the people oil the tat-let! or the
far-right are the problem." Steel
s.nii "Out it's not the people on
the left or the right that are the
problem, at least we know
where they stand It's those
people that sit 111 the middle
and do nothing that ate our
problem

Bill Morrisette and University
President Myles Brand
Teenage pregnant \, drug
abuse, poverty and racism are
all problems plaguing not only
the Eugene community, said
Steel, but every community in
the country
"These problems are not
black problems not white
problems, not red problems
and not yellow problems, but
they are America’s problems.'
Steel said
What is needed, Steel said, is
for people to become active in
their communities it is not an
ex; u->e to rely on past action to
justify current inaction, he said
Many people will tell you
what they did 20 to 10 years
ago but you can't just rust on
your laurels.” Steel said
Lacy Steele
He i hallenged each member

Part of this activism. Steel
said, call even take the lorili ul
challenging people who toll
aikes that are derogatory to mi
nority groups We must chal
lenge a lie when we hear It or it
will become the truth." Steel
said
Aside from activism. Steel
said what is needed is innova

to solve todav s problems we
Heed today's solutions." Steel
said
Steel said parents should talk

drug dealers will (a ntral to
talking to children is under
standing their language. Steel
said.
'Those persons who recruit
our children for drugs speak
their language." he said "They
listen to the rap records, where
as most of us say that we don't
have the time "
