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.

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.

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.
