Diverse anti-MX interests
blast Drooosed ‘monster’
By MIKE ANDERSON
Of the Emerald
Construction of the MX
missile system actually would
reduce national security, a
Great Basin Alliance represen
tative claimed Saturday.
Joe Griggs and four other
Nevada and Utah residents
brought their nation-wide tour
opposing the MX missile system
to the EMU for a presentation
sponsored by the Survival
Center, Clergy and Laity Con
cerned and the Great Basin Al
liance.
Edwin Firmage, a University
of Salt Lake City law professor,
said construction of the missile
system will cause ‘‘grave in
stability.” He said the MX has
50,000 times the destructive
capability of the bomb dropped
on Hiroshima.
Firmage called the proposed
THE PAPER
t CAPER
system — a network of roadways
and railways connecting more
than 50 possible deployment
sites for each missile — a
“harebrained scheme.”
“The MX missile threatens life
itself, the most fundamental of
all human rights," said Firmage,
who says he favors a morator
ium on all nuclear testing and
development.
‘The MX missile
threatens life itself,
the most fundamen
tal of all human
rights’
Both Firmage and retired Ad
miral John Lee questioned the
system's '‘shell-game’’ con
cealment plan.
Lee called this latest step in
the arms race a “slippery
slope," and maintained that
each new weapon moves the
United States closer to the point
of no return.
The system’s flaws, Lee said,
include intrinsic vulnerability,
open-ended extension of the
arms race, and practical infer
iority to an alternative defense
system. The MX system will be
obsolete before it is complete,
he said, and that will leave the
United States just as vulnerable.
“We should recognize that
we’re powerful enough," Lee
said.
Shifting the deployment sys
tem to sea and shifting to
smaller weapons are more
practical alternatives, he said.

Sacred Land Association, said
construction of the MX missile
threatens the natural lifestyle of
the Shoshone Indians as well as
the lifestyles of residents near
construction sites.
“Construction of these huge
monsters constitutes the des
truction of the Indian people,”
Moose said.
Nevada rancher Don Spring
meyer said the MX’s impact on
water, grazing and socio-econ
omic factors are not problems
plaguing just ranchers — they
are threats to the entire nation.
Plant life in construction
areas will undergo permanent
and irreversible damage, the
cattleman said, while the quality
and quantity of the water — the
most valuable resource in the
Great Basin region — will be
severely affected.
The land area required to
build the MX system is the size
of the state of Pennsylvania, and
area farmers can’t cope with
that loss, Springmeyer said.
“We’re here to fight the
government. Together,
hopefully we can persuade the
government to abandon this
madness.”

Position Statement
For
UO Bookstore
Board of Directors
Paul Barish
Freshman Position
My name is Paul Barish, and I am running for the
Freshman position on the Board of Directors for the
University of Oregon Bookstore. I am a Business major
who enjoys challenges of all kinds, and I am not afraid to
work hard in order to get a job done. I worked in an
accounting firm for a year as an Assistant Accountant,
and I worked in a hardware store for a year as Assistant
Manager. I believe my experience will be valuable input to
the Board.
This is an important position to me for a good reason.
I use the Bookstore to buy many things, especially books,
and I would like to become involved in saving time and
money for all of us who use the Bookstore. I see the
Bookstore as an invaluable resource for us as students to
cut our expenses by using our membership in the
Bookstore to our advantage. I would like to, through
membership on the Board, put into effect constructive
ideas to make the Bookstore work more efficiently for us.
