allow health officials to better track the disease's move
ment through the population, he said,
Jackson sees two problems with mandatory testing:
First, no test is perfect This would make questionable
the results of mandatory testing for the AIDS virus,
especially in a population group not at high risk of hav
ing the infection, he said.
Second is the cost. Jackson believes the limited
amount of money available to combat the disease would
be better spent in education and prevention efforts, he
said.
Cebbie agreed, adding that both general and
targeted education efforts are what is needed.
Johnson emphasized that by sponsoring the bill
YVyers has no intention of discriminating against
homosexuals.
Wyers. in fact, supports House liill 2:125, the so
called gay rights bill that would outlaw sexual
preference as a consideration for employers when hir
ing. (ohnson said.
The $1.5 million appropriated to combat the virus
should be used to educate high-risk populations.
Fidanque said, defining these populations as homosex
ual men. bisexual men and intravenous drug users.
The ACLl) did support a minority report to the bill.
Fidanque said.
The minority report would have required health of
fie la Is to give educational material to applicants for a
marriage license and also information about whore and
how to got the HIV test. That report was defeated 10-20
Ken Arpke of the Willamette AIDS Council also
believes the bill is an ineffective way to combat the
disease, he said.
Like Cebbie. he said that testing the population
group getting married will produce very few positive
results because the test is lasing aimed at the wrung
group.
“This population is not at that high a risk. Five
years from now that may be different,” ho said. Until
that changes he also favors education, he added.

The Emerald faces another
change aside from the restruc

Emerald board of directors
cancelled Spectrum magazine
because of financial insecurity,
according to a memo released to
Emerald staff and employees on
Tuesday.

would have sent three or four
officers to do the same job and
they would have been at it for
one or two hours. With only five
or six officers working a shift,
tying up three or four from per
forming other duties for two
hours would make him "real
concerned," he says.
In Lane County, police
canines have nipped murder at
tempts on police officers and
have apprehended burglars,
rapists, hit-and-run drivers —
even a kidnapper.

Sgt Eilwood Cushman, who
heads Eugene's canine unit,
says Eugene dogs respond to an
average of 40 calls per month.
Officers say they can ascer

presence often keeps violence
from erupting.
The presence of a Springfield
police car with its dog emblem

some calls from becoming ex

presence, "would've become a
big free-for-all. Policemen play
by the rules — dogs don't
always play be the rules. When
the dog is standing there, they
(the suspect) don't care about
me,"
McCarthy says initial ap
proval of the canine corps met
with some apprehension about
how the community would take
to their presence.
"There are some historic
photos that will never go away"
of police using German
Shepherd dogs for crowd con
trol of black demonstrators in
the South." he says "The
1980s issue is that they are
trackers."
Another initial apprehension
faced by officials was whether
lawsuits would result from dog
bites.
The dogs will bite if a suspect
tries to flee and will let go on
command.
No Uine County agency has
ever been sued because of bite
injuries, although some have
paid money, as when Spr
ingfield bought a pair of pants
for one suspect. Harrison says
the man "thought he could in
timidate the dog" and lunged
forward, not realizing there was
another dog behind him. which
promptly grabbed the seat of his
pants.

away was hard for us." said
Maher, the magazine's editor.
Maher attributes the cancella
tion of the award-winning
magazine to poor advertising
sales.
"1 still believe it could have
been saved in some form."
Maher said. "Almost seems
these days you get penalized for
quality.”
Susan Thelat). the Kinerald
advertising director, said the
magazine was not planned
thoroughly enough ahead of
time to develop a market for
advertising.
"The market wasn't able to
respond in such a way to keep it
going." she said. "It's real un
fortunate. If and when we feel
back on our feet financially. I
will do a market survey and
work with the editor to bring
the magazine hack in one form
or another."
Nelson expressed his disap
pointment at the cancellation
and said he expects to see "a lit
tle bit of Spectrum in the
Emerald" next year.
An
APOLOGY
from the Oregon Daily Emerald Classifieds
to Kasey Brooks, Karen Gaffney,
and all the Students of the ASUO:
For allowing the publication of an advertisement
that was placed on June 2, 1987. The ad was
malicious, offensive in nature and in extremely
poor taste. It escaped the notice of our screening
committee, and in no way reflects the attitudes,
opinions, or policies of this paper. We regret hav
ing exposed our readers and the ASUO Govern
ment to such irreponsibility.
