Activist sets self on fire
as ‘torch for liberty’
■ SUICIDE: Few students
know what Kathy Change’s
final message was
By Michael Raphael
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — For years,
Kathy Change tried to bring atten
tion to her message of world peace
by dressing in tight T-shirts and
thong bikinis, waving flags and
playing music around the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania campus.
No one seemed to listen.
On Tuesday, the students
couldn’t help but notice.
On that day, 46-year-old
Change calmly walked to a large
metallic peace symbol in the heart
of the campus, doused herself
with gasoline and set herself on
fire.
The suicide, carried out in front
of 50 people, was meticulously
planned as a final, last-gasp at
tempt to draw attention to her be
liefs.
“My real intention is to spark a
discussion of how we can peace
fully transform our world,”
Change wrote in a statement she
delivered to students beforehand.
“I offer myself as an alarm against
Armageddon and a torch for liber
ty-”
Students, who for years had
walked by her with indifference
or vague unease as she ranted on,
couldn’t stop talking Wednesday
about her spectacular suicide.
They remembered little of her
message, though.
"It's a tragedy,” said Justin Pier
gross, 22, as he sat a few feet from
the shiny peace sculpture. "I
think a lot of people just didn’t
give her any respect because) sire
was a bit different.”
To 21-vear-old Kate Saliba, a
Penn junior, the almost daily per
formances were like a “show.”
“People would be sitting by the li
brary and just cringe,” she said.
“What was she against? Every
thing,” said Kyle Bartlett, 24, a
graduate student from Little Rock,
•Ark. “Destruction of the rain for
est. Government with a capital G.”
Throughout the morning, peo
pie made their way across the Col
lege Green and paused before a
shrine of sunflowers, purple
lilies, burning candles and col
ored beads left at the 15-foot-high
peace sign along with a balloon
with the message: “In memory of
one who lived and died in pain.”
Change was something of a
mystery. About the only thing
anyone knew about her is that she
listed an address in the city’s de
pressed Powelton section in West
Philadelphia and that police said
she was from Springfield, Ohio.
It wasn’t clear how she support
ed herself or whether she had any
family, though in a radio inter
view she once said that her father
was an engineer and her grandfa
ther a Harvard professor.
She had no connection to Penn.
The extent of her education was
unknown. But Brendan McGeev
er, a student who interviewed
Change recently on his campus
radio show, said: “When you
talked to her she was just so artic
ulate and normal. She could be a
professor, a grad student.”
A woman who only gave her
first name, Jessie, stood with tears
in her eyes at the makeshift
shrine. She said she had lived
near Change for 17 years.
“I’m going through feelings like
I could have prevented some
thing,” she said. “She was a very
cheerful, very friendly, very love
ly woman.”
Change, who changed her
name from Chang to reflect her
commitment, danced and dis
played flags for 15 years to pro
mote her belief in a “Transforma
tion” —- a crash of the world
: economy-that would,-foi&e. every
one to come together to work out
an answer.
A year ago, fliers announcing
Change’s impending self-immola
tion began circulating among the
tight family of protesters in West
Philadelphia.
"We can all kind of take the
blame for this together,” McGeev
er said. “She saw this as a neces
sary step because she had ex
hausted the other avenues.”
Lottery officials will consider
adding video slot machines
■ GAMBLING: Bar owners
ask for the new games to help
compete with casinos
The Associated Press
SALEM — The state lottery
during the next year will consid
er adding slot machine-type
games to its video terminals, a
move bar owners are pushing for
because of competition from In
dian casinos.
Lottery Director Chris Lyons
said the lottery commission de
layed taking up of the subject of
so-called line games until a gov
ernor’s task force finished its
study of gambling in the state.
The study was completed last
month. The issue of new games
now will be considered, but a
year of hearings and commission
meetings will be needed before
the panel makes a decision,
Lyons said Tuesday.
A longtime lottery opponent,
Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon,
does not like the idea of more
games.
“It would expand the numbers
of people participating, and the
numbers addicted to gambling,”
said Ellen Lowe, a Ecumenical
Ministries lobbyist who served
on the governor’s task force.
Gov. John Kitzhaber said when
he took office last year he wanted
a cautious approach to any lot
tery expansion, and the task force
urged the same. But the rapid de
velopment of Indian casinos in
the state has made tavern and bar
owners anxious to expand video
lottery games.
“They told us to wait for the
task force report. Now it’s done,
but the governor still wants to
drag his feet,’’ said Mike McCal
lum, executive director of the
Oregon Restaurant Association.
The organization represents
about half the bars and taverns in
the state that offer video poker.
Indian casinos give a large
amount of their floor space to the
popular line games, so named be
cause they pay off when symbols
line up in a row.
Salem tavern operator John
Ross estimated he has lost 25 per
cent of his lottery business since
the casinos opened.
Though some customers may
return to his tavern, he said, the
“big players are all gone. They
went to the casinos.”
