LETTERS
Dead wrong
In regard to John Higgins'
letter "Deadly Cuts" [OOF.
Nov 12) While I don't net es
sarily agree with the (irateful
Dead being banned, there are
some facts you need to get
straight. The athletic depart
ment has a large impact on our
school and most other large
universities.
The University is in the Pa
cific- 10 Athletic Conference. It
is a conference full of presti
gious schools. If it were not for
our athletic department we
would have to drop out of the
Par.-10 and would be known on
the same level as schools like
Portland State and the Univer
sity of North Dakota.
Now. I am not knocking
those schools, but I don’t be
lieve those schools are known
as well academically, even
though they have their strong
points.
However, we are presently in
tln> same conference with teams
such as Stanford. Berkeley.
Washington. UCLA and USC
all excellent universities.
Now, about our football pro
gram Higgins stated. "Autzen
rarely fills to capacity while
our classrooms are overcrowd
ed to pay for football scholar
ships." The extra student en
rollment this year is due main
ly to the shortfall in last year's
enrollment, not to pay for foot
ball scholarships
The University’s foottmll pro
gram has a $2 million profit per
year, and the men's basketball
program has a $1 million prof
it Those sports pay for them
selves. plus they help support
non-revenue sports sin h as
women's basketball, volleyball,
golf. etc.
Ulus, this year we broke a
single season attendance re
cord. and in 1980 we averaged
40.000 people per game
He proud of our school, as
well as our football program
The University's athletic de
partment had nothing to do
with the banning

Cop out
I would like to si't tlu- record
straight in regard to the 1'nu‘r
aids headline "ASIIO closes in
one-day protest " 101)1' Nov
ir»)
Tins headline was niisle.nl
mg hi that it was assumed all
branches of the ASM) govern
ment shut down This was not
the case The Incidental lee
Committee is a distinctly sepa
rate branch from the Kxecutive
We did not, nor will we in the
future, engage in "visual state
ments” that harm the effective
operations of the student
groups we are empowered to
serve. Such a tactic is not in the
best interests of the student
body either
The shut down was a cop out
by the ASM) Kxecutive. The
Executive wanted people to
“reflect on the consequences of
what has happened and of what
all of us can do to head off the
impending crisis " This shows
just how perplexed the ASUO
Executive leadership really is.
Why weren't the co-presi
dents reflecting on the conse
quences and coming out with
immediate reaction(s)? Well,
probably because they chose to
shut the doors rather than open
them iiiul attempt In address
tin* problem in a construe live
.mil straight forward wax
Leadership is alMiUt addressing
issues and Inking a stand
So, what's it going to lie' Li
I her lead, follow or gel out of
the wav' Let's gel lint k to
where substance can rein over
imagery. Lei's gel down to
work and serve the .students
well And that ini hides keep
ing tht* doors of government
open to everyone

Don't miss it
Don't make the mistake of
missing the photography exhi
bition. "Contact: Photojournal
ism Since Vietnam." at the
University's Museum of Art
After viewing this work, per
haps you will become more
aware of the world crises and
less focused on your own per
sonal problems The exhibit
ends Dec. 2t>.

Boy. am I steamed! The sub
jec t. of course, is over the Uni
versity vending machines.
Sidestepping widely the whole
South Africa Pepsi Coke issue
I'm talking about cost
Cist year I decided that the
going price (t>5 cents) was way
too much for my favorite non
alcoholic beverage, so I
stopped buying from the ma
chines. But when the price ac
tually ini reased by a nickel last
week, it was too much.
The way 1 figure it. the vend
ing company has the entire stu
dent body in a virtual choke
hold. Several thousand si n
dents with no time or energy
are victims of the easy meal
and seek comfort from the big
red refrigerators With su< h a
situation. I would think that a
company could make a healthy
profit using a reasonable mark
up of 100 percent over the cost
they pay for the product But
what's the mark-up on a 70
cent can of soda? 250 percent?
(00 pen nut' More?
This is outrageous
