The petition filed by Judah Eckenberg more narrowly attacked the Miner and Unger campaign for violating postering rules. His petition also questioned the Elec tions Board’s interpretation of rules. During an informal hearing last Thursday night, the Elections Board countered Eck enberg’s arguments by saying they asked the Constitution Court for a Hearings Offi cer, but one was never appointed. The Elec tions Board said they decided to err on the side of doing something about violations, rather than allowing violations to continue. The other petition was filed by Farrah Bostic and Chris Kantrowitz. Kantrowitz said their petition proved a long line of mis deeds and wrong interpretations, rather than one specific misdeed. “Since the elections must be held by May 1, they had to lift the injunction,” Bostic said. “I think we’ll see some explicit in structions to the Elections Board for dealing with violations. Hopefully, a Hearings Offi cer will be appointed, the petitions re viewed and, if necessary, punishments handed out. If that means holding a special election for the Executive later, than so be it.” The Constitution Court has ten days to file a decision on the petitions.

Dave Poppe of the department of public safety. A large number of University students report thefts, which rais es the city-wide crime statistics in that subset, though the Universi ty doesn’t significantly affect the overall crime level in Eugene, Poppe said. The auto theft rate was ex tremely high toward the end of the year and climbed 15 percent overall to total 766 reported of fenses. A task force was estab lished through the department of public safety on Jan. 13 in an at tempt to curb this problem. The task force reduced the number of offenses by 50 percent and made 37 arrests, according the public safety report. The number of property crimes — burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, criminal mischief, forgery, fraud, embezzlement, stolen property — has also risen 3.8 percent since 1995 and person crimes — homicide, rape, aggra vated assault, purse snatch, sim pie assault, sex offense, kidnap ping. blackmail, extortion — are up 3.4 percent. Forcible rapes increased by more than 27 percent since 1995, from 36 to 46 offenses. The num ber of arrests made in forcible rape offenses, however, is up 100 percent. More people are reporting rapes than in the past because of community preventative mea sures, but the actual change in the number of incidents is unclear, Power said.
