Unbeaten Ducks meet Vikings
A pair of undefeated teams with a lot in
common will take to the mat Friday night at
McArthur Court when Oregon hosts Portland
State in a 7:30 p.m dual meet
One thing the two squads have in common is
their first dual meet victim, Humboldt State, whom
the Ducks blanked 47-0 and the Vikings defeated
39-8 The Ducks other dual meet conquest came
against Washington State 30-6 last weekend on
the road The win over Humboldt was PSU's only
dual meet action so far
Another thing the two teams have in common
is the series record, which stands at 18-18-5
going into Friday s match Last season the Ducks
downed the Viks three times, winning by scores of
30-24. 29-7 and 30-11
Duck coach Ron Finley called Friday's
matchup "excellent " He noted that the strength
of PSU matches up well with the strength of his
team, pointing to the 118-pound matchup of the
Viks freshman Anthony Amado and Duck
sophomore Mike Erb as an exciting one
Other key matches will be at 142 and 150 At
142 PSU all-American Charlie Lucas will be
challenged by either sophomore Thor Edvalson
or freshman Lorenzo West At 150, the Viks' Rick
McReynolds, a senior who went to nationals last
season, will take on the Ducks Bill Nugent
Holes is another thing the two squads have in
common While the Ducks have injury problems,
the Viks have lost two of their top wrestlers in
Kevin Benson and Scott Mansur due to eligibility
problems Losing those two has weakened the
Viks in the middle weights where they have been
strong in recent years, but Finley said the rest of
PSU's squad is pretty strong
OPEN LETTER TO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, STAFF AND FACULTY
The economic recession in Oregon has reduced the state's 1981-83 revenue
projection by an estimated $250 million. The Governor and legislative leaders
have called a special session of the Legislature on January 11th to deal with
the problem. There are only two ways to come up with $250 million: cut expen
ditures or raise revenues. The Governor has asked all state agencies, including
Higher Education, to prepare plans for cutting their budgets by 20%.
The Chancellor of the State System of Higher Education has proposed four
5% steps to meet a possible 20% cut:
1. tuition increases and faculty layoffs
2. salary reduction for all employees of the Oregon State System of
Higher Education
3. closing programs, firing faculty and staff and reducing enrollment
4. closing more programs, firing more faculty and staff and further
reducing enrollment
We believe that raising tuition will price many students out of an education
as surely as further program cuts will deny Oregonians access to education
essential in our complex industrialized society. Both tuition increases and
program cuts require students to bear a major burden of Oregon's budgetary woes.
But cutting faculty and staff salaries—whether by reducing pay or putting
employees on furlough—is unacceptable in a state which already severely under
pays its college and university employees.
Higher Education's budget was cut severely by the last Legislature. We are
convinced that however one organizes the Chancellor's proposed steps to achieve
an additional 20% cut in Higher Education, those steps are educationally and
morally unacceptable and even, possibly, of dubious legality.
We're all in this together. Other reasonable revenue measures should be
carefully considered by the Legislature to solve this financial situation. The
only way to impress the Governor and the Legislature with the importance of
finding alternatives to cutting Higher Education's budget is by working in the
spirit of shared responsibility.
Take time between terms to write to your representatives and to the Governor,
to contact influential citizens in your towns and cities. Talk to parents and
friends, help them to realize that it is not just you or we but the education of
all future Oregonians which is placed in jeopardy by possible cuts.
Write from home: letters from all over Oregon count far more than a few
letters from Eugene. Address your letter to your representative, State Capitol,
Salem, Oregon 97310. But, above all, WRITE!

Saturday night
The Oregon women's
basketball team may face a
team almost identical to itself
this Saturday night when the
Ducks face a tall and talented
Utah women's team at McArthur
Court
"A lot of people I have talked
to say that Utah is very much the
same as Oregon,'' said head
coach Elwin Heiny ' They are
tall and have a lot of scoring
potential ”
Both teams boast big, strong
high-scoring front lines Both
teams have lost three starters
from last season, and both
teams have been beaten by
Colorado who it turn has bea
ten No 3 ranked Tennessee this
season
The Lady Utes are 2-3 on the
season with wins over Hawaii
and Washington Oregon is 2-1
with victories over Cal-lrvine
and Arizona State Both wins
were in the Cal Women's Invita
tional last weekend The Ducks
lost in the championship to
Colorado
Utah's frontliners are tall The
Lady Utes are led by 6-1
sophomore Debby Asper with
20 points per game and 10
rebounds 6-3 junior Sandy
Kovack averages 14 5 points an
outing and 9 rebounds Filling
out the lineup is 6-2 Anne Hardy
who scores 9 points and 10
rebounds
I think playing a big team will
be good for us,” Heiny said
"The game should be a good
matchup between us and Utah
We won t change what we are
doing offensively because of
their size but have to go into the
game maybe a little differently I
think we should beat them We
are ranked and they aren't "
