Econ notes
Let's have a big round of ap
plause for American ingenuity.
We Americans seem to have a
certain 'knack' at creating new
economic markets. We sell
weapons to Israel who sells
them for us to Iran. We sell
weapons to Iraq who is fighting
Iran. Then when Iraq and Iran
start using these weapons, we
sell more weapons to other
countries to protect themselves
from the weapons we have sold
to their neighbors. We even of
fer to establish military bases in
their country to protect them
from our weapons. It's a good
thing that we are a peaceful lov
ing nation or I might be wor
ried. I mean as long as Americar
corporations are making money
off the war they are
perpetuating, it must be OK
Right?

grams for a badly dislocated
work force, implementing
speedy permit processing,
developing adequate infrastruc
ture, and support for our small
business community are essen
tial elements of economic
recovery.
I will also lead the discussion
of our environmental agenda,
which includes sound land use
planning, recycling programs,
solid waste disposal, solar
energy development, and the
protection of our wildlife
habitat, estuaries, and
groundwater.
I am looking forward to
discussing these issues and
others. Voters of South Eugene
will have a clear choice in
deciding who will represent
them on the Board of County
Commissioners.

Friends
I have missed the “Oliver"
strip in recent issues of the
Emerald. Friends and I have
come to enjoy his everyday an
tics which seem to always bring
out the humor in our own lives.
I enjoy "Oliver" much more
than the nationally run "Bloom
County" and certainly more
than what appears to be
"Oliver's" replacement, "Ver
satile Cow."
"Versatile Cow" is so far
fetched and out of place for a
college newspaper that it's not
funny (no pun intended). Bring
back "Oliver" even if you have
to keep this other strip. I feel
you have more than adequate
space to run "Oliver" especially
after seeing anti-American
editorial cartoons (without
editorials) in the middle of your
paper. I am appalled to see my
IFC money, which supports the
Emerald, going toward biased
i political views. I feel anti
American views and editorial
cartooning should at very least
be balanced with pro-American
editorials, or otherwise be cut.
i The "Emerald" goes out of its
way to put down the national
government and lets many of
i the campuses everyday issues
and activities slide by with little
i or no coverage. As a campus
newspaper the Emerald should
t stick to covering issues, articles,
editorials, and cartoons here at
i the University; and let real
I newspapers like the "Guard"
I and the "Oregonian" cover
? state, national, and world news.

conversation overheard
on campus
Why don't we sit down and talk...work out the flaws
in our relationship?
Not at Burton's again!
Why not? It's the best restaurant
Because you'll just lose yourself in one of those
hamburgers with the great sauce, the grilled onions,
and the obvious slice of tomato, hugged lovingly by
melted cheese...
Followed by one of those raspberry shakes made
with real milk and fruit toppings instead of artificial
syrups?
/ had a truly fresh salad, with chilled tomatoes,
sauteed cucumbers, and creamy roquefort dressing.
Oh, yes, and an apricot Italian soda...
Let's go. We'll talk there.
Let's eat first. We can talk anywhere.
What about our relationship?
You could start by picking up the tab.
