"Wo got burned once with David Souter, and
we're not willing to do it again," Widoff said.
"We're not Interested in sitting quinth bv while
women's rights are being eroded "
Another concern expressed .11 the rally was
Thomas’ apparent lack of concern for affirmative
action and equal opportunity.
Thomas' track record in the public system has
been almost totally against what the National As
sociallon for the Advancement of Colored People
has stood for in the last 82 years, said Creg Evans,
President of Oregon/Washington NAAOP Coun
cil.
"Wo did extensive research on the Judge's re
cord going back to his full public record We
found Thomas not only inconsistent on his pos
ture of affirmative action and equal opportunities,
but he was resistant to it," Evans said
"Clarence Thomas has shown arrogant disre
gard for women, minorities, anil senior citizens,"
ho said.
Hvuns said the NAACP voted to oppose the
nomination of Thomas -I'M. He said that “ole..!
ing Thomas would he a reactionurv judgeship
one that is not going to lie tolerant of i ivil liber
ties as outlined in the constitution."
Carmen Yokum of the Older Womens’ leag . ■
also accused Thomas of discriminating against
older people while he was in charge of the Kqual
Kmployment Opportunity Commission
Linda Zukitis, co-chair of the National Lawyers
Cuild, Siiid that while Thomas was in charge of
LhOC, he said he "forgot" 7lt discrimination
claims filed by senior citizens Thomas then
changed his figure to MOO, and finally to 7,5(H)
claims. Congress learner! later the number was ac
(unity 9,000.
All speakers asked people to call their senators
and urge them to opposo Thomas' nomination for
the Supreme Court. The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee will vote Friday on whether to recommend
Thomas to the full Senate

what to do, Hausman said.
The lawsuit may not have
been the best method of chang
ing animal research policies, he
said.
"1 think the lawsuit further
polarizes tin; two groups, and
that educating each other and
learning from each other might
have accomplished more,” he
said
Hausman also said much has
c hanged at the University since
the lawsuit was firsl filed in
ltlflti A prime example is
Hausman's appointment to the
IAUUC, a move he calls "a
great gesture of faith” by Mose
ly anti the University.
"This is the first time an uni
mal-rights activist has boon up
pointed to an animalcare nnd
use committee anywhere in the
country," ho said.
A similar ease, brought by
I’KTA and SKTA, has boon
brought to l.ano County Circuit
Court. Th.o suit targets the
lACUC’s approval of l>r. Rich
ard Marroci.o's rosoarch on ma
