Safer-ride
The SPA affiliated ad
ministrations during '85/’86
and this '86/'87 year created,
secured, and made Saferide a
success.
One thousand and seventy six
women rode the van winter
term, bringing the total to 1,406
riders this year. There has been
more than 10 5 w o m e n
volunteer drivers. The program
has been self-sufficient with
over $2,000 in donations and
advertising.
Saferide is a rape-prevention
shuttle van service for women,
driven by women. Maximum
safety precautions are the first
priority of Saferide. No. not all
men are rapists, but it is im
possible to screen a potential
rapist.
Rape is a reality for women.
Kvery woman when she walks
out at night knows she is
vulnerable to potential assault.
One out of three women will be
raped in their lifetime. If a man
rode on tin; van, got off at tin;
same stop as a woman, Saferide
would be leaving that woman
vulnerable to attack.
If a man drove the van, there
is potential of abusing the;
power and authority that the
driver has. If one harassment
occurred, it would directly
undermine the goal and priority
of Saferide. Many women who
drive and ride Saferide would
never ride Saferide again if men
were able to drive or ride.
In talking with the
Brooks/Gaffney candidates I
believe they would have men on
the van as drivers and/or riders.

Reflections
I awoke Friday morning with
the sail realization that I would
not In* ASUO President next
year. I ran and lost
It has taken me a couple of
days to put it all in perspective,
and I have come to realize that
the campaign was two of the
most enjoyable, educational
weeks of my college career.
I would like to commend the
following groups and people for
their honesty and fairness
throughout the campaign; The
Oregon Commentator. The
Oregon Daily Emerald, kasev
Brooks, Karen Oaffney. Sarah
Lachkar, Jodie Mooney. Steve
Nelson, the MHAA. and the
Minority Caucus. All of the
above have earned my respect
and praise.
I would like to suggest im
provements to the following
groups; to the Creek Endorse
ment Committee — look up the
meaning of the word altruism;
to Phil Levinson and Robert Ball
who spent $10 per vote — if you
would have given me $5 I
would have voted for you; to the
SPA — sometimes you have to
sacrifice principle for electabili
tv. maybe next year.
The only losers were the peo
ple who didn't participate. I
would encourage? all University
students to get out and vote this
week. Best wishes to the
win ners.
