Organization
As organizers of the
Norwegian Constitution Day
celebrations May 17. we would
like to respond to John
Tapogna's letter (ODE, May 28).
When we planned the
celebration there was nothing
we rather wanted than to have
students from other countries to
come and celebrate and ex
perience our constitution day
with us.
We set the arrangement up as
a whole day packet that includ
ed a champagne brunch, a tradi
tional parade, barbeque in
Alton Baker Park with food and
beverages, and a party later that
night at Guido’s. The break
even price for this was about
$12.00, and the Norwegians
paid $15.00.
However, as we wanted as
many non-Norwegians us possi
ble to come and celebrate with
us, we set a lower price of $7.50
for non-Norwegian
participants.
We tried to get as many peo
ple to join us in our celebration
through articles and ads in the
Register-Guard and the Emerald
and various posters around
campus.
Never was there any intent
from our side to ' economically
segregate” or "culturally diver
sify” the campus. Nothing
could be farther away from the
goals we set for this celebration.
We would like to use this op
portunity to thank Sgt. Mason at
the Eugene Police l)ept, laine
(bounty Parks services and the
University School of Music for
helping us make the ar
rangements possible. And we
hope that we get the chance to
celebrate our constitution day
next year as it still means a great
deal to us.

Bad criticism
What is the problem with
some people? Why do so many
non-Greeks wish to criticize
Greeks and their activities?
In a letter by John Sheley
(ODE. June 3) he shows he is a
true bigot. Sheley says that
since Greeks are so willing to
give charity, they should be part
of AIDS research instead of
laboratory animals.
I am not a member of a frater
nity, nor do I plan to become
one. Hut 1 cannot see what
pushed Sheley to write such a
disturbing and sadistic letter.
If the Greek system wishes to
hold activities and give the pro
ceeds to charity, then that is
their business. I am sum this
money is put to good use by
these charities and is gladly
appreciated.
I wish Mr. Sheley. along with
all other bigots, would at least
give their reasoning for their
hatred If they have no real
reason then they should mind
their own business.

Playground fun
Once again I am writing about
a matter of incredible urgeore
that the student body seems to
be unaware of.
How often have us off
campus commuters found
ourselves forced to arrange a
meeting with a friend, teacher,
TA, GTK. SOS. AM. PM. MP or
other here on campus? Often is
the answer.
And where do we usually
decide to meet? The EMU is
where.
Now. I like the EMU. It’s an
adequate place. It's there, and it
serves it’s purpose But. hey.
let's face it. if we all use it. it's
going to get worn out.

Imagine how much it would
cost to fix a place like that
Also, it's usually crowded
(sometimes with high school
punks) and filled with noise.
Have no fear though. I have
once again brainstormed this
problem and come up with a
solution. A student playground.
I say that we build a large stu
dent playground (either behind
MacCourt or between Oregon
Hall and Science 11).
Right now the school has two
small playgrounds, but students
are not allowed to use them I
say that this student playground
be about the same area as the
Student Health Center and con
tain some serious swings and
slides.
I want a playground that we
could all write home about.
It would la) cheap to maintain
and give us something to do
when we are bored. We could
even have a yearly Olympics
type competition there. Think
about it.

Different BS
John She ley, your letter does
a great injustice to all Creeks
everywhere, but especially to
my fraternity. As president of
Meta Sigma. I can vouch for the
total benevolent conduct of all
our members.
We do none of the horrid
things you mentioned. No
charity fund-raisers are spon
sored by us, and we did not
filght at the “smoker” —
fighting weaponless is against
our creed.
Our legs are too hairy for Miss
Greek nominations. You can't
see wet T-shirts through our
leather jackets and anyone in
our frat caught riding a scooter
is expelled and/or shot.
So what do we do? Well, we
ride our Harleys up and down
the stairs, clean our Beret to*,
smoke opium, and generally
bum out in a peaceful, satan
fearing manner. You see. we at
BS are different from other
Greeks. You can't make
