Dr. Sol Gordon speaks to roughly 100 students and faculty about love, sex and masturbation Monday afternoon in the EMU.
Advice

person; 60 to 70 percent,” he said,
“but you don’t have to.” Finding
potential mates isn’t simply a mat
ter of sex, love or the stars being in
your favor, he said. It’s also more
than just biology working its magic.
So what is it?
“The best indication is friend
ship and a respect for each other,”
he said.
Gordon said many people’s prob
lems may be that they’re just not
looking in the right places for love
and are surprised when they don’t
find a perfect mate at the local bar, on
the Internet, or even in the bedroom.
He advised what he likes to call the
“Mitzvah” therapy. “Mitzvah” is the
Hebrew word for doing good.
“Meet out of interests, in commu
nity service, doing mitzvahs,” he said.
“Meet people who are also doing
good deeds and something useful.”
Furthermore, he said physical as
pects should not be the primary focus
in what determines hein;, in love.
“You could have great sex and no
relationship,” he said.
Gordon also spoke about the role
sex plays in a relationship and what
to do if one partner craves physical
attention more than the other.
“Sex is not the answer,” he said.
The commitment that accompanies
a solid relationship cannot be based
on sex, and if that is a point of con
flict, the individual wanting more
sex than available may have to take
matters into his or her own hands.
“I’ll tell you what to do — mas
turbate,” he said. “At least then
you’re having sex with somebody
who won’t reject you.”
He challenged the audience to
examine reality and not always
look for completion in another per
son, but rather to look within,
defining their own role in the rela
tionship, and finding their voice.
Several students said they valued
Gordon’s input and his advice.
“Love is important to every rela
tionship. I learned everyone’s (defi
nition of) love is different and no
one has a right to say it’s just infatu
ation,” student Rick Reed said.
Others who attended the seminar
are planning to apply the “friends
first” approach to current relation
ships.
“I learned not to marry for love
— friendship is more important,”
said Katie Mahaffey.

Survey

but “middle of the road.”
Frequent protests and student ac
tivism over the years have given the
University a reputation of campus
liberalism. One well-known campus
demonstration occurred in 1970,
when students protested the Univer
sity Senate’s decision to retain the
ROTC program on campus. About
400 protesters sat-in at Johnson Hall
and rallied against ROTC facilities on
campus by throwing fire crackers
and torches as well as apples with ra
zor blades through windows. The
police used tear gas and pepper
spray to disperse the crowd.
Large-scale campus demonstra
tions returned to the University in
spring 2000, when students camped
out for 10 days on Johnson Hall’s
lawn in an anti-sweatshop-labor
campaign urging the University to
join the Worker Rights Consortium.
Survival Center co-director
Randy Newnham said he does not
believe that campus protests define
student’s political ideologies as lib
eral. He said he also thinks the sur
vey inaccurately defines liberalism
and conservatism because they base
it solely on human rights and drugs.
“When they measure liberalism
based on these terms, it’s ludi
crous,” he said. “I think the defini
tion of liberalism and conservatism
is stereotypical and outdated.”
Newnham said he believes more
students on campus have been
demonstrating awareness and show
ing interest in becoming involved,
but he would define their political
beliefs as radical, not liberal.
“I would describe more students
as being radical because many of
the students that I work with are
anti-capitalism, pro-labor equality,
pro-liberation and think critically
about world events,” he said. “They
question the basic conformity that
only gives us two choices between
liberalism and conservatism.”
Campus Republicans treasurer
Jarrett White said he believes the
majority of students at the Univer
sity do hold liberal views.
“There is a bias against conser
vatives here at the University,” he
said. “If you look at the protests,
most are for liberal causes, and I
think that just by listening to the
majority of professors’ lectures,
you will hear liberal viewpoints.”
White attributes many students’
liberal tendencies at the Universi
ty to professors expressing their
political views in classes. Campus
Democrats secretary Lauren Manes
said she believes University stu
dents demonstrate more liberal at
titudes because political activism
on campus usually represents lib
eral views, and the majority of stu
dents vote for the Democratic Par
ty or the Green Party.
“I think that a lot of students at
the University do not become as
involved or as active in the Cam
pus Democrats because they do
feel as if their liberal views are
threatened,” she said.
However, Manes said she did
think liberalism has been growing
in popularity. She has been in
volved with the Campus Democ
rats for three years and said the
group is becoming more diverse
each year. This year, more women
and people of color have been in
terested in attending meetings and
getting involved, she said.

Veto
continued from page 1
Kitzhaber may line-item veto por
tions of up to 13 bills passed by the
Legislature, including HB 4028,
which allows for Sunday liquor sales.
No changes are planned for Ore
gon’s higher education budget, al
ready slated to lose 5.2 percent of
its funding with the Legislature’s
cut of $43.3 million.
This is the first time in Oregon
history that a governor has decided
to modify a Legislature’s budget
proposal without its subsequent ap
proval, but Kitzhaber said he was
ready and able to make his changes.
His actions may temporarily solve the
budget crisis, but Kitzhaber said he plans
to call the Legislature back in June after
an quarterly economic forecast is issued.
The governor had indicated he
would support any bills passed by
the Legislature as long as they did
not rely on one-time funding
sources. The Legislature’s second
budget attempt used almost $500
million in one-time funds to fill the
state’s $846 million budget hole.
“This budget is an embarrassment,
and it should be vetoed,” Kitzhaber
said. It “creates a huge fiscal cliff for
the 2003 to 2005 fiscal year.”
Kitzhaber said stopping legisla
tors from using tobacco settlement
money was the least he could do.
“The issue isn’t about taxes. It’s
about a sustainable budget,” he
said. “We have $500 million in
one-time revenue sources in this
budget because this Legislature
wasn’t responsible.”
On Saturday, the Legislature vot
ed on the budget by party lines, and
reaction to Kitzhaber’s veto state
ment ran the same partisan way.
State Sen. Tony Corcoran, D-Cot
tage Grove, praised the governor’s
stance on the budget issue.
“The governor is the only person
in the building with vision,” he said.
State Board of Higher Educa
tion Student Representative Tim
Young also lauded Kitzhaber’s an
nouncement.
- “I applaud the governor’s veto,”
Young said. “I don’t think the Band
Aid approach is appropriate for our
state or for higher education.”
