CARA STRAZZO/Emerald
Park: City to continue funding
■ Continued tram Page 1A
“It will be a straightforward, hard
look at where the Riverfront Re
search Park is headed and if contin
uation is good for the University.
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.”
