do about this kind of greed."
Gilbert said "{The Nicolai
strikers) have made a perma
nent contribution to this com
munity."
He also expressed personal
thanks for the amount of com
munitv and University support
he received throughout the tri
al
"I really appreciate the sup
port I've gotten from people."
Gilbert said "I appreciate it
personally In a political sense
the kind of support I got during
tin1 trial really showed the
amount of support for the
strike "
Gilbert also expressed his
feelings about the trial and the
verdict in a statement, in which
lie said the aim of the protest
was to "rally our forces in the
community, portray the losses
of our community to Morgan's
greed, and to portray the lack
of community responsibility of
the highest ranking servant of
Morgan greed in our communi
ty. LeeRoy Pasquini."
Although he faces the possi
bility of criminal punishment.
Gilbert said he has no regrets
about llit* incident
"This trial shows we hit a
nerve." the statement sail!
"Taking the issue into the com
rnunity was much more power
fill than we expected at the
time I have no doubt that in
the future, citizens will focus
pub]ic attention on those ser
vants of greed, like I’asipiini
much sooner and more intense
ly.
"I want to state for the record
that I and the others for whose
a< lions I was also brought to
trial, have no remorse for what
we did on July 11. 1‘t‘IO. We
were defending our communi
tv We are proud to have stood
with the members and families
of Local UOU5 for two and a half
years, as have thousands of citi
zens in this community." the
statement said.
David McDaniels, physics
department head, said that al
though Gilbert, an adjunct pro
fessor. is paid through funds
th.it may be cut because of Bal
lot Measure 5. his career at the
University will not be affected
by the verdict.
"He won't be reprimanded."
McDaniels said. "He will cer
tainly continue this year.”

SECURITY
Continued from Page 4
"Portland is a much bigger
program both geographically
and in terms of budget." Drink
said "They cover all of down
town Portland, and usually
have between IJ and lt> guides
on the street at any one time
"They've been doing it for
two years now. and statistical
ly. in real terms they've had a
real impact on the c ommunitv s
perception of comfort w ith the
downtown and reducing all
types of crimes.” he said.
"They attribute that to the
guides."
for instance, the areas pa
trolled by the Portland guides
show a HO percent reduction in
strong-arm robliertes. compared
with a 17 percent reduction of
the- same type of crime in other
areas of the city. Thefts from
automobiles decreased 17 per
cent in guide patrolled areas,
while only dropping 10 percent
in the rest of Portland.
"Those kinds of statistics are
pretty much consistent in all
categories of crime,” brink
said "They believe the guides
have had a major impact on
crime activity in Portland.
''Hut 1 can't emphasis
enough that the reduction in
crime is a byproduct." he said.
“The main mission is to help
people, to be a source of infor
mation."
One of the reasons for the
guides' success in Portland is
the* strong rapport they have
with the local police force.
Brink said the Kugene guides
still have to prove themselves,
but the police have been in
volved in their training and are
very supportive so far. One
goal of llu> program is to lessen
tilt* iitvd for police mlfrvfntion
m cfrtiim situations ami wh.ii

Sargi'.uit Greg Zahar of I lit*

pects them to aid lilt* polit e in
i tintrolling nuisance t rimes on
the mall.
The guides have replat ed the
set urity guards from Absolute
Security, with whom Down
town Kugene Inc. had a four
year contract Funding for the
program is allocated from part
of the revenue generated by .1
special tax paid by downtown
businesses and property own
ers.
brink stressed that the guides
am street ambassadors, not se
curity guards The guides will
use interpersonal skills instead
of a tough appearance to keep
the peace on the mall
Brink expects the guides to
have a limited but positive ef
fect on the efforts to revitalize
downtown. Ultimately, he said,
it is the shops that bring people
downtown — but maybe a
friendly face will help make the
trip a positive one.
“My hope is that people who
avoid downtown because of
problems with the comfort lev
el will find on their next trip
that there's a friendly face
down there,” Brink said.
"Practically all of the success
of this program is the people on
the street, and I think we have
some real good people. Operat
ed correctly, it should have a
real positive influence on peo
ple coming downtown."
