Nation wants Pinochet ousted,
says former Chilean first lady
By Deborah Jane*
Of Uw tmniM
More than 85 percent of the Chilean popula
tion currently js-calling for democracy and the
overthrow of. Chile4* military dictator,- said
Mortensia Bussi de Allende. widow of former
president Salvador Allende who was assassinated
in 1973, . V :
"It's true there is terrorism in Chile, but it is
terrorism of the state." Allende told 500 people.
Wednesday.
Since 1983, opposition organisations have
become boldly vocal in denouncing the Augusto
Pinochet military regime in Chile, including stu
dent.movements. she said. "The students have no
arms other than stones, burning tires and block
ing (lie streets. Their leaders have gone to
prison."
Allende. who was exiled to Mexico with her
two daughters in 1973. has becomes highly vocal
advocate of reducing the debt that burdens most
Third World nations.
*The only recourse the govern
ment gives is repression. In
every national protest, unarm
ed people are assassinated
— Hortensia Bussi de Allende
latin America, for instance, has a $400
billion debt, and Chile, with a population of 11
million, has a $22 billion debt. Allende said.
Latin American nations paid $100 billion in in
terest from 1982 to 1984. she said.
The United States government and the Inter
national Monetary Fund see Latin America as ir
responsible — taking out loans in the 1970s when
the interest rate was low and en|oying the
benefits. Allende said.
"A U.S. government high official recently
said. 'The fiesta is over, now Latin America must
pay the bill.' Hut the people of those countries
didn't participate in that fiesta." she said. "It was
a decision oi a minority to accrue that debt, and it
benefited only that minority."
■ The impact of this debt is more than just an
economic burden. Allende said. "The magnitude
of the social tension which is derived from this
debt is° incredible. The care for the poor are
sacrificed. How much of that money do you think
went- for aduca'tkin, housing, health clinics or
'evenfor.industrial, development?”
-To- reduce the burden of this debt, Allende
said the World Bank and IMF must reduce the in
terest rate. "The debt responsibility must be
shared by North America also. It can’t be seen as
just a l,atin American problem."
Since 1973 when Pinochet came to power,
Chile’s debt has Jisen from $4 billion to $22
billion: Many of the banking institutions in Chile
have gone bankrupt, and the state has passed the
burden to the people, Allende said.
"They shouldn't pay the debt received by a
dictator that doesn’t, represent the people.”
Chile's unemployment level is more than 30
percept, and one-third of Chileans live in extreme
poverty. Allende said. In addition, Chile has the
highest. military, expenditure of all the Latin
American countries.
"The only recourse the government gives is
repression,.” Allende said “In every national
protest, unarmed people are assassinated.
"The government sets off bombs and then at
tributes them to the opposition to support the
repression," she added.
The opposition organizations now are unify
ing to call for a national strike to “provoke the fall
of the regime,"- Allende said.
Members’ of these organizations, including
the Popular Women’s Movement she helped
create before her exile, risk prison sentences, tor
ture, internal banishment and exile, she said.
However, the recent ousting of dictators in
both Haiti and the Philippines has given Chileans
hope, Allende said.
“The opposition forces have made 1986 a
decisive year for social mobilization," she said.
According to information documented in the
1975 U.S. Senate Select Committee hearings.
Allende's husband was assassinated by
Pinochet's military forces, which received in
telligence information from the CIA.
Commission advised
to move park north
By Paul Sturtz
Of tfcc EatnM
The future of the proposed Riverfront Research Park may
be pointed in a new direction or» the basis of consultants' fin
dings that urge a scaled-down and resituated development.
The reports — one submitted by an administrator at an
Arizona research park and the other by an Oakland economist
— advise the Riverfront Research Park Commission to place
the proieci closer to the Agate Street side of the development
instead of north of the railroad tracks as originally
considered
The seven-member commission formed to oversee
development of the park considered the consultants' reports
and the developer interview process at a meeting Monday
night at the University.
"1 thought there was a lot of meat in the reports. I'm go
ing to insist the commission get back to them and chew over
the items."' commission Vice President Sally Weston said
after the meeting.
Both reports argue for the protect to start at the Agate
Street entrance near the Coca-Cola Bottling Company
distribution facility to link the research complex with the
campus and its researchers.
In his report. Reginald Owens, an administrator of
Arizona State University’s research park, said the area north
of the railroad right of way should be reserved for a “mixed
housing/recreational/open space complex."
David Dowall. an Oakland economist, added that noise
and vibrations from the Southern Pacific railroad would
make it difficult for tenants doing sensitive work to locate
there
Dowall chided the commission for not conducting a
feasibility study of the project and for delaying decision
making until a developer is selected.
He wrote that by doing this, solutions reached will he
highly conservative. He advocated a research faculty group
be formed to select appropriate tenants who would connect
with research activities at the University.
With this in mind, University President Paul Oium
selected seven faculty members to assist in the recruitment of
firms: Rod Capaldi. biology; Bernd Crasemann, Chemical
Physics Institute; Eugene Luks. computer and information
science; Geraldine Richmond, chemistry; Richard Steers,
business administration; Peter von Hippel, chemistry; and
Hill Walker, special education and rehabilitation
Party hosts beware: Cover charges may be illegal
By Michael Rivers

Editor's note: This is the first in a two
part series exploring the legality of serv
ing alcoholic beverages at private par
ties. Friday's article will look at the
liability involved in serving liquor and
how some organizations have dealt with
the problem
Probably no one would dispute the
fact that parties are a favorite weekend
pastime for many University students.
When Friday arrives, many students
make a beeline to the EMU beer gardens
fof a quick couple of Iwers before begin
ning the party circuit
Depending on the cover charges and
the quality of the band, if there is one.
the parties soon develop into jostling
mobs of inebriated students. Worries and
anxieties are forgotten, and everyone
concentrates on having a good time, in
cluding the hosts.
But along with the party-goers, hosts
may be unwittingly inviting a deluge of
worries.
Private hosts and University housing
cooperatives are violating Oregon law if
they chargo guests a fee for entrance to
parties. Any person who owns or rents a
private place and doesn't have a license

Hosts offering party guests alcohol for a charge are committing a crime, accor
"ding to Oregon law.
for the sale of alcohol cannot exchange
alcoholic beverages for a financial con
sideration, says Jim Stevens, manager of
the the beer and wine section of the
Oregon Liquor Control Commission.
It doesn't matter if the cover charge is
called a "donation.” or if the hosts say
the fee is to cover the cost of the enter
tainment with “free” beer on the side,
he says. The practice is still illegal.
Occasionally, students advertise their
parties on flyers posted around campus
or in the classified section of the Oregon
Daily Emerald. While advertising parties
with a cover charge is not actually il
legal, Stevens says that if the party is
held and the cover collected, a crime is
being committed.
If a police officer were to show up at an
advertised party in plain clothes, gain
admittance by paying the cover charge
and receive a cup of beer, he would have
the right to seize all alcohol and alcohol
related cash on the premises. Stevens
says.
The likelihood of the question of en
trapment arising in a case like this is low
because if an officer has any suspicion a
crime is being committed, he has an
obligation to get involved. Stevens says.
Stevens, who used to work in the
Eugene OLCC office, says that in the past
when he saw posters advertising parties
with a cover, he would phone the party
throwers and inform them of the poten
tial misdeed. But he has since been
transferred, and he doesn't believe that
any other OLCC representatives have
