I'm tired of someone’s sexual
preferences being included In
studies and discussion of cul
ture and race. I'm not going to
get Into the question of whether
homosexuality is an acceptable
lifestyle. But I do want to say
that I don't think homosexuali
ty Is a "culture" anymore than
cigarette smokers or
bookworms are cultures.
Homosexuality is using the
guise of being a culture in order
to gain legal and societal status
with valid ethnic cultures such
as African-Amoricans or Chica
nos. The homosexual commu
nity claims that the passage of
anti-homosexual laws, such as
20-08, will eventually preside
over ethnic minorities as well
This just isn't provable. The
homosexual community is
fighting for rights, freedom and
acceptance in society. But it
should not do so by leeching
onto’the ethnic-cultures band
wagon.

Especially fair
It’s funny how Springfield Is
constantly ignored by The Kirg
ister-Guard and the Eugene
public in general until now.
But since the (X1A measure has
passed everyone makes it their
business to be involved in
Springfield Peoplo aro given
the right to vote und if
Eugenians don’t like the out
coinn of Springfield's primary,
then it's really too bad since It
was the choice of the citizens of
Springfield
It seems that the measure has
boon blown entirely out of pro
portion Every single citizen is
guaranteed Constitutional
rights regardless of their per
sonal life If a homosexual is
fired or denied rights in other
circumstances there is already
recourse available, therefore
they need no special rights.
Measure 20-08 only prohibits
special rights, so why does ev
eryone who Is homosexual
think thoy will be denied po
lice protection or fired from
their job?
If we worn to adopt special
rights for homosexuals, then a
whole now series of laws re
garding people who arc a little
different from the crowd would
also have to be adopted, right?
Wouldn't that be the fair thing?
The United Stules is a boullla
halsso for everyone and whal
people do in thoir own life is
nobody olse's business ... that is
if they could keep it that way

Get real
Lowering the cost of educa
tion here at the University was
a major issue In student elec
tions this year Fortunately,
most student voters recognized
that cutting incidental fees was
not the solution for fighting ris
ing tuition prohlnm.
Now students have the op
portunity to do something reel
to lower their cost of education
VOTE' If Gov. Barbara Roberts
erts holds a special session on
tax reform this summer, this
will be our big opportunity to
counter the effects of Measure
5 A mail-in ballot will be sent
out to the lust uddross at which
each voter is registered, to lie
returned by Sept 15. So if you
haven't registered under you
summer address, you won't re
ceive the ballot and you won't
gel to vote.
Registration cards are avail
able in the ASUO office. Suite
4. EMU. Absentee-voter cards
are available for those students
who will live out of stule for
the summer
So take a minute to register at
your summer address, and
when you get the ballot In tile
mull, fill it out and send it in
This Is your chance to directly
impact the cost of your educa
tion
