Clover forged a career out of bringing eccentric .ind quirky charac ters to the *» reen Roles in Hark to the hillin', lUvrr s Edge. Wild at Henri and What ' Eating Gilbert Grape have helped to establish Clover as a personality capable of just about anything, on sc.ream or off. One of Glover's offscreen passions involves the? "reinvention" of antique litera ture. primarily works from the 1800s From these, he takes volumes and seeks out cer tain elements whic h appeal to hint "I’ll page through them, and the words or the titles of chapters will intrigue me." Glover 'aid in a recent phone interview ".Sometime* it * the content of the hook. hut often time* it'* the way the book is bound that give* me ideas " After selecting a work that intrigues him, Crispin edit* the txjok by adding his own prose, changing the story sometimes and introdin ing photographs that support the book's theme This reconstructive process is just a part of the creative aspot t Glover pride* in having control over He supervise* each printing, which shows through the rich production value of even, hardbound copy. Of the 20 or so books he's put together. He's published three The Art of Hal Catching I toflH). whit h Glover describes as “a study in the art of nit i (itching, plus something else Oak Mi t l>r.; i w huh I*‘gins on the i it gin American prairie in lHfifl and ends up in Deutschland in 1928."a lti*o(«pk propor tions involving pride and prejttdic*> " Concrrtr Imp** turn (1492).

Clover took his show on the road, premiering it at the Olympia Film Fes tival In keeping with the unorthodox style of his creations. Clover added a twist to the program, marrying the visual and textual elements of his books "I ended up photographing the books and making it Into slide presentation because it just wouldn't work as an oral presentation," he said Closer will !«• speak in KMII Ballroom at H p m Wednesday w ith his "Big Slide Show" in tow. Tic kets are $4 for University students and $f> for non-students Forester stresses importance of conservation Tony Lystro for the C*QQar> D&*? Fftnratf From Port Orford Cedar to Hollander *. Lilly, forester and activist George Shook took his andmw e on a hiking tour of the Siskiyou forest Thursday night, introducing them to organisms indigenous to forest lands and threatened by the old-growth timber harvest Shook. V). earned his forestry degree from Syracuse University and has worked for the Forest Serve e and private corporations He's advut ated ancient forest protection for the last ten years, aligning himself with Barth First*, and more recently, with the Siskiyou Regional Education Progs t Shook s two hour slide show and lecture, sponsored by the University Outdoor Program, journeyed deep into an area devoid of roads of the Siskiyou forest, stopping along the vsav to observe lor y petches of foliage, magnifu ent cedar tn*es. flowing i reek bed*. and « red-hot pohti!al landsi ape whose conservationist and corporate protagonists continue to butt heads over "Right now, i edar is at the heart of the controversy." Shook said He said the (xxiar root systems spread laterally and grow into stream Ix-ds, forming calm-water pools vital for fish reproduction Mreok nl'li-'i !t: it ..li lt trees are sum rptiblt to a water bom pathogen called Fort Orford Coder Disease. Oiu e the pathogen enters the water table, its spores kill i edar over a ten-year period trigging roads he said, allow the disease to spread rapidly (as ause the iptaw hitch tt ride on logging equipment and settle into the water table as the machinery travels up a road However, he said the Forest Service is still intent on punching roads through the region. “The Forest Service is doing everything it can to avoid a moratorium on budding roads in the Fort Orford cedar areas." he said The Forest Service has experimented with steam cleaning logging equipment to eliminate spore* ami removing cedar trees along logging roads to prevent the spread of the pathogen But both methods. Shook said have been unsuccessful. The root systems of r edar he said, grtnv into eo< h other forming a web to pathways through which they share nutrients According to Sfiook. the Forest Service allowed the pathogen to infect the stumps and spread to other trees through the complex root system by leaving the stumps of chopped cedar trees along logging roads Shook said the Port Orford cedar is popular in |apen Iwcmise its ( ounterpart, another spas ies of cedar indigenous to that country. is prized for its religious signifu ance Hei .a use residents of japan want Port Orford i edar in their home as a status symbol. i edar lumber is worth ten times its domestic value on the jnpanese market "Congress saw fit in its infinite wisdom to consider i edar to bo surplus and exportable." Shook said. He also said those factors make i edar old-growth in the Siskiyou region vulnerable to harvesting Shook urged his audience to jump into the ring on conservation issues and to stand up against sales of timherland that is out there for everyone to enjoy Shook also for uvd on otto MH1 (ii re picrt of Siskiyou land known ns the Sugarloaf Sale. The old growth sale was the first to be enacted after President Clinton’s plan for Northwest logging went into effe< t. The Forest Service awarded the sale to the Boise (jim ade corporation in August of 1984 Shook and other critu s claim the area is a "key watershed," vital to the revitalization of salmon stocks and a habitat for cougar, blai k hear and the Northern Spotted Owl. They contend the sale should not have been allowed because the Sugarloaf area lies within an ancient furest reserve. Now Shook and the Siskiyou Education Projei t are hoping public pressure on Boise Caw ade will prevent the harvest of the Sugarloaf region. "It 's kind of a last resort thing," Shook said We've exhausted other possibilities This is what we have left. "It gives us an opportunity to really direct efforts at the corporations.” he said “Corporate power is really what these forest problems are all about.” Anti-insemination bill introduced in Oregon Legislature Ben Moebius Oa^on Lit ), t met Mil Kami!) values, a popular buzzword in national politics, is now finding its ambiguous way into Oregon's legislative arena State Rep Kev in Mannix. 11-Salem, t mated a public stir and a wove of response through the media with a rec ent hill lie introduced last Week The hill would make it illegal for on unmarried woman to he artificially inseminated in Oregon Mannix. who distant od himself from the c onservative Oregon Citizens Alliance, used a popular OCA catchword to defend his newest bill "I'm not casting stones with this hill," he said "The (X'.A tends to bag things together and lash out at groups I just want to support the traditional family values of our nation " Mannix said the state should work to affirm those values that seem most productive and healthy "It’s best for the child that it la* raised in a safe, sec ure environment." Mannix said Single motherhood and gay parenthood are unsafe lifestyles. m ( ording to Mannix Currently, married women who are riiHt tally inseminated must get the consent of their husbands, but unmarried women are not required to have anyone’s consent There ■lie also mi law. in Oregon prohibiting adoption by single parents or homosexuals Mannix has also lalroduuni two other lulls One would prohibit surrogate motherhood control ts and the other would declare legal marriage between a man and a woman a spec tal relationship that should be favored and supported hy the state Mannix said -t) to 30 other states hast* prohibited surrogate motherhood because it tends to have dramatic negative effects on the surrogate mother. Mannix admitted his hills do not have much chance of being passed, but said the role of government on moral issues should he to affirm those ideals it approves. Opponents of the hills contest Manmx s view of government involvement House representative Lisa Naito, D-Portland, said the kind of debit!!1 Mannix has created is counterproductive and off track. “lot's not talk about labeling." Naito said "That is not our rule The healthy way to focus on family values is to value families."' Naito said government should be discussing issues like poverty and homelessness She s<iid homosexual parenting and artifil ial insemination do not lead to neglected or abuaed children. "You can't match up labels of sexual orientation and abuse," she said. Dominick Vetri, « law school professor at the University, said the government is involved with main laws that relate to family issues, hut that government should never assert a moral position because of religious values "We have lots of Ians about marriage and how property should he divided after divorce." Vetri said "Those are necessary laws But the structure of the family should never lie determined by government." r $1.50 OFF YOUR 2ND FOOTNOTES SUBSCRIPTION L valid .it turn- of purchase only at footnotes one coupon per customer expires March 10, 1W serving UO students since 1967...
