Group offers plan for saving wilderness

The Hardesty/June Wilderness Coun
cil will present its proposal for an alter
native backcountry management plan
for the Hardesty roadless forest area
tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Amazon
Community Center.
“We have a proposal for the manage
ment of the Hardesty/June area that we
want to see the Forest Service use. We
suggest preserving Hardesty as a
wilderness, removing trees only for
emergency purposes,” says Brett
Fisher of the University's Survival
Center.
“The area should be used as back
country wilderness for recreation,
education and wildlife needs,” Fisher
says.
The Hardesty/June area is the last in
tact roadless forest region in the entire
Lowell Ranger district of the
Willamette National Forest, says Sur
vival Center director Doug Norlen.
The Hardesty Mountain/June area
was omitted from a proposed Oregon
Forest Wilderness bill last summer. In
stead, the area was designated as
general forest to be managed for multi
ple uses, including timber sales, water.
recreation and wildlife, says Forest Ser
vice worker Mike Strange.
In the meantime, several local en
vironmental groups, including the Sur
vival Center, have opposed the logging
of the area and formed the Hardes
ty/June Council.
The Hardesty area is only a half-hour
from Eugene and is an increasingly
popular hiking area for Eugene
residents, Norlen says.
The area is also the home of three
known bald eagle nests, three occupied
spotted owl management areas, as wen
as cougar, deer and other forest wildlife
and flora, Norlen says.
In October, a group calling
themselves the Hardesty Avengers
claimed responsibility for spiking trees
in the Hardesty Mountain area with
5-inch nails to express dissatisfaction
with the planned timber sales.
Local environmental groups de
nounced the action, calling for
peaceful means of protest. Federal and
local officials investigating the inci
dent have failed to find the spikers.

“It is not my responsibility to
judge the display case as long as
it is not deemed illegal by the
state of Oregon,” she says. In
the past, complaints about the
contents of the display case
have been rare, she says.
Michael Cross, director of
Students Against Rape, Por
nography and Exploitation of
Children, fears the display will
be identified with his group and
will hinder its work.
“1 see where they’re coming
from. I see their point,” Cross
says of the WRRS display, but
he also agrees with Lewis’
charge that it could alienate
people, especially a part of the
display singling out white
males as the main consumers of
pornography.
“Our group is trying to bring
together men and women,
liberal or conservative.” he
says.
Lewis and Cross also argue
that the display advertises the
material it is supposed to
oppose.
Romano admits there is pro
bably a certain element that will
see the display merely as enter
tainment. A disclaimer on the
case is intended to deal with
this: “If you find this exciting.
seek help, tor you are tne victim
of a pornographic tolerable
society!!”
Romano is not bothered by
the controversy surrounding the
display. She says it has brought
an important issue out in the
open.
Magazines that depict women
being abused and dominated by
men reinforce violence toward
women in society, she says.
“The underlying fact is that
women’s bodies are used for
profit.” Juniper says. "The
destruction of women’s bodies
is seen as entertainment.”

teacher probably wouldn't be
promoted,” Hill says.
Richard Schmuck, chair of
the Faculty Personnel Commit
tee, which makes tenure and
promotion recommendations to
Hill, agrees that research con
siderations can often outweigh
considerations about the faculty
member’s teaching abilities.
‘‘The only thing to counter
balance poor course reactions
would be an outstanding
research record. Then maybe
teaching would be reduced in
its importance,” Schmuck says.
‘‘External research
demonstrates the person is on
the cutting edge of success," he
says.
But the hypothetical situation
of a professor being excellent in
one discipline and poor in
another probably doesn’t exist.
Hill says.
While Hill feels overall that
the University’s tenure and pro
motion system is a fair system,
he admits there are some
recognized costs.
“1 know of no more stressful
time in a faculty member's life
than when he or she is going
through a promotion or tenure
decision,” Hill says.
The tenure or promotion pro
cess can take up to a year to
complete while information for
the faculty member’s dossier is
gathered and the case is
thoroughly reviewed. Hill says.
This review takes place at
both the department and school
or college level, as well as
within the FPC.
“That’s a whole year that the
faculty member must remain
under this microscope.” he
says.
"I’m not saying that the pro
cess is foolproof — it's ultimate
ly a subjective decision,” Hill
says.
“But the system works suffi
ciently well that those costs are
worth it,” he says.
