Packwood refuses to resign
By Lisa Kneefei
Emerald Reporter
In a pros* conference Thursday In Washington,
DC , Son Bob Packwood apologized for "unwel
como and offensive" conduct toward women but
announced he has no plans to resign
According to a Washington Post article pub
lished Nov 22. former employees, lobbyists, am
palgn workers and others said Packwood made
uninvited sexual advances toward them from the
IfMiOs to the lftftOs.
Packwood called his actions "just pluin wrong"
and "boorish." The senator said he would not use
alcohol as a defense al
though ho ritcontiy
spent a wook at an alco
hol treatment facility.
“I guarantee that
nothing like this will
happen again," he said.
Hackwood said he
will cooperate fully
with the Senate Ethics
Committee, which is
conducting a prelimi- j
nary inquiry into the
>en. Bob Pack wood
alligations Ho also said ho will seek counseling,
if necessary, to "drastically and totally" change
his altitude and professional relationships
I’ackwood refused to address specific allega
tions anil instead addressed his "unequivocally
strong record ot support tor women » issues
Calling hi# office a 'beacon of of opportunity’'
for women in Oregon and in Washington. Pack
wood said his belief in women'# rights has born
an integral part of his political earner.
•'Whether it was saving Hells Canyon or French
Pete, or whether it was those lonoly and solitary
hours in the late 70s and early 80s defending Koe
vs Wade, trying to prevent its reversal or dis
memberment. I led the fight," he said.
Packwood said his political activities have been
"gender neutral" since 1960, when he wus elect
ed chairman of a county Republican Central Com
mittee Before he took over, women equally or
more competent thun men on the committee were
confined to subordinate roles, he said
"Sooing both their frustration and the waste of
their talents, I moved these women into positions
of authority and responsibility," he said.
Packwood said his record of support for wom
en's Issues is now '‘clouded’’ by the allegations.
Liven though most of the incidents happened 10
to 20 years ago and threatened no jobs, pay or
status, his conduct was wrong, Packwood said.
"I just didn't get it," he said. “I do now."
But Betty Roberts, a former Oregon Supreme
Court justice, said Packw-ood “still doesn't get it."
In an Associated Proas story, Roberts, who lost
a bid for the Senate to Packwood in 1974. said
"whal we saw today was just a cover up."
"He wouldn't discuss the facts," Roberts said.
"It's his attempt to avoid it."

University must obey waste laws
By Demtan McLean
Emoratd Reporter
The University told soloctcd
departments Tuesday to clean
up their act
As part of a 1989 state law,
the University must find ways
to reduce toxic chemical use
and waste production. The
same law applies to Oregon's
paper mills and electronics in
dustry. and must Ik? complied
with by September of next year.
Though the University is not
among the state’s largest toxic
waste producers, certain aca
demic departments and main
tenance produced more than
2.G40 pounds of waste last
year, enough to classify the
University as a large-scale
waste generator.
This means the University
will have to look for ways to re
duce the amount of chemicals
used and waste produced,
largely through improved effi
ciency Under the Oregon
Toxics Use Reduction and Haz
ardous Waste Act. the Universi
ty will police itself, monitoring
its use and generation of toxic
materials and hazardous waste.
Departments included are
chemistry, biology, athletics,
architecture and allied arts, and
other organizations such as
printing, the EMU ('.raft Center,
University Housing, the Uni
versity Physical Plant. Office of
Public Safety. EMU Mainten
ance and the Oregon Dally Em
omld.
David Livengood, specialist
at the University's Office of En
vironmental Health and .Safety,
said that departments will ex
amine chemical use from start
to finish
Departments will follow it
all the way through the process,
from whore the chemical ar
rives here, to where it goes up
the fume hood comes to us."
Livengood said.
Torn Hicks, an officer with
Environmental Health and
Safety, said the University's
new classification as a large
scale generator is due to con
taminated soil found two years
ago at the Riverfront Research
Park The soil was contaminat
ed by old paint waste buried
years earlier.
Almost 20.000 pounds of that
soil was shipped out last year,
pushing the University from
small quantity waste generator
to large scale.
Between now and Dec. 31.
department heads will examine
a 59-page document from
Hicks' department which ex
plains what substances are tox
ic and contains a rough draft of
suggestions for reducing their
consumption and waste.
By the new year, depart
ments must have reviewed the
draft and added any sugges
tions.
