The Graduate Teaching
Fellows Federation is the union
that represents the approx
imately 900 (;TFs employed by
the University. The executive
board of the GTFF has joined in
the call for an independent
committee to be appointed to
investigate current University
policy and procedure for deal
ing with complaints of sexual
harassment
As long as the perception ex
ists that the current avenues are
inadequate or poorly ad
ministered. efforts to expose
harassment will be hampered
All members of the University
community have a right to an
environment fits- from sexual
harassment. We call upon Presi
dent Olum and the rest of the
University administration to
lake immediate action to correct
the current situation.
An investigative committee
must be formed, the administra
tion must re-evaluate its com
mitment to nondiscrimination
and a climate must be fostered
where individuals are free to
protect themselves from harass
ment and discrimination
without fear of retribution.
Chuck Hunt
Executive board of the GTFF
Student power
“State Hoard should Watch
over ASUO” (ODE editorial.
Oct. 15) skims the surface of a
very complex issue, instead
critici/.ing the very purpose of
democratically-elected student
government.
We are not involved in a con
troversy with the State Board,
but with the Chancellor's Of
fice. For 17 years our incidental
ha.- budget approved by the
Hoard has included the ASUO
Legal Services Program. The
Board has never questioned this
expenditure This year was no
exception
The Chancellor's Office is
now trying to assert greater con
trol over this service. We have a
legitimate concern that an effec
tive program could l>e com
promised. We have resisted
their proposed changes.
The ASUO executive does
"serve the needs of the Univer
sity." The role of student
government is to advocate for
the best interests of students.
Wo will continue to work to in
sure student input into projects
like the Dome and the River
front Development.

issue, we are suing not to "force
the Board.” but to allow them to
carry out a decision they made
in 1977 to divest all endowment
funds from firms having
substantial investments in
.South Africa.
Maybe the University of
Oregon students are more
liberal than the editorial staff
can accept Regardless the
answer to balanced representa
tion is not an appeal to Presi
dent Olum or the State Board for
assistance: it is found in the
ASUO elections.
Any student who suggests
state intervention as an alter
native or a complement to our
elections clearly doesn't
understand student
empowerment.

Where's Pete?
Besides distorting Bruce
bing's true goals and positions
on the issues, the DeFazio
television ads leave me wonder
ing: Where's Pete?
Practically every commercial
I've seen (paid lor by the
DeFazio campaign) has some
unidentified announcer in the
background telling us how to
vote We see still-life photos of
DeFazio. appearing like he's do
ing his taxes or something, but
no Pete!
Can’t Pete speak for himself?
After all. Bruce lx>ng doesn't
seem to have any problem clear
ly and honestly stating his posi
tions in front of the camera.
Oh well, judging from the
way DeFazio performed in one
of the recent debates or the ra
tionale hi; uses to attack sound
proposals of his opponent (stu
dent IKAs for example) maybe
it's best to continue with the
anonymous announcer.

Begging
With the closure of the stu
dent parking lot near Hayward
Field, the already inequitable
student parking situation has
become appallingly ine
quitable. Student lots farthest
from campus are parked full
early each morning while the
many lots and streets allocated
to "faculty and staff only"
much closer in are less than 25
percent full.
The student is the "paying
client" at the University, yet the
ratio of student parking spaces
to students versus faculty/staff
spaces to faculty/staff is blatant
ly high. I don’t mind walking
farther, out of respect to faculty
and staff, but I do mind not fin
ding any legal space in any stu
dent lot while faculty/staff lots
are half empty, and paying dai
ly parking tickets on top of per
mit fees.
Traditionally, all students
can do is beg for fairness l
hereby beg that students be
given legal access to a few more
of the lots on campus as soon as
possible. Perhaps if other
students drop off little notes
{"Give students more of the
parking!") to the Office of
Public Safety (across from
Hayward) this week, mass begg
ing will have some effect.

Yes on 5
Everyone who is concerned
about the future of freedom
should vote for Ballot Measure 5
on election day.
As long as a majority of peo
ple cling to the notion of
government as a kind of super
parent. telling them what to do
every day of their lives and
"making it better" when
something goes wrong, the
basic question of drug laws will
remain unresolved. These peo
ple will bicker endlessly over
the proper "balance" between
health and freedom, and then
use all the weapons of govern
ment to make "war" on their
fellow citizens who make dif
ferent choices.
In response to this war.
Measure 5, proposes a kind of
"demilitarized zone." It can’t
bring complete peace, but it
will reduce the damage to the
"civilian population": the vast
majority of responsible citizens
who are in danger of losing
every traditional civil liberty as
this war escalates.
Take a first step toward
peace. Vote for 5.

Smoking
It is shocking to me that the
University allows students to
smoke in the hallways and
nooks and crannies of its
buildings.
l)r. Arnold Trebach, director
of the Institute on Drugs. Crime,
and lustice in Washington,
D.C., was quoted by the
Emerald. Oct. 22. as stating.
"The worst drug, perhaps, on
the face of the earth in terms of
its addictiveness potential and
its impact on human beings, is
tobacco.” He also says that he
"would like to see America get
ting tougher on the legal drugs,
such as alcohol and
tobacco...."
In the face of such statements
from Dr. Trebach as well is the
overwhelming medical
evidence of tobacco's effects on
the smoker as well as those ex
posed to second-hand smoke,
isn't it time the University took
a stand for clean air?
