Student research group
pens clean air petition
The Oregon Student Public
Interest Research Group has
started a petition drive to extend
the Clean Air Act
OSPIRG is supporting the
Stafford bill, which will keep the
clean-air standards the same
while eliminating some red tape
for businesses, says Doug Bain,
petition project volunteer The
program opposes the Dingell
Broyhill bill, which Pres Ronald
Reagan supports, that reduces
current air standards, he says
The group started the petition
drive to influence Oregon Sens
Mark Hatfield and Bob Pack
wood to support the Stafford
bill, Bain says Neither senator
has committed himself to a par
ticular bill, he adds.
OSPIRG aims to collect 8,000
petition signatures to send to
the senators, Bain says The
goal is attainable because
Oregon is noted for its environ
mental concerns, he says
The petition drive will go until
dead week, Bain says Petition
tables are located in the EMU
and various residence dining
halls.
Rhetoric scholar, poet
to recite works tonight
University News Bureau
Poet Leonard Nathan will
read from his early and recent
works tonight at 8 p m in the
EMU Forum Room The free
public event is sponsored by the
creative writing program
"Every poet has one or two
compulsive themes,” says
Nathan, a rhetoric professor at
the University of California
“One of mine is how to make
things fit together that don't but
should; the other is getting
down far enough below a sur
face to see if something is still
worth praising
"Over the years and without1
self-consciously trying, I have
moved closer and closer to the
human voice in my verse But I
have also tried to keep a quality
in it — for lack of a better word I
call it eloquence — that makes it
more than conversation My
hope is to be clear, true and
good listening," Nathan said
Nathan has written 10 poetry
books including “The Day the
Perfect Speakers Left," “Re
turning Your Call” and. most
recently, "Dear Blood
