Anarchists
continued from page 14C
chism, without rule, without rulers, is
something I guess anybody who calls
themselves anarchists would have to
hold as a basic tenet,” Cater said. “As
far as the finer points about how to
bring it about, how to produce a para
digm that doesn’t exist inside the par
adigm of destruction and greed, that’s
a tougher one. Everybody has differ
ent views about tactics. ”
Cascadia Alive! is the anarchist
media outlet. Cater helps produce
{ { Anarchists believe in
‘mutual aid. ’ The idea of
building an alternative
community that provides
and assists each member
in a non-hierarchical, non
exploitative manner.

Eugene anarchist
and University
graduate student
the public access show, which is
aired live on cable channel 97 at 9
p.m. on Wednesday nights.
“Every week we allow other peo
ple to have their voices heard, and
we do a very minimal amount of
controlling what goes on the show,”
Cater said. “Sometimes that results
in a really boring show or a really
controversial show or a really in
formative show. It just always comes
out the way it comes out.”
Vanderford defines anarchism as
“the rejection of domination in all its
forms — sexism, racism, capitalism,
homophobia, nationalism and envi
ronmental destruction.” She said
that anarchists believe that humans
are inherently good and that they
don’t need institutions, such as the
government, police and religion to
protect them from each other.
"Anarchists believe in 'mutual aid',"
she said. 'The idea of building an al
ternative community that provides
and assists each member in a non-hi
erarchical, non-exploitative manner."
Mutual aid is, in fact, a large part
of what the Eugene anarchist com
munity is about. However, nobody
is sure of exactly how large that
group is.
The number of people who actu
ally consider themselves anarchists
is pretty small, said Lucy Humus, a
Eugene resident and part of the an
archist community.
“Then there's this huge communi
ty of anywhere from 200 to 800 peo
ple who interact in a mutual aid
type way,” Humus said.
While the national media has re
cently been portraying Eugene as a
hotbed for anarchy, Cater says that
this is a false notion.
“I know anarchists in every city I
ever visit in this country,” she said,
“and some of those communities are
way more together than we are.”
However, because of all of the me
dia attention Eugene has been get
ting, Cater said that a lot more anar
chists are coming to check out the
scene for themselves.
“There's anarchists all over the
world,” she said. “It’s a very power
ful movement. It’s a movement with
a lot of history."
A history that is filled, at least one
anarchist said, with misrepresenta
tions.
“The media’s interpretation of the
anarchists is exactly what police
feed them,” Steve Heslin said. “It’s
the same misrepresentation that was
started in 1886 with the Hay Market
anarchists.”
It’s true that the anarchy movement
is nothing new, and in Eugene, anar
chists have been working to achieve
their goal for a long time through vari
ous projects. Community gardens,
such as the one at Scobert Park in the
Whiteaker neighborhood, have
sprung up in different locations
around the city. Here, anarchists and
activists work together planting and
maintaining organic gardens that pro
vide food for those who need it and a
beautiful place to visit for others.
There are also housing co-ops,
education and day care programs
and, of course, political activism.
Protesting and rallying are the activ
ities that receive the most attention
from both the media and the Eugene
Police Department.
Cater and Humus both said that
they choose not to participate in the
protests and riots, and that senti
ment is shared by many anarchists.
Food Not Bombs is another project
run primarily by the anarchist com
munity. It provides free meals to
those who need it weekly at Scobert
Park. Humus said that Food Not
Bombs has at least 400 chapters
around the world.
“They’re all getting food from
their local community, cooking it
and serving it hot for free in a public
place,” Humus said. “It’s a perfect
example of shared leadership and
cooperation."

continued from page 17C
Although this won’t be a prob
lem right away with classes just
starting, Vobora said LTD has found
that a small percentage of residents
continue to ride the bus for free
even after they are no longer stu
dents. The fraud rate was about 4
percent based on 852 records.
Surprisingly, he pointed out, the
fraud rate among former University
faculty and staff was at almost 13
percent. Stamm said that OPS is
looking at a system that would re
quire those who leaving University
employment to turn in their ID
cards with their keys, if they have
been issued a set. OPS is also work
ing with each department to get the
ID cards back during exit inter
views, he said.
One enrolled student, senior
Kate Downing, said that she rides
the bus to school every day because
she doesn’t own a car. Downing
said the system works well, but she
would like to see improvements in
weekend service.
“There’s no bus service, especial
ly on Sundays until 9 a.m. or so,”
Downing said. “I know a lot of peo
ple who have to be to work at 7 or 8
in the morning and it’s inconven
ient.”
Despite that hassle, Downing is
not ready to join the mass of auto
mobile drivers making their way to
the University.
“I definitely wouldn’t want to
give up the student pass system,”
she said.
