Malt Garton/Emenald Dave Hubin, executive assistant to the president, confronts the group of University students gathered at Johnson Hall during a demonstration that eventually forced its way to the communications office to meet with University Vice Provost Tom Dyke. Students protest at Johnson Hall Students demanded University officials reinstate Sarah Brown to animal care and research committee By James Scripps Oregon Daily Emerald What started as a demonstration on the steps of Johnson Hall Wednesday ended as a frustrated exchange between students and ad ministration officials outside of University Vice Provost of Re search Tom Dyke’s office. Members of Students for the Eth ical Treatment of Animals, with the cooperation of the ASUO, orga nized a rally to demand that Uni versity officials reinstate student Sarah Brown to a seat on the Institu tional Animal Care and Use Com mittee. IACUC helps determine and rec ommend policies for animal re search on the University campus. The committee includes adminis trators and research faculty. In a 1998 University report sub mitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 33,625 animals are currently used in scientific studies on campus. Brown believes she didn’t re ceive final approval to remain on the committee because of her posi tion as co-coordinator of SETA. She applied for the student position on the IACUC last spring. About 20 students rallied in Johnson Hall to pressure Dyke to add Brown to the committee. Dyke said he would meet with a couple members of the protest crowd, but he refused to meet with the entire crowd in the Johnson Hall lobby. Turn to PROTEST, Page 6 This Morning makes its Eugene debut Oregonians will find there’s more to ‘This Morning'” when they tune into CBS and see local characters in promotions By Felicity Ayles Oregon Daily Emerald Looking into a CBS News camera lens, the dean of the journalism school, Tim Gleason, prepared the University for its debut appear ance on CBS This Morning. “The School of [ournalism and Commu nication at the University of Oregon in Eu gene gives students the opportunity for high quality education while enjoying a wonder fid quality of life,” Gleason said. "If you want quality when you wake up, turn to CBS and you'll find there’s more to ‘This Morning.’” CBS News Producer Hal Glicksman came to Eugene yesterday morning to film bumper promotions for CBS This Morning, the net work’s daily morning show, including three promotions at the University. These promotions are used to separate dif ferent parts of the program, Glicksman said. These particular bumpers will be used to separate local and national commercials. He planned to shoot 12 spots Wednesday, after filming the Eugene opera and sympho ny Tuesday night. Glicksman will continue through the Northwest, in Portland today and Seattle on Friday. “The idea behind the promotions is to find people and relate something they do to CBS,” Glicksman said. That way, it’s a good promotion for both the network and the city involved, he said. Wednesday morning, Glicksman filmed Olympic silver medalist and University stu dent Lance Deal at Hayward Field, and then the women’s volleyball team in McArthur Court. Glicksman said the people being filmed Turn to CBS, Page 4 African Americans share stories about growing up in Eugene rive residents discussed their lives as minorities in the early days of Eugene on Wednesday By Sarah Skidmore Oregon Daily Emerald Aunt, uncle, brother and sister were loose terms in the small black commu nity of Eugene in the 1940s. At that time, every black person living in Eu gene was considered family. “I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and if you asked me about the Negro experi ence of the time, I don’t know what you are talking about. But I can tell you about my experience at West 11th because that is what I grew up know ing," said Ernestine Broadus, a long time Eugene resident. Broadus and four other residents re called their disconnected existence as African Americans in the early days of Eugene at a panel discussion, “Africans Americans in Oregon: The Eugene Experience” on Wednesday night in 100 Willamette Hall. “It is a shock to know there were blacks during that time here,” said Amber Boyd, University freshman. More than 150 faculty, students and community members filled the lecture hall to hear these living historians re count their stories. “There is actually a very rich history of African Americans in a state that has not always been welcoming to non-whites,” said Carla Gary, panel moderator and director of the Univer sity Office of Multicultural Affairs. The experience as African-Ameri cans took on drastically different dy namics for this group isolated in Eu gene. “No, 1 did not live the horror of the fire hoses and the dogs and the electri cal prods, but I felt the pain.” said Lyl lye Parker, the first black born in a hos pital in Eugene. Charles Dalton, community activist, said Eugene was about ten to twenty years behind the rest of the nation when he arrived here in 1975. “To this day there are still things you can do and be the first black man," Dalton said. Gary described the panelists as "bridge builders” who made Eugene livable rather than cold and lonely. Dalton helped form the Eugene chapter of the NAACP. Willie Mimms’ family established a hotel for black travelers who were not allowed to stay in traditional hotels. Professor Larry Carter served on several civil rights programs. Ernestine Broadus has nev er lived out of Oregon for more than three months. Parker, even as a child, worked to help open doors for em ployment and housing for blacks. “I’m walking away with a lot of mo tivation and a lot of role models,” said Jeanice Chienga, University freshman. Matt Hankins/Emerald Willie Mims, a Eugene resident, and Carla Gary, director of UO office of multicultural affairs, spoke on Wednesday’s panel. u I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and if you asked me about the Negro experience of the time, / don't know what you are talking about. ” Ernestine Broadus Eugene resident
