Yasui died in 1986. Strickland said that in 1939, Yasui became the first Japanese American to graduate from the Uni versity of Oregon School of Law. Strickland said Yasui is an “Amer ican hero” who challenged the con stitutionality of restrictive laws against Japanese-Americans during World War II. Yasui also helped lay the groundwork for a federal apolo gy and reparations payments to in ternment camp survivors, according to a May 7 news release. When Strickland introduced De fazio, he said the eight-term repre sentative has made possible more than 100 scholarships for displaced workers by donating money from his congressional raises. Defazio’s remarks dealt mostly with the idea of embracing the un expected and knowing how to po sition oneself to know which path is right for each individual. When Defazio was earning his master’s degree in public adminis tration and gerontology at the Uni versity, he didn’t have a career in politics in mind. “A lucky person sees opportuni ty where others don’t,” Defazio said. “Keep your eyes open to those opportunities. But don’t worry, they’ll come around.” Kevin H. Kono graduated as the top student in the class. Kono won the Derrick A Bell Jr. Scholarship, the D. Ben Tesdahl legal writing award and was executive editor of Oregon Law Review, among his achievements and activities. Olive, the class speaker, also said in his portion, “I know some of you . may feel like we are spreading like seeds in the wind. But this world’s not such a big place. I know our paths will cross again.” E-mail higher education editor Serena Markstrom at serenamarkstrom@dailyemerald.com. Housing continued from page 5 differs from previous housing codes that were proposed to Eu gene councilors in 1995. “Corvallis is not contemplating a housing code,” Kelly said. “They are contemplating housing standards.” Kelly said he doesn’t foresee councilor opposition to housing standards, but he does think con cerns will be raised. Nonetheless, Kelly said he hopes the city will enact standards or at least begin collecting housing data by the end of the year. “Corvallis has done a lot of our homework already,” Kelly said. University junior and Ward 3 candidate Maco Stewart said the Corvallis plan makes sense. Be cause the code bans specific hous ing infractions instead of incorpo rating large-scale requirements, the code protects tenants without over ly complex guidelines, he said. “It’s a lot more enforceable and a lot less expensive,” Stewart said. Stewart said Eugene had a hous ing code about 15 years ago, but it was discarded because it proved too expensive for the city and land lords to maintain. As a Pita Pit de livery driver, Stewart said he has had access — albeit limited — to the homes of many local residents. “It’s a real problem,” the political science major said. “You should see some of the conditions people are living in.” E-mail reporter Brad Schmidt at bradschmidt@dailyemerald.com.
