planning for the heated contest to come
in the gubernatorial general election in
November. A series of six debates Imt
ween I’aulus and Goldschmidt is ex
pected to be held around the state in the
months to come During the primary
campaign, both candidates mentioned a
desire to debate.
In races for national offices, as
predicted, incumbent U.S. Sen. Bob
Pack wood. R-Ore.. defeated challenger
Joe Lutz in the Republican senatorial
primary with 58 percent of the
Republican vote. However. Lutz receiv
ed a surprising 42 percent and actually
beat Packwood in nine of Oregon's 36
counties.
Pre-election polls consistently showed
Lutz trailing Packwood substantially.
Packwood's pre-election. anti-Lutz.
campaign ads were credited with some
responsibility for Lutz’s late gain in sup
port. Flection experts speculated that the
mention of Lutz in Packwood's ads in
creased Lutz’s name recognition.
Jim Weaver, D-Kugene. won bis
party's nomination to campaign against
Packwood for the U.S. Senate seat.
Weaver carried nearly 64 percent of the
vote.
In the highly anticipated District 4
IJ.S. House race, lane County Commis
sioner Peter DeFazio squeaked by with a
slim margin over state Sen. Hill Brad
bury. D-Bandon.
DeFazio opened a commanding lead
early with the results from lane County
precincts, but late results from Coos.
Curry and Douglas counties boosted
Bradbury back into the race. However,
with most of the votes in from counties
other than lane, it appeared that
DeFazio would be able to withstand
Bradbury’s onslaught.
Margie Hendriksen. the third
Democratic candidate in the District 4
race, trailed Bradbury by a small
percentage.

The Oregon State Board of
Higher Education Tuesday
reversed its decision to
withhold a tuition waiver tax
from graduate teaching fellows'
paychecks, said Barbara
Mossberg, acting dean of the
Graduate School.
"The board is not going to
withhold taxes for May or June,
and the money that has been
withheld will be returned,"
Mossberg said.
Joe Sicotte, associate vice
chancellor of the Oregon State
System of Higher Education,
said Vice Chancellor Bill Lem
man and staff members worked
on the issue over the weekend
and found nothing that would
hinder reversing the decision.
He said all of those affected
will receive a refund for the
deductions from their April
paychecks by June 16.
"I don't know for sure how
the new decision will affect fall
term, but 1 believe that the in
dications of the House of
Representatives and the U.S.
Senate show that we will not
have to withhold retroactive to
January 31. 1986.” Sicotte said.
Chuck Hunt, president of the
Graduate Teaching Fellows
Federation union local said his
first reaction io the news of the
reversal was "absolute joy.”
"The stupidity of the other
decision finally pulled it down
and put a stop to it." Hunt said.
"I wish the original decision
had never been made in the first
place, and at least right now we
are back to square one." he
added.
Scott Kerlin. of the GTFF
union, said he was discouraged
with the situation until he heard
about the reversal.
"People were getting angry,
eviction notices were being
served to some GTFs. and I was

Black fraternity originated
to provide support system

Editor's Note: This is the second article in
a two-part series about Kappa Alpha Psi. a
black fraternity currently being organized on
campus.
Despite the four-year Civil War battle from
t881-65, blacks still lived in a racist socieiy
when the first black fraternity was founded in
1911.
Ten black men enrolled at Indiana Univer
sity in Bloomington were almost completely
ignored by both white students and the
administration.
The men were denied participation in
contact sports, and were only allowed to join
track and field events. They also were denied
use of entertainment and recreational
facilities.
At that time, blacks also were refused en
trance into the white fraternites — unless they
entered as waiters, cooks, janitors or
chauffeurs.
Yet the black men, led by Byron Arm
strong and Elder Watson Diggs, decided that
the solidified friendships that can form in a
fraternity would help to alleviate some of the
isolation they were forced to live with every
day.
On May 15. 1911. Kappa Alpha Nu. one of
the first black fraternities, was incorporated as
a national fraternity. Kappa Alpha Nu is now
known as Kappa Alpha Psi. and claims famous
aiumni including Mayor Tom Bradley of Los
Angeles, basketball greats Bill Russell and
Wilt Chamberlain, and singing star Johnny
Mathis.
Kappa Alpha Psi was first introduced to
the University in February 1981. Anthony
Austin, one of the original six members, says
the Kappas' objective was "to form a support
group with a high sense of priority on
academic achievement."
The Kappas were involved in numerous
community activities such as the Big
Brother/Big Sister Program and drug
awareness programs. As far as social life went,
the Kappas involved themselves exclusively
with the predominantly black sorority. Alpha
