Hard beliefs
I find it hard to believe that 80
percent of the college students
in this country can afford to go
to a private school but choose
to go to a public school I find it
hard to believe that 80 percent
of the students in this country
prefer over-crowded classes
and under-paid professors I
find it hard to believe that 80
percent of the students in this
country don't need financial aid
I find it hard to believe that 80
percent of the students in this
country don't care how their
money is spent I find it hard to
believe that 80 percent of the
students in this country don t
care abut a single political is
sue
Unfortunately, it's true
Here, at the University, we
have followed tha national trend
of low-voter turnout and are
paying for it By not voting we
have given Gov Atiyeh and the
state legislature the opportunity
to eliminate $59 million from
higher education without their
worrying about how we're going
to vote If we can t afford to go to
private institutions and if we
can t afford to go without
financial aid. then we should
spend 15 minutes on Nov 2 and
vote
If we don't spend 15 minutes
on Nov 2, how long will we
spend regretting it?

Stop decay
In the previous two years,
Oregon has slipped four places
in funding for higher education
— from 44th to 48th
Currently Oregon has the
highest tuition rate of state
supported schools in the West,
Also. Oregon's professors are
among the lowest paid for the
Pac-10
Although one man cannot be
blamed for all these problems,
the current state administration
under Gov Vic Atiyeh has not
shown concern for the decline
of higher education
During the past four years, the
current administration has cut
the state budget by $55 million
The cuts were in services and
not bureaucracy Specifically,
the cuts in higher education
have resulted in declining
enrollment, less research
dollars and in professors
leaving our universities
In effect, the current admin
istration settled for short-term
political gains, but long-term
sacrifices — the bad effects on
higher education have only
begun
On Nov 2, students will have
a chance to stop this decay of
higher education
Ted Kulongoski, candidate
for governor, believes that a
strong system of higher educa
tion is a key to recruiting high
tech firms and diversifying Ore
gon's economy
J
He believes that the budget
can be balanced without cutting
student loans and grants
As a state senator. Ted
Kulongoski has been a strong
supporter of higher education
and believes that we can get our
colleges and unfversities back
on their feet
Vote Ted Kulongoski for
governor on Nov 2

Favorable
It seems that Ross Anthony,
an honorable man, has said in
effect: "I come to bury Weaver,
not to praise him!"
I think Jim Weaver's strong
record should insure that he will
not be buried when election
time comes and should further
insure for him the praise of our
favorable votes at the polls
For Jim has stood up against
all kinds of special interests and
massive opposition on the ques
tions of environment, power,
decent forest management,
forest industries, atomic arms
control and many other issues
Anyone who chooses to serve
his state as Weaver has chosen
to serve Oregon is following a
rough path, things being as they
are in this world As a tough and
honest fighter for us, the
people, he has my complete
confidence and my vote
