Human Rights Commission
commemorates internment
To commemorate the 60th an
niversary of Executive Order 9066,
the Eugene Human Rights Commis
sion, joined by the Pan Asian Com
munity Alliance and Oregon Unit
ing, will sponsor a “Day of
Acknowledgment” at the Eugene
City Council Chamber on Tuesday.
The event, which starts at 5:30
p.m., will include speakers from
the community and the University,
including law school Dean Ren
nard Strickland.
“Executive Order 9066 led to
the internment of over 120,000
Japanese Americans on the West
Coast” in 1942, said Human
Rights Commissioner Jean
Grendler. “This event is an oppor
tunity for Eugene community
members to recognize and ac
knowledge local history of racial
injustices and bigotry.”
In 1976, former President Gerald
Ford signed a proclamation saying
in part, “We now know what we
should have known then — not
only was the evacuation wrong, but
Japanese Americans were and are
loyal Americans. ”
Eugene community members
will have an opportunity to sign a
community proclamation expand
ing on Ford’s statement.
Strickland said his talk will focus
on the connections between Native
Americans and the Japanese, and
he’ll honor law school graduate Mi
noru Yasui, whom Strickland de
scribed as “a major figure in the re
sistance to Japanese internment.”
Other speakers include Universi
ty law Professor Keith Aoki, Bahati
Ansari of Racism Free Zone, Judge
Cynthia Carlson of Oregon Uniting
and James Garcia of Lane Commu
nity College.
Some speakers will stay after the
event for a public dialogue where
visitors will have a chance to ask
questions and address issues.

While 40 percent of students take
classes between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.,
the University is looking to extend
class hours. To expand class time
availability, more classes will be of
fered during late afternoon and
evening time slots. Offering classes
at these times allows the Universi
ty to teach more classes without a
significant increase in building
maintenance and operation costs
and administrative costs.
The University is considering of
fering tuition discounts as an incen
tive for students to take classes of
fered later in the day.
For many students, a tuition dis
count would be enough of an in
centive. Journalism major Kevin
May said a price discount would
motivate him to take those classes.
“I would definitely do it,” May said.
“Any money saved is money earned. ”
University Provost John Moseley,
speaking at Wednesday’s Universi
ty Senate meeting, said offering
lower cost tuition could provide
more choices for students.
“The lower cost tuition plan
would provide students with more
choices in terms of class time and
cost,” Moseley said.
The University is facing another
record-breaking year in enrollment;
with reductions in state support,
looking for ways to accommodate
the majority of students is becom
ing a challenging task.
“We are faced with a dual chal
lenge,” Moseley said.
Enrollment at the University has
been rapidly increasing since 2000.
Between 2000 and 2001, enroll
ment increased from 17,135 to
18,411 — marking the most signifi
cant increase within the last four
years. Estimates for fall 2002 pre
dict enrollment will reach 20,000
— the largest University total en
rollment ever.
“We did not count on the enroll
ment to increase as rapidly as it
has,” University President Dave
Frohnmayer said. “We are ethically
bound to utilize our physical space
and teaching resources to the best
of our ability.”

bring together the diverse voices on
campus?
A: Only 12.7 percent of the Uni
versity classify themselves as non
white. I feel that number is very
low. About nine out of 10 students
are white or classify themselves as
such. Our priority needs to be
bringing diversity to the University.
The issues of diversity currently
facing the University are trivial
when put into perspective. Unless
we recruit more different ethnic
groups to come here, diversity will
be for the most part a non-factor.
Q: If two student groups were at
odds with each other, how would
you resolve the conflict?
A: Well, I can specify the Athletic
Department and the University as
being a prime example. The stu
dent body wants the department to
be self-sufficient. I believe it is nec
essary for groups to mediate their
conflict but also realize how much
we’re all the same and realize that
certain things are important in the
long run — such as the Athletic
Department being self-sufficient
— whereas other conflicts are not
so significant in the long run.
In the light of current world
events, we don’t see conflicts be
tween student groups being as im
portant as some people make them
out to be. That doesn’t mean we
don’t take them seriously.
Q: If there was one thing you
could change about the University
instantly, what would it be?
A: We would like to get a clock
on the tower of the EMU that
faces the north and west direc
tions respectively and that is visi
ble from the (EMU) fishbowl and
13th (Avenue).
Q: How would you do things dif
ferently than the current executive?
A: It’s time for a change. We want
later library hours. We want easier
sports ticketing. We want new cov
ered bike racks in strategic loca
tions. We want lower campus kilo
watt usage. We want fully sufficient
athletics. We want higher faculty
pay. We want change, and we want
your vote.
