    Mash those missiles
Rally seeks to stop nuclear deployment
By Brooks Dareff
Of the Emerald
Pres. Ronald Reagan's assurance Wednesday that
United States medium range Pershing II and cruise
missiles will be deployed on schedule later this year
has not altered plans for this weekend's Oregon
Euromissile Rally, says rally coordinator Margot
Beutler. B
The Portland rally will go on as scheduled —
beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday at the South Park
Blocks, near Portland State University between
Market and Columbia streets, Beutler says.
The deployment is going to go on,” she says. "I
see a corollary to the events of 1968 and 1969 during
the Vietnam War,” when “massive demonstrations
forced Nixon to end the war.”
"I think we're in a similar situation," she says.
"The governments want those missiles there but a
growing number of people don't."
In West Germany, where 204 of the 572 U.S.
nuclear missiles scheduled for installation — in
cluding all 108 Pershing II missiles — will be housed,
a public opinion survey released Tuesday by the
news magazine "Stern" showed the number of West
Germans supporting deployment has dropped from
.17 percent to 31 percent in the last month.
Also on Tuesday, former Chancellor Willy
Brandt, the leader of West Germany's largest opposi
tion party, agreed to speak at a major anti-nuclear ral
ly in Bonn on Saturday.
The fact that Reagan actually thought he had to
confirm that deployment would begin as scheduled
in December, indicates the ' administration is feeling
pressure," Beutler says.
The weapons build-down is a public relations
"sham," just another case of "replacing old weapons
with new weapons," Beutler says.
An official announcement on removal of 1,500
tactical nuclear warheads from Europe by the United
States may be made this weekend at a meeting of
NATO defense ministers in Ottawa, according to
Philip Smith of Newhouse News Service.

A Eugene contact for rides going to the rally is
Clergy and Laity Concerned, according to Beutler.
CALC can be reached at 485-1755.
The march will proceed from the South Park
Blocks to Waterfront Park for a noon rally. Speakers
will include British filmmaker Peter Watkins, whose
film about Britain after a nuclear attack was banned
by the BBC, and Norwegian peace researcher |ohan
Calpung, who will speak about "European Perspec
tives on Nuclear War."
ASUCJ wants to get on-line

The ASUO executive branch intends to ask the
Inc idental Fee Committee for money to purchase a
one-user micro-computer system estimated to cost
nearly $6,000, says ASUO Vice-Pres. Kevin Kouns.
Kouns says the system could pay for itself in two
years, according to research conducted by the
ASUO.
The estimated cost includes a display terminal, a
high quality printer, a system to hookup with other
computers, capability to adapt from one user to three
users, several software programs and installation.
However, maintenance cost is not included and
the ASUO must determine whether to purchase a
service contract with the system, says Susan
Sowards, ASUO executive coordinator.
She says because the cost exceeds $500, the
ASUO will ask for specific bids, as required within
the state system, and present the lowest bid to the
IFC.
Kouns outlines five major functions expected of
the system.
The first, word processing, could save ASUO
$2,000 to $3,000 annually in typesetting costs, he says.
The group has checked with the Oregon Daily
Emerald and the Springfield News regarding typeset
ting costs and bases its estimated savings on those
r
findings, Kouns-says.
He says ASUO publications such as the pro
gram’s newspaper, the course guide, the program
preview and the election guide could be printed by
the word processor.
A second function is to computerize the ASUO
controller's office. Kouns says computerizing the
books and ledgers will save money because it will be
easier to "stay on top of a program's status" and aid
in preparing budgets.
One ASUO project already underway, the stu
dent lobby network, depends on the purchase of the
system, he says. The network requires a computer to
sort voter registration cards and mail information to
voters if it is to function efficiently, says Kouns.
Also, the system would be able to hookup with
other systems, such as the computer operated by the
United States Students' Association, and receive in
formation on legislative and political acitivities from
other parts of the country, he says.
One long-term goal for the project is to establish
a course and professor evaluation program available
to University students, he says.
Kouns says the ASUO won't ask the IFC for the
full cost because there is about $3,000 in a surplus ac
count since the positions of executive coordinator
and student advocate were formed from what was
one position.
