Abandon Pride

"It is evident that these frustrated
groups won't wait fifteen years.
Threats of violence hang over us
even now.

"Will reconciliation between
these factions come from deciding
what should be changed? No, it is a
matter of how that change shall be
effected. We must view all problems
objectively, abandoning all pride,
pretence, and selfish interests. The
right answers will inevitably emerge."

His statement concludes by
saying "The good and righteous are
inherent in man. We must seek the
good in ourselves and others. Let us
join together in the search for
truth, and we will then realize that
what is in the interest of our fellow
man must inevitably be in our own
interest."

Mr. Freinberg was rate over the
newspaper coverage he has received
in the campaign. "My statement
was not published," he said. Then I
found out darts were published on
the fourth page, also giving the
impression that I was espousing the
opposite ideology that I wanted to
convey to the electorate."

When are we going to adhere to
Mr. Jefferson's statement that here
we are not afraid to follow the
truth without injustice, slander and
personal innuendo? This is the only
widely distributed student newspaper.
This is where the vast
majority of students get their
information from. We cannot put
with nonobjective and biased reporting
any longer."

Mr. Freinberg gained public
attention in his campaign when his
posters' appeared around the University
showing him posed for
several photographs in a nearly
nude condition.
