today, but also they'll have sug
gestions on what legislators can
do.
"The instrument you're using
to crack the ice with gets sharp
er and sharper as you hone the
message," he said. "When we re
outside chanting our slogans,
that's effective That makes stu
dents feel empowered, but a lot
of legislators will go out the side

EARTHQUAKE
Continued from Page 1
injured It.757 others an<l caused nearly
$(> billion in damage
However, that quake was centered
morn than 50 miles south of San Fran
cisco and Oakland, where most of the
deaths occurred
Scientists had suspected the second
fault under downtown Portland. It was
i on firmed by an aerial magnetic survey
conducted last Septemlntr, Blakely said
A small plane made 1 Tl passes over
the Portland area at Hot) feet to measure
the magnetic intensity of the earth's sur
face. he said The faults are visible as
linear patterns, showing strong magnet
ic attraction.
The newly mapped fault runs along
the cast side of the Willamette River
from the University of Portland south to
Mount Tabor It lies beneath the I.lovd
Center, one of the i ity's major shopping
malls, and runs almost parallel to a fault
that was dis»overed earlier.
The first fault is almost 50 kilometers
longer than previously thought. Blakely
said It runs through Portland's west
hills from the northern edge of the i itv's
Forest Park, beneath Portland State Uni
versity. anil south to Milwaukie. Togeth
er. they form what geologists now are
calling the Portland Quadrangle
Ai cording to records that date back to
IH-tl. the Portland area has experienced
more than 100 minor earthquakes.
"Given that we have some earth
quakes and some faults, the !>est guess is
that future earthquakes will occur on the
major features." said Ian Madin. a geol
ogist with the Oregon Department of
Geology and Mineral Industries.
"Although that doesn't change the
message that we've been try ing to get out
for the past few years, that Portland is
subject to major earthquakes," Madin
said "It underscores that fact and it
brings the potential for earthquakes right
under our feet
Meanwhile, regional officials with the
Metropolitan Service Council and the
Department of Geology have launched
an unprecedented preparedness effort
(Geologists are digging Irene lies across
fault lines and analyzing layers of earth
to determine when the last movement
occurred and how severe it might have
been.
In addition, soil samples are being tak
en all over the city. Madin said, adding
he already has records of samples taken
near the foundations of existing build
ings Karthquakes typically are more
severe on sand and silty soil saturated
with water, the type of ground that lies
fieneath much of downtown
Soil analysis maps will be combined
with analyses of eai h building's struc
tural integrity, giving city officials a map
that shows the buildings and areas most
susceptible to severe damage in an
earthquake. Madin said.
A downtown map already has been
drafted indicating the potential for dam
age based on soil conditions alone It
will be available for public sale April 1,
Metro spokesman Gerry Uha said.

In addition to the four dead. Hi agents were wound
ed; all were out of the hospital or reported to stable
condition Tuesday.
Koresh's relatives urged him to surrender.
"I wish he'd give up, I wish he'd give up," his
grandmother. Jean Holub. said in Houston. "And I
wish he'd get out of that place and start over and not
get killed, take tare of his family,"
Members of the Branch Davidian sect believe

lation and can bring alumt the end of the world. The

Harris said CISCAP and the
University of Oregon/Univer
sity of El Salvador Sister Uni
versity Project spent the past
year raising money for the
truck, the office and medical,
construction and school sup
plies that will be delivered.
Nationwide, more than
S25S.OOO was raised, CISCAP
reported.
The trucks — many of
them large panel — will
remain in El Salvador for use
by community groups.
The caravan was organized
by a coalition of groups,
including CISCAP. Pastors
for Peace, Oxfain Internation
al and dozens of others.
Harris, owner of Peralandra
Books and Music, and Bon
durant, a CISCAP volunteer,
have both traveled to Central
America but have never been
to El Salvador.
Harris said she opposes
U.S. support of the El Sal
vadoran government's mili
tary, The government and the
opposition party, the FMLN.
signed peace accords last
year after a 12-year civil war.
Harris said she wants to be a
part of the recovery process
"I'm hopeful that a society
is building that will be more
egalitarian.” Harris said,
"rather than having all the
money helong to the 14 rich
est families in that country."
Robert Bolman. CISCAF's
Eugene caravan media coor
dinator. said military aid is
still being sunt by the U.S.
administration and even
well-intentioned economic
contributions can lie misused
by the El Salvadoran govern
ment.
"The caravan offers us, as
U.S. citizens, the opportunity
to send a different kind of
aid." he said. "The projects
were chosen by the El Sal
vadoran people themselves,
so we know every dollar we
raise will contribute toward
building a new El Salvador."
