Council continued from page 1 Eugene resident Bob Pearson said he hopes the city won’t approve the Human Rights Commission’s rec ommendations. “The Human Rights Commis sion wants to force its ideas of morality on the community of Eu gene,” he said.

Self said the proposal regarding restroom use was the most impor tant aspect of the hearing and that the registry is purely symbolic. “It reflects the values of our city of human dignity and respect for all,” Self said. “It’s amazing how this comes down to a restroom, isn’t it? We’re talking about dignity.” City Council will vote on the proposed amendments 7:30 p.m. Oet. 28.

Clinton continued from page 1 Pfeiffer said of the gubernatorial campaign. Mike Linman, co-chairman of the University’s College Democrats, doesn’t believe the rally is being held out of necessity as much as it is to get students excited about voting. “I don’t think it was made out of desperation,” Unman said. “(Clin ton’s) only going to be in areas where his influence will make a difference.” Ten years ago, Bradbury and Clin ton visited the University weeks be fore Clinton was elected the 42nd president of the United States. Brad bury said he distinctly remembers the University’s atmosphere and added that he hopes the crowd’s ex citement will be reminiscent of the past. “I just feel it’s so perfect to be go ing back to Mac Court,” he said.

The festival also has food, a harvest quilt raffle and live entertainment.

At dusk on Friday, Wildhorse will stage a Night Glow at the Round-Up grounds, where the balloons will be lit to musical accompaniment. This barely scratches the surface of what Oregon has to offer for the fall traveler, but at least you have a few more tools you might not have had two minutes ago.
