach their job in two ways. “Conserve tax dollars and try to help people that really need help.” He added that, government must quit “intimidating people and leam to serve them.” In response to a question about limiting migration into Oregon, Atiyeh said, “We can't control where people live in a democracy. But we can con trol how we grow.” JACQUELIN S SEE VUE MOTEL ON THE OREGON COAST »/uV a Mop away Come, enjoy the sea m the style of Herrsngway Watch the storms build a fire and create a space ot your own Reservations recommended 547-3227 yachan>___02303 23 W you've got the goods but no ptece to put them. «Ot SELF-STOR tor tncfrviduat storage unit rentals Sires 5ft»5flS5tt* 10 ft and larger, al units are heated Can 344-2710 West 11th and Bertetaen Rd. 02098*1 PIZZA TINO’S DELIVERS OUR 23 DELICIOUS VARIETIES OF Piping ho.
