.Letters Thoughtful ('. M Toomi v s article (l)DK. May 21 suggests that the t'Di versity administration and its Housing Department arc doing nothing in the fate of the cur rent housing crunch in Eugene This simply is not true Wo rec ognize the community has a housing problem, hut it is a rel atively new one We are active participants in a (htv-CounU I'niversitv hous ing coalition action group to as sist in bringing to bear the re sources of these agencies to meet these new needs. Our ex pectation is that through these efforts, new housing options will lie available for students. What many fail to under stand is that the l<)HH Universi ty student enrollment bulge is not the only factor involved Market place economics, pri vate sector housing interests, the burgeoning numbers of the newly homeless, and the limit ed purses of single parent and low-income families are all in volved in this complex prob lem.

Apparently the needed cala lyst is a party Several kegs of I>eer and we are so politicized that we will throw bottles and risk arrest in order to defend our right to party.
