The Oregon Human PRESENTS 2002-3 ROBERT D Lecture in the The Sound of Human Longing: Field Notes for an Environmental Ethic of Care BY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR Kathleen Dean Moore Professor of Philosophy Oregon State University Wednesday, March 5 8:00 p.m. Gerlinger Alumni Lounge UNIVERSITY OF OREGON r 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. —Ali Shaughnessy a Crime watch Theft and recoveries The Department of Public Safety received five stolen bike reports from Gerlmger Hall, Bean Complex, McKenzie Hall and East Campus Hous ing.

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.” Contact the senior news reporter atjenniferbear@dailyemerald.com. 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. © 2003, Knight Ridder/Tribune Information Services.
