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.

King may get day
A motion up for approval today in the University Senate
could establish Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday as a com
memorative University holiday.
The motion, authored by Julie St. Clair, Student University
Affairs Board chairer, asks that the administration establish
Jan. 15 as a commemorative day at the University, and
support those persons actively seeking to establish a nation
ally recognized day "in honor of this American who stood for
peace, justice and equality for all people.”
