It’s but a matter of hours now
before Jan. 20 is here, when
Reagan will be sworn in and the
Living Dead will rise up and
gnaw the flesh of the
Progressive and Enlightened.
However, the P and E haven’t
been completely idle. ..
• The most noticable of the
local anti-Reagan activities was
“The People’s Inaugural,’’
which took place this past week
end. "The People” had a lot of
energy and enthusiasm, but
nothing really unusual hap
pened. They just spoke out
againsi war and capitalism and
sexism and stuff.
Student attendance at the
march and rally seemed to be
relatively light, with most of the
footpower coming from
Eugene’s leftistalternative com
munity. The speakers seemed to
be a pretty fair sampling of the
1981 version of our local Left —
half the time was spent shouting
about “People United,’’ bring
ing down governments and
similar themes while the other
half was spent complaining
about the cutbacks in welfare
and human services.
• It was pretty difficult for
sensationalism-seeking scribes
to find any really negative reac
tion to the march from Eugene’s
bourgeoisie. More typical was
the reaction of man talking to
woman in a downtown shop as
“Dykes For Peace’’ and
Ex-editor

Jones Magazine will speak on

Ages" in the EMU Tuesday at 8

A liberal economist, Parker

cluding the New York Times, the
Los Angeles Times and the Wa
shington Post. His books in

"Reagan Sux" signs were car

"It's really nostalgic, isn’t it?"
he said.
• A somewhat more light
hearted celebration will take
place this Tuesday at
Democratic headquarters at
857 Willamette St., where the
"Democrats’ Inaugural Brawl”
will celebrate the approaching
Republican Depression with a
genuine soupline Those at
tending are to bring their favor
ite soup or salad, and a 25-cents
entry fee will make suds and
wine available.
• For those who care to keep
up on the latest fashions, the
People's Inaugural seemed to
indicate that the Mormon
Church is beginning to give
Jerry Falwell and Co. a run for
their money for top spot on the
local hate and loathing charts.
The mention of the Mormon
Church (“A financial corpora
tion...The most patriarchal or
ganization I know of," as one
local leftist described it) was
greeted with even more hisses
than that of the evil California
cowboy himself.
The crowd was cheered,
however, by news of a legal suit
supposedly soon to be filed
against church leaders because
of the anti-ERA stand taken by
the church.
• Last November while cam
paigning in Battlecreek, Mich.,
Reagan left a message that
could be pondered in the wake
of the televised Ronald Reagan
film festival:
“A little while ago they were
calling out Bonzo. They’d better
be careful. Bonzo grew up to be
King Kong."
• It still remains unclear
whether the Reagan adminis
tration will be into its second or
third week before the word goes
forth from this and similar cam
puses that conservatism has
been tried and failed
