Blunderous
If the headline story (ODE
Jan. 15) is correct, then (a)
Governor Atiyeh is stupid, or
(b) the Emerald has given us yet
another blunderous news story.
I tend to think the latter.
According to the story,
Atiyeh is suggested to have said
that “Oregonians have three
alternatives to the sales tax.”
Those alternatives are quoted
as:
1. “A 1.5 percent property tax
limitation”
2. “Crown(ing) Oregon as the
r
undisputed income tax capital
of the nation”
3. (The only favorable alter
native:) “A. carefully written
sales tax ...”
Therefore, if I understand the
story correctly, the only
favorable alternative to the sales
tax is the sales tax.
Now, in fairness to the
Emerald, I searched other
newspapers for a similar quote
or reference to the Governor’s
speech and found none. So
what’s the story. Emerald
Editors? Is Governor Atiyeh
stupid, or has the Emerald

given us another blunderous
news story?
The Emerald seems proud of
the fact that they’re one of the
largest daily newspapers in the
state of Oregon (and one of the
few to endorse Walter Mon
dale), but I certainly hope it’s
not their intent to make Gover
nor Atiyeh look stupid just
because he’s a Republican.

Best around
I would like to take this op
portunity to praise the Oregon
Daily Emerald for its fairness
and accuracy in reporting, and
accessability to students.
I would also like to thank the
Emerald for allowing my guest
commentary on pornography to
be printed (ODE, Jan. 14) and
running a prompt correction on
the Michigan Police Study error
that appeared (it was 43 per
cent, not 43 out of 35,000 sex
crimes in which pornography
was found to be a major factor
involved).
I may disagree with most of
the Emerald’s editorials, but
during the election and after
wards, the Emerald covered
events for both conservative and
liberal groups fairly. They’ve
also printed most letters

without censorship regardless
of how they felt about the cause.
The Emerald has proven itself to
be the best, and fairest, of any of
the other student publications
on campus.
Keep up the good work.

Welcome back
I like the welcome back I get
on campus during registration.
The financial aid office is an ex
hilerating experience. You
know they give out little
numbers like my mom used to
get at Nordstroms when she’d
take our family to get shoes each
school year. Kinda cool, but
where’s the shoes?
At one point, 1 felt nearly rob
bed in Mac Court. I mean
everything went so smooth.
Registration is the one time per
term that 1 have every right in
the world to get pissed off.
Didn’t happen this term. I’m
suspect of what may happen
spring term. Who knows?
Maybe, as ancient rumor has
suggested, registration will
finally be turned over to modern
computer techno-drive.
God save us.
“Save”: Now there’s a word.
Do you realize how much
money a student can “save” if
he uses all the coupons and pro
motions that end up in his
pockets after passing Mac Court
during registration?
I have absolutely no idea how
they got there, but my pockets
were stuffed with coupons, and
my car windshield was a
beautiful collage of promotions
from local merchants. Cool.
But I got my calculator out. . .
1 figured that if I spent
$532.27, I could save $48.
Forty-eight bucks. That’s
almost fifty smackers I could
save. I’m a student: I need to
save money. All’s I gotta do is
sacrifice my tuition and I can
save fifty bucks. Hey, I’m there.
I’m gonna be doin’ a lotta pizza
and film processing, but I’ll be
savin’ money. Cool?. . .COOL.
