Hot
President in year 2000?
By Hank Trotter
OfttwEnwraM
Last October, while most
candidates were stumping for
the Nov. 2 electior, one man
was campaigning for an
election 18 years in the future.
The man is Dr. Larry Holden
and he wants to be president of
the United States in the year
2000.
The 39-year-old former psy
chology professor drove into
Eugene this October in his
Dodge Dart for an anything
but-whirlwind campaign stop.
His "Campaign for Human
Understanding” has carried him
from his base city of Asheville,
North Carolina, through more
than ten cities on the way to
Eugene. The trek, which began
May 20, is a two-year "figure
eight” of the country.
Currently, there is no party
backing him. But with his
campaign, Holden hopes by the
year 2000 to not only have
formed a party to nominate him
— the Human Party — but also to
have transformed the con
sciousness of the American
citizenry.
This change in the human
psyche is necessary to bring
about the needed change in the
operation of government.
Holden says. “Anyone with wide
open eyes can see there is a
crisis” in the world, he says,
adding that he belives the
source of the crisis is within our
consciousness.
"The Human Party, unlike
other political parties in
American history, will be based
Larry Holden
on a perceived need for an
inward psychological trans
formation," Holden says.
"This transformation shall be
manifested, in its outward form,
by concerned individuals
coming together to accomplish
(humanitarian) objectives.”
How does one go about
transforming the conscious
ness of an entire nation?
“One of the easiest ways is by
putting questions to people,” he
says. "I am asking people to
look at their own life. Can you go
past your own ambition and end
the competition within yourself?
Can you live life more simply
and stop being self-centered
and start thinking in terms of
us?”
Holden attacks the “fatalism,
apathy and complacency” that
he says he sees in this country.
Holden is serious in his
attempt at the presidency, but
admits that the campaign is also
an arresting way to present ms
ideas to an audience who
otherwise might not be
receptive.
He officially kicked off his
campaign on Jan. 26,1982, with
an announcement at the Soup
Stone restaurant in Asheville. In
the speech he called for a new
spiritual-humanitarian political
base and asked individuals to
once again become involved in
the political process.
In the 1960s, Americans
turned outward to change soci
ety without first understanding
themselves, Holden says. In the
1970s, people turned "fatalis
tically" into themselves and
were indifferent to the outside
world. Holden says we must
move outward again in the
1980s, but with an understand
ing of what we learned from
our inward look.
The 1990s will be a time of
political action for the newly
formed Human Party and the
decade will see the party take
the "reins of government" thus
bringing "human beings" into
office, he says.
"The current political system
emphasizes things like
charisma and popularity,"
Holden points out. "I’m
emphasizing more qualities like
wisdom, integrity, vision and the
capacity to see broadly and
deeply.”
"We don't have government
now. We have political conflict,"
he says "I think the right poli
tical system would not be
competitive Government im

RCYB scolds Register-Guard
Demonstrators gathered out
side the Eugene Register-Guard
office Monday to protest what
they called an anti-communist
attitude a the daily newspaper.
According to James
McComb, Register-Guard
advertising director, six to eight
members of the Revolutionary
Communist Youth Brigade
gathered outside the building
for about an hour, talking with
reporters and passers-by
The group's unsuccessful
attempt to publish an
advertisement in the newspaper
apparently prompted the
demonstration The rejected ad
lists supporters of two RCYB
members convicted of burning a
yellow ribbon at a speech given
by former Iranian hostage Victor
Tomseth Feb 9, 1981
The RCYB is trying to over
turn the ribbon burners' arson
conviction, which Brigade
members say is "clearly intend
ed as a message of warning to
all those who dare to oppose the
national unity' and blind loyalty
for the U S government's
RCYB members protested at the Register-Guard building Monday
crimes against the people ot the
world "
According to a press release
from the Committee to Free the
Yellow Ribbon Burners, "It Is no
accident that the Register
Guard has now refused to print
the support statement and ad as
written and floated out policy'
counter to their practice
McComb says the Register
Guard agreed to run the text of
the ad but claimed that the list of
endorsements was not valid and
shouldn't be used
He says the ad listed
organizations which had signed
an endorsement petition, then
added names of individuals
affiliated with these organiza
tions He said these people
hadn't signed the petition
The RCYB claimed to be
using the names for "identifica
tion purposes only," McComb
says
