Olum gnaws on ROTC at lunch
By loan Herman
Of the Emerald
University Pres. Paul Olum had more than lunch
with students at a brown bag forum Wednesday, as a
lively discussion ensued over the University's handl
ing of the ROTC/sexual orientation issue.
ASUO Executive assistant Sherri Schultz asked
Olum why a fact-finding commitee to look into the
ROTC had not yet been formed, even though five
months have passed since Olum purportedly agreed
to do so.
"I'm not refusing to appoint a committee and I'm
not dragging my feet," said Olum.
Olum reportedly agreed to the committee's for
mation last spring, following five months of debate in
which Philosophy Prof. Cheyney Ryan claimed the
military science department violates University affir
mative action policies by preventing homosexuals
from receiving ROTC scholarships, obtaining faculty
positions and entering into its upper-division
program.
Schultz wrote Olum a strongly worded letter
Oct.20 asking him why no committee had been
formed.
With nearly 30 students munching sandwiches in
the EMU Forum Room, Olum said he had "never
agreed" to form such a committee. In Friday's
Emerald, however, former ACLU Director Doug
Marker, said Olum had agreed to such a committee
last spring.
Although he supports a fact-finding body, Olum
said "The worst mistake that could be made is to
treat it as a political committee. We agreed we need a
fact-finding committee to ask 'Who is allowed to take
ROTC courses? Who gets course material? Who is
commissioned? Who becomes an officer?'
"But I don't think this group should conclude
whether or not the ROTC violates affirmative action
procedure. These are matters of policy and must be
decided by discussion and debate, not by a
committee.”
Olum said he will send a letter within a few days
to key "players” in the ROTC issue, such as ASUO
Pres. Mary Hotchkiss and Ryan. The letter will name
the committee's six members and the questions it
should address.
"On the profound fundamental issue of whether
or not the ROTC should stay, I don't think we're go
ing to be helped by a committee," Olum said.
Although much of the informal meeting centered
on the ROTC issue, students and Olum also discuss
ed the University's parking space problems, possible
implementation of a semester system and the pro
posed changes in faculty governance.
Terrorists try to drive away tomb guard
By Patrick Low
Of the Emerald
It was about 11:30 Halloween
night when Jon Wood and Kara
Kawashima got home after a long
evening of studying at the EMU.
As they approached their house
they were surprised that all the
pumpkins they had left on their
porch were missing. Only a lone
pumpkin lid remained.
Mystified, Wood began looking
around and found a rain-soaked,
orange sheet of paper 6n the
ground in front of the porch. The
note said: "You have been visited
by the Pl.O," in large capital let
ters at the top of the page.
"The Pumpkin Liberation
Organization has liberated your
jack-o-lantern," the note con
tinued, "and delivered it unto the
Great Pumpkin."
Wood and Kawashima were not
the only victims, though, as the

fiends also struck the house next
door and the one across the
street.
Mark Brenneman, a 20-year-old
neighbor, said he was missing
four pumpkins from his porch.
But he did not receive a note.
“I didn't know about this (the
PLO), until the neighbors came
by,” Brenneman said.
This is the third straight Hallo
ween that these pumpkin
purloiners have struck. This year
about 300 pumpkins were stolen
from Eugene and Springfield por
ches and placed at the entrance to
Springfield, which, according to
the note, covers the tomb of the
Great Pumpkin.
The Great Pumpkin, who
allegedly once lived in Springfield,
rises out of his tomb every Hallo
ween to "deliver the souls of his
jack-o-lantern comrades into pum
pkin paradise,” the note says.
Then the Useless Horseman —
"that colossal white monstrosity
that guards the gateway to Spr
ingfield”— was erected over the
Great Pumpkin's tomb, preven
ting his resurrection each Hallo
ween, according to the note.
"And now,” the note says, "the
lost souls of our pumpkin com
rades are doomed to wander
aimlessly in limbo until the Great
Pumpkin can rise once again and
lead them to their destiny.”
The note ends with an ominous
warning:
"The PLO has marched on City
Hall for two years now to no avail.
Now it is time for action. We have
marshalled our forces. . .(and) we
shall run the Useless Horseman
off our patch and once again be
united with the Great Pumpkin.”
Signed: "Respectfully, Yeswere
Veryfat, PLO Chief."
As the last candles of surviving
jack-o-lanterns flickered out on
Halloween night, the city was safe
once more.
But when next Halloween rolls
around, who knows where or
when this dreaded group will
strike and leave yet another trail of
brokenhearted pumpkin lovers in
their wake?
Perhaps KLCC announcer Peter
Nothnagle summed it up best
when he said over the air, "having
a pumpkin stolen on Halloween is
not unusual, but only in Eugene
would it be stolen for political
reasons."
