Classified
I am concerned that the
University Senate is knuckling
under to the pressure to build
the Riverfront Research Park.
On March 11 they approved
classified research, as long as it
is not for weapons.
David Thaler asked to have
"weapons" defined before the
motion; Olum responded. "The
problem is on the other side. If
they can't tell us. they can’t do
it.”
This is excessively vague. If
we allow the people who want
to build killing machines to
define killing machines they
will of course tell us it is
something other than what
they’re doing.
Without a solid definition of
our own we will have no way to
refuse them. Once they’re here
it will be next to impossible to
control the research escalation:
The precedent will have been
set and it is, after all.
"classified” research and not
something we can let just
everybody know about.
Eugene is my home. I love it. 1
want to see it prosper. Not,
however, this way.
The Nuremberg Trials
established our responsibility to
humanity to control our govern
ment. Our government, like the
Nazis, is indiscriminately kill
ing people.
This classified research is
about making this murder a
more efficient process, exactly
the Nazi concern at Dachau and
Treblinks. The only difference
is that the Nazis grouped their
victims together to make it
easier to dispose of the
evidence.
Our government won’t make
that mistake; they leave them to
rot in the fields and in their
homes and hide the evidence by
pretending it just never
happened.

Cheers
As avid fans of the women’s
basketball team, we are ecstatic
that the success of the [.ady
Ducks is finally opening the
eyes of the University student
body and the Eugene
community.
Not to detract from the suc
cess of the men's team, but the
women deserve more than a last
ditch effort by the school’s
cheerleading squad.
Speaking for ourselves and
many of the fans at Wednes
day’s opening round NCAA vic
tory over Eastern Washington,
we feel the cheerleader’s
apathetic appearance was a
waste of time.
The Ducks dominated the
game with great plays but the
only hurrahs they got were from
the crowd. Only during time

outs did we even notice the
cheerleaders since they hiber
nated in the corner all night.
The women’s fans have sup
ported the team the entire
season without the
cheerleaders, and their ap
pearance only showed an
"oh,...by the way..." at
titude. Hardly a motivator for
the fans.
This is not to say the
cheerleaders have nothing to of
fer at a game, but we want either
equal time and enthusiasm or
none at all. If it's only going to
be a fair weather visit gauged on
whether or not the women are
succeeding, don't do us any
favors.
If you want to cheer for a great
women’s team, just show up in
your Levi's, grab a spot in the
stands, and yell with us because
you’re a fan, not a cheerleader.
