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.

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.”
