acquaintance rape, some question the
effectiveness of increased patrols.
"Short of having someone posted on
guard, that's not going to prevent
something like this from happening. "
said Hamilton Resident Director John
Thomas.
Thomas and Cloran Resident Assis
tant Jana Brusacoram said the lack of
information makes the situation
extremely frustrating.
"Until we know more, there isn't a
whole lot we can do." Thomas said.
"We don't even know if it really
occurred, but we have to treat it like
it did.”
Brusacoram said many of the hall's
52 residents are frustrated knowing
the alleged victim and rapist could be
their acquaintances.
Housing officials first learned of the
alleged rape Sunday. Jan. 31, when an
anonymous noto appeared on Brusaco
ram's message board. Tho note warned
women that an unreported rape had
occurred the night before.
"Mace will not help you." the note
said. "This girl's Mace was used
against her. Don't walk alone.”
Other anonymous messages
appeared the next day saying the
alleged rapist lives in Cloran. No one
sow anyone put the messages on the
board. Brusacoram said.
Housing officials received more
anonymous information Friday night
that said the victim also lives in Go
ran and the alleged rape look place
there. Eyster said.
The information received Friday
spurred University Housing to have a
meeting with Goran residents Sunday
night. At the meeting, residents and
housing officials discussed the alleged
rape and what steps should be taken to
prevent this from happening again
Housing officials gave residents
information about campus sexual
assault support services, hoping the
alleged victim attended the meeting,
said Residence Life Director Dick
Romm.
The information about support ser
vices remains posted in Goran for the
victim. Romm said.
Housing officials would like to
know the identity of th« alleged rapist,
Eyster said, but they don't want to
pressure the alleged victim to reveal
nor identity.
If identified, housing officials would
discuss the alleged rapist's behavior
with him. Eyster said.
However. University Housing could
not take any official disciplinary
action unless a formal complaint is
filed. Evster said.
"We want to honor the wishes of the
survivor." Eyster said. "If she wants to
file a report, we will help her. but if
she wants to remain anonymous, we
will respect that "

MINORITY

toward his ancestry. but ho later realized
hi* hidden negative feelings toward his
own culture.
When Diller was a child, his parents
practiced Jewish tradition, but with a
somewhat dispassionate attitude. Diller
said he belioves this is why ho lost inter
est in his heritage He also "didn’t want to
be different,"
"It just goes to show how negative our
feelings can be within us and not even
know it," Diller said.
Jews are "ambivalent about being Jew
ish across the board." Diller said
Some embrace their lewish heritage
while others, like himself, reject or try to
forget it. he said
"For Jews who live as a minority, it will
either heighten who they are, or they will
hide it.” he said
Those who try to forget their ancestry
might try to change their physical appear
ance or end relationships with other jews,
Diller said.
He said that especially during the holi
days it becomes hard for Jews who have
not vet confronted their Jewish heritage.
Jews must decide whether to partici
pate in the American mainstream tradi
tion of Christmas or celebrate the Jewish
Hanukkah.
"Certainly at Christmas time Jews are
reminded that they are different," Diller
said.
Adam Kreindel. a JSU member, said he
believes Christmas forces Jewish people
to choose between cultural traditions.
"That’s one time where Jewish people
have to decide who they tiro." Kreindel
said.
Ezra Bookstoin, co-director of tho |SU,
said a Portland study determined the Uni
versity has 1.100 jewish students, but
judging from the considerably smaller
number of lowish students who partici
pate in the |SU, many do not want to
identify with their heritage.
"There’s a big pressure to run from
Judaism." Bookstein said. "A lot of stu
dents don’t want to fie defined like their
parents were defined. That's why it’s one
of our main goals to let people know
about the pride of their Jewish culture."
Diller said a common problem some
Jews face is their white appearance,
which often causes people to lump them
together with white people and nut con
sider them minorities.
"By most blacks we're considered
white, but by most whites we’re consid
ered Jews." Diller said.
Bookstein said he was upset when tho
Emerald printed a graphic on tho Uni
versity's minority population which
failed to include lowish students. Tho
graphic, he said, represents the oversight
of Jews as a minority.
"The attitude of the Emerald’s article
that portrays Jews as white pushes a
forced invisibility upon our people."
Bookstein said.
Andy Waxman. JSU co-director, said
Jews are pressured to distinguish between
the cultural and religious as|>ects of their
heritage.
"We’re forced to make a break between
culture and religion." Waxman said.
"That's not our definition, but we have to
abide by it."

patrons were "a good distance away" from the pro
posed camp site.
Foreman said the homeless camp will lower
attendance at the planetarium because the public
might feel threatened by the campers.
Dale Allen, a Eugene resident opposing the pro
posal, collected 130 signatures of people who
oppose the camp.
Allen said his major concerns were the use of
city funds during budget shortfalls, the potential
for more calls to Eugene police, and fears the site
would attract non-Eugene residents.
However. Cynthia Kokis. a member of Eugene
Church Women United, who works with the Inter
faith Emergency Shelter Network, said "wo have
no record whatsoever of negative encounters "
She also said there were no shelters in Eugene
for people without children, and these people also
need a place to stay.
No one in their wildest dreams believes a
young couple or person would want to be in a
parking lot," Kokis said.
Wayne Ford, co-chairman of the Eugene-Spring
field Homeless Action Coalition, said the coalition
‘No one in their wildest
dreams believes a young
couple or person would
want to be In a parking lot/
— Cynthia Kokis.
Eugene Church Women United
would continue efforts to find other government
support, a concern mentioned by the Council.
Ron Chase, a member of the ad hoc committee
that created the car camp proposal said he would
visit the car camp before the closing date and
encourage people to leave.
He said case managers would tie available before
the closure to help families find alternate housing.
Two homeless men spoke against the camp.
Fearing harassment from the public. Sean West*
cott said he would be afraid for the campers' safe
ly at the WISTEC site.
Billy Burks said he prefers a campground with
showers, pay phones and a mailing address so "the
people tan find work, get back on their feet and get
on with their lives."
