Chewing tobacco worse than sntoki
Bv CoUN BPNSON
Accordmg 10 the Wall Street
Journal, smokeless tobacco is used
by as much as six percent of Ole
population and 1s the only growing
sector of Lhc to~ industry.
It 1s especially prevalent m
Oregon where JUnior high swdcnts
use "molSt snuff' al 8 hagher rate
than c1gareues. Snuff is dangerous
and as generally regarded to cnusc
cancer. Even lhe wammg label on

The next day, a couple of my

maucr of few hours I got a great
deal of support and sympathy from
my fellow swdcnts as well as !lOme
professors. The word geL~ around

was cenainJy no exception. One of
my professors made a public an

others wanted me lO go t.alk to the
owner of thestauon, and to have the

heard was "NO."
You m1ght a<>k why? Wtll, the
answer 1s the whole pomt of this

My fncnds, we should look at
the ISSue more objecuvely The gas
attendant was probably an ordinary,
perhaps illiterate and ce.rtainly a
nwve person. But thas es as guilty as
he can be. He has been subject of antcosepropagandn for the past ~v

Suppose that we boycoued the gas

would we accomplish bydomg that?

we would have not done anythmg

A~ long as violence is noc in·

that Opetation Desert Stonn wtll have. After
hearing the recent Sa ate of the Union address,
it i.s almost easy to think that OW' domestic
si1D8tioo is any bcuer than the sinaaa ion in the
Middle East.. ln actuality ,the war is acting as
a cover for the problems that face this coun
uy, such as t.be Savings &Loan Bailout and

and fiscal turmotl, Congtess approved a
p3Ckage of tax UlCteaSeS and spc.nding cui.S
that would reduce the deficit by S492 million
dollars over a five-year period. They were
taking care of the deficil problem. Although
lhcte was much speculation as to whether lhc
deficit would be reduced considctably. it
really is no longer an issue with the cost of l.hc
war piling up day after day, we are surely not
on our way to fiscal responsibility. but yet
have to pay higher tnes. In all bonesry, the

stauon.
The next day, a couple of my
fnends already knew the story. In a
maucr of few hours I got a great
deal of support and sympathy from
my fellow swdcnts as well as !lOme
professors. The word geL~ around
fast on this campus and thtS mcadent
was cenainJy no exception. One of
my professors made a public an
nounccmc.nt in the class about what
had happened, and the cham rcac
Lion went on and on. T was over
whelmed by what could only be
described as honest support from
the community. People kept askmg
me which gas station at was so they
could boycou tL In most ca~ 1
dechned from answering Some
others wanted me lO go t.alk to the
owner of thestauon, and to have the
guy fared. Agaan the answer they
heard was "NO."
You m1ght a<>k why? Wtll, the
answer 1s the whole pomt of this
leuer.
My fncnds, we should look at
the ISSue more objecuvely The gas
attendant was probably an ordinary,
perhaps illiterate and ce.rtainly a
nwve person. But thas es as guilty as
he can be. He has been subject of antcosepropagandn for the past ~v
erJI months {af not past several
years) It is alo;o very po\Seble that
one of his loved ones is servmg en

Suppose that we boycoued the gas
stauon and had the guy fired. What
would we accomplish bydomg that?
Nothmg, I belteve. Ftrst of all, the owner, or whoever hired the guy, i41

employer would screen the mor<lls

we would have not done anythmg
but fuel the fire of his hatred to

really wnntto muke him more hos

A~ long as violence is noc in·

uon with as much patience as pos
sible. A mtscalculnted overreactio n

hearing the recent Sa ate of the Union address,
it i.s almost easy to think that OW' domestic

a cover for the problems that face this coun

deficit would be reduced considctably. it
really is no longer an issue with the cost of l.hc

Reflections began when CatroU lived
on a farm in Canby. Oregon. Hct neighbor
had n garage band, in which Kendrick
would play every now and then. They met
on a Tuesday. and found tha1 each was a
perfect compliment for the other. 1'hot
weekend, they had founed a band.
"I have so much respect for him, l.hal
that's whal kept us together. We've had
ups and downs, but we talk it out and a nee
communicate with each other. We solve
our problems before they get out of hand.
Someumcs we nitpick each other, and both

"There's almost like there's something
