■The Adell McMillan Gallery’s
new exhibit brings together
the sculptures of artists from
diverse ethnic backgrounds
By Lisa Toth

It’s the perfect place to squeeze in
a catnap, review notes before class
or scarf down a sandwich.
But from Sept. 20 to Oct. 11, the
Adell McMillan Gallery, adjacent to
the EMU Ballroom, is featuring
more than just a quiet and comfort
able atmosphere. The gallery’s lat
est exhibit, which opened with a re
ception Sept. 20, will display the
work of three local sculptors.
“There are three different people
from three different backgrounds,”
said Mary Rasmussen, visual arts
coordinator with the University’s
Cultural Forum.
The Cultural Forum, ASUO Mul
ticultural Center and Black Student
Union came together to host the
event. Rasmussen said the intent of
the show is to do more than just

Robertson said the average resi
dential customer uses 1,250 kilo
watt-hours and will see a nearly
$20 dollar increase in his or her
electric bill. This means most cus
tomers will be paying less than a 36
percent increase. Those who use
more than 2,000 kwh will be pay
ing more than 36 percent.
The average water customer uses
9,000 gallons of water and will see
a $2 increase in water charges.
Community members spoke out
at the Friday meeting in favor of the
tiered rates, because many believe
the system will promote energy
conservation.
“I strongly support tiered rates,”
Eugene citizen Bruce Newhouse
said. “[The system] targets over
consumers and teaches that we re
duce the energy demand by making
[conservation] choices.”
Several citizens said a flat rate
would mean one customer’s rates
would rise because of another cus
tomer’s lack of conservation.
“People waste energy without
consideration and drive up my
rates,” Eugene citizen Tim Bower
man said. “A tiered rate system
would prevent that.”
But there are still those who are
worried that the tiered rate structure
is not the best way to handle the
price increase, including EWEB
Commissioners Sandra Bishop and
Patrick Lanning.
Both commissioners voted
against the tiered structure because
they are concerned that customers
do not understand the system.
“A good 80 percent of people aren’t
understanding the tiered system,”
Lanning said. “We need to educate
people or they aren’t going to see the
benefit.”
But Commissioner Susie Smith
said public education began last
April when EWEB first began in
creasing prices.
“A flat rate is unfair; the tiered
structure is necessary because of
such a large increase,” Smith said.
“We have done tons of public discus
sion on this. It’s imperative to move
forward with the tiered system.”
EWEB is expecting a large num
ber of calls from customers who will
attribute the increase to the tiered
system and not to the unavoidable
increase, Robertson said.
Bishop also voted against tiered
rates for the increase in water prices.
