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.

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

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.

Move on
As a senior graduating in

years of ASI'C) polities Until
now, the affairs of the student

From what I understand.
ASUO pot it it s are like a merry
go-round on which riders pis!
switch horses but never get off.
As a student who pays nearly
$2-40 yearly in incidental fees. I
want executives who represent
the needs of all student and are
not political junkies who won’t
get off the merry go-round
Their total of more than 17
years experience in politics and
student affairs, their all-inclu

dents convinced me to vote
Kaniewski McRae for ASUO

I am graduating and moving
on I trust my fellow students
will see it is time for the ASUO
to do the same move on.
Vote for Kaniewski Mi Rae on
