Fed up with the “animal rights” movement?
“Animal rights” groups equate the life of a child

help you work locally to support biomedical
research, bring speakers to your campus, and orga

Republicans try to unseat Jolin
SALEM (AP) —
Republicans pro
[> o s e d a ballot
measure Monday
that would prevent convic ted
felons such os Democratic Sen.
Peg Jolin from serving in the
legislature
House Majority leader Greg
Walden. R-Hood River, said the
measure would go on the May
1994 ballot if passed by the
Legislature.
I it? said the John matter is the
top issue in the public mind
about the 1-egisioturo since the
session < omened Jan 11
Meanwhile, the minority Re
publicans in the Senate official
ly asked that Jolin be removed
as chairwoman of u Senate
committee, but stopped short of
asking her to resign
Jolin. a 12-year legislative
veteran from Cottage Grove, re
* ponded that the Republicans
had become "extraordinarily
vicious"
John was convicted of undue
influence for seeking donations
to erase campaign debts when
her campaign fund actually had
a surplus.
State law prohibits people
convicted of "infamous
crimes" from holding public of
fice. But the state Constitution
gives the Legislature the ulti
mate authority over who is
qualified to serve in that body.
That means the Republicans,
with 14 of the 30 Seriate seats,
cannot take any official action
against John without help from
Democrats. It requires two
thirds, or 20 votes, to expel a
member.
Senate Minority leader Gene
Timms, R-Burns, said Monday
he believed |olin should resign
Police: Clinton policy
contributes to attack
NATIONAL
WILMINGTON, N.C (AP) — Three Marines
showed no remorse as they were booked on
charges that they treat a ^ny man apparently
IxM.ause of President Clinton's push to lift the
han on homosexuals in the military, police
said Monday
i rtey were saving inmgs like mev naie on laggocs ami uiey vs isn
they were all dead and they’re not ashamed of it." said Ed Gibson,
the Wilmington police desk sergeant when the Marines were
brought to the station after tin- attack early Saturday.
Three Marine lance corporals — Colin l Hunt. 20. Patric G.
Card one, 2.1. and Walter G. Watkins. 2H, all of Jacksonville. N C —
each were charged with four counts of assault They were freed on
$400 bond each
White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers called the incident
deplorable and said it lends no credence to military leaders who
warned that lifting the ben would lead to violence against homo
sexuals.
"There have always been instances of bigotry against not only
homosexuals but against other rac ial and ethnic minorities." she
said Monday "The president deplores it. but 1 don't think that is a
reason not to take a step forward on a c ivil rights issue."
The victim, Crae Pridgen. 2H. suffered cuts and bruises He lost a
tooth, had a blac k eye. swollen lip and cut ear
He told polic e that the* attac kers mentioned Clinton.
Thri-e other pimple who tried to break up the scuffle received mi
nor injuries.
Pridgen i ame to Raleigh on Monday to meet with representatives
of Gov. Jim Hunt, saying he would do whatever it takes to prevent
more gay-bashing. Hunt was at the meeting of the National Gover
nors Association in Washington. D C
Pridgen credited three witnesses for saving him.
"I believe I would have been dead I've never fell anything like
that liefore. 1 mean. I've lieen in fights before, but nothing like
this." said Pridgen, adding that he had never lieen attac ked because
of his homosexuality
He was asked if the attack and his decision to meet with the gov
ernor's staff could lie compared to the Navy petty officer in Califor
nia who's championing homosexual rights in the military.
"I don't feel like a hero." Pridgen said.
Police Sgt. M | Woods said local offic ials would turn the e.ase
over to the FBI because the incident is a hate crime
Gthson said the Marines apparently wandered into the liar, not
realizing it was for homosexuals.
Pridgen apparently was drugged out of the Mickey Ratz bar
Woods said there was no evidence the attack was provoked.
Bor owner Bill Rawls, whose business has been open three years,
said he had never hod problems with fighting liefore.
"They (the Marines) made some remark to some gay people
about the president and the military," and the fighting started, he
said.
Wilmington authorities could decide to turn over the case to mil
itary authorities, said Capl. Ciathy Close of the Camp Lejeune pub
lic affairs office. If a military investigation found culpability, action
against the Marines could lead to a court martial, she said.

prepare for
King trial
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Store owners are hiring extra
security guards and drafting
elaborate riot plans in prepa
ration for more violence if a
federal jury hands out acquit
tals in the second Rodney
King trial.
“I will hove to have em
ployees on the roof with
guns, I guess,” said Bob Bow
er, owner of Bower Whole
sale Inc., a South Central
sport gun store that sustained
$700,CKK) in losses from loot
ers in the spring riots.
Securicorp International
Inc., a security guard firm,
added 50 guards to bring its
force up to about 400 in an
ticipation of calls from cus
tomers. During the riots.
Securicorp put 100 extra
guards on the payroll.
"We haven't had any addi
tional requests yet, but we're
beefing up our force.” said
Frank Alonso, executive vice
president of operations.
The second trial of four
white police officers charged
with beating the black motor
ist is scheduled to begin
Wednesday with jury selec
tion. The trial, expected to
last two months, is in federal
court. The defendants are ac
cused of violating King's civil
rights.
King was beaten by white
officers following a March 3,
1991, traffic stop. A video of
the beating taken by a nearby
resident was aired repeatedly
to an outraged nation and
should again be the center
piece of the prosecution's
case.
