OSU's Center for Women Studies is also the
center of attention in an investigation of personnel matters underway in the Oregon Employment Division. The investigation was
sparked by a controversial news article which
appeared in the Corvallis Gazette-Times.
Last March, Diana Kutsky of the G-T wrote
an article (March 16) about Cathy Smgkofer,
an employee of the Center for Women Studies.
The article stated that Singkofer worked on a
political campaign while employed through
a

of
her program supervisor,
Jeanne Dost, director of the womens center.
A second article which appeared in the
March 21 G-T noted that state investigators
from Salem were investigating alleged
"misconduct" at the Center for Women
Studies.
In short, SirLgkofer cLaims to have done
political work for State Rep. Mae Yth, DAlbany, on vacation time. Meanwhile, three
former center employees accused Singkofer of
working on Yih's publicity materials at the
center.
Singkofer said she did all Yths work while
on vacation, but admittedly brought some work
into the center on a few occasions.
Kutsky's argument is as follows: CETA
pays for the employees at the center, rncluding
Singkofer's campaign work for Yth. Kutsky
pointed out that campagn work was not listed
in the CETA job description which created the
three CETA positions in question.
"The entire center is under a CETA contract with a required job description written
out on that contract expLaining the center's
year-long projects," explained Singkofer.
"My work with Mae (Yth) wasn't included in
the (JETA contract because all I needed to do

I did," she added.
Scott McGowan, investigator from the State
of Oregon Employement Division says his
office is presently conducting an investigation
of the center, which he said should be done in a
week or two.
According to Slngkofer, Kutsky wrote the
article indicating Singker to be at fault by
using "mtly misquotes." Singkofer said the
Employment Division investigation is not
concerned with her political work with Mae
Yih; rather, it is an investigation of personnel
matters in general.
"A couple of persons filed formal cornplaints about the center to the State of Oregon
Employment Division in Salem regarding
personal practices in the Women's Center last
month," explained Singkofer. "If a complaint
is filed to that division, they do a routine investigation by the official auditor," she added.
"Again, formal complaints were filed with
no request for a hearing, so these complaints
needed to be investigated by a routine audit,"
repeated Singkoler.
"I think the students at ()SU should know
exactly what happened and they should know
the truth. After the investigation is complete,

Fees chairman claims purchase
a 'poor use of incidental fees'
By DAVE RIGGS
Barometer Writer
Last spring the Students for the Advancement of Women (SAW) purchased books
with such titles as "New Lesbians," "Women
Who Love Women," and "Loving Women," it
was learned by the Daily Barometer Monday.
Some of the money used to purchase the
books by the campus organization came from
student fees. While that fact alone is not incriminating, the fact that the OSU student body
soundly rejected a proposal to fund the Gay
Pebple's Alliance here two years ago makes
gay book purchases "wouldn't run above 10
percent of the total."
"It's really a grey area," Larson said of the
whole issue. "It's debatable as to who's money
it is. It's outside of SAW's budget, yet within its
organization."
Asked if he thought it was a proper use of
student fees money, Larson responded, "Some
people may think it's very appropriate Some
will not. It's c matter of personal opinion. I
can't comment personally. The titles bothered
me, but as far as I knew they came under the
scope of SAW guidelines."
Larson did say that the purchases would

When ASOSU treasurer Rob Larson was
presented with the requisitions last year he
reluctantly signed them. "Technically, the
purchase of the books did come under the
definition of SAW's goals," said Lason. The

"Looking back now I think it was a mistake.
There is (an opinion) there that says if they've
earned some of the money there should be
some extra leeway. But I was fresh in the job
and really didn't know too much a5out it at the
time."
SAW had grssed $2,500 through the spon-
"conservative campus."
While Larson wouldn't make a personal
statement, Rick Brindley, student fees committee member, did have a specific opinion on
the situation. "No, I don't think it's a good use
of student fees," he said. "But every year these
kinds of things take place because the new
people don't know what's going on."
has her own thoughts
on the matter. "I think it's a good use of student
fees money," she said. "There's valid information there. It's not something people
should stick their heads in the sand about."
"Part
of our goal is to inf'rrn the student
body about changing sex roles in society," the
SAW officer continued. "I know many students
who were personally benefited by (the pur-

Editor readdresses
sensitive issues
Eating crow is a rather unpleasant task,
and an inherent risk that all opinion leaders
assume with their positions.
The many responses we have received
concerning two editorials: "On selling
education for lots of petro dollars," and "Gay
literature," are conclusive evidence that the
readers of the Daily Barometer deserve some
further explanation from their editor.
There have been demands for a retraction,
apology and even the resignation of the editor
for statements in the two editorials.
There will be no apology, retraction or
resignation for any opinion previously stated,
i.e. that certain foreign students should pay
for a larger share of their educations, and
expenditures from student fees could be more
closely scrutinized by the ASOSU.
We would have to be exceptionally crass,
however, to say that several common points of
rebuttal have not been valid..
A major criticism that should be addressed
is a lack of sensitivity to minorities.
It was not our intention to bring disfavor to
any person or group for ethnic backgrounds or
personal beliefs. A weakness of the 'ptro
dollars' comment was the general
stereotyping of foreign students as wealthy
invaders, even though many are welcomed
visitors from poverty-ridden countries of the
developing Third World.
As for "Gay literature," two inplicaUdns
need clarification. Two of four books listed in
the editorial have nothing to do with gay
lifestyle, though our, comment implied
otherwise. And, in the factual presentation of
thegay literature issue on page one we failed
to adequately distinguish between "misuse"
of student fees by the definition of student
leaders and that of Walter Reeder, MU
business manager, who stated that there was
nomisuseofstudentfees.
To everyone who suffered for these
reasons, we offer our deepest apologies.
To those who merely disagreed with our
stands on these controversial issues, we will
continue to welcome your rebuttals.
For the editor, the intense experiences
relating to the two editorials have provided
valuable insights into free speech, minority
relations, foreign relations, tuition, censure,
stereotyping, comriunication procedure, and
humility. We can only hope that you, the
readers, were able to gain some of these same
insights. ES

"...wecannot be a part
of what is happening..."
By LAURIE MASON

Yesterday morning Sneil Hall was decorated with a bedsheet-banner reading "Iranians Go Home."
In Eugene Aranan students gathered to protest the re
influx of letters to the campus paper, letters r"4Iar
yesterday's Fencing opinion o(the "Iranian Actions."
And in Iran, Ayatollah Rubollah Khomeini declared that the
US. is Iran's number one enemy. The American Embassy in
Tehran, Iran was seized by Iranian students Sunday in n attempt to get the United States to extradite the depedshak
The Iranian students atOSU are wondering where it will end.
"What is happening in Iran now is not reasonable, but neither
is it to blame us, the students who are here," said one Iranian,
who like the others Interviewed asked to not be identified.
He was referring to the U. S. Embassy take-over and subsequent action by the Iranian students and the government,
adding that politics is not the focus of the Iranian students in this
country. -
"We are here studying...we cannot be a part of what is
happening at home. We don't even know what the hell is going on
over there," he said helplessly.
Another Iranian student felt that the growing American
anger toward the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini is being
misdirected at the OSU Iranian students.
"Such resentment is normal, and we expect it in a way. But
what people aren't thinking oi is that we didn't have anything to
do with what has happened over there.
"The student who wrote the letter..he is saying 'we have
been friendly to them, and they have returned our friendship
with hostility. He doesn't realize that he is talking about being
friendly to one group and then being treated badly by another.
"We sludenta just aren't responsible for the embassy mess,"
he stressed.
He pointed out that the Iranian students who resented past
American government action in their country had taken out
their frustrations on an innocent group who happened to be
available.
"They made the same mistake a the embassy that students
are making here at OSU," he frowned.
While he feels it's unreasonable to blame the students for the
action of their country, he says it is almost as bad to assume
they have a current insight into the workings of the Khomeini
regime.
"I have been here for a few years, andfrlendsl have made In
that time American friends are starting to ask me what's
going on over there.
"I say 'I dontkrIów; what do you think is going on over
there...don'tjou watch network news like I do?' You know, I
haven't received money from home in four years. I work here
like any American student. Why do they look at me now as
Iranian, not as OSU student?" he said, sighing.
Echoing the feelings of other Iranian students at OSU, he
added that he feels abandoned by the Khomeini government.
"I think, and I know the skeptical faction of Iranian students
here agree with me, that the embassy thing is an attempt by
Khomeini to distract the people in our country from internal
problems.
"They (in the Khomeini regime) don't think about what
effect their actions will have on Iranians outside the country,
like students in foreign countries.
"Khomeini dosn't seem to have any international insight,"
he concluded.
In an Oct. 14 Oregonian article, Khomeini was quoted as
saying he dosn't favor study abroad for his people because the
experience would "poison their brains."
"Yes, he feels the cultural experience will poison us," the
studensaid, adding that nevertheless, he plans to return to Iran

Mathews worked at Stanford br three years, then
spent the next 13 raising three babies. When her youngest
child was five, in 18, she returned to the office and
worked another 13 years.
In 1970 Mathews' husband retired and they returned
to Oregon. She began working at OSU several years later
and decided to complete the degree

started back in
1938.
Since that time, Mathews has taken one class each
term to accumulate the hours needed for a degree in
general science.
"It's been a long haul because I had more than a term
to finish - (I had) four quarters," she said. "I thought I'd
do it all in one year - not one course at a time"
'The neat thing," she added with a broad grin, "is
that both the university and (science) department accepted the old credits."
