When sunlight hits a dark roof, it heats either the inside of a building or the outskirts. A newer technology will be used in the complex, utilizing what is called a “green roof.” This in volves putting a thin layer of light soil on the roof and growing some sort of grass or succulent plant in it, Pear son said. The roof will prevent heat from entering the building, thereby reducing cooling needs on warmer days, Tepfer said. The plants and grasses will also be drought-resistant and will not require irrigation, Tepfer said. Green roofs slow down and reduce the amount of run-off during rain storms, and actually filter the wa ter that does run off, which reduces pollution. The roofing phase of the project will take place during the winter, Pearson said. After that is complet ed, the landscape architects will in stall the green roof.

Patriot continued from page 1A McCarthy Era, recounting a time when people were followed and their phones tapped because of their politi cal views. She challenged the audi ence not to be intimidated by the Pa triot Act legislation. “If we allow ourselves to be si lenced or pressured into agreement, we have everything to lose,” Paladi no said. “We have the power, let’s never stop using it.” Immigration attorney Teuta Nor man described how the Patriot Act has affected U.S. immigration policy. In her own practice, she has noticed that immigrants are more afraid to talk, for fear of being reported to the Immigra tion and Naturalization Service. Also, Norman warned that interna tional students may encounter more difficulties in extending their stay in order to complete their studies. “Extension status is being denied more frequently, is limited and harder to come by,” said Norman. Norman also said the reshuffling of several government agencies that once acted independently into the ju risdiction of the Homeland Defense Department poses a threat to immi grants’ rights. “I fear that the people that will serve in the Homeland Security Depart ment, including INS, will have an en forcement mentality,” she said, adding that the balance between law enforcement and immigrant assis tance will be lost. Civil rights attorney Lauren Regan and free speech attorney Brian Michaels jointly presented their con cerns and critiques of the Patriot Act, saying that it serves more than just an anti-terrorist agenda. One of the major concerns for civil rights activists, Regan said, is that many legitimate acts of civil disobedi ence can now be construed as domes tic terrorism under the vague termi nology of the Patriot Act. “It is an attempt to use terrorists the way they used communists,” Michaels said, “to erode your civil rights. ” Dave Goldberg is a freelance writer for the Emerald. Candidates continued from page 1A happen is to recalculate the budget. “When we get the budget thing fig ured out, that’s where the money will come from,” he said. As for Corcoran, he said where and how the money is collected needs to be scrutinized. “We have to get to an area of tax reform in the state,” he said. “Many of us, 10 or 12 years ago, predicted that Measure 5 would cause econom ic catastrophe. It’s left us as the most dependent state in the nation on per sonal income tax and small business income tax.” Corcoran said he thinks students aren’t involved in politics because it’s something that hasn’t been pre sented in the right way. “Students don’t see the impact of pub lic policy on their lives,” he said. “Taxes aren’t sexy to anyone.” Both candi dates live in ru ral areas — Corcoran in Cottage Grove and Alsup in Drain — but both feel it will not be a challenge to represent more urban areas like the University.

Corcoran also feels com fortable with the district. “The areas that I’ve repre sented for the past eight years have ba sically includ ed parts of Eu gene and rural Lane and Douglas County,” he said, “so it’s not a new task, and essen tially, a lot of the needs are the same,” Corcoran said.
