SETA blockade protests University research
By Carrie Dennett
Emerald Reporter
Students formed a blockade in front of
University President Myles Brand s office
for more than four hours Monday to protest
research on two macaque monkeys at the
University.
A mock funeral procession sponsored by
Students for the Ethical Treatment of Ani
mals left the EMU about noon and traveled
to the corner of 13th and Kincaid, then dou
bled back to Johnson Hall.
The demonstrators, dressed in black and
carrying signs or flowers, ended the proces
sion in front of Johnson Hall where they set
down two small black coffins, one for each
monkey, with markers that read 'RIP
1980-1990.”
The “funeral" mourned the eventual
death of the monkeys, which are part of re
.search being conducted by Richard
Mnrrocco. a professor of psychology at the
University's Institute of Neuroscience The
monkeys will In* killed after two years of ex
periments so their body tissues can In? stud
ied to confirm the results.
"Monkeys are being tortured and it's not
right. It's not right to harm another spe
cies." said Monica Semeria. a member of
SETA for over a year.
Demonstrators addressing a crowd of on
lookers raised several issues, including the
treatment of the monkeys and whether
Marrocxo's research on the monkeys repli
cates existing research. Members of the
group stated that alternative means of re
search. including computer replication
based on previous studies, are being ig
nored.
Marrocco and John Moseley, vice presi
dent for research, have said that the re
search does not replicate any previous stud
ies.
"I would ultimately like to see that pri
mates are taken off this campus." Semeria
said. She also suid she hopes that the dem
onstration w ill raise public, awareness of the
research
"We should not forget they are here, and
we should do anything we can to end the
barltaric torture." she said
Demonstrators stood quietly while a stu
dent played' Taps", followed by soft drum
ming. One of the demonstrators questioned
why animal research is done in the name of
health while thousands of children are al
lowed to go hungry.
The group then mover! inside Johnson
Hall, placing the coffins in front of the door
to the offices of brand and Moseley.

State measures may be removed from ballot
SALEM (AP) - A Marion
County judge rulnd today that
five statewide measures aren't
eligible to be on the Nov. 6 bal
lot
Circuit Judge Richard Bar
ber's ruling could lead to re
moval of eight measures from
the general election ballot.
Barber said the proposals no
longer qualify for the ballot be
cause they won't be accompa
nied by financial impact state
ments as required by state law.
Because of printing dead
lines, Barber said the ques
tioned measures could stay on
the ballot but that votes for or
against them could not be
counted by election workers.
The measures affected by
Monday's ruling would limit
property taxes, shut down the
Trojan nuclear plant, ban some
non-recyclable packaging, es
tablish a pilot work in lieu of
welfare program and allow tax
credits for sending children to
private schools.
Harbor's decision was an out
growth of earlier Marion Coun
ty Circuit Court rulings that the
fiscal statements couldn't ap
pear on the ballot because they
weren't certified by state offi
cials by a legal deadline
Barber said the legislature
intended that measures not ap
pear on the ballot without the
required statements of financial
effects.
State officials were consider
ing an appeal. Michael Reyn
olds. an assistant attorney gen
eral. said a decision on appeal
ing probably wouldn't be made
Indore Tuesday.
He also said the secretary of
state s office hadn't yet decided
whether the ruling covering
five measures also would ex
tend to three more.
Those potentially could be
affected because they also were
supposed to have fiscal impact
statements. But the secretary of
state's office decided none of
the proposals with financial
impacts would have the state
ments printed with them be
cause none wore certified by
the legal deadline.
The three other measures that
could be affected would outlaw
most abortions, require paren
tal notice of abortions involv
ing minors and change taxation
of some public employee pen
sions
Reynolds said almost all bal
lots have been printed and that
by law. absentee ballots must
be available starting on Thurs
day.
