Letters Not cultured I.ast week the International students at this University, numbering over 1,300. went out of their way to share their cultural heritage with the rest of the community: A week of cultural festivities and pageant ry capped off by the Interna tiona! Night This sold-out event was comprised of four hours of educational and enter taining cultural shows, as well as exquisite foods from differ ent parts of the globe In Monday's issue of the Km erald (ODE. April 10). 1 was ap palled to discover the dismal job the Emerald did in covering this major event: two lines of caption that in no way depicted the importance or grandeur of the event. The Emerald, to which stu dents purchase a subscription, should be the main media by which people or groups com municate. The whole idea be hind International Night was pivoted around conveying in formation about different cul tures and diverse experiences to the University community. The Emerald not only failed to cover this event, but it added insult to injury by attempting to pacify the international com munity by publishing a farce of a photograph. The United States of America is the most international coun try in the world and has gone out of its way to extend a hand of friendship to many foreign countries. 1 have been at this University for four years and have always found the Eugene community most conducive in integrating international stu dents. Unfortunately, the Emer ald has neglected to extend this courtesy to our campus, under mining one of the very princi ples that built the United States of America. Sanjayan Muttulingam Amir Ghorashi Eaiyaaz (haveri No wanna-bes 1 wholeheartedly support the candidacy of Tim Hughes and Maureen kirk for ASUO presi dent vice president for three specific reasons: those listed on their campaign literature In the area of experience they are far above the leaders over their opponents. We need the background Hughes has in state and federal lobbying for more financial aid and less tuition increases; we need kirk's back ground in coalition building through OSF1RG to build a strong and unified student body and further student em powerment. In the area of activism. Hughes and kirk an? virtually unchallenged by their oppo nents. Hughes is even now seeking direct action against hate-based crimes through a re ward fund for any information and or conviction of a hate crime perpetrator, kirk has years of experience in activism and plans to fie directly in volved in the women's right to choice movement on campus. Their opponents show a re markable lack of sensitivity on this issue, labeling activists in student government as "special interests" and showing a gen eral lack of knowledge of major issues affecting students direct ly — such as AIDS, financial Mmitnn I k-• i I • - li'mnnilfl and 1.11- tax waivers. Finally, in the area of com mitment. Hughes and Kirk are particularly dominant. ev idenced by their respective in volvement in student govern ment for more than three vears. the fact that they are the only candidate-duo with a woman on the ticket and by their com mitment to a safer campus for all. Don't he fooled by a cheap imitation of an "SPA wanna be." Vote Tim Hughes Mau reen kirk Scott Douglas Shoup Incidental Fee Committee member Overlooked 1 would like to voice the "other side" of the Pruitt stable controversy that Associate Kdi tor Michael Drummond unfor tunately overlooked. Michael Ellis of the Physical Education Department said Pruitt manages her horses like a "Westerner." As a Westerner. 1 find it insulting to be compared to Pruitt (as would most West erners). I have been in many professional Western stables and 1 have never seen such un kempt conditions or thin horses. I was not expecting a "white glove tour." but 1 was expect ing better conditions than what I saw that day. Manure on the floor is okay, but unbedded, manure-covered stalls are not. 1 do not disapprove of keeping horses outside as long as they have some shelter, which these horses appear to have Howev er. one chief qualification of keeping horses outdoors is that they be fed enough to keep warm. The associate editor himself saiii that some of the horses look thin, but went on to say that they looked "healthy, if not happy.” Obviously these animals are not getting enough calories to keep warm and, in inf norse worm, imn does noi equate with healthy A’' to hap py. i would not waul to be out’ of Pruitt’s horses. Vt s them are many different opinions on keeping horses, hut there are also guidelines, and Ms I’ruitt does not appear to be following them.
