But he isn't sure he'll he filming any movies in Oregon after November. "It's not whether I want to. It’s whether 1 legally could," the Port land-based director said. Van Sant, who is gay, is worried about a measure on Oregon's ballot Nov. 3 that would label homosexuality abnormal and forbid government from promoting or facilitating it. "It might get to the point where people like me can’t shoot their films," said Van Sant. His last movie. My Own Private Idaho, dealt with male prostitutes. Measure 9 also is causing jitters among the people who promote Oregon's travel and convention business. They fear tourists and professional groups will shun Oregon, costing the state millions in lost tourism dollars. "I think the potential for that is there," said Jim Bocci of the Portlund/Oregon Visitors Association. "This thing has gotten quite a bit of national attention," Bocci points to Arizona, which lost more than $160 million in convention business after dropping a state holiday honoring Martin Luther King. One of the chief supporters of Measure 9 accuses opponents of trying to "blackmail" Oregon voters by making empty threats about economic boycotts. "The homosexual community potentially could be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy that could hurt some businesses in the stale," Lon Mahon said. “But long term, it’s going to have no effect at all."

After aiiout a month of inter nal discussion, the paper gave Bishoff the OK to launch his ra dio career But like all new voyagers, Bishoff had to weath er a few storms before he hit the open tuns and found smooth sailing Because of scheduling con flicts, Bishoff and Roberts end ed up with no guests for thoir debut as hosts of the program.

"1 was just scared to death. In fact, I said something about go ing on the roof and throwing myself on the mall because this is not the way 1 had envisioned this was all going to work." Bishoff credits Roberts’ radio experience with helping him relax and enjoy the show. But Roberts' calming Influence ex tends beyond the; on-air time. Roberts said for the first month of their partnership Bishoff was making regular last-minute phone calls to his homo. "Once, he called the house," Roberts said. "I think it was about tho sevonth or eighth lime that day. maybe, my son said, 'Dad, it's Bishoff again.'

"I try to throw in some irrev orent-type things to try and loosen up the person being in terviewed and let them get a lit tle more comfortable,” Bishoff said, "and to provide some spice because it ain't all a seri ous world out there." KAVE co-owner Jordan Sea man said Bishoff's notoriety from the newspaper column gives him an advantage in put ting peoplo at nuse. "People read the column all tho time anyway," Seaman said. "People tend to speak to him on a first-name basis on the show. They call up and say. 'Don, 1 wunt to comment on what you just said,' like they know him already from the newspaper." Bishoff obviously enjoys in teracting with peoplo, and he said tho radio show provides him with a chance to havu con tact with people who are of a different generation. And at tho same time, having hint host the show is an attempt by KAVE to reach those not in the college age group. “I'm not tho typical KAVE listener,” Bishoff said. "1 don't like 95 percent of the music they play on this station. It's just not my era I'm an old fart.”
