Despite the presence of police officers, participants smoke during Saturday’s marijuana march.

The stereotypical marijuana
smoker is apathetic and list
less.
With their rights to light up
at stake, however, pot smokers
and their supporters dispelled
that stereotype Saturday after
noon when nearly 100
marchers took to the streets of
Eugene as part of an interna
tional effort to legalize medici
nal and recreational use of
marijuana.
Participants of the Millenni
um Marijuana March, which
prompted nearly 100 protests
around the world, gathered at
Skinner Butte Park, marched
down West High Street and
convened at the Wayne Morse
Free Speech Plaza. There,

not doubting
membership
■ Rumors that the University is reconsidering
WRC membership are not true, but the UO is
monitoring the group’s progress
By Simone Ripke
Oregon Daily Emerald
Reports in newspapers and
on local television stating the
University might suddenly be
reconsidering its membership
in the Worker Rights Consor
tium are misleading, said Uni
versity President Dave Frohn
mayer.
In a statement Frohnmayer
released Friday morning, he
said “The University action has
always included establishing a
process for internal review in
cooperation with the Universi
ty Senate during the next aca
demic year to evaluate whether
the WRC can meet the terms of
our conditions for member
ship.”
Frohnmayer said the Univer
sity Senate will establish a
process for reviewing the WRC
memberships and is currently
establishing how this process
will look and how exactly it
will work.
Frohnmayer said this review
- process has been planned since
he signed on April 12 and is not
new but might be the reason de
ceptive reports appeared in Fri
day’s newspapers.

Cartoonist uses humorto conquer adversity
■John Callahan, a
quadriplegic and
recovering alcoholic, will
speak at the University
By Lisa Toth
Oregon Daily Emerald
He says he only flirts with
girls who look like they have
ground-floor apartments —
walking up stairs simply isn’t
an option.
John Callahan, who will
speak Tuesday in the EMU Ball
room at 4 p.m., isn’t an average
artist. A cartoonist, author, re
covering alcoholic — and a
quadriplegic since he was 21 —
Callahan will bring to his
speech his unique insight on
the humor he finds in life.
Abandoned at birth by his
mother, Callahan was adopted
and raised by David and Rose
mary Callahan, who believed
she couldn’t become pregnant
but later bore five children.
He said his mother’s genetics
