Measure 11

past criminal history,” Miller said.
“The saddest part about it is that
the measure also lowered the eligi
\ bilityagefroml8to 15.”
In response to the reform, Re
publican candidate for attorney
general Kevin L. Mannix, who
couldn’t be reached for comment,
said in a recent article, “Measure 11
was not sold by its proponents as a
measure aimed at repeat offenders.
... This is a myth perpetuated by
opponents to the Measure 11.
“The actual measure itself, as
well as its ballot title and the three
arguments in the voter’s pamphlet
in favor of Measure 11, focused on
incapacitation of serious crimi
nals, deterrence of others by show
ing that crime does not pay — pre
dictably of tough sentences — and
comparable sentences throughout
the state.”
Sixty percent of persons con
victed under Measure 11 are first
time offenders, according to
Sharon Miller.
“This means that those who
were convicted made one mis
take,” Miller said. “With this meas
ure, the courts’ hands are tied.
( They must sentence the individu
als under the measure.”
Sixty percent of the first time of
fenders are between the ages of 18
and 21 years of age, according to
Sharon MillerCitizens to Reform
» Measure 11 2000 has also looked
at the economic and financial as
pects of this measure.
“It costs $48,000 a year to house
and feed one juvenile in prison,”
Miller said. “It costs $28,000 to
house and feed an adult.”
In a statement made by Gov.
John Kitzhaber in 1996 regarding
the measure, he mentioned the fact
that he would have liked to spend
more money on education, but in
stead the money would be spent
on building more prisons.
“We are not saying that the crimi
nals don’t deserve prison,” Miller
said. “We are just saying: Let’s be fair
and impartial to these youngsters
who need programs and rehabilita
tion. They don’t need to be mixed in
with the inmate population.”
Lane County Sponsors Director
Ron Chase is scheduled to speak at
the rally and will focus on eco
nomic and treatment aspects of
this measure.
“Oregon used to have one of the
best sex-offender programs, but be
cause of this measure it has been
cut to help pay for the outside costs
of providing prisons,” Chase said.
Chases’ experiences in running a
half-way house for people just com
ing out of prison have shown him
that “we all have a vested interest in
these people getting treatment.”
Representatives from Citizens to
Reform Measure 11 2000 say they
are looking forward to the outcome
of the elections.
“We are very confident it will be
a good race,” Miller said.
Others still firmly support Mea
sure 11 and attribute Oregon’s de
crease in crime to it.
“Person crime and violent
crime have gone down, both in ab
solute numbers and in terms of
proportion to population since the
implementation of Measure 11,”
Mannix wrote.

cause the staff is still figuring out ex- -
actly what the position’s duties are.
“Jay is doing a good job, espe
cially considering his lack of re
sources this summer,” Anoushira
vani said. “He is sure of his goals
and even more sure of how to
reach them.”
However, Breslow is putting faith
in his staff to step up and assist him
in the summer projects before him.
According to Breslow, he has hired
a staff corhposed of solid organizers
and activists, qualities he relies on
to run the staff smoothly.
“I’m real big on leadership de
velopment, so all the staff and vol
unteers feel they’re a part of the
same group,” he said.
Part of creating that feeling of
unity between volunteers and the
staff will be the job of recent hiree,
Jeff Kline.
Kline, who will serve as the in
ternship coordinator, is a graduat
ed teaching student who previous
ly was the director of Hillel, a
Jewish student organization.
“I’m really excited about having
him on-board,” Breslow said.
Breslow’s attention is currently
being monopolized by voter regis
tration recruitment, one of the
ASUO’s major goals. After kicking
off the registration tables at Intro
DUCKtion, getting 1,000 students
to register to vote before school
starts and 6,000 registered before
the November election is a goal
creeping closer to being realized.
“We’re leading the state [univer
sities] right now with 200 regis
tered students,” Breslow said.
“That leaves us 5,800 short of our
goal. It’s really ambitious, but I
think we can doit.”
With initiatives on the ballot
that can drastically affect students,
Breslow isn’t focusing on telling
students how to vote, but on edu
cating them on the importance
their vote holds.
“We want to educate students to
the ramification of their vote, and
why this year’s vote counts more
than usual,” he said. “The state
wide election could have a big ef
fect on their lives in the next year.”
Breslow’s largest and most com
prehensive goal this summer is
simply to prepare for the school
year. He added that if the ASUO is
n’t ready, it will trickle down to the
other student organizations, which
will lose trust in the executive
leadership.
“It’s exciting to see the energy
Jay brings to the executive office
this summer,” said Greg Lobisser,
director of student activities, who
has been working hand-in-hand
with Breslow on the recent hiring
of a director for the multi-cultural
center.
Breslow’s sister Jenny, who
served as his campaign manager
during the spring, was thankful his
term has started.
“I think he’ll challenge this uni
versity,” she said.
