Elective offices popular
SALEM (AP) — Politicians may not be at the
top of the public's image list, but there’s no
shortage of candidates for state offices in
Oregon
The filing deadline for the May 18 primary
election is 5 p m Tuesday As of Friday, almost
300 people had filed with the secretary of state's
office as candidates for congressional, legisla
tive, statewide and judicial offices
The filing deadline traditionally attracts
scores of people to the House chamber in the
Capitol, some to file for office and many others to
watch them
So far, 20 people have filed for the five U S.
House seats up for election, including all four
incumbent congressmen
Oregon gained a House seat because of
population growth disclosed in the 1980 census
Freshman Rep Denny Smith, who was elect
ed in the 2nd District, is seeking the Republican
Party nomination in the new 5th District in the
Willamette Valley Five people have filed for the
Democratic nomination
Smith’s move leaves the 2nd District seat up
for grabs Two Republicans and four Democrats
have filed for that primary election contest
Among incumbents, only freshman
Democratic U S Rep Ron Wyden hasn't attract
ed any primary election opponent
Republican Gov Vic Atiyeh is seeking a
second term, and four contenders have filed for
the Democratic nomination for governor.
Two Democrats are challenging State Labor
Commissioner Mary Roberts' bid for renomina
tion
Among nonpartisan races, State Superinten
dent of Public Instruction Verne Duncan so far
has five opponents in his race for re-election.
Nonpartisan contests are settled in the
primary unless no candidate gets a majority of the
votes In that case, the top two finalists face each
other in the November general election.
Some 150 candidates have filed for nomina
tions to state legislative seats. All 60 House seats
and 15 of the 30 Senate seats are up for election
this year
Rep Ed Lindquist, D-Gladstone, is trying to
unseat Sen Walt Brown, D-Milwaukie, and
Democratic Reps Jane Cease and Gretchen
Kafoury are squared off in House District 19 in
Portland Kafoury and Cease ended up in the
same district after their seats were reapportioned
last year to reflect population shifts revealed by
the census
As might be expected, the contests with the
most candidates are mainly those for newly drawn
seats or seats being vacated by incumbents
Six Democrats, for example, have filed for the
nomination in House District 18 in Northeast
Portland, which has no incumbent.
riersn named economic liaison
Richard Hersh, associate provost for
research and dean of the University's graduate
school, has been chosen to serve as the Univer
sity s liaison for economic development
In that capacity, Hersh will serve on Eugene's
Joint Committee on Economic Development and
will provide information to people wishing to know
how the University can contribute to efforts to
broaden the state's economic base
The University is committed to assisting local
and state officials in attracting new industry to the
state, and to providing expertise to Oregon firms
interested in expansion, says University Pres
Paul Olum
An inventory of resources and expertise in
University departments is already underway, says
Hersh
That inventory will include, for example, the
University's expertise and equipment in
biomedical and biotechnical research, laser
technology, computers, chemical physics re
search and so on," Hersh says
An eftort is also being made to identify faculty
members who are now consulting or could be
consultants for industry, Hersh says A faculty
committee on economic development also has
been established
"We know we can be important in the
process of economic development, and we want
to be as helpful as possible in that effort,” Hersh
says There are possibilities for special summer
programs and continuing education for company
employees, collaborative research with compan
ies, and having industry specialists serve as
adjunct professors at the University, Hersh
says
Calls to congressmen urged

to encourage students to speak out about
proposed financial aid cuts
At the University, a phone will be provided
in the ASUO office, EMU Suite 4, so students
can call their federal legislator's Oregon of
fices
Students can use "tie-lines'' to call their
federal senators and representatives offices in
Eugene or Portland, says Dave Berns, ASUO
legislative coordinator
"We may have started to get it across, but we
need to keep pushing it,” Berns says about the
continuing effort to puDiicize tne ertects of Pres.
Reagan's proposed cuts.
Berns suggests students talk about their
personal situation, and what the effect of the
financial aid cuts will be on them and their
education "This way, you know they're listening
to you," he says
Meanwhile, the letter-writing campaign
sponsored by the ASUO and SUAB continues
today A total of 560 letters were turned in by
Friday, Berns says
We re really happy with 560 — but you'd
think people would show a little more concern,"
he says
Greeks offer freshman scholarships
University sororities and fraternities recently
joined in sponsoring a Bunion Derby” to fund
scholarships for entering freshmen
The result is two scholarships worth $250
each that will be awarded to a graduating male
and female high school student this spring.
During the derby, typically held each term,
sorority members attend parties at five mystery”
fraternity houses, paying from 25 cents to 50
cents at each party, according to Panhellenic
representative Leslie Drate
Another derby is planned during Greek Week
this spring, Drate says
The scholarships will be awarded on the
basis of merit and scholarship, not financial need,
she says
