The cover letter began, "Dear
Friend: I’m sure you receive'
many letters each week de
scribing the dangers faced by
our nation, but I hope you’ll take
the time to read every word I’m
writing you today. It could be the
most important letter you’ll ever
receive, or I’ll ever write.”
I did read the letter, and it was
important — because I realized
the organization that sent me
the letter, Americans for Nu
clear Power, and the man who
wrote it, ANP chairer Douglas
Lee, are frightening examples of
the "dangers faced by our na
tion.”
"You see, there’s a growing
movement in America to stop
growth, limit prosperity and halt
all forms of energy develop
ment, thus forcing us into a
radically altered lifestyle,” Lee
writes.
"This movement is led by a
new generation of professional
activists trained in the ’60s and
70s by an educational system
that moralized about our free
market system being evil and
oppressive
“They now hold positions as
teachers, lawyers, college
professors, top government
bureaucrats, television, radio
and newspaper reporters, lead
ing actors and musicians, even
congressmen and senators.”
This all-inclusive type of par
anoia did not die with Joseph
McCarthy.
Lee says the real goal of these
activists is power. “(1) Power to
run the government. (2) Power
to control the educational sys
tem. (3) Power to dictate in
dividual decisions. (3) Power to
control private property. (4)
Power to control each of our
lives.
"The leaders of the coercive
Utopians know what they’re do
ing. They did it in their anti-war
efforts, and they are determined
(to) undermine our freedoms
again.
"Last time, the losers were
the now-suffering peoples of
Vietnam and Cambodia, where
a modern-day holocaust has
meant genocide for millions of
Cambodians and death for
hundreds of thousands of
refugees and boat people in
Southeast Asia.”
Lee says the activists have
now set their sights on "you,
me, our families and the future
of freedom in our nation."
"They know energy is the
lifeblood of our economy. It
provides the power needed to
run our advanced industrial
system which gives us our jobs,
our high standard of living, the
opportunity for the American
Dream’ and just to live.”
Lee goes on to relate specific
examples: "Coal has been out
lawed in many cases due to
pollution levels, and mining has
been greatly restricted to limit
production.”
Later he says nuclear power
is the activists’ major target
because it is "the knockout
blow they must have to cripple
our economy and create the
disruptions necessary for their
power grab to succeed."
Unfortunately, the letter is not
a hoax. Americans for Nuclear
Power is a real group that claims
to be “safeguarding the future
and the freedom of our nation."
Lee says he serves as ANP
chairer because he has seen
"the results of their program
imposed on many peoples of the
world, all with terrible repres
sion, murders, loss of individual
and property rights, and the to
tal loss of freedom.”
I can’t help believing Douglas
Lee is a very confused person,
or maybe he has been reading
the memoirs of Henry Kissinger.
Dist. 40 candidates
debate on campus
By ALAN HARRIS
Of the Emerald
A debate between Oregon
House Dist. 40 candidates didn’t
draw a huge crowd in the EMU
Friday.
But that didn’t stop the two
Republicans and seven
Democrats running for that seat
from making personal pitches
or, in one case, from sending a
representative to make a pitch.
The independent candidate,
Bruce Anderson, didn’t attend
and didn’t send a representive.
Speakers were each given
five minutes to address the is
sues of state child-care support,
health insurance for part-time
state employees, state support
for higher education, faculty
unions and faculty evaluations.
Then they had a few minutes to
answer questions from the
handful of people who wan
dered in and out.
Democrats in attendance
were: Don Chalmers, Jack
Craig, Margie Hendriksen, Carl
Hosticka, Larry Perry and Ted
Romoser. Another Democrat,
Ruth Shepherd, was represent
ed by a campaign worker. The
Republicans in the race are
Shirley Whitehead and Nick Tri.
The topic of faculty unions
received a lot of attention from
some of the candidates.
Faculty salaries at the Univer
sity have declined 17 percent in
the past eight years, and that’s
“abominable,” Chalmers, the
director of the University's Of
fice of Student Advocacy, said.
Hendriksen, Lane County
counsel, said she has learned
that University faculty members
are “suffering terribly,” adding
that she “has no problem with
collective bargaining or the
right to strike if that is the facul
ty’s choice.’’
“I don’t like the idea of unions
generally,” said Hosticka, a
University professor.
But although he said he feels
unions tend to constrict a col
lege’s ability to adapt to chang
ing situations and detract from
departmental authority, Hos
ticka said he would favor union
izing if all else fails.
Teachers have to be careful
because they have very
"hopeful and idealized” atti
tudes, said Romoser, a teacher
at Lane Community College
Teachers forget they are sur
rounded by a bureaucracy that
often isn’t sensitive to their
needs, he said. Romoser was
one of three teachers who or
ganized the LCC teachers’ un
ion.
All the candidates but Whi
tehead and Craig addressed the
issue of faculty evaluations. The
rest said they definitely support
student evaluations as a means
of evaluating faculty members.
But open access to that infor
mation for students was a stick
ier matter.
Perry, who has held the Dist.
40 seat twice before and pre
sently teaches at South Eugene
High School, didn’t commit
himself on the open access is
sue.
Shepherd, an ex-Eugene
School Board member, is for
open access, according to her
representative.
As an attorney, Hendriksen
said she considers faculty
members in the same public
figure light as baseball players
and actors. If the criteria is set
up properly there should be no
reason why interested students
can’t have access to at least
part of the evaluation material,
Hendriksen said Portland State
University allows partial access,
she added.
Hosticka, Chalmers and
Romoser agreed that student
evaluations are essential but
also agreed it is hard to know
how to use them.
Student evaluations are
needed because students are
the only ones in the classroom,
and management has not
learned how to evaluate faculty,
Romoser said.
Institutes of higher education
should be more aggressive in
marketing their curricula to the
needs of the communities, said
Whitehead, a Eugene construc
tion firm owner.
“I do feel we need to alter the
urge to pump more money into
higher education,” Whitehead
said.
The other candidates disa
greed with Whitehead on state
funding of higher education.
Education is the "biggest in
dustry in Dist. 40,” and will need
all the friends it can get to fend
off budget cuts in the next
Legislature, said Craig, a former
state legislator and current
member of the Eugene Water
and Electric Board.
