News brief
Annual Pow Wow
takes place this weekend
The 34th annual Native Ameri
can Student Union spring Pow
Wow will take place at McArthur
Court this weekend.
Grand entries and a traditional
flag carrying ceremony will begin at
1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday and
noon Sunday.
“This is a community event to
celebrate Native American heritage
and honor mothers, because it is
Mother’s Day this weekend,”
NASU member Viola Brooks said.
At the Pow Wow, people will
dance to music played by the bands
Eagle Thunder, Rattling Thunder
and Fox Tail. Each band has be
tween five and 15 drummers.
There will be a dance competi
tion with categories such as men or
women’s traditional “fancy” dance,
men’s grass dance and women’s
“jingle” dance. For the “jingle”
dance, women wear a cloth dress
with cones that make musical
sounds from the various dance
steps, Brooks said.
The Pow Wow will also include
vendors selling Native American
crafts, and NASU T-shirts will be
available to purchase.
NASU will be making a salmon
dinner for everyone at the Univer
sity Longhouse from 3 p.m. to 6
p.m. Saturday. The event is free and
open to students, faculty and the
general public.

weren’t patriotic,” he said.
He said Harris made statements
“demoralizing” the Palestinians’
values that reminded him of the
way American generals described
the Vietnamese people during the
Vietnam War.
“Some of the stuff the guy said
was just frightening,” he said.
Jessica Lurie, a junior who also
attended Harris’ speech, said she
didn’t mind hearing a pro-Israeli
viewpoint, but Harris seemed to be
an extremist who made claims that
he couldn’t back up with facts.
“I don’t think he really reflected
the average Israeli person,” she
said. “He was very right-wing
and extreme.”
Lurie added that she was offend
ed by the way Harris described the
Palestinians.
“His most egregious statement
— I wrote it down because it made
me sick — was that the Palestini
ans used their children as cannon
fodder.”

personal safety working in Israel.
“I’m always looking over my
shoulder,” he said.
Harris works on Harav Kook
Street in Jerusalem overlooking
Zion Square. From the office win
dows of The Media Line, Harris
and his colleagues have witnessed
car bombings and acts of terrorism.
“We are right there — right in the
heart of it,” Harris said.
Harris said as he walked through
the streets after Sept. 11 he saw the
people of Israel crying, and ob
served how women continue to
fear even going to the supermarket
to grocery shop.
Lindsay Rowan, a senior majoring
in journalism, attended the lecture to
• earn extra credit in her 19th century
philosophy class and because, in the
aftermath of Sept. 11, she said she
was interested in the presentation.
“I consider it very important to
know the history of Israelis and
Palestinians,” she said, but she
added that many college students
and people in the United States
tend not to show an interest in in
ternational politics because they
feel they are “too far away and too
far removed.”
Club Israel chairwoman Sarah
Shpall said Thursday also marked
Yom Yerushalayim, a holiday com
memorating the reunification of
Jerusalem in 1967. During a press
conference, Harris made one final
plea for peace: “Hopefully, when
the violence is finished, students at
the UO will consider Israel as a
place of vacation,” Harris said.

and the cops have reported,”
Lewis said. “We’re going to cover
what’s going on in our communi
ty, and we’re going to get it one
way or another.”
The Eugene Weekly expressed its
“strong disappointment” with the
policy. Reporter Alan Pittman said
that most of the comments the pa
per submitted were “ignored.”
Cambra Ward, KMTR vice presi
dent and general manager, said EPD
policies have been good for the
news station and that EPD has
worked well with them, providing
access when needed.
“From what I can see, it doesn’t

Media access policy
By a 9-0 vote, the Eugene Police
Commission enacted the following
changes Thursday night:
* To allow media access to public
disturbances and large-scale events.,
previously not guaranteed
• To require a press pass, regulated
by media organizations
♦To form media poofs—select
groups of journalists encouraged to
share information with reporters not
on scene—as required on a case

much,” Ward said.
The framework for the new pol
icy has been taking shape over the
past months. EPD’s Committee on
Media Access Issues studied the
topic from October through
March, presenting its findings for
the commission’s review two
months ago. A motion was passed
at that time, allowing additional
time for more discussion and mi
nor amendments. Thursday’s
meeting, held in the McNutt
Room of Eugene City Hall, ended
discussion and incorporated
the proposals.
The policies on media access
were approved with a 9-0 vote by
the 12-member commission that in
cludes city councilors Bonny
Bettman and Betty Taylor. All oth
er members are volunteers and
were selected by Mayor Jim Torrey.
