Oregon Daily Emerald
Forum aims to end bombing
■The Community Alliance
for Lane County urges peace
and social justice to stop
the bombing in Afghanistan
By Sue Ryan
Oregon Daily Emerald
Nearly 100 people filled the
pews at the First Methodist Church
on Tuesday evening to listen to
speakers advocate using social jus
tice to stop U.S. military involve
ment in Afghanistan.
“The U.S. government is using
the attack to enhance its vision of
the world,” Martin Hart-Landsberg,
a Lewis and Clark College econom
ics professor, said.
He said current government poli
cies are not being carried out to stop
terrorism, but for a different purpose.
“It’s maximum freedom for pri
vate profit-making,” he said. “It’s
being used to push through trade
agreements.”
Hart-Landsberg, along with two
other speakers, came to Eugene at
the request of the Community Al
liance for Lane County.
Organizers handed out tip sheets
on writing letters to Oregon’s congres
sional representatives, urging them to
support halting the bombing of
Afghanistan. Zaher Wahab, a profes
sor of education at Lewis and Clark
College, emigrated from the country
to the United States. He said the cur
rent military action is only harming
an already impoverished people.
“If we care about our own peo
ple, then think about all the people
who haven’t had a decent meal in
three years, let alone a year. Work
on ending the bombing,” he said.
“We are a peace and social justice
organization,” alliance member Car
ol Van Houghton said. “We used to
be called Clergy and Laity Alliance
— back in the days of the Vietnam
War when we first started.”
The alliance designed the hour
and-a-half forum to be the first of a
series of discussions and invited
out-of-town speakers to stimulate
the community.
“Because there have been other
presentations on this subject, we
did not want to repeat speakers,”
she said.
Community alliance spokesman
Dan Goldrich said the next forum is
tentatively set for January and will
focus on crimes against humanity.

Crisis
continued from page 1
department, said the chain of com
mand among officials working the
scene needed to be more clearly identi
fied, a criticism Hicks acknowledged.
“There were decisions that had to
be made,” Grimm said. “And there
was a lack of knowledge as to who
would make those decisions. ”
Grimm said the most pressing de
cisions were whether to evacuate the
building, when to inform employees
and whether to shut down the build
ing’s air and heating system. Officials
deemed the threat valid at noon be
cause of the ominous language in the
letter, which read in part, “Death to
tlie oppressor.”
Officials shut down the air and heat
ing system in the area of Crasemann’s
office and notified physics employees.
But because officials felt the area had
been properly contained, they decided
not to evacuate the building, said Dan
Williams, vice president for adminis
I
txation and finance.
Williams said those responsible
for communicating crisis details to
their employees will meet some
time after the holidays to discuss
how the situation was handled.
The University Office of Commu
nications, which handled the majori
ty of calls from employees and mem
bers of the media seeking information
about the mail threat, may also do
some tweaking to its portion of the cri
sis plan this week, said acting deputy
director Pauline Austin.
“I think there were a number of peo
ple who didn’t have as much informa
tion as they wanted,” Austin said.
Workers in the communications
office normally disseminate infor
mation to an off-campus audience,
Austin said, and they weren’t sure
which medium would be optimal
for informing those on campus.
“We rely heavily on e-mail,”
Austin said. “But if we had tried to
notify everybody via e-mail, it
would have jammed the system. ”
The department aimed for a bal
ance of e-mail, meetings and Web
updates. Public safety officers also
set up a hotline for those seeking the
latest concrete information.
“The (crisis plan) is constantly
evolving because people and cir
cumstances continue to change,”
said John Crosiar, associate director
of communications.“‘Obviously,
this was a good trial run for how the
current (crisis plan) operated.”
Hicks said he was pleased with
many aspects of the crisis plan.
“People were very cooperative
and very understanding of our ef
forts,” he said. “For people who work
and go to school here, this was a dis
ruption in their daily activities. But
no one criticized our efforts. I think
they understood the situation. ”
Some of those who understood
the situation appreciated its after
math even more.
“What went well is that it wasn’t
anthrax,” Grimm said.
