It was one generation vs. another Friday
afternoon.
A candidate forum sponsored by Senior
& Disabled services, OASIS Education Cen
ter and the American Association of Retired
Persons became the scene of a debate Fri
day over funding priorities in State Legisla
ture.
Eight state Senate and House candidates
participated in the forum, including De
mocrats Susan Castillo (representing Sen
ate District 20), Kitty Piercy (House District
39), Floyd Prozanski (House District 40)
and Vicki Walker ( House District 41). Rep
resenting the Republicans were Scott
Austin (Senate District 20), James Seaberry
(House District 39), John Pearson (House
District 40) and Norm Fox (House District
41).
Twenty-six of the 31 people who attend
ed the forum were senior citizens, and se
nior issues dominated the discussion.
However, discussion about limited mon
ey in the state budget to fund senior ser
vices brought up the issue of legislative pri
orities. That sparked a debate over the
needs of public education compared with

It’s not a bird or a plane, it’s
Green Boy — a flash of bright
green spandex in the stands at a
football game. Darren Fabre
may be one of the most enthusi
astic Duck fans ever, and he
wears his colors with pride
while he riles the crowds at
football, basketball and soccer
games.
Duck fans can’t miss him as
he walks through the stadium
in a full-body green spandex
suit and a cape, slapping high
fives to Duck fans.
“I’ve had to deal with pretty
full-fledged insults from OSU,
but they’ve got nothing better to
do than insult somebody be
cause their team sucks,” Fabr6
said.
Green Boy swears he is more
pro-Duck than anti-opponent.
He works the crowds at Autzen
Stadium and McArthur Court
to get fans on their feet. Stu
dents might find him chanting
“fearless Fletcher” near the 20

Ballot Measure 63 aims
to restrict supermajority
Supporters hope to
circumvent attempts
to put supermajority
on the lawbooks
By Mirjam Swanson

In an effort to curtail Repub
lican gubernatorial candidate
Bill Sizemore’s supermajority
proposal that will appear on
the 2000 ballot, his opponents
have developed state Ballot
Measure 63.
Sizemore’s future measure
would propose a two-thirds
voter approval of any new or
increased tax above the rate of
inflation.
In effect. Measure 63 is a di
rect attempt to halt Sizemore's
initiative before it appears on
the ballot. If it passes Nov. 3,
Measure 63 would require any
initiative that seeks a super
majority to be subjected to the
same supermajority.
“The reason that Measure 63
exists is Bill Sizemore,” said
