WRC support
continued from page 1
she said.
One part of the WRC’s vision is
to make available to consumers in
formation about working condi
tions in factories that produce uni
versity apparel.
“This will let the public make
informed decisions about what
they buy,” Roeper said.
The WRC plans to gather infor
mation through voluntary disclo
sure on the part of apparel manu
facturers, worker complaints and
investigations of factories with a
history of violations, she said.
In the months leading up to the
WRC’s first meeting, April 7, in
New York City, organizers consult
ed with labor and human rights
experts and workers from Central
America and Indonesia.
The WRC is trying to set up a
network of internal monitors,
rather than external monitors who
are “often given doctored versions
of what really goes on in the facto
ries,” Roepersaid.
Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Eugene,
joined 31 members of Congress in
signing a letter in support of the
WRC.
He said he was part of a minority
in Congress that wants to overhaul
institutions such as the World
Trade Organization and change in
ternational trade relations.
“We’re very supportive of the
WRC,” he said.
In another letter on April 5, De
Fazio wrote to University Presi
dent Dave Frohnmayer and called
the WRC “the best way for colleges
and universities to ensure that li
censed products are made under
decent working conditions, with
out sweatshop labor.”
DeFazio described the WRC as
having the necessary principles —
public information and public
pressure—to be an efficient moni
toring agency.
“The WRC requires truly inde
pendent monitoring, full public
disclosure of information about
factories and working conditions,
and allows universities to develop
flexible penalties for non-compli
ance,” he stated in the letter.
The local labor community was
pleased with student efforts in
support of workers’ rights.
“The student movement has
been particularly effective in mak
ing us aware of the issues,” said
Tim Nesbitt, president of the Ore
gon AFL-CIO.
HOPES
continued from page 1
discuss what sustainability means
and what works and what doesn’t.
... The whole conference is mostly
a service,” said Mat Taylor, one of
the event’s three co-chairmen.
During the weekend, partici
pants will use Eugene as a model
for design projects and ideas. Tay
lor said Eugene city planners have
long fought to implement rules
and city codes that consider ideas
of sustainability.
City planners “have made new
rules so now they can do it right,”
Taylor said of the development
project, which is the culmination
of their efforts.
HOPES organizers said anyone,
not only artists and architects, can
benefit from the information that
the keynote speakers, panels and
workshops will provide.
“Universities have a unique op
portunity and responsibility to be
come leaders in environmental
sustainability,” said Christine
Thompson, who will lead a panel
called “Greening the Campus,”
Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
The four keynote speakers have
come from all over the country
and Canada to speak at the confer
ence.
Patrick Condon, who is also
leading the charrette, is a profes
sor at the University of British Co
lumbia. He specializes in land
scape design theory and
sustainable urban design.
Samuel Mockbee, who teaches
at Auburn University, focuses his
work on ways of developing af
fordable housing. He came up
with the idea of a rural studio,
which takes student architects to
areas where people need housing.
Clare Cooper Marcus is a pro
fessor emerita in architecture and
landscape architecture at the Uni
versity of California at Berkeley.
“She is one of the most power
ful women I have ever encoun
tered,” Taylor said of Marcus.
The final keynote speaker,
Steve Loken, is a nationally recog
nized building technology expert.
In addition to workshops, pan
els and keynotes, there are activi
ties for children.
Jess Ellingson, who is the kid’s
workshop coordinator for the con
ference, said there will be a vari
ety of demonstrations and hands
on workshops children can
participate in, including how to
compost with worms, how to re
cycle and a workshop on solar en
ergy.
“The younger you start, the bet
ter,” Ellingson said.
There are also $500 and $250
cash prizes for winners of the “de
sign challenge.” Some of the de
signs include using license plates
for house siding, recycling bath
room porcelain to create luxury
bathroom sinks and using tires
filled with dirt as housing founda
tions.
