Committee, to strike a forceful blow against the handful of corporate capitalists and bankers who run this country; a beginning in our struggle to unite in our millions to support the struggle in Blue River, Vida and Yachats, where our militant and uncompromising struggle is growing among the destitute and exploited seething masses, where our con stant pressure is beginning to get ingrained, a message that the Im morald, itself a profiteering capitalist rag run by a handful of corporate capitalists and bankers, has called dogma, but our message — that we should rise up in our millions in a militant and uncompromising struggle to strike a blow to the hearts of the corporate capitalists and bankers who run this country — is being heard by the millions of people who never even went to college, and is being supported by the millions who gathered in the Fishbowl prior to the raid and forceful occupation of the Friendly Hall Closet, where exploitation has been rampant for years under the regime of the tyrant Romance Languages Department Head, also a member of the handful of corporate capitalists and bankers, when 16 persons occupied the closet, refusing to be removed until the de mands were met or the placards were torn from their wounded, bleeding hands, which the handful of corporate capitalists and bankers, soon to be displaced by our millions in our militant and uncompromising struggle, had mutilated just before they and the fascist police state gendarmes tore the 16 from the closet in an effort to crush our rising, geometrically expanding movement (which is now reaching millions in places like South Cottage Grove, Hilyard St., and North Eugene) with the help of the capitalist-fascist Romance Languages Department head, who also works as a typist for the ASUO, which uses IBM Selectric typewriters, red with the blood of the exploited secretaries of Coos Bay, where our militant and uncompromising movement to strike a forceful blow is also bringing in billions of supporters whose necks ache with the chafe of the yoke of capitalist slavery, which we must struggle to overcome at every opportunity; a system that proposes bogus and bankrupt laws like the ERA, laws we must oppose forcefully to strike a blow at the system of capitalist slavery and the Romance Lanuages Department Head and the ASUO and the Immorald, and that too-seldom mentioned bulwark of capitalism, the janitor of PLC, and the handful of corporate capitalists and bankers that run this country and will keep running it until we, the billions from every corner of the block, rise up to meet our destiny and refuse to let their good laws pass so that our growing,rising, building, geometrically expanding, movement will culminate in the initiation of our laws. There will be a meeting today in the Post Office Lobby to discuss strategy and to develop new slogans. All militant and uncompromising millions are encouraged to attend.

Henson, for reasons unknown, has forgotten how to write. Hello my beautiful friends! I am wanting you to know today that my omnik ... omnisch ... omnicrent... everpresent warm handshake and New columnist, “Big Daddy” beautiful taste in food and wine, will be coming to your most beautiful like-an-Emerald valley soon. For this most important occasion, I will wear my most favorite uniform, and I want to promise you today that my arrival in your Kingdom will be a most important celebration for your peoples as well as mine. As you must know, your country is now being settled by many rich arab oil sheiks. As you also must importantly know, Big Daddy, a name my affection ate, loyal and loving subjects have bestowed on me. their benevolent ruler, never likes to be left out. So now I must importantly tell you, my beautiful friends, that I have bought this completely independent newspaper for $50. This arrangement came to be after lengthy discussions with your former Editor Malty Henson in my private refuge here in my beauti ful but too small Uganda. Henson, in his wisdom, has decided to remain here in big Daddy land to help in the construction of the Big Daddy Great Wall of Uganda, which will be much more important than the Chinese effort. I would also want you to know today that I will carry on in Malty, my good friend’s, tradition. Tradi tion, as you know, means very much to me, and my views, as you must also know are very importantly the same as Malty Henson’s were. I am looking for ward most importantly to giving you, my beautiful friends, an insight into Big Daddy that the distorted American newspapers haven’t given you before. Rest assured that your beloved Malty Henson will be very important as a brick in the Big Daddy Great Wall, and that I, your benevolent leader, will enjoy very importantly working for this very exciting newspaper! I know that you have had many problems with protest and unrest in your most important University, but rest assured that with Big Daddy as your most benevolent ruler, you will enjoy most delicious meats and wines. You will all be most blissfully happy with Big Daddy! Thank you my beautiful friends! Tirades ?????? In regards to Zip Puncho’s re sponse to John Geek’s response to lam Proletariat s response to Bour Wagee’s response to Mel Low’s response to Ben Telbo’s re sponse to Arthur Sprowt’s re sponse to I.M. Coul’s response to the April 10, 1974 letter by who ever it is who wrote to the Emerald to castigate the Geek system be cause of the pin-up calender featuring sexy sorority women with notes explaining bust sizes, personality traits, how fast to move in and what to avoid with each one: I really can’t say how the con versation turned from the calen der to the philosophy of underwa ter sex, but I'd like to point out that whoever wrote the first letter was suffering from bad logic and the inability to state her point pre c,sely Justin Fratter Auckland, New Zealand Update policy I think the Emerald editorial page has been deeply remiss in its duty to present letters to the editor in the order they arrive. On May 4, I wrote a letter about the recent Bay of Pigs invasion, as it has re cently come to be known, and it still hasn’t appeared in the paper in spite of your stated policy of running letters on a first-come first-served basis. With that aside, I’d like to Editor's note: this letter will be continued in tomorrow's edition, because of the lack of space in today’s edition. With regard to the first part of the first half of this let ter: What letter? Eliminate errors In a recent Immorald story headlined, “Is there life after con servatism,” several facts, gram matical and spelling errors were glaringly obvious. It would seem to me that the Immorald should half enough savwy to keep it’s product error free, and to accommodate his readers with germane stories, not rejects from Esquire. Placing George McGvem to the right of Lester Maddox, misusing gerands and antecedents and spelling the commonly used word “seiche’’ incorrectly are inexcus able. I would recommend the Im morald screen their many applic ant more carefully. Hopefully, the Immorald will get its acts together soon. Besides, it reflects on the journalism school. Hack Jart Journalism Prof. No problem I can’t help wondering what all the flap is about the a part time system as reported in the Im morald. The South African uses a part time to provide almost full employment. So what’s all the flap? A part time is perfectly accepta ble and should be used more in this country. South Africa is on the right track. It’s not entirely a black and white issue, however, be1 cause there's still a little bit of un employment in South Africa. Jimmy Carter the White House No more “nice guy” I have had it with you people making fun of those of us who are of the Polish persuasion. If these simpleton “Polock jokes" do not stop immediately, I will sneak into my house, when you least expect it, and hold all my family hostage!!
