His first reaction was, “What, ho?” but he soon became possessed with an inspiration to write. Unable to cure this with penicillin, we allowed him to produce the following: The Ten Commandments for Fea ture Writers 1. Thou shalt write penetrating, in-depth, trenchant, cutting, per ceptive, socially relevant stories that will change the course of his tory and prompt letters to the editor. 2. Thou shalt not write stories on old ladies. 3. Thou shalt not compromise truth except for a very good joke. 4. Thou shalt use description. 5. Thou shalt not use pretentious diction or be a pendantic megalomaniac. 6. Thou shalt not be corny. 7. Thou shalt not merely spectate in life, but shall jump on the stage whenever possible. 8. Thou shalt triple space and use periods. 9. Thou shalt interpret and thou shalt interpret correctly. When thou art in the ultimate-truth busi ness, thou cannot afford to blow it. 10. Thou shalt base all stories on ultimate truth as printed in Ulti mate Truth revised standard edi tion, 3rd printing, unabridged. ★★★★★★★★ Consumer tip: Our reports indi cate that if you are a safe driver, most likely you are being ripped off by your auto insurance com pany. It seems safe drivers are bearing the social cost of daily ac cidents. Well folks, our advice is to get your money’s worth. Go out right this minute and have a head-on collision. Total your car. Murder a pedestrian. As long as you are paying for an accident, you might as well cash in. Demos set Eugene meeting Lane County Democrats have two rabbits in the hat this year.

' Where happy endings always begin!” Eugene is hosting the convention for the first time since 1968, ac cording to state chairer and Uni versity Prof. James Klonoski, Political Science. The need for 123 county rep resentatives means ample oppor tunity for those registered Demo crats willing to forego one weekend s routine tor this chal lenging, quadrennial experience. Bill Dwyer, Democratic party county chairer, encourages any one interested to look into becom ing a delegate. Delegate election will occur at the county convention ten tatively scheduled for the end of January. Further information can be obtained by contacting Dwyer at the Lane County Comm issioner’s office. If the time factor proves un favorable for involvement in either the county or state convention, there is the alternative of attend ing the Young Oregon Democrats state convention. Tentatively set for March 11, the convention will debate issues and complete a platform that will be submitted to the full state convention three weeks later. Contact chairer David McTeague for more details at 485-6105. EMU Cultural Forum Saturday, January 28 EMU Ballroom 8:00 p.m. Tickets available at the EMU main desk.
