Throughout the day, the group staged
events that included disappearances,
executions, a "die-in" and a massacre
to protest the training facility. WHISC,
founded in 1946 and formerly known
as the U.S. Army School of the
Americas, has trained Latin American
military personnel in "counter
insurgency" warfare tactics and
"psychological operations,"
according to the demonstrators.

Staples
continued from page 1A
“Staples’ new policy is the begin
ning of the end of the practice of de
stroying endangered forests to make
disposable paper products,” said Re
becca O’Malley, program advocate
for ecopledge.com, one of the groups
involved in the Paper Campaign.
The company will also create an
environmental affairs division to re
port annually on its environmental
results, as it is dedicated to the con
tinuous efforts of learning, analysis,
action and measurement.
Staples Public Relations Manager
Owen Davis said that formalizing
this policy continues efforts that
have already been underway as a
part of Staples’ commitment to the
environment. Davis said consumer
education is important because
there must be a demand for the
products they are trying to promote.
One of the newer products being of
fered is paper from the Living Tree
Paper Company, a Eugene-based
company, which makes paper from
non-wood products and post-con
sumer waste.
Efforts of the Paper Campaign in
cluded more than 600 protests at
Staples stores nationwide, tens of
thousands of letters and calls to the
companies’ CEOs and national
news coverage.
Staples invented the office super
store concept and now has more
than 1,400 stores. Ross Hammers
ley, pacific coast field organizer for
ecopledge.com, said they are opti
mistic that other companies will fol
low Staples’ lead. In the past,
ecopledge.com has been able to
convince one company to commit
to a certain issue, then pressure
their competitors to follow suit.
“We can target one market
leader and hope the dominoes fall,”
Hammersley said.

tients who need transfusions.
“There’s always critical short
ages for blood,” Associate Vice
President for Alumni Affairs Dan
Rodriguez said.
The idea originated from dialogue
between OSU event organizers in
charge of the annual November blood
drive and representatives from the
Red Gross group, Portland Pacific
Northwest Regional Blood Services.
“I think it’s just a great way for
people to get involved in the Civil
War competition,” said Jennifer
Price, assistant director for con
stituency relations for the Universi
ty Alumni Association.
However, all fun aside, giving
blood does take some bravery.
“The worst part is the finger
prick,” Price said. “They prick your
finger to check your iron level.”
Yet, before supporters roll up
their sleeves for the cause, there are
a few things to consider.
Those who want to contribute for
the first time should bring picture
identification, and all donors should
be 17 or older, be in good health and
weigh at least 110 pounds.
People should also evaluate their
medical histories beforehand. Inter
ested parties should also drink a lot
of fluid and eat a good meal with a
source of protein, such as yogurt,
cheese, eggs, peanut butter or meat,
before donating.
“I think people are eating better
since the hot weather is gone,” Lane
Memorial Blood Bank spokeswoman
Chris Stockdale said.
Stockdale added that low-iron
count is not usually an issue and
that few people are turned away for
that reason.
