Reagan — Bush
As university students, soon
we will head out into the job
market and our aspirations may
take many of us to different
parts of the United States. In the
coming presidential election,
we have the American freedom
to choose our leader for the
future. The state of the nation’s
economy will be vital to the suc
cess of each one of us.
While it’s true that Oregon’s
economy is still suffering from
the lingering effects of the
Carter administration, in the
last four years the stability of
the nation’s economy as a
whole has steadily increased.
There are facts that we
already know to aid us in our
decision. For instance, inflation
rates have remained steady at
less than 4 percent for the last
two years. Also, 6.2 million
new jobs have been created
since 1980. Unemployment has
decreased from 12.5% during
the last administration to 7.3%
currently and is dropping. (The
economy is considered at full
employment at approximately
5.2%).
The Reagan administration’s
economic policies have
graciously handed the college
students of the ’80’s a country
of opportunity. One would be
foolish to ignore the pertinent
facts. Make the right choice for
your future, vote Reagan/Bush
’84.

excellent record on protecting

pornography. Also. President
Reagan has supported strong
legislation to crack down on
child pornographers. Way to
go! NBC aired a documentary
on August 25 showing studies
that prove child pornography
greatly contributes to child
molestation.
Republicans and conservative
Democrats supported this
legislation and the only opposi
tion came from liberal so-called
“civil libertarian” types who
believe it went contrary to
“freedom of speech.” For
tunately, they can’t show one
bit of evidence that the founders
of this nation believed
everything on paper was pro
tected speech.
In 1982 Reagan supported
and signed the “Missing
Children’s Act,” sponsored by
conservative Republican
Senator Paula Hawkins of
Florida. He also successfully
fought for the creation and fun
ding of the "National Center for
Missing and Exploited
Children." He has also strongly
supported drunk driving
crackdowns — along with fun
ding — to stop the senseless
slaughter of men, women, and
children on our nation's streets.
Almost all of us will be
parents within the next few
years and crime control will not
only affect us but our children
as well. President Reagan has a
record which is pro-victim and
which any sensible and in
telligent person would support.

Don't censor
Response to Scott Kerlin’s let
ter (ODE Oct. 12).
I’m afraid you’ve missed the
point. Ron Munion makes the
point that “rights” should not
be contingent on the approval of
others. It is really quite a simple
argument. In this case it means
that students should be allowed
to hear the Marines speak —
even if you don’t approve. It’s
okay to protest, but wrong to
obstruct others’ freedoms.
Why don’t you organize a
peace rally? Find a creative way
to express your concerns. Share
the wisdom of lessons learned
with us kids. Set up an anti-war
booth on the other side of the
EMU. You should express your
opinion.
Bearing in mind the diversity
of our student body, I find it
remarkable that you feel com
fortable postulating on the “Im
pact of that War.” I am too
young to have been in the war,
but the war still had an impact
on me. My brother lost his leg,
my cousin lost his life, and I
watched my mother cry every
night during the evening news.
I don’t like having the
Marines here, and I don’t want
to see others lose their lives.
The fact remains that I have not
been given the right to censor or
block others from exposure to
opinions I don’t feel comfor
table with — and neither have
you.

Think about it
I realize that this is the season
for educated people to be
writing letters in support of
their favorite candidates.
Regardless of whether they are
analytical, independent minded
people for Mondale and Far
raro. irrational cuitists for the
Rajneesh candidates, or young
conservatives blinded by a
sense of nationalism which
borders on fascism.
Truly I could not understand
how intelligent people could be
whipped into a frenzied state as
German citizens were by
Hitler. . .until I heard George
Bush speak in his debate against
Ms. Ferraro.
I do not seek to accuse the
Reagan administration of being
fascist, only of taking advantage
of the American peoples' pride
in the same manner as a fascist
leader would. Nationalism may
be a good and useful feeling,
but abused national fervor is
nearly as dangerous as abused
religious farvor. Evidence of
this may be seen in current
times in Iran and from the
Jonestown massacre.
I challenge everyone to
divorce themselves from this
nationalism and think of
themselves as a world citizen
when they are choosing a can
didate. Do not be disillusioned
by reports of the “evil" Soviets.
I have been there and the people
were friendly, but even more
afraid of the U.S. than
Americans are of them.
“Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you." But
don’t join the crowd without
asking why it is there.

Human rights
Dan Goulet's letter of Oct. 5
— wherein he reports that “at
least 95% of all human rights
violations world-wide occur at
the hands of left-wing death
squads” — constitutes a
disclosure of incredible
magnitude.
Mr. Goulet’s findings would
surely be received with intense
interest by the members of
Amnesty International. Their
work, which was honored with
a Nobel Peace Prize, seemed to
indicate that human rights
violations occur the world over
in countries ruled by people
with political philosophies as
diverse as humanity itself.
I urge Mr. Goulet to make his
findings available to another
recipient of the Nobel Peace
Prize: Adolfo Perez Esquivel of
Argentina. Mr. Perez Esquivel,
himself once jailed and tortured
by the military government in
Argentina in the late 1970's,
was recognized for his work in
human rights in Latin America.
Goulet’s statement that 95%
or more of all human rights
violations are committed by
left-wingers certainly puts a dif
ferent glint on things. One
wonders, however, if the untold
thousands of prisoners of cons
cience wasting away in jails
from Iran to South Africa. Chile
to Guatemala, Turkey to the
Phillipines, or South Korea to
Mexico, will get any comfort
from the fact that they are in
that five percent group being
oppressed and beaten by non
left-wingers.
For those thousands who
have already died in jail or at
the hands of torturers
worldwide, the news, of course,
comes too late to be of any
solace at all.
