Bryan wanted the focus of the vigil to
remain religious.
Bryan said the climate created hy Bal
lot Measure 9, which, if passed in the
Nov, 3 election, would declare homosex
uality "abnormal and perverse, " may
have contributed to the firebombing
Bryan said the people gathered togeth
er because they have common religious
values of justice and peace, regard less of
their personal beliefs.
Reverend Tiare Mathison-Bowie, a
Presbyterian minister, became very emo
tional when she addressed the crowd
and promised not to be silenced in the
current debate over homosexuality
"I am ashamed and angered that reli
gion is being used and abused to create
this kind of climate.” she said, "a eli
main where people can die."
Muthison-Bowio said shr is upset that
the Oregon Citizens Alliance, the spon
sor of Measure is creating a climnto In
which people can use the Bible to de
stroy lives.
Kohbl Myron Kinberg of the Temple
Beth Israel condemned the flrehomhing.
calling it a murder committed on the
whole homosexual community.
"This is a frightening period of four
and sadness." Kinberg said "When a
murder is committed because a person is
homosexual or black. every person who
is homosexual or black feels that their
life is personally threatened
kinberg said he was frightened by the
amount of racist groups in Oregon and
that something must be done before it is

nity.
"I think (the telefund) is very, very important to tho
University, so it cnn continue to perform at the high
level it is performing at," Koolling said. “Students pro
vide a lot of income to Eugene, and the University itself
is Eugene's largest employer.”
Koolling said the telefund creates a domino effec t
The money tho telefund channels into the University
finds its way back into the community. Tho more mon
ey the tolofund raises, the greater the community bene
fit.
The tolofund also provides an opportunity for alumni
to speak with student callers and share their feelings
and concerns about the community, Koolling said.
Comments made by alumni through telefund actually
plunled tile seed to start the Early Orientation Registra
tion Program for incoming freshman, which has been
renamed "IntroDUCKtion," Koolling said.
"People think wo're trying to butter them up by say
ing we cure about what they say, but wo really do,"
Koolling said.
