Heritage continued from pagel A members, requested a longhouse on campus from the administration. They were given the old barracks building to convert to their purposes. Over the years, Wilkinson said, elders and spiri tual leaders from the nine American In dian tribes in Oregon, as well as from around the nation, came and held cere monies to bless the longhouse. Wilkinson said that about 15 years ago, it became apparent the long house was starting to fall apart. The Office of the President recognized the need for a new longhouse and es tablished a committee to achieve that goal, Wilkinson added. The collaborative efforts of the Center for Indigenous Cultural Sur vival and the Office of the President helped to raise more than #1 million to begin construction on the new longhouse, Wilkinson said. The nest egg was nurtured through grants and monetary gifts from local tribes, as well as private donations. He added that the very first $100 came from a University graduate student, and an other University student who was dying of cancer donated her life in surance policy to the construction of the Many Nations Longhouse. The Campus Longhouse User Committee, a subcommittee of the President’s Advisory Council, is holding a meeting today to review the longhouse design plans. Wilkin son said the general public is wel come to observe the planning meet ing. For information about the new longhouse, call Wilkinson at 744-4347.

Gordon’s sign read, “Let’s practice pre-emptive peace.” Many Eugene residents also at tended the San Francisco rally on Saturday. A bus transported 47 peo ple to San Francisco to attend the rally and march. Students for Peace, a budding activist group in Eugene, organized the transportation. Many others made the drive on their own. According to Nathaniel N-T, a member of the group who traveled to San Francisco, more than 80,000 people participated in the rally and march. “The march was just huge — the whole street was filled,” he said. “Eu gene had a pretty big presence there.” N-T said he was happy with the peacefulness of the crowd and was surprised to see many participants from the military as well as support from the San Francisco police. Other members of Students for Peace attended the rally in Eugene. They encouraged people to sign a petition in protest of a pre-emptive strike against Iraq. “Right now we’re trying to edu cate people and get them involved,” said Delicate, a Students for Peace member who prefers to use only one name.

The measure would re quire the manager staff a city attorney, to be appointed by July 1,2005. Proponents of the measure say an in-house lawyer would provide over sight and work toward the city’s best interests. Those in opposition say that an in-house attorney isn’t needed and point to history as proof. For more than 25 years, they say, the city has been fine without its own attorney. In all, there are nine city ballot measures. Measure 20-67 asks voters to help fund youth and school-based activities cut by state budget shortfalls. The measure could raise property tax es by more than three percent and would raise more than $30 million for local schools by 2007. ^ vo on/il e city has asked voters whether uld update language, improve readability and delete obsolete pro Any Yogurt (*Except small cones and tinies.

In the event that an elected city official leaves office, Measure 20-72 asks voters whether an election should be held during any year, rather than only during even years. If city officials knowingly spend money without authorization or through gross negligence, should they personally be held responsible? That is the question voters have been asked in Measure 20-73.
