By David Brown
Of Vw Emerald
The Lane County Sheriff's Department has
arrested a prime suspect in the Friday rape of a
19-year-old University student
Philip Wade McClure, 29, was arrested
Monday night at his home at 1100 River Loop
1 He is being held at the Lane County jail on
charges of rape and sodomy on $100,000 bail,
and on charges of parole violation with no bail
set
McClure, a convicted rapist, was paroled
from the Oregon State Penitentiary after
serving time for a rape that occured about a
half mile from the location of Friday s rape
The woman was accosted Friday at 11:30
a m about a quarter mile from the Knicker
bocker bridge while jogging towards Spring
field on a bike path paralleling the Willamette
River
McClure allegedly struck the woman over
the head with an umbrella, dragged her 15 feet
toward the river bank and raped her, according
to the victim's statements
"It's our belief that somebody ran by when
the rape was taking place," said Detective
Randy Banks of the sheriff's office. The office
hopes that person will come forward to offer
further assistance, Banks said.
"As far as we are concerned, we re looking
at no other suspects." Banks said McClure fits
the description given by the victim almost to
the last pound and inch, he says.
Furthermore, McClure owns a Volkswagen
van similar to one seen in the area at the time of
the rape
With assistance from the Eugene Police, the
sheriff’s department arrested McClure after a
citizen came forward with information, Banks
says.
Detective Dave Poppe of the Eugene Police
Department requests that a woman who
apparently escaped an assault in the same
area sometime near Oct. 9 come forward to
help identify McClure Poppe can be contacted
at 687-5185
The woman called the department concern
ing an attempted sexual assault but was
referred to the sheriff's office, Poppe says

From Associated Press and Emerald reports
A more liberal force may be
hitting the Lane County Board
of Commissioners as the result
of Peter DeFazio and Chuck
Ivey's unseating of a pair of
incumbents Tuesday night.
With 15 of 32 precincts
reporting, DeFazio was
defeating incumbent Vance
Freeman by about 3,000 votes in
the Springfield district De Fazio
had 58 percent of the vote
compared to Freeman’s 35
percent.
In the West County District,
with two of 38 precincts report
ing, Ivey carried 53 percent of
the vote to incumbent Harold
Rutherford's 40 percent Ivey
had almost 5,000 votes while
Rutherford had about 3,700
Bill Rogers, running unop
posed for the East County posi
tion, nabbed 75 percent of the
vote, with three of 42 precincts
reporting Some 25 percent of
the voters chose not to vote for
the position.
DeFazio, who is a legislative
aid for Congressman Jim
Weaver, attributed his success
to his attention to issues and his
platform, which emphasized
economic development and
energy
' People want a leader, a
fighter who wont let
government roll over them,”
DeFazio said Tuesday night
DeFazio claimed that
Freeman's "negative cam
paign" worked in De Fazio's fa
vor, because "voters want pos
itive campaigning and positive
leadership.”
Ivey, who is the mayor of
Junction City, emphasized
action as a key in bringing about
the diversification of Lane
County, according to the
Voter's Pamphlet
Voters turned away
About 10 to 15 student voters
were turned away at the campus
precinct Tuesday because their
names were not on the precinct
list, said Ann Heryford, Precinct
213 chairman
Some of the students said
they registered through the
ASUO voter registration drive,
Heryford said. The precinct has
had problems in the past with
the ASUO not turning registra
tion forms into Lane County
Elections headquarters, she
said
The ASUO did have problems
in the past but special care was
taken on this year’s registration
drive, said Mark Cleveland,
ASUO director of University and
academic affairs
He found five lost forms in the
office, three of which did not
have phone numbers,
Cleveland said The other two
were contacted and told about
the discovery, he said
The students may have voted
at the wrong precinct,
Cleveland said During ASUO
telephone canvassing, many
students did not know their
correct precinct location, he
said
Because of the number of
forms turned in, some may have
been lost at Lane County
Elections, Cleveland said. Such
a foul-up happened to him last
year, and he was unable to vote,
Cleveland added
Oregon Student Public
Interest Research Group may
have misplaced some forms, he
said. OSPIRG registered about
600 student voters, according to
Cleveland
Heryford said the elections
office has often received in
complete forms from student
government registration drives
and the office is not required to
contact the registrant if the form
is incomplete Some of the
students may have gone to the
wrong precinct or their forms
may have been lost, she said
