Whether people are supporters of the park or not, I think (the commit tee) is a really good thing for the University community.” The park’s layout calls for 15 buildings and 1.2 million square feet of development on state owned land nestled between the University and the Willamette River. Research-related tenants who could make use of student and faculty expertise are also in cluded in the plan. The park cur rently is home to two buildings, with a third building under con struction. Although the committee has only met three times and a regular meeting schedule has yet to be es tablished, Paris said committee members might break up into sep arate work groups to discuss de sign, land-use and governance is sues. She added that committee members will also attempt to elic it e-mail input from the Universi ty community, as well as host a public forum to discuss the park later this month. In addition to Frohnmayer forming the committee, the City Council voted last month to con tinue directing scaled-back urban renewal funds toward the district that encompasses the park. The area is one of two urban renewal districts designated by the city. The decision proved to be im portant for the park, as the coun cil was faced with the option of terminating the district. In a 5-3 vote, council members agreed to extend a base level of ur ban renewal funding to the dis trict that encompasses the park. The funding will continue through the year 2005 to subsi dize infrastructure costs and im provements to the park, said Riverfront Research Park manag er Diane Wiley. However, the lO-ysar mark for the park's layout has not come without challenges. Junior Robertson, a long-time research park opponent, along with a citizens’ committee, has filed a series of potential ballot initiatives with the city recorder's office that would limit further re search park construction. Al though the office has denied all of the initiatives Daliot access, Robertson said the .ommittee is prepared le similar initiatives in the future While lii Li icii voted to con tinue ur . newal funding for the park joertson said he is op timistu lis committee’s next ini tiative will gain ballot access. But he said he would prefer to see construction come to a halt with out such an initiative. “If it is possible to remove [con struction within the research park] without an initiative — the better,” he said. “I predict the re search park will not expand.” Month: Assault is a ‘major epidemic’ • Continued from Paget A said Linda Hoover, survivor advo cate for the Office of Student Life. Hoover is helping coordinate the many groups involved with Sexu al Assault Awareness Month. The “3-D” luncheon series — drinks, desserts and discussions — will address issues related to as sault. On Tuesday, May 5, Robin Holmes will present “Race and Rape” at 11:30 a.m. in the EMU Ben Linder Room. Luncheon top ics also include “Men Care, but What Can We Do?” at 11:30 a.m. May 12 in the Ben Linder Room; “Activism and the Anti-violence Movement” at noon May 20 in the EMU Fir Room; and “Moving On” at 11:30 a.m. May 26 in the Ben Linder Room. A self-defense workshop titled “Self-defense from the Inside Out” will educate women on the basics of awareness, assertiveness and physical escape skills. The workshop will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 13, in the Car son Gold Room. Awareness workshops such as these are important, especially in the University setting, McCravy said. "You have lots of people who come from a safe environment and don't realize that sexual offenders prey on college students,” she said. The prevalence of alcohol also makes a university a danger ous place, she said. “Offenders don’t have to look far to find someone passed out on a couch,” she said. SASS tracks the number of times a crisis caller identifies himself or herself as a University student. In 1996-97, the office received 977 calls from students and 15 from University faculty or staff. SASS counts by call, not by person. “The University has to face re ality: Date rapes occur with alarm ing frequency,” Hoover said. She said that while her office recorded only 17 unofficial incident reports on sexual assault for 1996-97, ac curate assessments are difficult to make. SASS estimates only one in 20 to 50 of those assaulted call a crisis line or report it. The campus group Greeks Against Rape is involved with this month’s events, including making supportive banners for Take Back the Night. Jeff Hotchkiss, director of the group, said men’s involve ment in the issue of assault is cru cial. “There's a need to educate more men,” he said. “There are some people who don’t want to do bad things; they just don’t know any better.” Hotchkiss said the group is planning anti-rape seminars. Jack Stratton will lead a work shop on “The Role Men Play in Ending Sexual Violence” at 9 p.m. May 21 in the Ben Linder Room. McCravy said the most impor tant goal of the month is to stress that sexual assault is a major epi demic in society. “When you think of the statis tics and plug it in to all the people you know, you realize that it doesn’t just affect other people.” Emerald The Oregon Daily Emerald is published daily Monday through Friday during the school year and Tuesday and Thursday during the summer by the Oregon Daily Emerald Publishing Co.
