Part of the job
The tragic death of Linda
White Frazier once again points
up the high premium placed on
the free flow of information and
the risks that journalists face.
Linda was a courageous and
gifted journalist who died in the
line of duty covering the com
plex and convoluted issues in
one of the most turbulent
regions of the world.
Linda and her husband, Joe
Frazier, who I first met as
students at the Oregon Daily
Emerald, knew and understood
the great risks they faced in
Central America, but believed
that there were profoundly im
portant reasons to be at the
scene of international conflict
in order to adequately cover the
news.
Linda White is warmly
remembered at the University of
Oregon.
In conversations with Joe
Frazier last summer, I recall
discussing the great risks in in
ternational reporting. What
seemed a distant matter then is
wrenching and personal now.

Screech is right
The newspaper threw
everything/ into its respective
box —/ the girls, the noise, the
purple./ The janitor saw two/
“white females juveniles”/ run
through the lobby/ and out a
side door —/ the only door not
locked by a deadbolt. He had
heard it —/ a “splat-type”
noise./ Broken ribbons of pur
ple/ shocked the wall, the
words,/ it was dis-graceful,/
some of the serif tails/ on the let
ters flew off,/ the o’s in noble
and good/ had their eyes forced
open/ just a little bit wider./
What is the speed of purple?/
Whatever it is, it’s fast enough/
to tickle my retinas,/ my light
sensitive cells,/ the inner space
of my eyes/ that you can not ac
tually see./ Retina, retina — I
remember/ giving a whole
report/ in eighth grade science/
saying re-Tina, re-Tina;/1 made
this part of the eye/ a woman or
a girl —/ Tina Acardo was a
friend of mine:/ we grew up on
the same deadend street
together,/ white, female,
juvenile;/ we played violin
together,/ we screeched
together.

liberal, I have serious trouble
perceiving the University of
Oregon as being a predominant
ly “liberal campus’’; if this is
indeed the case then Hotchkiss’
denial of funding to the Com
mentator is a slap in the face of
the campus at large.
Serious liberals have a duty to
actively support dissent: if we
merely tolerate it we are
evading responsibility; if we ac
tively suppress it we are no
longer liberals, but fascists.
Though I disagree with most of
the opinions expressed in the
Commentator I nevertheless
voted in favor of funding it. You
see, many people do agree with
such views, and I feel it infinite
ly more productive to confront
these ideas in a public forum,
rather than sweep them under a
carpet and hope they will go
away (they won’t).
As far as damaging “people’s
notion of what the right to vote
means,’’ if the funding vote was
indeed “non-binding” as
publicly stated, then making it
binding after the fact is the
source of damage. If we are now
to consider this vote binding it
would seem equitable to
drastically cut the Emerald’s
budget, in view of the tiny ma
jority by which it was passed. In
fact, I would have no argument
against trimming $5,000 from
the Emerald’s funding and giv
ing it to the Commentator.
It is interesting to note that
after all the brouhaha concern
ing the Commentator’s receipt
off-campus funding Hotch
kiss has taken the one action
which will force the paper to
again seek such funding; I find
this almost as entertaining as
the “liberal” Emerald accepting
money from the CIA to run their
recruiting ads (5/24/84). . .

Dirty wheel deal
Saturday night June 2, as I left
the EMU after several hours of
studying, I discovered that
someone had twisted my bike
around in the rack so that its
front wheel was bent completly
out of shape.
I don’t know what kind of vile
creature would do such a thing,
but I prefer to believe that
anyone with a grudge against
me would have the courage to
communicate directly. Perhaps,
then, it was someone who is
clumsy to the point of posing a
hazard to the community, or
who is acting out Road Warrior
fantasies. In either case, he (for I
presume he is a he) should see a
doctor immediately.
Most likely, though, it was
someone who gets his kicks out
of smashing bikes. If so, he
reminds me of many three-year
olds, who, if not watched
carefully, will take other peo
ple’s toys for their own and
break them. The difference is
that my bicycle is not a toy; like
many students, I depend on it
for transportation. Since I work
to put myself through school, it
will probably be months before 1
can afford a new front wheel.
I know better than to think the
culprit to be within the reach of
reason, but I hope my letter will
make him so ashamed as to
throw himself in the Willamette
River. This campus has no place
for such a childish vandal.
P.S. I’m offering a $12 reward
for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of the bike
smasher. Call 686-5043 days or
345-6156 nights.

Out of context
In response to Donna
Holleran’s letter to the editor in
the June 1 issue of the ODE
demanding that I clarify my
self...
I was in fact co-editor of “Off
the Record,” an ASUO ex
ecutive publication started this
year to promote ASUO pro
grams. At the IFC hearing on
May 23, I argued in favor of the
ASUO executive veto denying
the unusually high level of
funding granted to another
fledgling independent universi
ty publication, the Oregon Com
mentator. I made several points,
the first that funding for “Off
the Record” for the 1984-85
school year was cut approx
imately in half. I am also co
editor of the Oregon Advocate,
the Survival Center’s
newsmagazine, which has been
in existence 14 years, not 18
years as reported in the ODE ar
ticle Holleran referred to. This
publication was granted, after
some discussion with the IFC,
an additional $200 above the
$1,800 level received for
1983-84. My argument was that
granting the Commentator
$5,000 was extreme in light of
these facts.
I can imagine Holleran’s
righteous indignation and the
confusion it must have caused
her, being duped in this horri
ble fashion. For my part, I
apologize for being quoted out
of context. Honestly.
To avoid harming anyone fur
ther, I must clarify one more
point regarding my appoint
ment to the publications coor
dinator position for the 1984-85
school year. While I will con
tinue to edit “Off the Record”
(which will be in its second
year, for those counting) I will
not be editing the Survival
Center’s Oregon Advocate, as
reported in the June 1 ODE. The
Oregon Advocate is published
by the Survival Center, not the
ASUO executive.
Holleran, a slight admoni
tion. Don’t believe everything
you read, and enjoy your
summer.
