Broadway •On the Downtown Mall• r Controversy continued from page 1A date who has said that extinction is not an option,” Pope said. He is “a candidate we still need to edu cate, a candidate we still need to reach.” His point proved to be a hard sell to Nader supporters, who said Pope’s endorsement of Gore was ridiculous because Nader is more in line with the club’s environ mental views. Pointing out that Gore was not in favor of protecting old-growth forests, the protesters questioned Pope about his choice. While Pope said he thinks cut ting needs to be stopped in all na tional forests, he said he believes Gore is willing to work with envi ronmentalists on the issue. ‘‘If there are two candidates, and neither of them will take that that pledge with me on inauguration day, then I’ll say a plague on both your houses,” Pope said. “But I be lieve Gore’s heart is in this.” At one point, a protester asked who Pope would vote for if the race was between only Gore and Nader. Pope replied his vote would go to Nader. But because that is not the situa tion, Pope emphasized people must use their votes wisely. “A vote for Nader is effectively a vote for Bush, or at most a protest,” Pope said. “It’s fine to protest, but election day is not the time to do it.” Many people at the press confer ence were supporters of both Nad er and Gore, said Don St. Clair, a coordinator with the Greens for Gore Coalition (GFGC). A great deal of them, however, are “mak ing strategic decisions” with their votes. One of those voters is Steve Her man, who said he is sticking with Nader because he is an “honest, committed individual who’s dedi cated his whole life to help peo ple.” Herman, who is a student coor dinator with Lane Victory 2000 — the coalition formed to support Nader — said his parents taught him that “when you want some thing, you go for that something. You don’t settle.” He said he doesn’t think voting for Nader will make much of a dif ference in the Bush vs. Gore race — adding that Oregon’s electoral votes are insignificant in the larger scheme of things. And Nader, he said, does need the support: In or der to receive funding for future endeavors, he must obtain 5 per cent of the vote. Elavid Resseguie, co-founder of the GFGC, said his group is en couraging people to hold their votes until the last minute. If it looks like Gore will win, they can still vote for Nader — thus giving him a voice — without worrying that Bush will be president. “I’m very concerned that my fel low Greens will act as spoilers and push the electoral votes to Bush,” he said. There are those, however, who believe the warnings that voting for Nader will harm Gore are exag gerated. Nader supporter Sarah Charlesworth said she thinks the situation may actually be the re verse: So many people in Oregon support Nader, she said, that vot ing for Gore would probably give Bush more votes. “I’m scared that every one of our votes are going to go for Bush,” she said. Camilla Feibelman, national di rector for the Sierra Student Coali tion, expressed frustration that en vironmentalists were dividing themselves when they should be sticking together. Outside the debates in Boston, she said, Nader and Gore support ers clashed both verbally and physically — a situation that scared her. “The reason that scares me is that come Nov. 8, we’ll have to come back together,” she said. “We’re on the same side of the fight.” New director continued from page 1A the counseling center to exist, but private consultation can cost $90 100 per session. Dr. Gerald Fleischli, medical di rector of the Student Health Center, chaired the search committee that hired Holmes. He said she has a clear vision about the role of the counseling center. “She’s an outstanding leader and professional,” he said. “There’s ab solutely no question in her ability.” Fleischli said he hopes to see an increase in collaboration between the health center and the counsel ing center. Donna Leavy, office manager for Student Affairs, a committee that addresses student issues, said the counseling center is an important service for students. “It’s a wonderful resource be cause everyone gets stressed out with life from time to time and could use some help,” she said. Leavy, who sat in on meetings of the search committee that hired Holmes, said she is impressed by Holmes’ experience and energy. The University Counseling and Testing Center, located on the sec ond floor of the Student Health Center, provides services such as emergency counseling, therapy groups and workshops. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1010351 Child care continued from page 1A teachers since 1987. “There is a continual process of change that reflects social change and parent needs,” Reynolds said. “We try to make sure that what we are doing reflects knowledge in the best practice in early education.” Reynolds said CCDC originated One Dozen Roses $15°° Delivered Call us! 344-9998 One dozen roses with greens, wrapped Delivered with your personal message Orders received by I :OOpm delivered the same day m&m U of O's Outdoor Flower Market— 13th & Kincaid from the demands of student protests and activism 30 years ago, when parents met with University president Robert Clark and a com mittee was appointed that allocat ed “temporary” space for a child care center. Since then, Reynolds has seen the program grow, though it still of fers services to improve education al access for student parents, en hance the early education of young children and serve as a learning site for University students. Reynolds said the development of a new building is on the top of the list of priorities for student building fees. The CCDC program still uses the house that was allocat ed for child care 30 years ago, but a more permanent space would al low the program to serve an ex panded range of age groups and im prove the quality of services provided, he said. Roughly one-third of the CCDC budget comes from student inci dental fees, while parent income generates the rest. This year, $299,348 of the CCDC’s $769' 251 budget comes from incidental fees. Megan Wheeler, lead teacher in the EMU Toddler Program, said when she began working for the program in 1982, the staffing and funding for curriculum supplies were not nearly what they are now. Wheeler said she hopes more re spect is given to teachers and edu cators in general in the future. “We live in a society that does not respect early childhood educa tion because it is a field that is pre dominantly women,” Wheeler said. Associate Vice President of Insti tutional Affairs Janette Oliver, who attended the University in the 1970s and began working for the University in the 1980s, has seen the changes in child care through the years. She said the University is friendlier to families than it has been in the past, when there were fewer options available. “We take certain things for grant ed today. We take the politics and the visibility of child care for grant ed,” Oliver said. “We assume that parents are going to have child care.” She also said that culture has shifted in regard to gender expecta tions in child care. “There was a time that the as sumption was, especially if you were female, that you would stay home, not as an option, but as a re quirement,” Oliver said.
