Students explore Latin America
By Jeff Hamilton
Emerald ConifitHitof
The play may have been a howl endangered sea
turtles, but the group that traveled throughout
Central and South America educating audiences
just wanted to celebrate the sanctity of life.
Cristian Torlasco. an architecture student at the
University, and Marceta Nagel, also of Eugene,
are two of the six member* of Tortuga l.ibre.
which in Spanish means "free the turtle".
Nagel said the group traveled by van to eight
countries in rural areas and performed its play for
children Nagel said though the play was about
endangered sea turtles, the group tried to focus on
the positive.
"The biggest message of the play we performed
throughout our travels is to celebrate life." Nagel
said. 'The sea turtle is a symbol of everything in
this world and what can happen to it."
Torlasco. who plays the villaip of the story,
said the play is based on a Native American leg
end about how the constellations formed.
"The idea of the play." Torlasco said, "is that
sea turtles were sent to Earth by the sun and the
moon in order to protect the light of the stars.
Each time a turtle disappeared there would be a
shooting star in remembrance of the turtle. At the
end. the sun and the moon form the constella
tions as a reminder that we are sharing the Earth,
and we have to guard it,"
Nagel said the majority of the audiences had
never seen a play liefore and they enjoyed it a
great deal.
"We received new experiences each day."
Torlasco said "There was an exchange. We were
able to give them our music and drama, and they
shored themselves. The people were really open
and friendly and had a strong indigenous culture
that they shared with us."
Nagel said they learned a lot about the culture
in the different countries
"People think that Latin American countries
are all the same." she said, “but each country we
visited was totally different from the others and
each had its own different culture. It was great to
he able to play music with and share cultures
with nil the different people
According to tin* Sea Turtle Restoration Projet t.
the sen turtle is endangered because of a number
of human actions Of the seven sea turtle species,
si* am endangered.
“Tons of thousands of sea turtles drown in the
tufts of shrimp boats each year." said Todd Stein
er. the head of the project "The skin is also made
into leather and used for such things as Ixiots and
leather jackets."
Steiner said many international laws have been
created to protect the sen turtle against these oc
currences
Tortuga Libre made a documentary about the
sea turtle that was aired in the San Francisco Bay
Area many times during one month.
The members of Tortuga Libre met in Santa
Crua. Calif., last March. For the next three months
they prepared for the trip and performed their
music, a mixture of salsa. Latin and modern
styles, around the Bay Area in order to earn mon
ey to fund the trip.
Once the group reached Panama it had to fly to
Colombia because the Pan American highway
dead ends into 70 miles of jungle.
Torlasco said the flight from Panama to Colom
bia was the most expensive part of the trip. The
group even had to put their van in the plane.
To save money, the group performed their mu
sic in exchange for free lodging in many areas.
Nagel said the group experienced several mem
orable adventures during its journey
One time in Colombia, Torlasco and Nagel
were chased several blocks hack to their hotel by
six screaming men.
"We still don’t know why they were chasing
us.” Torlasco said.
"A memorable experience for me." Nagel said,
"was rafting in an inner tube in the rapids of
Costa Rico with the jungle on both sides of me
and seeing monkeys on trees and iguanas jump
ing in the river."
“The message 1 would like to leave with others
is that anybody who would like to do something
similar can, " Torlasco said. "It isn't dangerous if
you have a little common sense, and it is very in
expensive We plan to do this again someday.”
ASUO lobbies for Oregon tax reform
By Tammy Batey
Emwaio Associate Ecfctoi
The ASUO on Munday
kicked ofr its "Fighting for the
Future of Oregon" campaign,
which will emphasize the need
for tax reform to counteract the
effects of 1890's Ballot Measure
5 on higher education.
The campaign will include a
lobby day in Salem on March 3
as well as letter writing and
phone drives to legislators.
ASUO Vice President Karmen
Fore said people need to edu
cate legislators about the im
pact the higher education
crunch is having on college stu
dents.
"Who lietter to do that than
students." Fore said.
Enrollment dropped by about
1,200 poop 1e from fall term
1990 to fall tnmi 1991 — from
18,141 to 10,905, said Tom
North, the assistant registrar.
Tuition during that same peri
od jumped from $055 to $800 a
term for full-time resident un
dergraduates
Fore said she fears enroll
ment may drop by about 2.400
in the second round of cut
backs caused by Measure 5.
Students must face rising tui
tion costs at a time when col
lege degrees are becoming more
valuable, said Kyan Decker!.
ASIJO state affairs coordinator.
"The message is quite sim
ple.” Decker! said. “We are
University students fighting for
the future of Oregon. If we
don’t have educated citizens.
the impact on the economy is
unquestioned."
The letter and phone drives
will enable students who can't
make the trip to Salem on
March 3 to voice their views to
legislators, said John Thomas,
Student Senate president.
The "Fighting for the Future
of Oregon” campaign is mod
eled after the campaign she and
ASUO President Bobby I,ee ran
in spring 1992 for their present
ASUO positions. Fore said.
ASUO members will encour
age students to write letters to
legislators. Fore said.
"Unlike elections where peo
ple could re-elect legislators
who were responsive to higher
education, students don't know
the steps they can take to influ
ence legislators," she said.
