Five years could
be worth the wait
Hope no one's in a rush. After long deliberation,
the decision of whether ROTC. stav s on campus nor,!
see the light of day for another five years
The University Senate recently passed the motion,
stating i! would wait to see if the f)ef> use Department
changes its anti-homosexual police before attempting
to move KO HI off i unipus
The endeavor to remove R()T( stems from its'reia*
tion to the itnlitarv. which'doesn t allowhomosexuals
or lesbians to serve in its i.mks Student Sen iinan
llwojt set forth ,i motion to get rid of the University's
ROTC p'rogfain in answer to this policv
Tile plot thi(ke'ns with the usual red C.pe because
tlie Oregon State Hoard of Higher {-.duration ruled that
DOH polii v is in''compliance, state universities must

This isn't a bad idea
Sim i- I It )l) pot n \ is at the
i ore of the controversy,
that is where we should
begin to address tin- issue
Yes, it is corn I : V able
how a I niver-atv booting
an ROTt. program would
bring attention to. and
But if the group
wishing to end
the discrim
inatory policy
wants to expend
the energy to
remedy the
situation,
wouldn’t it be
better to go to
the heart of the
matter?

Another thing to consider is exactly who is dis
criminating bs frying to remove the program from the
I Diversity In try ing to encourage diversity at the Uni
versity via anti-discriminatory legislation, the move
ment's sponsors are now practicing just what they're
preaching against Discrimination
What about the people who vs ant KOTO on cam
pus' I hey have every right to have this program avail
able to them Those wanting to kill the program must
walk their talk and tolerate diversity true diversity,
which inevitably includes groups they don’t agree
with.
l ive years That's a longtime Hut if it's used wise
iv. it could be all the time we need to finally address
tins issue m the best possible vsas
