would perpetuate segregation

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.

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
