Clergy blasts
‘mindless trash’
By JEFF BAKER
Of the Emerald
An anonymously distribut
ed racist brochure evoked
the wrath of a dozen religious
and community leaders
Thursday.
The religious leaders
gathered at the Campus
Interfaith Ministry to
denounce "The Fifth King
dom," a virulently racist bro
chure left on doorsteps in the
Whiteaker neighborhood
Sunday.
A 75-year-old Portland
man with a history of writing
and distributing racist litera
ture has admitted writing the
brochure.
Rabbi Myron Kinberg
called on a cross-section of
clergy and community
leaders to share their
outrage at racism and
concern for equality in
Eugene. He began the press
conference by calling the
62-page brochure "a
mindless piece of racist
literature.
"These people came down
from Portland thinking there
might be an audience for this
type of trash,” Kinberg said,
referring to earlier disse
mination of “The Fifth King
dom” in Portland and Salem.
It was only a matter of time
before Eugene was hit, he
said.
Whiteaker community
organizer Wade Vowell
didn't know why his neigh
borhood was the only one to
receive the brochures. An
easy distribution route was
the sole reason Powell could
guess.
Episcopalian priest Linda
Bruno called the literature
unacceptable because it is
racist, sexist, anti-Semitic
and divisive. “We pray that it
will be destroyed,” she said.
Two public officials got
licks in against the brochure.
Alexander Stalowitz, an
assistant to Lane County
Commissioner Scott Lie
uallen, read a statement from
Lieuallen condemning the
people who passed out the
brochure as ‘‘cowardly
bigots.”
Eugene city councilor
Cynthia Wooten pledged
government help in fighting
racism. "It is an appropriate
role of city government to
work with groups like this."
Black leaders joined the
chorus against the litera
ture. Rev. James Jackson of
St. Mark’s Church said
blacks “will not be intimidat
ed by this type of action.
“Most ot our young people
today are arming
themselves, and they will not
take this type of intimidation
lightly. Cancer is a killing
factor, and this type of
material is a killing factor.”
English Prof. Edwin
Coleman extended
Jackson’s cancer metaphor,
denouncing a “creeping
cancer. We saw it in Salem
last week — it was only a
matter of time until it hit
Eugene.”
Coleman was referring to
harassment of Jews in Salem
and the smearing of a
swastika on a black state
senator’s door.
Rev. A^tor Crumbley had
the m6st vehement
comments. J’lt's an insult to
the community, this kind of
trash. I hope we can keep
this kind of trash out!

Music jobs are there
But grads have to get out of Eugene
By MARIAN GREEN
Of the Emerald
Editor’s note: this is part of a
series on the success of
graduates in the job market.
If University music school
students would leave Eugene,
they could probably find jobs.
Although recent statistics
show some recent music school
graduates are unemployed,
those willing to relocate can
find jobs, says Morrette Rider,
dean of the music school.
"The problem that does
violence to our statistics is we
have students that won’t leave
Eugene,” Rider says. "They
play in the Fifth Street Public
Market or the Eugene Sym
phony, but you can’t make a
living like that.
"If they won’t go where the
jobs are, we can’t help them.”
For those students who will
go where the jobs are, Rider has
comforting information. He
receives listings of available
jobs every week. This week,
there are 36 higher education
jobs, he says.
Four December graduates,
Rider says, were placed in listed
jobs by January.
"We get calls every week from
public schools," he says, "and
we don’t have anyone to send
them.”
Rider says most of the jobs
are in teaching, and three
fourths of the music students
are in teacher training.
"Those are the people we can
place,” he says.
Students who major in
professional performance or
composing will find an
“extremely competitive” job
market, Rider says.
One reason for the
competitive market is “those
jobs are paying very well," Rider
says.
“Second line” symphonies
starting salaries are $25,000,
and the big symphonies — like
Chicago or Los Angeles — start
salaries at about $30,000.
“It’s hardest to place some
one in performance," he says.
"And composers always
starve.”
To get the job they want, most
music majors get at least a
master’s degree, Rider says.
He estimates more than 75
percent of music professionals
have a master’s. All the faculty
