ODE BOARD
The Oregon Daily Emerald Board of Direc
tors voted 7-1 in a secret ballot to remove
former Board Chair Dane Claussen from the
board in a special meeting Wednesday night.
Claussen, publisher of the fledgling student
newspaper the Oregon Commentator and a
student-elected member of the board, was
removed without board discussion and with
no cause of removal stated.
"I think the board's vote was based on
politics and personalities," Claussen said.
The bylaws of the Oregon Daily Emerald
Publishing Co. include a section that allows
the board to remove any director by a majority
vote without citing cause.
The special meeting had been called for the
purpose of removing Claussen and Rich Burr,
editor of the Oregon Commentator, who was
appointed to the board by ASUO Pres. Mary
Hotchkiss.
However, the vote to remove Burr, also in
secret ballot, was 4-2 with two directors abs
taining and Burr remains on the board.
Claussen will remain on the board until a
replacement is determined.
At the board's regularly scheduled meeting
Tuesday, David Kosse, student director
representing the paper's advertising depart
ment, was elected Chair of the Board and
Denise Fuller, student director appointed by
ASUO Pres. Mary Hotchkiss, was elected
Secretary of the Board.
HEARINGS OFFICER
Joseph Hollander, a Costitution Court hear
ings officer, has determined that a "potential
conflict" exists with University student Tom
Birkland holding positions on three different
University groups.
But Hollander has recommended to the
Court that Birkland be allowed to maintain his
positions if he adheres to four provisions.
Birkland is director of the Political Science
Student Union and the campus chapter of the
American Civil Liberties Union and is a
member of the Student University Affairs
Board.
Hollander's recommendation is that
Birkland, as a voting member of SUAB, abstain
from confirmation votes concerning Incidental
Fee Committee members and EMU Board
members, be involved in no matters before
SUAB concerning the PSSU or ACLU and he
not represent either PSSU or the ACLU before
SUAB.
EMU BOARD
HOUSE COMMITTEE
The House Committee of the EMU Board
Wednesday discussed renting office space to
the Oregon Commentator, the new student
newspaper; whether to charge rent to the
Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group and granted a request by ASUO for use
of the Open Mike in the EMU Courtyard every
Wednesday through the end of fall term.
University student Dane Claussen, publisher
of the paper, was told to ask EMU Director
Adell McMillan to provide a lease contract and
submit it to the full board for approval.
The question regarding OSPIRG was tabled
and a research committee was formed to
determine if a parallel exists between other
non-profit groups in EMU and OSPIRG .
SUAB
The Student University Affairs Board Tues
day outlined an amendment that would raise
student representation in a reduced University
Senate to 14 from the eight originally sug
gested by a task force on faculty governance.
The admendment passed in the senate
Wednesday and now must face the faculty
dominated University Assembly on Nov. 9.
In other action, SUAB added three members
to its ranks, including Mia Anderson, an ar
chitecture and allied arts graduate student;
Shereem Proper, an education senior; and
Maureen Noland, a senior majoring in human
development and resources.

are about 80,000 witches in the
United States.
Saturday night she and about 30
other followers of the Craft burn
ed down a 10-foot maypole they
had built last spring, while they
chanted and danced around its
flames.
The maypole symbolizes earth's
fertilization, which enhances
growth of living things. Burning
the maypole in turn symbolizes
the death of old life to make way
for the new.
Fox is one of few witches who
have dared "come out of the
broomcloset." Most practice wit
chcraft secretly because of
society's incorrect assumptions
about witches, Fox says.
Most Americans remember the
witchcraft trials and subsequent
burnings of witches by the 17th
century Puritans. Yet witches were
persecuted long before then, Fox
says.
Since the 12th century Inquisi
tion, paganism — and especially
witchcraft — has been persecuted
by the Christian church because
paganism deviated from the
norm, Fox says.
The Inquisition was a Roman
Catholic tribunal aimed at sup
pressing heresy. During the in
quisition, 9 million people were
killed in the name of Christianity,
Fox says.
Inquisition leaders portrayed
witches as devil-worshipping,
wart-nosed, ugly, old hags who
soured milk when they came near
it.
That reputation is still prevalent
in society, Fox says.
Ironically, witches don't even
believe in the devil, Fox says. "We
believe in nature. To believe in the
devil, you have to believe that the
world is black and white. It is
I
I
many colors. The world isn t that
simple/' she says.
"We’re just like everybody else,
normal folks with normal jobs.
People tell me I'm in this for some
reason other than I am. But this is
an important spiritual thing for
me and I just like to practice it
without harassment.
"In a country that practices
freedom of religion. I'd like to be
able to practice (witchcraft)
without being thought of as com
mitting a crime."
