News briefs Peace march to be held on Sunday Following the lead of people in New York who have been plan ning anti-war activities since Sept. 11, students and community members are taking a local ap proach as part of a national day of action for peace. They will participate in a march and rally on Sunday, Oct. 7, sup ported by the National Coalition for Peace and Justice at the EMU Am phitheater from 2 to 4 p.m. Randy Newnham.'from the Uni versity’s Survival Center, said he hopes the event will create dialogue and discourage “scapegoating of people in the community.” “Rallies are nice, but they’re not effective in creating social change,” he said. “People need to get their feet wet and get engaged in politics on a personal level. So ciety doesn’t change until we change as individuals.” The event is being organized by the Survival Center and the Justice Not War Coalition. Local perform ing artists at the event will include The Sugar Beets, Jordan Blum berg-Enge and the Urgent Carni val, a local street theater and mu sical group. — Lisa Toth Oregonians to travel to New York To affirm the economic link be tween Oregon and New York, en courage travel and stimulate New York’s economy, Oregon residents will be taking a trip across the country. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., hon ored the organizers and partici pants in the upcoming “Flight for Freedom” on the U.S. Senate floor Thursday. “In a show of solidarity with their fellow Americans, more than 700 Oregonians are making a state ment to the nation this weekend by heading to the hotels, Broadway shows and restaurants in New York City that are fighting for economic survival in the aftermath of the at tacks,” Wyden said in a statement. Oregon business and civic lead ers will be joined on their trip to New York City by State Treasurer Randall Edwards. “This is a great opportunity for Oregonians to make a personal connection with the people of New York and show our support for those suffering the most from this terrible tragedy,” Edwards said in a statement. — Lisa Toth Firestone ordered to recall 3.5 million more tires (KRT) The federal government has ordered Bridgestone/Fire stone Inc. to recall 3.5 million tires, which ends another chapter in the often combustible partner ship of Ford Motor Co. and the tire maker. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which or dered the recall Thursday, also said it had discovered 68 more fatalities connected to Firestone tire failures, raising the total to 271. Twenty-five of those deaths and about 50 of the more than 800 in juries involve the newly recalled tires. Most of the accidents report ed to NHTSA involved the rollover of the Ford Explorer equipped with Firestone tires. Ford and Firestone have been playing the blame game for over a year. Ford says Firestone tires are defective and unsafe, while Fire stone says the world’s best-selling sport utility vehicle has a tendency to roll over because of an alleged steering defect. The recall involves Wilderness AT tires that were mounted on sport-utility vehicles before May 1998 and that were supplied to Ford as original equipment or sold as replacement tires. The U.S. unit of Bridgestone Corp. in Japan estimates its replace ment program will cost about $30 million and will be completed by Jan. 31. Thursday’s announcement ends the government’s investigation into the safety of Firestone tires and the Ford Explorer. The gov ernment report said claims and complaint data indicated that tread separation on the Explorer is “no more likely to lead to a crash than on other SUVs.” — Alejandro Bodipo-Memba © 2001, Detroit Free Press.
