Continued from Page 1 would perpetuate segregation and inequality, the president offered to appoint civil rights representatives to oversee the collection and distribution of the fees. The president said. “May God help us all as we seek in good faith a new way of resolv ing our oldest and most ineluc table problem.” Bell read In the remainder of his essay. Bell argued with his friend, a black woman named Geneva Crenshaw, that the new license was ridiculous, via computer ized electronic mail During questions from the audience Eugene attorney Roy Haber asked if Crenshaw's ap proval of the license showed resignation about a hopeless problem. Bell said Crenshaw may have spoken her approval with tongue in cheek, but added af firmative action policies have not had much impact on Amer ican employers “This bill (the Affirmative Action Act of 1990) itf clearly not going to en< ourage employ ers to start hiring minorities.'' Bell said. Asked what he felt about ra< e and class in America. Bell said. "The presence of race hides the reality of class White poor can ft*el better off by comparison to blacks. "Affirmative action, every time I mention the phrase at some schools I have to duck, has benefited far more white people than black people." Hell added, because employers must advertise jobs and even more white job seekers compete for them. "The notion of a license to practice racial discrimination in the 1990s seemed absurd, but no more so than the reality of worsening ra< ism as we ap proach the 2 Ist century.” Hell concluded. TROJAN Continued from Page 1 said it was also discovered last year that the emergency core cooling system did not work. "That’s a glaring problem," he said. Hemmingway's group, on the other hand, believes that Trojan has a reliable safety re cord. In an Oct. 14 article in The K eg isterGuard, H e m i n g w a y wrote the “shutdown of an ex isting power plant that has op erated safely and cleanly for more than 14 years makes abso lutely no sense. "I don't think the fine indi cates that the plant should be shut down." he said. "I think it shows that the existing regu latory process is working." Nevertheless, both the propo nents and opponents do agree that if Measure 4 passes, the shutdown would probably last at least 20 years, citing length of time the federal government has determined it will take to find a permanent waste dispos al site. Blit while agreeing on the length of a shutdown, the op ponents and proponents sharp ly disagree on how the effec t of a shutdown would affect ele< tricity rates. Measure 4 would require Trojan to shut down within to days after the election The plant supplies the Pacific Northwest with 3 percent ot its electricity and provides Oregon with 20 percent of its electric al energy. The PCF. Committee points to a Northwest Power Planning Council study that estimates a shutdown would cost ratepay ers a total of $1.5 billion to re place all of Trojan's energy re sources. A different study by the Public Utilities Commission places the cost at somewhere between $400 million and $900 million, which translates into a rate increase of $2 to S4 a month per ratepayer However, the Don't Waste Oregon Committee believes neither estimate is at i urate "We estimate that there Won't be (increased) costs, that there will be savings.
