Story
continued from page 1
“A lot of it is difficult stuff to look
at,” Luu said. “But a lot of it is em
powering, so it sort of covers both
ends of the spectrum.”
The students shared their stories
one last time Wednesday night,
greeting each other with smiles and
hugs at the beginning of the session
— the last official workshop before
today’s performance. They also
talked about their experiences while
working on “My Own Story.”
Sophomore history and ethnic
studies major Mark Padoongpatt said
he got involved because he wanted to
find out more about himself.
“There are a lot of things in my
life that haven’t really been served
justice,” he said.
Padoongpatt added that he wants
to share his story with all different
kinds of people.
“The celebration is for everybody,”
he said. “It is a workshop for people
of color, but it’s empowering for white
people, too, because it’s an opportu
nity for them to relate to us.”
Sophomore Quinn Chiotti said
she joined the workshops after she
saw last year’s performance.
“It was really inspiring,” she said.
Chiotti said she was adopted and
wants her monologue to speak to
this subject.
“Through being involved, I would
like to make people more aware of
international adoptions,” she said.
“The trials and drama — all the oth
er stuff that comes with it.”
Sophomore ethnic studies major
Hanna Persson said she enjoyed
becoming friends with the other
participants.
“Getting to know everyone defi
nitely has been my favorite part,”
she said.
Persson added that the most diffi
cult aspect of the workshop was re
visiting painful past experiences.
“It’s definitely about vulnerability
— becoming vulnerable so that peo
ple can feel you and get to know
you,” she said.
Lilee Hua, Rashree Parsad, Jennie
Pai, Darlene Espinoza Dadras, Jason
Floyd, Solana Sawyer and Michael
Cruz will also celebrate their stories.
Luu said each time he leads the
workshop, he is astounded with
the results.
“I’m amazingly blown away,
touched, entertained, profoundly
inspired ... by all of your stories,” he
told the students.

Rally
continued from page 1
instead it has exploited every sliver
of fear to extend our military capa
bilities,” he said. “This has been
my nightmare for over 40 years.”
After the presentations, the
group massed along the sidewalk
on University Street and began
marching south, chanting “Whose
streets? Our streets!” and waving
signs. The sidewalk march soon be
came disorganized, however, and
protesters spilled into the streets.
Marchers then walked on East
15th Avenue, blocking traffic.
Many of the protesters eventually
allowed vehicles through the
throng, although some attempted
to stir the pot.
“Protesting is inconvenient for
commerce,” yelled one protester
who blocked a city bus.
The group turned north on Agate
Street, then went up East 13th Av
enue and eventually stopped again
at the EMU. Marchers regrouped at
the campus hub and proceeded to
march west on East 13th Avenue,
blocking traffic the entire way to
the Federal Building.
Although the march was entire
ly peaceful, a few small alterca
tions broke out along the way as
motorists either tried to dodge the
crowd or got stuck in the middle.
At one point, a driver exited his
vehicle and began screaming ob
scenities. Some marchers yelled
back at the man, but others
quickly ended the confrontation
by separating them.
Police officers on bicycles and
motorcycles made their first ap
pearance at Ferry Street, scram
bling to clear the few blocks re
maining before Pearl Street, where
the crowd would turn north and
head toward the Federal Building.
Students for Peace Co-founder
Levi Strom said during the march
that he was overjoyed with the
turnout.
“I think people are energized
that we took the streets over,” he
said. “It’s really important that
people in every city, big and
small, come together.”
Shortly before 1 p.m., the Stu
dents for Peace march reached
the Federal Building, spilling in
among hundreds of other protest
ers in the stage area and crowding
the intersection.
U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Eu
gene, was the first speaker to the
podium, discounting the Bush ad
ministration and the war effort. .
“As I said on the day of the State
of the Union, the greatest threat to
the people in the state of Oregon is
the fact that many people have lost
their job or can’t find a job, (and)
don’t have health care,” he said.
Although the march and the ral
ly both ended peacefully, police
had to barricade a splinter march
of 100 people who blocked traffic
around East 5th Avenue later in the
day. Three people were cited for
disorderly conduct and released,
police spokeswoman Pam Olshans
ki said.
“The small group seemed to have
no apparent marching path,” she
said. “They were clearly intent on
engaging police.”
Olshanski added that police did
not want the splinter group to
cast a bad light on the main group
of protesters, who she said were
very peaceful.
Despite the disturbance at the
end, she said the rally went well
considering the potential for ten
sion at a political event.
“(Protesters) were incredibly
cooperative,” she said. “In reflec
tion about what could have hap
pened, the outcome was much
more favorable.”
