Bernstein said this approach
creates a fluidity between the vari
ous members of the weekly
nightlife and a basis on which all
music fans can intermingle.
“Somehow we’ve created a space
that has brought us some incredible
talent that is beyond who we are,”
he said. “Sometimes the sum of the
parts is bigger than the whole. We’ve
created a space that’s bigger than us,
and its fun.”

FPEP

because of the program.
A second part of the movement
to continue FPEP includes con
vincing the state government to
do its part. For every $9 the fed
eral government spends on FPEP,
the Oregon Legislature chips in
an extra $1. But Sheppard said in
light of the state’s budget crisis
and recent cuts to health care
and other services in Oregon, it is
difficult to predict whether FPEP
will receive the funding it needs
to continue.
University Health Center Busi
ness Manager Daralyn DeHaven
Murdoch said since July 2000,
the Health Center has been able
to bill more than 20,500 visits
under FPEP, and more than
7,131 students have been eligible
for the FPEP waiver. She added
that even if FPEP fails to acquire
adequate funding, there will not
be a loss of service to students.
“The Health Center will still
provide the same family-planning
services, but we won’t be able to
cover the costs,” DeHaven-Mur
doch said. “Students will have to
pay out of pocket unless some
thing else comes along.”
FPEP not only provides free con
traceptive supplies, such as birth
control pills and condoms, but also
gynecological exams, pregnancy
testing, infection screening and
contraceptive counseling.
The program’s services and
benefits aren’t just for women.
One of FPEP’s goals is to encour
age men to also become involved
in family planning and seek out
services from clinics. DeHaven
Murdoch said men can receive
free condoms, contraceptive
management and visits for specif
ic infections.
Caroline Fitchett, executive di
rector of NARAL, said the organi
zation is also involved, along with
Planned Parenthood, in keeping
the project alive.
“FPEP will actually save the
state money by incredibly reduc
ing the number of unwanted preg
nancies,” Fitchett said.
NARAL works through grass
roots lobbying of state legislatures
to protect reproductive rights for
women. Fitchett said she is wor
ried that recent legislative move
ments, such as the Partial-Birth
Abortion Ban Act, that have been
passed by the Senate and are now
being considered in the House,
may indicate a targeting of pro
grams such as FPEP.

Ice cream

250 Ben & Jerry’s stores across the
country participate in the event.
He added that the local store chose

the nursery a second time because
of economic considerations.
“It’s tougher times, so we
picked them again,” he said.
In addition to assisting the Relief
Nursery, Bertelsen said the day is a

way for Ben & Jerry’s to start the
season and thank its customers.
“It’s to let people know that
we’re still here,” he said. “It’s
our way of saying thanks.”
He added that radio station
KNRQ. will broadcast live from
the shop for several hours, and
that the store won’t sell anything
during the day. Instead, the
nearly 65 workers and volun
teers will devote the entire time
to scooping up free cones —
including several new flavors,
such as oatmeal cookie and
brownie batter.
Meader said nursery staff mem
bers will also work behind the
counter.
“If they need us, we’ll get out
there and scoop ice cream,” she
said.
The Relief Nursery raised
more than #1000 during the
event last year, and Meader said
the goal this year is similar.
“We rely on the community
for a lot of our donations,” she
said. “If everyone gives 50 cents,
that adds up really quickly.”
Meader said the event’s timing
is fitting because April is Child
Abuse Prevention Month.
Besides being a nonprofit
fundraiser, Bertelsen said the free
ice cream adds up to just plain
fun.
“It’s a good time,” he said,
adding that customers can come
back as many times as they
