All the women criticized the department’s
lack of inclusion of graduates in research
efforts. Simeral says that often the job can
didates who meet the department’s publish
ing criteria are those who have published
with a dissertation adviser— a situation not
generally shared by University graduates.
‘The advisers are the springboard for
one to get into journals,” Simeral says of the
faculty ongoing research.
“Without benefit of that kind of guidance,
I wrote a dissertation that won a national
dissertation research award from the
Economic Development Administration
and the Regional Science Administration,”
Friedman notes.
Simeral says it’s difficult to determine
whether the department desires quantity or
quality when it comes to the research re
quirement.
"I think it’s either,” Newton says. “I think
it’s clear that they want people who can lift
them out of third-rate status.”
Simeral says the department does not
value service.
“They would much rather have us talking
to two or three people in the country in some
obscure journal rather than hundreds of
Margaret Simeral
people in Oregon,’ she says.
Friedman and Newton do a consider
able amount of research that is funded by
grants. Shortly after her instructional posi
tion was terminated, Newton wrote several
research grants as a research associate of
the University at no cost to the department,
which received at least 40 percent of the
Julia Friedman
grant monies.
“I like the irony that Jan is let go for no
reason and then supports herself com
pletely doing private research,” Friedman
says. “I would never work for the depart
ment again. It has been an incredibly de
structive experience.”

‘I would certainly echo that,” Newman
says. “I left the department feeling totally
inadequate.”
“It is really insidious the way they can
evaluate people and make them feel in
ferior,” Simeral concludes. “I just refuse to
accept it.”
Minister says ad
‘campaign tactic’
By ANN TRENEMAN
Of the Emerald
Presbyterian campus minister
Douglas Huneke says he will file
an election violation today with the
Attorney General against the
Concerned Citizens of Eugene
(CCE) protesting an ad which ap
peared in Monday's Register
Guard.
The ad, paid for by the CCE,
urged a Yes vote on Ballot Meas
ure 51 and stated nine church’s
"Teachings on Homosexuality.”
All church’s were quoted as op
posing homosexuality.
Ballot Measure 51, which is
being voted on today by Eugene
voters, would repeal the city’s
human rights ordinance, deleting
the phrase which would prevent
discrimination on the basis of
“sexual preference.”
Huneke, who is actively cam
paigning for a no vote on 51, says
the ad, which stated the Pres
byterian position as “Homosex
uality is not God’s wish for His
children... but is a result of
man’s fallen condition,” did not in
any way reflect the church’s
stand.
He says it was a “last minute
campaign tactic” and that the
statement was “lifted out of differ
ent reports which do not in any
way reflect the church’s official
doctrine.”
He emphasized that Monday
the Presbyterian General Assem
bly, the overruling body for all Pres
byterian churches, reaffirmed
their position since 1970 endors
ing full civil rights for homosexual
persons at a conference in San
Diego.
However the General Assembly
voted overwhelmingly not to sanc
tion the ordination of acknow
ledged, practicing homosexuals
Monday.
Huneke added that the state
ments in the ad reflecting Epis
copalian and Roman Catholic
stands are not official church
policies and that the churches are
falsely represented by the ad.
Huneke says he called the CCE
and asked them to retract their
statements and that they refused.
Silvia Fortick, CCE treasurer,
when contacted last night said she
had “no comment” on the Huneke
action.
“Filing this suit is our only re
course,” he says. “These are
clearly false and inflammatory
statements.” Huneke says church
leaders are telegramming him to
night to provide support for the
suit.
‘They (the CCE) are trying to
divide the church community,” he
says.
Larry Dean, Voice campaign
manager, when asked what he
thought about Huneke’s action
says, "If this is a campaign tactic
on either party’s part to get news
in the paper it’s a cheap tactic.”
Dean added the CCE had no offi
cial linkage with VOICE, which is
the primary organization urging a
Yes vote on 51.
Another VOICE worker Mary
Etta Free, says that she felt the ad
had "sufficiently documented” its
information and that it in no way
inferred that this was the church’s
stand.
Dean also noted that Huneke
has been “very” vocal in his out
rage against organizations and
people working for a yes vote on
51.
There will be a press confer
ence at the Eugene Hotel at 10
p.m. Tuesday where Eugene Citi
zens for Human Rights (ECHR),
the organization urging a no vote
on 51, will make a stand on the
lawsuit. However Huneke says he
will act as an individual and not as
an ECHR member while filing the
suit.
