Where are
safety officers?
With the attempted
kidnapping on campus a
few weeks ago, attention
has been drawn to the Col­
lege’s Public Safety Office.
I
In calling the office,
trying to get hold of an of­
ficer, many times there is
no answer. There are times
that the office is vacated
for hours at a time. When
there is no answer, there
are two possible reactions.
A person can feel at ease
because, presumably, the
campus guards are roam­
ing around the College on
the lookout for anything
suspicious, so that action
can be taken immediately.
But this also means if

from the office, they are
left unaided.
The thing that should
be done if something like
this were to happen, would
be to contact the campus
information office to find
out where a Public Safety
Officer could be found.
There is a slight problem
with this. Although most of
the staff and faculty know
to do this, how many
students do?
So what would be the
problem with having calls

needed-calls immediately

save a lot of time and trou­

thanks to Mary Ann Pierson,

Mary Ann is a wizard of

Anthony Taylor, for his help in
arranging the display.
From our own experience,
it is clear that, in the communi­
ty as well as the College, there
is a need and an interest for
such endeavors. For the
Students, it serves as an oppor­
tunity to realize their work. We
encourage other students to
explore this possibility.

May 18, the Democrats, of the
Willamette Valley will be
responsible for selecting the
Democratic candidate for the
“new” fifth Congressional
District. That candidate will be
running against Denny Smith
in the fall.
All five contenders agree
that Mr. Smith is not doing his
job in representing Oregon.
They agree that Oregon is suf­
fering greatly because of
Reagan’s programs which Den­
ny Smith has supported. All
the candidates also agree that
Larry Gray has a better
understanding of the Federal
issues. Issues which include
high interest rates, unemploy­
ment, the timber industry,
small business, military spen­
ding and the arms race.
We cannot afford to send
anybody but the best back to
Washington to represent us.

challengers because he is Maruschka Silvia-Aberg
