TO THE EDITOR FLOYD MEETS RUSH Holiday EW’s After the spectacle of the first presidential debate, I tuned in Rush Limbaugh the follow- ing day to see what the “official” spin would be on one of the most one-sided debates in U.S. history. Rush was his usual fatuous, arrogant self, of course, but what was extremely disturbing about the show had nothing to do with Limbaugh. There, at the 11:44 am commercial break was an advertisement for Sen. Floyd Prozanski. I really haven’t known quite what to do with this. Our supposedly “progressive” Eugene senator advertising on the radio show of the sworn enemy of all progressive ideas seems astonishing. Worse, cynically handing over the hard-earned contributions of his sup- porters to literally help enrich this craven dem- agogue bespeaks an astonishing lapse of judg- ment that I cannot reconcile, try though I have. If, on the one hand, Prozanski intentional- ly advertises on Rush Limbaugh, it bespeaks a horrific political cynicism. On the other hand, if he’s not aware that he’s doing it, I have grave questions as to the senator’s pru- dent management of his own resources. I don’t think anyone handed Floyd money expecting it to go to Rush Limbaugh. Having spearheaded an effort to boycott hate radio advertisers, I now find progres- sives sponsoring hate radio. So, I have a dilemma: I do not shop at or patronize any business that advertises on Rush. Mainly because I don’t care to support his brand of McCarthyism (Joe) with my hard-earned cash. Now I wonder what I’m supposed to do with my vote. Hart Williams Eugene SEX IN THE CITY While we at Planned Parenthood appreci- ate EW’s endorsement of our services, Happenings “Being There & Being Safe” (Back to Campus, 10/7), we must take this opportuni- ty to share some education about “sex in your new city.” Planned Parenthood respects each indi- vidual’s right to make decisions about sexu- ality and relationships. However, the tone of the recent article implied objectification of sex and a lack of deference for mutually respectful relationships. Our focus is on helping people make lifelong responsible choices. We believe that you have the right to information and services to protect yourself, that you must respect yourself and your part- ner, and you have a responsibility to act in a manner that is consistent with your values and beliefs. In light of this, we are here for everyone. We are here as a reliable source to turn to in confidence — with confidence. We strive to provide access to quality, affordable heath care as well as comprehensive education on issues relating to sexual health. As a reminder to students at the UO, you also have access to reproductive health care serv- ices at your own student health center. Regardless of where you choose to access services, do so to protect yourself and your partner. This will make for much better “youthful memories” to keep you sane in your future, protecting you from unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infec- tions.
