Graduation
continued from page 4
The second award will be formal
ly presented to Yasui’s widow in
Denver this summer. 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.”

Housing

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.”
