March Continued from Page 1A by the male volunteers of the Port land Women’s Crisis Line. David Hayward, an organizer of the workshop, stressed the need for males to discuss such topics. “This is a male problem. We are the one’s responsible for this event needing to take place.” “Ideally, this event should not have to take place,” Hayward added. Juleah Huckstep spoke about sexual assault and how children need to be educated about sexual crimes to arm themselves against such acts occurring. Huckstep, who is physically disabled, spoke of how mentally and physically disabled children are even more at risk, because society does not consider them sexual. Huckstep ended her speech by saying, “and remember who perpetrators target — all of us.” A speech by Sandra Spoor gen erated a loud response from the crowd. Spoor is one of the women from the planning, public policy and management class that was threatened by e-mail, spurring the sit-in at Johnson Hall Monday. “He told me to shut the f-ck up,” said Spoor, a junior majoring in PPPM. “Well, I wasn’t quiet then and I am not going to be quiet now,” she said to thunderous applause.

Telsey became interested in self-defense when she learned karate in the ’70s, saying this was the first time she felt power. Telsey closed her speech with a wish, “Perhaps patriarchy and vi olence are inevitable, but it is not inevitable in the world I want to live in.” After the speakers finished , the crowd began the march, weaving through the streets, candles in hand, chanting, “Women unite, take back the night,” and many other expressions.

RA Number_ L J River Walk to support victims, survivors of HIV By Amy Jennaro Oregon Daily Emerald For every year since 1996, members of the University’s Delta Lambda Phi fraternity have offered support to people participating in the River Walk sponsored by the HIV Alliance. “We want to help the cause in our own way,” said Adam Lut zow, president of the fraternity. Members serve water and act as route monitors for the event. The walk, which was estab lished 13 years ago, is orga nized annually by the Alliance. Participants are required to get sponsors for the walk and all proceeds generated go to the Alliance’s programs, which provide support for people liv ing with HIV. This year the walk will take place at Alton Baker Park at 10 a.m. Participants have the op tion of participating in either the 21/2 or 41/2 mile version of 4 the walk. After completing the walk, participants will be enter tained by the Kwayedza, a local Marimba band, said Darnell Mandelblatt, development di rector of the HIV Alliance. According to Mandelblatt, participants are encouraged to dedicate their walk to people living with HIV. She added that those who dedicate their walk will wear ribbons stating their special intentions and those ribbons will later be dis played for the public at Alton Baker Park. “This is a community effort to make people think about HIV,” she said. Mandelblatt said 300 people are expected to participate in the event, including many groups from the University. Members of Hillel and the Newman Center, the Campus’ Catholic ministry, are planning to participate in the walk, she said. “We get a lot of support from the community,” Mandelblatt said. Stefani Catone, pastoral as sociate for the Newman Center, said she felt it was her duty to provide support for people liv ing with HTV. “This is very much a sign of my faith because my faith teaches me to help people,” she said. Mandelblatt said many com panies also decided to partici pate. Companies such as Sony, Saturn and Dynamix have agreed to sponsor the event, as well as many local businesses, she said. Although many of the com panies won’t be participating in the walk, they have provided aid such as cash donations and advertising support, she said. “Corporate sponsors and businesses have supported the walk from the beginning,” she said. According to Mandelblatt, the cash goal for this year’s walk is $23,000 . She said the goal shouldn’t be difficult to reach in view of last year’s walk, which raised $20,000, an all-time high. “I’m anticipating a big crowd,” she said. “We feel the need to show support for victims and sur vivors of HIV and AIDS,” he said. “It’s an ongoing battle.” LAZAR'S BAZAR • 57 W.
