News brief
Hells Canyon council,
OSPIRG display project
In 1833, explorer Benjamin Bon
neville gazed upon Hells Canyon —
located in northeastern Oregon —
and said nothing in any other region
could compare to its wild majesty
and impressive sternness.
The Hells Canyon Preservation
Council, which is working to sustain
the natural beauty of Hells Canyon’s
ecosystem, is giving a presentation
tonight in conjunction with Oregon
Student Public Interest Research
Group about the current movement.
f----——
The slide show, taking place at
6:30 p.m. in the EMU Gumwood
Room, will focus on gaining support
for a project aimed at changing the
management of Hells Canyon from
the U.S. Forest Service to the U.S. Na
tional Park Service.
The Hells Canyon-Chief Joseph Na
tional Preserve project is named with
respect to Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perce tribe — a tribe that lives in the
Hells Canyon region. The project also
focuses on giving the Nez Perce a more
direct voice in management of the pre
serve in accordance with treaty rights.
Min Lee, the coordinator of the proj
ect, said the reason why no current
bills or legislation exist is because sup
porters of the project want to have
strong support from different groups.
“We want people to feel invested in
this project,” she said.
Lee added that a bill will eventually
be available, but Congress must first
allocate money to the National Park
Service so it can conduct a study to de
termine whether Hells Canyon should
be under the park service’s authority.
Freshman Rebecca Shively, the
University’s OSPIRG campaign coor
dinator for the project, said she is
very excited about the project even
though it is her first.
“I’ve always been really passionate
about environmental issues,” she said.

CODAC
continued from page 1
role race can play in college admis
sions policies.
CODAC Postdoctoral Research
Fellow John Shuford said panelists for
today’s discussion were selected for
their experience in issues surround
ing the affirmative action debate.
“We’re in the middle of a new na
tional dialogue, and I saw an oppor
tunity to bring together our commu
nity experts and start thinking
through these issues in a public
way,” he said.
University of Oregon law Professor
Keith Aoki will moderate the discus
sion, and seven panelists will address
a variety of issues — including the
state of affirmative action in higher
education, the legal issues and in
depth examination of the University
of Michigan cases, the history of race
conscious affirmative action meth
ods and the possible consequences of
the upcoming court cases for higher
education, public policy, business
and employment in the surrounding
community.
Penny Daugherty, director of the
University of Oregon Office of Affir
mative Action and Equal Opportu
nity and one of the CODAG pan
elists, said even though the
University of Michigan cases will not
change affirmative action policies in
employment, there will still be
repercussions. She added affirma
tive action is still necessary to pro
vide equality of opportunity to mi
norities, and the absence of these
policies in public universities would
likely lead to a decrease in diversity
in the workplace.
“I do not think we have complet
ed the work that needs to be done,”
Daugherty said. “Without the access
in education, you’re not going to
have folks in the pipeline coming to
apply for jobs.”

War
continued from page 1
war by declaring that Iraq has squan
dered its final opportunity to disarm.
The council remains split between
members that are ready for war and
those that favor continuing weapons
inspections. Russia, France and Ger
many lead the antiwar group, joined
by Syria and China. Only Bulgaria has
joined the three sponsors of the pro
war resolution. Six other countries re
main on the fence, and under pres
sure from both sides.
Annan cautioned that war is “a
human catastrophe” that should be
considered only when all possibili
ties for “peaceful settlement have
been exhausted.” He said Iraq’s deci
sion to begin destroying its prohibit
ed A1 Samoud 2 missiles was a “posi
tive development.”
U.S. officials have said they would
be open to suggestions on their reso
lution but wouldn’t negotiate the
substance of it. If the resolution fails,
President Bush has vowed to disarm
Iraq by force anyway, leading an in
ternational “coalition of the willing.”
However, a Security Council majori
ty’s blessing on war would give it
greater legitimacy in the eyes of the
world, possibly reduce hostility to
the United States for insisting on it
and spur international cooperation
in rebuilding a postwar Iraq.
The next step is a Security Coun
cil briefing Friday by chief U.N. arms
inspectors Hans Blix, head of the
U.N. Monitoring, Verification and In
spection Commission, and Mo
hamed ElBaradei, head of the Inter
national Atomic Energy Agency. Blix
issued a report last week saying that
Iraq has been slow to comply with
demands that it destroy its weapons
of mass destruction, but nonetheless
is showing some cooperation.
After Friday’s briefing, the United
States and its allies are expected to
push for a quick vote on the measure,
but probably not until next week.
To pass, the resolution must get
nine “yes” votes and avoid a veto
from any of the five permanent
members, which include France,
Russia and China. The United States
and Britain are the other two veto
wielding powers.
Secretary of State Colin Powell
said Tuesday in an interview with a
French TV station that he was confi
dent that a majority of the council
would support the U.S. position.
