Doctor to speak Lecture on nukes slated In the event of a nuclear holocaust, thousands of people would die or suffer severe burns. Whether or not the medical facilities and personnel of the United States or any other country could deal with the countless casualties is an open question. John Burkhardt, a member of Physicians for Social Respon sibility, doesn't think so. His group is working to educate world leaders about the medical realities of nuclear war. Burkhardt will present a slide show tonight on his trips to Wa shington, D C., in September and December of last year to protest the Pentagon’s “war like mentality." The slide show will begin at 8 p.m. in the EMU Forum Room. A discussion will follow. "All I want to do is show peo Emerald graphic pie some of the things being done back there (at the Pen tagon),” Burkhardt says. "It's a very overwhelming place, to say the least.” Burkhardt participated in a year-long demonstration spon sored by the Jonah House, a peace community in Baltimore. Burkhardt, his wife, and an other Eugene couple distribut ed leaflets entitled "A Vision of Nuclear Hell” with samples of Mount St. Helens ash inside. "I don't claim to be a martyr," Burkhardt says. "I haven’t got ten to that point yet." Burkhardt began his activism only recently and then “by ac cident.” He married a woman who was arrested for protesting at the Trojan Nuclear Plant in Ranier. Burkhardt serves on a steer ing committee that is working for change through political fasting. The group, called the Nonviolent Tactics Develop ment Project, is spearheaded by local activist Charles Grey. "I’d never been political in my life," Burkhardt says. “I’ve gone through some changes since then." Classes sooth legal pains Legal advice doesn't have to be costly, time-consuming or painful. The People's Law School, beginning its ninth year, offers legal lessons in a “very loose, informal, congenial atmos phere,” says Joe Wajsman, who coordinates the classes for the University law school. Wajsman emphasizes the school will not discuss specific cases. The second- and third year law students who run the sessions are restricted from giving legal advice by the American Bar Association. “We are not a referral ser vice," Wajsman cautions. However, problems stated in a "general" way usually can be answered. The school is mainly informa tional and emphasizes a basic understanding of legal rights and remedies in each of the categories offered. Wajsmann likens obtaining some awareness of the law to knowing something about cars — a little knowledge allows students to be more prudent about their actions. All sessions are open to the community although they are designed for students, Wajsman says. Discussion topics are chosen from student requests, and all classes are designed to deal with relevant Oregon law, he says. “It behooves the audience to be creative — we offer classes on anything we can.” Topics for the weekly ses sions, which begin tonight and run through Mar. 18, will include tenant rights, consumer rights, unpaid bills and income taxes. Tonight’s topic is “Understand ing the Legal System” and will include discussions of what law is, how law is made, what courts do and the difference between criminal and civil law. The classes run from 7 until 9 p.m. A one-half hour discussion Greeks paint courts, gym Fraternities and sororities saved the University almost $3,000 by painting the indoor racquetbail courts, the east gymnasium and stripping the gymnasium floor. Interfraternity Council President Mark Hall quist says. Almost 300 Greeks turned out to paint the courts and the gym Saturday morning, Hallquist says. They originally had in tended to paint the outdoor racquetbail courts as well, but damp, cold weather interfered. The event was part of the an nual Greek Week of Giving that began last Monday and ended Saturday. During the week, the Greeks raised more than $500 for the United Way through a volleyball tournament and a "bunion derby.” Greeks also donated 30 pints of blood. ‘‘I haven’t seen that big a turn-out of students in a volun teer project” in at least 15 years, says dean of students Bob Bowlin. *es. * ^BRflTUJtJRSI niTfl At the BAVARIAN GERMAN RESTAURANT $295 Includes: Our delicious German Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, German Rye Bread and bowl of our famous Beer Cheese Soup or Salad 444 East Third Ave. 345-9815 at the South end of Ferry St. Bridge / follows the lecture, but discus sion time can be extended, Wajsman says.
