tailing the debacle of Measure S Brand urges letter re
t ipients to write tbe governor and their state legisla
tors. who should be providing the leadership to get Or
egon out of this fiscal mess

Yes. getting students, alumni and faculty on sour side
is .1 good step, but more needs to be done (lolleettvelv.
