Deceptive ad
As advertisements for their
Palestinian Solidarity Day. the
Muslim Student Union distrib
uted and slue k up on campus
some fliers The fliers depicted
a ( rving mother < hitching her
son as a soldier approaches and
threatens them On the soldiers
helmet is written "burn to
kill " The picture is a powerful
representation of Israeli mili
tarv oppression.
When I attended one of the
events of Palestinian Solidarity
Day there was a huge poster of
the same woman clutching her
child. But there was something
missing: the ‘'f»orn to kill" sol
dier The picture that the MSU
distributed on their fliers is a
deception — a misleading fab
rication Someone over-im
posed the soldier onto the pic
ture of the mother and child.
Israeli soldiers have and do
violate civil rights They must
he stopped. But deception is
not the wav to gain support for
a cause
Despite the fait that a poster
at Palestinian Solidarity Day re
ferred to lews as "venomous
snakes" (now that's pruduc
live) and aside from the fat t
that the poster advertising Pal
estinian Solidarity Day was a
gross illusion. I still rally foi
the Palestinian cause I just
don't understand why the MSI'
neetled to resort to do* option.

Don't buy it
On Nov. 19. I opened the
Kmrruld to find two articles re
garding the recent ballot Meas
ure (i on packaging and recycl
ing The first was a front page
story anti the second was a let
ter to the editor. Both articles
hlamed the failure of the meas
ures to pass on the money
spent by the opposition and the
brainwashibility of the Oregon
public. Well. 1 don’t buy that.
If we are going to lie success
ful in passing environmental is
sues in this state, or on any
front for that matter, blaming
our failure on the other guys
isn’t going to work. The money
spent by the opposition. I’m
sure, had a substantial effect on
the public awareness of the
weakness in Measure 6 but.
the root of the problem is that it
was a poorly written
Kvon our governor-to-be.
who supported the measure,
said in public . that it was poor
hut. could probably be fixed by
the legislature Wh.it kind of
confidence is that7 If vve are go
ing to succeed in passing badly
needed environmental legisla
tion. wo had better get off our
holier-than-thou podium, stop
trying to blame the other guvs
and get to work on < leaning up
our approach so that our side ol
the issues will be more con
vincing.

You don't like the CIA so you
gleefully report how a group of
intolerant protesters forced the
recruiters off campus N et. vou

It is certainly OK to present
your views. But. in this land ol

women at a local tavern were
informed of a policy whereby

women called the police. They
waited for 45 minutes for the
police to arrive ami support

Correction
Wednesday's article on the
pass no-pass option stated that
a 2 00 gratle point average was
insufficient for graduation or
good-standing status. The nrti
cle should have read less than
2.00 on both counts.
Also. Wednesday's article on
KKMA should have stated that
applications will lie accepted
for several management posi
tions. not fora station manager
