protection."
Uzi Halimun. on Indonesian
student, said it was necessary for
the government as well ns people
to focus more on broader issues
than just gun-control.
"The society itself needs to
change," Halimun said "Amer
icans need to think why people
are so afraid that they feel they
should get and keep guns Why
do they have to take up guns and
use them to solve problems with
out using any alternatives?
Imposing tougher gun-control
laws or putting more policemen
oil the stns-ts is not going to make
any positive results.
"Even if there will lie stricter
gun-control laws, the government
should think about how to
implement those measures
Politicians can't just set up laws
to restrii t circulation of guns
among people who are scared of
their violent environment while
real thugs and bandits an* able to
get guns from bint k market I he\
should attack against a real
source of gun proliferation." I lal
imun said
Watanabe agreed with
Fukukawa and Halimun in thnl
gun-control would not bo the
only solution to prevent tragic
incident* like Hattori’s She said
foreign students should think
about their own attitude toward
American society.
"We international students
must bo aware that there is a dif
femnt reality in another country."
Watanabe said "That's a grave
mistake to think this’ is never
going to happen to me bocauso it
has actually never happened to
me in my country "
Watanabe also said it was nec
essary to raise awareness about
gun-control among [wople in gen

list price.
Responding to the claim that Smith’s soils its boohs for loss,
Standish said. "Differences go further than price."
As a non profit organization, the University Bookstore pro
vides for the materials that the University staff and faculty
request.
"If the instructors want it. we try to get it." Standish said
Stand ish said the University Bookstore will provide copies
of course books free of charge if none are available
Standish said the University Bookstore operates philosoph
ic,ally like a cooperative in the way it serves the University The
money made on the sole of "non-necessary items' such as sweat
shirts and gift items enables the bookstore to keep (profit) mar
gins os low as possible on books and educationally related items,
he said.
Standish said good service is important to students. In addi
tion to his department's four full-time and two part-time employ
ees. the bookstore trains and hires 40 to 50 students to be
cashiers during a "rush" (the weeks Indore and after classes
begin) to process students quickly. The bookstore also buys
Irooks on campus during buy-back, he said.
As a for-profit corporation. Smith's pays taxes on income and
property.
)im Williams, manager of Iho University Bookstore, said
the University store pays property tax and income tax on its
sales to non-members.
Williams said comparing the University Bookstore to Smith's
is difficult and in some ways unfair — they are both so differ
ent.
“A lietter comparison would lie between the UO Bookstore
and another university bookstore,” said Williams, adding that
in that comparison, the University Bookstore does very well.
Holly Bullock did not find that comparison consoling. She
still has her SfiO book.

Workshop deals with women’s conditions
By Marius Meland
O«90n It V fmeoeo
A statewide workshop dealing
with women's i ondilions around
the world will take place at the
University Sunday
The participants will discuss
issues such as education, health,
employment, political participa
tion and tlu* environment.
Although women's (onditions
have improved, there is still a
great deal of inequality Is-tween
the sexes throughout the world.
Illiteracy rates for women an- still
much higher for young women
than for men. and job segregation
and wage dis< rimination persist
almost everywhere, at cording to
a report issued by the United
Nations
These are pist some of the
issues that will be addressed in
the workshop, w hich is offered
free of charge.
"This is one of many work
shops that are taking place on
campuses across the nation to
prepare lor the fourth World Con
ference for Women in Beijing.
China, in 1905," Anita Weiss
said.
Weiss, nn associate professor
with the international studies
department, is in charge of the
workshop.
"We re really ext itod uIkhiI tins
workshop." Weiss said More
than 100 persons have already
preregistered We've made sure
that the participants will repre
sent a wide specter of back
grounds Many of them come
from universities across the state,
but we'll also host people from
community groups that have
been working with specific
issues."
In addition to advertising in the
Oregonian and the Hegtstei
Guard, the committee has put up
posters in bookstores, women's
health clinics and other commu
nity buildings
Weiss also emphasized that
men have been invited to regis
ter for the workshop.
"It's important for men to be
aware that women's empower
ment means everybody's empow
erment," she said.
After a plenary session with
three guest speakers, the partic
ipants will divide themselves
into six groups that will discuss
sjxtcifit: issues related to women's
conditions around the world. In
the afternoon the plenary session
will reassemble, and each group
will present its suggestions.
"The participants are free to
choose their own group, based on
their area of interest." Weiss said.
"Many people have already
signed up for specific groups, but
they're free to switch to another
group if they change their minds.
1 want to emphasize that you
don't have to he an ex|>ert on the
field that you sign up for. The
workshops will meet in an infor
mal setting, and there will be an
open discussion that everybody
can participate in.”
The guest s|*eakers at the work
shop include Irene Tinker, dire< -
tor of women's studies at the
University of California. Berke
ley; Susan Tiano, director of
women's studies at the Univer
sity of New Mexico; and Kathleen
Sadat, a Portland-based commu
nity activist
