Poppe: Drug dealing also a factor

many people,” he said. “Unfortu
nately, it also means that law
breakers are taking greater efforts
to disguise the location where
they’re going to party and to cam
ouflage what they are doing.”
Poppe said adding more offi
cers to the campus-area beat
would help, but it isn’t going to
solve the problem.
“We can enforce the laws more
effectively and safely with more
officers,” he said. “So I advocate
we have an increase to a certain
degree, but we won’t stop [the
problem],
“As long as people, especially
non-students, look at this partic
ular area as a place to come to
raise hell, we won’t stop it.”
Poppe has been involved with
the University’s fraternities and
sororities, instructing members
that they need to be in control of
what happens on their property.
Poppe said he has encouraged
Greek Life officials to designate
people in advance to make rea
sonable attempts at solving their

how they are going to

own problems before the police
ever get involved.
“They have to set some expec
tations within their own house as
to what is going to be tolerated
and how they are going to deal
with problems, such as noisy
party situations when the cops
are knocking on the door,” he
said.
Another problem Poppe sees is
that Eugene police receive many
anonymous calls reporting vari
ous crimes. He feels these people
do not want to identify them
selves because of safety. But
Poppe said identification usually
results in better law enforcement.
Without identification, police
officers are unable to get com
plete details from the callers or
use them as crime witnesses, he
said.
Poppe said drug dealing and
drug use have increased in the
West University area, which also
contributes to problems with
loud parties, riots and other situ
ations.
“I believe a number of the
thefts of bicycles and cars that get
broken into relate to the drug ac
tivity in this area."
Poppe said drug dealing tends
to take place at all hours of the
day, which inhibits law enforce
ment. The police, however, have
seen success in displacement of
the drug problem to the west,
moving away from the Universi
ty area.
A West University problem
solving session will take place
tonight at 7 p.m. in the Grace
Lutheran Church, 710 E. 17th
Ave., to continue discussion of
the problem.

Senate Briefs
Class-credit motion
sent to committee
The University Senate voted
Wednesday to send a motion
back to committee that would
prohibit students from dou
bling up on group and degree
requirements.
The motion was originally
presented to the Senate at its
Oct. 8 meeting, where it was
sent back to committee for fur
ther clarification.
The classes students use to
satisfy bachelor’s degree re
quirements can also be used to
satisfy the arts and letters or sci
ence group requirements. The
motion, presented by the Un
dergraduate Education Policy
Coordinating Council, would
make students satisfy those
group requirements without
using the same classes to satisfy
the degree requirements.
According to the council, the
idea behind the motion is to re
instate “the reality ofbreadth in
[the University’s] general edu
cation group requirement. ”
Many students, however, feel
the additional 16 credits neces
sary to fulfill the requirement
would create a heavier work
load and prolong graduation.
"We're all here for an educa
tion ... this just makes it more
difficult,” Student Senator
Tamir Kreigel said. "How much
more do you want to impose on
us? Have faith in us. High school
is for imposing on us; college is
about giving us freedom. ”
Art history Professor and Uni
versity Senator Jeff Hurwit called
the motion a philosophical issue.
“This is about whether or not
we expect our students to have
a certain breadth of exposure to
three great areas of concern,” he
said.
The Student Senate passed a
motion against the council’s
motion, and the ASUO collect
ed 166 student signatures
against the motion.
“Overwhelmingly, we are re
ceiving the message that students
don’t support this,” Student Sen
ator Michael Olson said.
