Conversion
It is important that students
along with older citizens con
sider the impact of condo con
version in Eugene. Those
students who already live in
“high-rises” at 11th and Patter
son or 16th and Olive know that
they would lose their apart
ments if their buildings were
converted under the proposed
conversion regulations.
However, all of us who rent
should speak out against con
version and against the propos
ed regulation changes because
they will force most of those
persons currently in the “high
rises’ ’ to seek housing
elsewhere — in a market which
is already tight and increasingly
expensive. If our enrollment in
creases at the same time these
conversions occur, you can im
agine how hard it will become
to find any housing, much less
secure an affordable unit.
Those apartment buildings
are among the safest places in
town and they are also an en
vironment where young and
old. professional and student
can live and interact daily
— as opposed to the “mono
cultural” and often unsafe
housing near campus. Condo
conversion always shoves out
the “less-profitable,” students
and the elderly, and yes, it is
particularly hard on the older
person for whom change is
more difficult. Hut we all stand
to lose if buildings are con
verted, and students will pay
dearly for an increasingly dif
ficult to find and expensive
place to live. Please write to the
Eugene City Council, or come to
the hearing Feb. 9th. 6 p.rn.. Ci
ty Hall.

Professor Norman Metzler’s
letter “Dialogue,” (ODE , Jan.
28) relative to the recent panel
discussion, “Jesus in Islam and
Christianity.” suggests that the
addition of a representative of
the Jewish religion to the
Muslim-Christian dialogue
would be desirable. Better
would be the addition of both a
representative of the Jewish
religion and a representative of
atheist conviction.
As Metzler’s letter suggests,
there is a powerful movement

among theist religious leaders
to "circle their wagons" in the
face of what they see as an in
creasing onslaught of atheism.
It’s their common "fat" that’s
in the fire. That also explains
Roman Catholic Pope Karol Wo
jtyla’s recent conclave of sundry
religious leaders in Assisi. Italy.
The discussion between
Metzler and Professor Jamal
Badawi; representing the
Muslim view, was very fascina
tion. Since Muslims do not
claim divinity for Mohamet,
while Christian’s claim divinity
for Jesus Christ, it was in
teresting to note the advantage
that Badawi wielded in
his many telling Biblical
references, that Metzler,
burdened with extra theist bag
gage, valiantly but unconvinc
ingly defended.
Unfortunately, it was not
mentioned that many eminent
scholars question the very ex
istence of a real "Jesus Christ,"
which Muslims, being politic,
accepted in their efforts at em
pire as "prophet Jesus” and the
question of "God’s existence.”
Since the University is a state
funded secular institution
w i t h an e d u c a t i ona 1
mission — not proselytization
— it is vital that secular views
that challenge the claims of
t h e i s t religions also be
represented in such discus
sions. and let the merit of
Reason prevail!
