Taking one last look
before party's over
W ith lHr benefit of two weeks' hindsight. let s Bike
another look .it flu* March it student police tear gas
showdown over parties
• We appreciated University President Myles Brand s
measured response to the 14lh Avenue disturhuni e
Brand was both linn and lair in his statement: lie ex
pressed Ins con. erns uIdle making it < leer that throw
ing bottles at cops is a stupid idea I urlhurmure. Brand
really demonstrated Ins appns iation ol student con
cerns in the mat ei linlike. sa\ his response to the
Ot toiler science; Building protest. Brand considered
student . omplaiiils and even went so tar as to criticize
some ot the polii e a. turns.
• Brand also met with student leaders in .. roundtable
luncheon to ask loi their ideas in ending the antago
nism Tins was an admirable step, hut one thing that is
becoming int leasinglv clear about the party confronta
tions is that they are mu. h more than a police-student
problem The situation is a community issue It's the
University's estimate that only one-third of those in
volved in the disturlianc.es are 1 hiiversily students 1 he
recent arrest lists bear this out: most of those taken in
have not been students .it the University
Fugene's cit\ council halted i raising on Willam
ette Street two years ago and I In* results «»r*' showing
up now Hon'd high sc hool students are c oming to the
campus area for their entertainment Solutions to the
student polic e' problem must involve input Irom the'
c itv counc il and from the local high sc hools
Along these lines, there's a need for some sort ol
mediation or citizens’ re view hoard to meet with the'
police ANUO President Andy Clark has expressed
sonic' interest in these steps, they're great ideas and lie:
should be encouraged to pursue them
• Most people don't blame Fugenes anti-cruising law
tor the new parly problems. They instead blame the
University s gieek system decision to go semi-dry and
there's Itc'C'ii a lot ol t.ilk about allow ing the fraternities
to pool house funds and host keg parties again Sm
prisingly. the* fraternities say they an* against this leu
reasons til image and liability.
The fraternities certainly have the right to manage
themselves, but it's our feeling that allowing kegs
wouldn’t be a bad idea f irst of all. it would mean a re
turn to larger private* parties at greek houses, where
high school students can't crash. Secondly, it would
mean fewer off-campus parties and the drunken driv
ing that arises from it. Thirdly the fraternities' current
policy of individual purchases means more hard alco
hol purchases, which may lead to higher rates of alco
holism within houses. Finally, and we re not being fa
cetious here, beer in plastic cups is safer than beer in
bottles you can't hurt somebody throwing a c up

dermatologist to persuade me

started this treatment, I noticed

I would like to suggest that
(aigswell familiarize himsell
with the difference between di
rei t < it.ition and paraphrase so
that ill the future he i an avoid
plat mg graimnatii alls and or
factuallv ini orrei t paraphrased
statements in quotations
M\ font erns about the

roccos questionable level of
training: however, that is set
oildarv to the belief lh.it ev
ploiting nun-human animals is
no less oppressive than exploit
ing Inimans, and that a healths

such forms of oppression I do
