By Donovan Deia Cruz

"Save the spotted owl!"
Rix vrle'"
"ConMne water'"
"Prolix t the ozone layer!"
Activists are always shouting
for specifii environmental and
wildlife causes which they feel
the public needs to be aware of
and get involved with Little do
these ai tivists know that all of
their causes whir h affix t every -
one globally are symptoms of one
major dilemma overpopulation
A population explosion has
on urred In 1810 there was a
global population of 1 billion
people In 1*187. Earth's popula
tion ini teased to 5 billion and it
is estimated that in »<i years or
less, the I arth w ill double its
population
Five 1 Idiversity students • Jody
Bluish, Ricardo Davico. Sarah
Icyorraph. I -lla Reeve* and Tara
bullion - condui tod a local study
on the population crisis for their
m^uyational studies class and
found that overpopulation is the
cause of the "environmental
degradation of our planet "
"People need to realize that
there is a problem with popula
tion control in the United States,
not just in India and China."
Bluish said "Lugano s popula
tion is expei ted to reach 1 mil
lion people within 75 years "
Hie students Ixxjime involved
with the notional organization
Zero Population Growth a* part
of their study Based in Wash
ington. DC. ZPG promotes
maintaining population growth
and has boon focusing on educa
tion and research sinc e it was
‘People need to
realize that there is
a problem with
population control
in the United
States, not just in
India or China.’
Jody Bleish,
University student
founded in 1 9BH
Bleish. the group loader, said
that overpopulation has led to
Overconsumption. The United
States alone consumes 2.r> per
cent of the Karth's energies and
natural resources Bleish said
their study showed that 1 1 per
cent of those surveyed knew
that the United States was the
number one consumer of global
resourt es.
"One American consumes the
same amount of onergv as three
Japanese, six Mexii aus. 12 Chi
nese. 3.1 Indians. M7
Bangladeshis. 2H1 Tanzanians
or 422 Ethiopian*, stated East
The Squeeze, a 7JPC publication
An trading to another Vi\', pub*
luation, if tln> population increas
es as expel ted, the world will
ha\i' very few resourr es left for
future generations Tin* Earth is
slowly dying and our t« osvstem
is vanishing. Food and water
shortages are already beginning
to occur, natural resources are
becoming polluted, wildlife is
threatened by extinction and
global wanning has liegun.
In the group's survey, con
dtu ted in front of the t biiversitv
Bookstore, a participant felt that
the reason why the world was
overpopulated was because "|n*o
ple like to have sex "
Bluish responded hy saying
that "the sexual appetite of peo
ple should not affect overpopu
lation because as long as
contraceptives are used, humans
cannot procreate."
The group suggests that
wealthy nations reduce their lev
el of wealth so other cou-ntries
can have a better standard of liv
ing.
Bleish and his group have four
recommendations for the coun
try in order to extend the use of
natural resources: reduce depen
dency on fossil fuels, create sus
tainable agriculture, start losing
the battle against pests and
weeds, and use only what you
need.
FRATERNITY

with them." sh*» said.
Green said the University in thu past has
imposed other sane lions in a effort to deter the fra
ternity from violating the conduct code These
sanctions im luded community service, educa
tional programs, fines by the Inlerfratemity Coun
cil and the loss of social privileges
After consulting vsith the other members of the
fraternity, Brooks was ready to agree to the nego
tintion and called Green on May 23 to inform her
of the fact She returned his e-all on May 24 to tell
him that the offer no longer stood
"I informed him that I was withdrawing the offer
because of a police report that came across my
desk, due to a noise violation that wee kend,"
Green said An offic er of the fraternity was also
cited as a minor in possession of alcohol and for
providing a polic e officer with false* information,
she said
"It said to me that the problem was not solved,
and 1 had reason to believe that they have* not
taken proper steps to conform their behavior to
community expectations." Green said "1 don't
have an obligation to plea bargain "
"As of 1 1 40 p m on the 21st, they knew they
had another problem." she said "My assumption
is that probably they had hoped to lx*at me to it."
she said m reference to the fact that the addition
al citations surfaced on her desk.
lames Britt, student defender supervisor for the
Office of Student Advocacy, said his understand
ing is that the fraternity can choose to proceed for
mally or informally with the charges.
"To he quite honest. I don't know if the rules give
(Green) the authority to make that judgment call,”
he said
Britt tried unsui < essfully to negotiate with the
hearings of fit er to extend the date of the trial so the
fraternity i ould seek representation.
I think the Basis of the charges were question*
aide at Imst. meaning I don't think they had a good
> ase, Britt said in reference to the University.
The most gaping hole in the case, Britt said, was
the charge of minor cited with possession of alco
hol as the student later recanted his story, stating
that lie did not get the alcohol from the fraternity
Also, tfie police report from Officer Jack Fitz
patru k. the hugene police officer assigned to cam
pus detail, did not coincide with the report given
by his partner
According to Britt. Fitzpatrick said he saw many
minors with open containers, hut his partner did
not.
I ve been in i untested cases before and ! don't
find (Fitzpatrii k) to be credible," Britt said. "I think
that he has a personal vendetta against the greek
s\ stem I think his purpose in life is to get them."
LECTURE

six condensed books," deals
with topics ranging from Frvudi
anism to lies in advertising.
Steinem criticized many of
Freud's idoas, including the Oodi
pus complex and his dogma that
"anatomy is destiny."
"Freud says that young boys
desire their mothers and young
girls desire their fathers, and that
they're envious of the same-sex
parent. And that s what he c alls
normal." Steinem said, produc -
ing a roaring laughter among the
audience.
Dispelling the myth of the
"humorless" feminist. Steinem

humorous anecdotes. "They say
that progress is nothing but the
triumph of laughter over dogma,"

Steinem. foundur and long
time editor of Ms magazine, crit
icized the image of women
projected by mainstream
women's magazines
"When women open those
magazines and see the oceans of
copy about beauty and fashion,
they don't recognize them selves,“
she said. "It's important that
women realize that they're not
strange for not identifying with
those magazines They're not cre
ated to give the readers what they
want, hut to give the advertisers
what they want."
Obviously popular among the
audience, she received a stand
ing ovation when she entered the
stage, and her speech was con
tinually interrupted by enthusi
astic applause. Although many
members of the audience
belonged to Steinem s own gen
eration. a great portion of those
attending were students, carry

“She's an amazing woman,"
said Sara Huntington, a freshman
who calls herself a feminist.
After seeing her, I'm not afraid
of gutting older."
I here were many men among
the audience as well. "She’s an
inspiring lecturer. I'm really glad
I came here today." said Sean
Martin, a sophomore in political
science who was encouraged by
a teacher to go.
When asked what her advice
would be for young women in
college today, Steinem replied,
"Dream the biggest dreams, lis
ten to your inner voice, keep
friends who share your dreams,
and remember: you have to
change the system to fit people,
not the other way around."
