REMEMBER
■ The Jewish community on campus began its annual ritual
of reading the names of Holocaust victims Monday evening
By Danielle Gillespie
Oregon Daily Emerald
pproximately 6 million people died in the
A Holocaust, too many names to call out even
in a 24-hour period. But on Tuesday
evening in the EMU Amphitheater, the
Jewish Student Union will have attempt
ed to announce as many of those names as possible.
To honor Yom HaShoah, or the Holocaust
Memorial, which is a worldwide Celebration for
those who died in the Holocaust, JSU has been
holding a ceremony reading the names of
those who passed since the group formed at
the University in the 1970s. The Holo
caust Memorial marks the first day of the
Shoah Remembrance Week, Shoah be
ing the Hebrew word for Holocaust.
“Other universities and student
groups have their own way of cele
brating the Holocaust Memorial, but
this is how we choose to do it," JSU
Co-Director David Kent said.

■A grand jury has to decide
whether to indict the University
student on multiple counts of
burglary and theft by April 15

University student Benjamin Ray
mond Kelley, 25, appeared before a
brief arraignment hearing Monday,
where a judge set an April 15 dead
line for a grand jury to decide
whether to indict him.
Kelley, wearing a green county jail
jumpsuit and brown sandals, said he
planned to hire his own attorney for
his future legal
proceedings. He
did not enter a
plea at the hear
ing.
Kelley was ar
rested Friday on
three counts of
first-degree bur
glary, three
counts of first
degree theft, one
count of second
degree theft and one count of unlaw
ful possession of a destructive device.
He allegedly stole between $2,500
and $3,000 in women’s underwear,
bathing suits and other personal me
mentos from three rooms in H.P.
Barnhart residence hall, where he
also lives.
The first-degree burglary and theft
charges are felonies.
Kelley reportedly became extreme
ly intoxicated late Thursday night
and was taken to Sacred Heart Med
ical Center.
He returned to the residence hall
early Friday and allegedly stole cloth
ing and other items from three rooms,
in some cases while the female resi
dents were sleeping inside.
Kelley was arrested Friday morning
and spent the weekend in jail waiting
arraignment.
Eugene Police Department spokes
woman Pam Alejandre said that, after
interviewing a number of Barnhart
residents, EPD believes the case is an
isolated incident. She said no evi
dence shows any connection between
Kelley and the campus assaults or
masturbation incidents outside other
residence halls.
West said anyone with information
regarding these or other incidents
should call DPS at 346-5444 or EPD at
682-5121. Other information is avail
able on a special DPS hotline at 346
5692, which will be updated as addi
tional information becomes available.
