Youth Voices overrun
■Amid anti-government
screams and bellows, one
candidate quits the race
By Darren Freeman
Oregon Daily Emerald
During what was intended to be
a panel discussion between Eu
gene mayoral candidates and high
school students Tuesday night at
the Hilton Eugene and Conference
Center, one candidate announced
at the Youth Voices discussion he
would drop out of the race and
about 15 anarchists dominated
the dialogue.
“This is a cutthroat capitalistic
system, and I don’t want to be a part
of it,” mayoral candidate Uriah
Murray said after hearing Eugene
Anarchists for Torrey (EAT) mem
ber “Cookie Dow” criticize the ef
fectiveness of government and the
role money plays in politics.
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.
