LETTERS
He’s not
I don't know who Kred
Roellig is but his letter [ODE.
Nov. 8) is somewhat puzzling.
If Roellig is not a Greek, he
seems to have been frightened
into thinking they are a very
powerful and dangerous force
to be reckoned with. Either that
or he has constructed a clever
joke designed to elicit re
sponses like this.
If Roellig is a Greek, and seri
ous. about his letter, he's doing
wonders for the reputation of
the Greek system. His "no one
gets hurt" threat is straight out
of Bugs Bunny cartoons.
I’m sure everyone on campus
is shaking with fright, knowing
that territorial primitives like
the ones that harassed Hope
and her friends are just waiting
for another chance to spit to
bacco on students and beat up
on women to protect their sa
cred seats.
If Roellig is a member of the
Greek system, it’s no wonder
that a great many non-Greeks
tend to view the Greeks as a
bunch of idiots refusing to be
lieve that high school is over.
Way to make a stand.
Roellig.

Fans disgusting
As a member of the Oregon
Marching Band Color Guard. I
have been encouraged to be
come a unit of the band.
However. following the
UO/UCLA game at Autzen Sta
dium. I am compelled to write
this letter as an individual fe
male witness to events which
have infuriated and disgusted
me.
The band runs out of the tun
nels on to the field for the pre
game show.
On game day. due to lack of
security, there were so many
"fans" in the tunnels we could
hardly make it on to the field
on time.
The band was asked by the
athletic director to do a post
game show following the
UCLA game. Most people know
the goalposts were torn down,
but there was more jubilation
after the game.
1. and other members of the
color guard, were verbally and
physically harassed by these
"fans." More specifically. I
was fondled, yelled at anil
pushed around. People in tin
crowd were trampled.
Oregon football fans have no
regard whatsoever for their fel
low fans. I am amazed at the
rampant disrespect I saw on the
field after the game. Better se
curity is needed during football
games.
But the best security compa
ny in the world is not going to
change the attitudes that
brought the post-game celebra
tion to the abuse I witnessed I
was treated better by Husky
fans in Seattle than I was by
Duck fans at Autzen.
Now tell me again the rea
sons for banning the Dead?

It is regrettable the Universi
ty allowed Ingrid Newkirk. «:o
founder of PFTA, to speak on
campus.
She seems to echo Martin Lu
ther King Jr. when she stales:
"The bottom line is to try to
make a more respectful world
where you don't exploit an in
dividual because they are dif
ferent."
That sounds great except for
the fact an animal is not an "in
dividual": an animal is .in ani
mal.
When a slug can drive a car
or a i at design and build !>()
slory buildings then I might lie
inr.linett to believe you But
perhaps I expect too much from
a woman who also said, "Six
million people died in concen
tration camps, hut six million
broiler chickens will die this
year in slaughterhouses.”
I hope I'm forgiven if. when 1

History
Better band
How sad it is that the Stan
ford Marching Hand comes to
Eugene with the intent of gain
ing attention and that the local
media hands it to them on a sil
ver platter
This is not the first time this
notorious band has pulled such
a stunt. Why should anyone be
surprised that the band would
Im* as insensitive as to make fun
of one of the most emotional is
sues in the area?
And why is the media so
willing to give them the atten
tion they seek?
The University’s Marching
Hand has grown and improved
over the past eight years, first
under the direction of l)r Ste
phen Paul, and now under
Mr. Dave Booth It consistently
provides a high quality show
with an emphasis on music
performance (unlike the Stan
ford Band, which emphasizes
outrageousness).
Yet the most recent mentions
in the media of the University
Marching Band have to do with
"geeky uniforms" and the cost
of sending it with the football
team to tx>w! games.
As a journalism major. I often
find myself defending my fu
ture profession against claims
that it focuses on the negative
aspects of news
As a member of the Universi
ty Marching Band I now find
myself understanding the frus
tration felt by other members of
the community.
I only hope I can remember
ibis when I enter the journal
