The four other candidates at the forum included current Mayor Jim Torrey, Alexa Doty, Michael Glownia and V. Lazar Makyadath. Not present were Micah Rueber and James “Izzy” Whetstine. “More kids would have probably asked questions if the anarchists weren’t here,” South Eugene High School senior and Youth Voices member Bob Nardo said. “We couldn’t talk about the issues as much as we would have liked to.” An EAT member calling him self “Rotten” said he was there to dissuade voting, to speak out against government and voice support for Torrey. The group be lieves Torrey’s reelection would promote voter disillusionment and anarchy in Eugene, according to an EAT pamphlet. EAT members also interrupted Torrey’s State-of-the-City address Jan. 13 and met with Torrey Jan. 23, until the mayor walked out of the meeting after members began playing musical chairs. “The students who organized this forum might feel that their event has been belittled, but it has n’t been belittled at all,” he said. “This was the biggest event I’ve at tended so far in my campaign.” Matt Elliott, Sheldon High School senior and Youth Voices co-director, said that though he was saddened by the low number of students in attendance, the event succeeded in educating those present about the election and local politics. Between pleas for order and ci vility, candidates addressed bal ancing economic growth and en vironmental protection, tax benefits for local businesses, homelessness, prostitution and af ter-school programs for students.
