all my children
Pine Valley is proof that
America isn’t a classless society.
The “uppah” crust definitely see
themselves as superior and peo
ple like Donna Beck Tyler are a
hazard to deal with.
Donna came to the show as a
patient at the local hospital after
her pimp threw her from a moving
car. She sold herself for a living,
but the worst part was she drop
ped her “g"s. A tumultuous child
hood had sentenced her to a life of
under-education and poor
speech.
But Donna arrived at a con
venient time. She wanted to leave
the life of a Locust Street (in
near-by Center City) prostitute
and the handsome and moder
ately successful Dr. Chuck Tyler
offered a chance.
You’ll remember (you probably
won’t, but it’s a nice transition)
Chuck from the first column. He's
part of the Chuck-Tara-Phil
traingle and as Donna entered, he
was divorcing Tara, allowing her
to marry Phil. The loss of Tara
created a void in Chuck, which he
filled (though he didn’t admit it ’till
recently) with Donna, and an
18-year-old prostitute without a
high school education.
The two eventually ended up
gettin’ hitched, but Donna has
been jealous of Tara throughout
the marriage. There’s been good
reason — Chuck has never stop
ped loving Tara, and it’s made her
skip town a few times and ended
up making her flee to Center City,
where she drove in front of a mov
ing train.
The wreck’s filled Chuck with
guilt (Donna split cause she found
evidence Chuck had been at the
lake with Tara) and forced Donna
to black out the last two years. She
doesn't know she’s Chuck’s wife,
that she left the street behind and
got her high school degree.
The amnesia fits right in with
Chuck’s plans — he and Tara are
getting back together and he
wants to get free of Donna. He
realizes he never really loved
Donna and is seeking to divorce
her because she’s loony.
Nice try, Chucko.
Thursday Chuck went to see his
lawyer uncle, Line Tyler, to see if
the law would let him dump Donna
before she got her head on
straight. The request prompted
disdainful looks from Line, along
with a lecture.
“Chuck, you’ve got a legal, and
moral, responsibility to take care
of Donna.”
Board increases
textbook discount
The University Bookstore
Board of Directors unanimously
voted to increase the textbook
discount from 10 to 11 percent
Thursday night in a one-year ex
periment. The increase will cost
the bookstore an estimated
$17,000. The discount is sub
sidized by other book store sales.
Board member Janet Eggleston
said that textbooks were the
bookstore’s primary service to
students and proposed an in
crease to 12 percent. Board
member Mark Farley felt that a 2
percent increase, at a cost of
$34,000, would be too risky and
proposed the 1 percent increase.
The other board members, who
represent University students, fa
culty and staff, quickly agreed
The Bookstore board will review
the decision next fall to determine
whether the increase to 11 per
cent should be made permanent.
In other action, the board
unanimously determined that
there was no surplus in working
capital from the 1977-1978 year.
The Bookstore bylaws require the
board to annually make that de
termination. If surplus capital is
found to exist it must be turned
over to the University.
By another unanimous vote the
board voted to increase wages by
eight percent effective October
16. This brought the bookstore's
base wage to $2.95, five cents
over minimum wage. The top pos
sible hourly wage at the bookstore
is $6.50 for assistant department
managers.
In another unanimous vote,
University Relations Director
Muriel Jackson abstaining, the
board approved a request from
the Graduate Teaching Fellow
Federation (GTFF) to allow a cof
fee table for strikers by the side of
the bookstqre should the GTFF
strike.

Oregon Daily Emerald
What a drag. With her new hair
style, Tara’s looking pretty sharp.
Anyway, a divorce would have
been too easy. Phil’s back from
commando training (he's one of
Pine Valley’s people in blue) and
ready to fight for Tara. Tara can’t
handle it (women don’t respond
well to pressure) and Chuck’s
tired of being the fall guy; he’s
fighting for what he wants, not
what is best for everyone.
Looks like Donna’s taste of the
high life might be short.
But Donna isn’t alone in her
plight. Nancy Grant Blair is right
beside her.
As one of Pine Valley’s few
black people, Nancy is limited in
her romantic choices. The only
inter-racial romances on the show
have been between pimps and
their “girls.” A concerned social
worker, Nancy married a black
doctor at the hospital, Frank
Grant. Their marriage hit the rocks
when Nancy took a job in Chicago
(Frank allowed there was “only
room in this marriage for one
career),” and Frank started mes
sing around with Carolyn, a nurse.
Nancy came back to town to
have it out with Frank and they
had it out by taking to the bed. Of
course Nancy conceived and
though Frank doesn’t know it
(mysterious parentage is a staple
in Pine Valley) bore a child
fathered by Frank.
Looked like Nancy was going to
get out of it by marrying a guy from
Chicago who knew she was preg
nant with her ex's baby. But it
wasn’t to be. Flying from Chicago,
the groom-to-be was in a bad
crash, he croaked, but on his way
out he unwittingly told Carolyn the
whole story.
So now Nancy’s moved back to
Pine Valley, baby in tow, and
Carolyn wants to bear Frank’s
child so he won’t be tempted to go
to Nancy when he finds out the
kind is his.
