VOTING FOR BAYH

To the Editors of the Crimson:

Robert Gordon would have us believe that a vote for Birch Bayh is a vote for the poor and oppressed of Brazil and America. Such could not be further from the truth. Birch Bayh is just another politician who caters to a special interest group; in Bayh's case the special interest is organized labor. It is stretching incredulity to say that this group has the interests of the poor and oppressed at heart. By exerting their monopoly power, unions have been a major factor in promoting both inflation and unemployment, neither of which are in the interest of the poor. Those who really are concerned for the poor would do better to look elsewhere. Raymond Yee, HDS
