Ballot Measure 6 to be debated
in forum sponsored by ASUO
By Mary Courtis
CM ih» Emerald
A forum debate on Ballot
Measure ft will take plate at
7:30 p.m today in Room tB7
EMU
The forum is sponsored by
the ASUO and will feature Ruth
Leibik and Kit Creerty. Greerty.
of Right to Life, will oppose the
measure while I.eibik. of Plann
ed Parenthood, will support the
measure.
Ballot Measure fi would pro
hibit state-funded abortions in
Oregon and has aroused strong
feeling both for and against it
across the state and on campus.
Because Measure 6 is such a
sensitive issue, the ASUO
believed it was essential to ex
pose students to both sides of
the issue, said Shannon
Meehan, Project Saferide
coordinator.
"I decided a debate forum
would be the fairest way to treat
the ballot measure.” she said.
" That way people can weigh a
variety of opinions and make up
their own minds about it."
"I'm really looking forward
to the debate,” Leibik said. “I
like it when people ask ques
tions so I can respond to thorn
It's more dynamic than just a
straight speech."
Greerly believes the forum
also wili be helpful because it
should provide an opportunity
for students to see how each
side responds to the other's
criticisms.
"I feel that to spend tax
payer's money on abortion is
not a proper function of govern
ment." Greerty said. "But my
purpose is to provide informa
tion for voters so that they can
make well-informed
decisions."

certain group of people. Krum
mel said.
"Our program is mainly for
concerned parents and their
kids." he said. "The trouble
with traditional drug-awareness
programs is they are large
presentations with a lecture
format."
krummel believes a lack of
one-on-one discussion hinders
these programs.
“Another problem is that not
many people show up for these

things," he said. “This is a
Catch-22 for the professionals
(who lecture) You want to
make people aware, but nobody
comes to listen."
Krummel expects media at
tention of substance abuse to
die down as other issues take its
place, he said.
"But the problem will not
(die down) until the community
meets it head on. And it's hap
pening in epidemic proportions
right now, at least locally, he
said.
While RAPP's purpose is
education and prevention, the
Horizon Center itself is for treat
ment. Among Horizon’s treat
ment programs is REACH, an
outpatient adolescent treatment
program geared for youths ages
12 to 18.
Some of the children going
through REACH are there
because their parents attended
RAPP sessions and recognized
signs of drug abuse.
The group meets three times a
week at the Horizon Center and
participates in group therapy,
family therapy and support
activities.
A pari of group therapy con
sists of having the outpatients
and a staff member sit in a room
and discuss their problems of
dealing with addiction.
Last week, the Horizon Center
allowed an Oregon Daily
Emerald reporter to sit in on a
30-minute discussion with
former abusers. The children
ranged in age from 11 fo 17.
each of whom was being trealed
for drug and alcohol abuse.
"You don’t want to admit to
yourself you have a problem,”
said Jeff. 15. who asked that his
last name be withheld. "It’s
hard to admit to vour parents,
too.”
"My parents use it against
me," another group member
said. "Whenever they get mad
at me, they always bring it up.”
Hut often, the most difficult
thing is changing your attitude
toward drugs and alcohol, Jeff
said.
"Sometimes I say to myself, '1
can have a couple of beers or a
hit of acid, and everything will
lie OK.’ ” he said.
Mike. 15. said he has similar
problems. "Just because I’m off
drugs, people think
everything's OK. But there’s a
little voice in my head that says,
‘Get fucked up,’ " he said.
Classes in the Horizon Center
have helped Mike cope with his
temptations, he said. “They
teach you about the effects of
drugs. They tell you what that
hit of acid does to your brain."
he said.
"These are not bad kids,”
said Craig Bryan, the Horizon
staff member who led the
discussion. "They are not hard
core criminals. They're a group
of smart kids who made the
mistake of getting involved
with drugs."
