U.S. military officer praises Iraq War7s accomplishments Elan Carr spoke to students about Iraq's emerging democratic government BY BRITTNI MCCLENAHAN NEWS REPORTER In a rare display of support on cam pus for the Iraq War, students and members of the community gathered in 180 PLC Monday night to listen to attorney, military officer, community leader, and Middle East expert and lin guist Elan Carr. Covering topics rang ing from the war on terrorism to the fu ture of the Middle East, Carr spoke from his own experiences in Iraq as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve and Judge Advocate General’s Corps. The discussion, sponsored by the Oregon Hillel, Alpha Epsilon Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi, gave stu dents and the community an oppor tunity to hear a viewpoint seldom expressed on campus. “I believe that this issue is at the center of public policy discourse,” Can said. “It’s important for people to hear about these issues.” Inspired by Iraqis’ courage and their dedication to making a successful democratic nation, Carr said he is com mitted to the efforts in Iraq. He cited January’s elections as a great step forward for the Iraqi people. “They went to the polls, some lit erally crawling, and had a higher voter turnout than the U.S.,” Carr said. “We did a great thing.

There are national security interests.” "Every life lost is a devastating loss,” Carr said. He added that “all of us are in danger if we don’t win the war on terrorism.” In the question-and-answer session that followed, students asked ques tions ranging from the economic im pacts of war to the media’s representa tion of the war in Iraq and other humanitarian efforts worldwide. Carr said the cause tjoops are fighting for in Iraq is a worthy one. Sophomore Jonah Fruchter, a politi cal science major, said from a conser vative standpoint the speech was “very politicized” and a “half truth.” “I’m upset by the fact that he’s telling the students a lot of propa ganda,” Fruchter said. “He spun a lot of his answers to cite 9-11 and the threat of nuclear weapons when Iraq has none.” Daniel Rosove, president of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said the fraternity brought Carr to campus was to provide IRAQ, page 7 ALLERGY SEAS Helpful hints to reduce "hay fever" symptoms • Exercise early on uuindy and dry days • Limit outdoor actiuity on ujindy and dry days • fluoid rubbing your eyes • Keep uuindoins closed at night • Shower and shampoo hair before bed • UJash bed linens often • Use pollen mask • Keep your pet off your bed • If using allergy meds. take them early • Huoid lying in the grass • lllear sun glasses to help keep pollen out of your eyes Ouer the Counter products from the Uniuersity Health Center Pharmacy: Product Octifed Benadryl 25 mg caps (generic) Chtor-Trimeton 4 mg tab (generic) Size Price 100 42.00 100 43.00 24 42.00 Product Size Price Chlor-Trimeton 4 mg tab (generic) 100 43.00 Claritin 10 mg (generic) 30 43.50 filauert-D 12 hr. 12 40.00 Sudafed 30 mg (generic) 24 42.00 O UNIVERSITY OF OREGON 346-2770 for medical appts. 356-4454 for pharmacy http://healthcenter.uoregon.edu
