Construction crews built forms
and started pouring concrete in
February. Willamalane Public Af
fairs Specialist Janet Donnelly said
the task force had worked with
Hawk for the past three weeks to
arrange the dedication.
“This is the first event like this
where Hawk has given money, dedi
cated a park, performed a demon
stration and offered the whole thing
for free,” she said. “Usually an event
like this would cost money.”
University junior Nate Jackson, a
member of the Duck U broadcast
team, said he was impressed with the
park and Hawk’s contribution to it.
“Hawk is awesome,” he said. “Not
everybody gives back to the com
munity like that.”
After the dedication, a local team
sponsored by Boardsports skate
shop joined Tony Hawk and friends
in a skateboarding demonstration to
test out the new park, which fea
tures rugged concrete stairs, rails
and urban skateboarding challenges
resembling picnic tables. Hawk said
the park’s high design standards and
the grassroots fundraising were fac
tors in deciding to donate the grant.
“We chose Springfield because of
the efforts of the skaters from the
beginning,” he said.
Looking ahead to a documentary
on his contributions to skate parks,
Hawk said he will continue to help
fund them as long as organizations
make donations.
“My donations come from my
demos, so as long as I keep doing
demos, I’ll fund parks,” he said. “And
we are always looking for other
donors.”

Iniversity regulates
free-speeeh zone
Free speech at the University: Is
it really free?
In the wake of Wednesday’s anti
abortion rally in the EMU Am
phitheater. students may be un
clear about what actions are
acceptable at the University’s free
speeeh zone.
Department of Public Safety Asso
ciate Director Tom Hicks said the in
tended use> of die amph itheater is for
free-speeeh actions, such as handing
out brochures, talking to people
about issues or holdingbanners.
I “For somebody to use the free
speeeh amphitheater, it’s generally
accepted without having any reser
vation or without scheduling
ahead of time.” Hicks said.
But the anti-abortion protester,
who belonged to a group called Sur
vivors, arrived at the amphitheater
without scheduling their event—an
action that Hicks said is consistent
with University rules as long as the
group didn’t set up a display without
a pennit. Instead, the protesters im
provised, holding the signs in the air
or setting them on dieir feet to avoid
contact with the ground.
“The way we draw the line on
diat is to say you have to hold the
signs-—you can’t set up a display,”
Hicks said. “For displays, you have
to schedule ahead of time. ”
Survivors was not the only group
exercising free-speeeh rights in the
amphitheater, however.
Students for Choice also made
an appearance to counter-protest,
setting up an amplifier mid speak
ing about the pro-choice angle.
Ilicks said their actions were
also compliant with the rules be
cause they weren’t interfering
with the pro-life protest, and they
confined their behavior to mak
ingstateraents,
“As far as we were concerned, it
was authorized,*’he said.
Although the EMU’s free
speeeh zone is open for anybody
to exercise certain free speech
rights, those rights can lie limited
by various regulations. Hicks said
the amplified speeches, which
were allowed at noon, wouldn’t
necessarily be allowed at mid
night without a permit
“The University has die authority'
to regulate time, place and manner
on things that occur on campus, in
cluding free speech,” Hicks said.
“We can make limits on what things
occur, what time the things occur

Daniel Anguis, a missionary from Survivors, props a sign on his shoes to bypass a
University policy that states displays on University grounds must be registered.
The group's posters were not registered, causing some commotion on campus.
Abortion

displays weren’t resting on the
ground of the EMU.
“That’s some crazy campus poli
cy,” McCullough said in response
to the permit issue.
Josephson wasn’t the only stu
dent who showed disgust at the gi
ant posters, some of which depict
ed eighth-month aborted fetus
heads and compared abortions to
the Holocaust.
Counterprotests and ASUO
posters sprouted up as soon as Stu
dents for Choice learned about the
images being shown to students on
campus. ASUO members created
signs warning students about
graphic signs in the EMU, while
SFC members rented the free
speech microphone and read facts
about abortion from Planned Par
enthood on the EMU Amphithe
ater stage.
ASUO President Rachel Pilliod
also stood in the amphitheater and
apologized to passing students for
the gruesome photos.
“Unfortunately, some folks have
come to campus... and they aren’t
giving us a choice to view (the
posters),” she said, adding that stu
dents should, “try to ward (stu
dents) off so they don’t have to see
these things.”
A table also was set up on the
stage of the amphitheater with
pamphlets about Project Saferide,
the counseling center and safe sex.
Students from across campus
came to the EMU to express their
disgust at the posters. Freshman
Spencer Hardy said he thought
they were ridiculous.
“It’s a gross exaggeration of a
worst-case scenario,” he said.
Sarah Koski,« member of SFC,
said this week is National Holo
caust Remembrance Week, which
made Survivors even more offen
sive to her. She said the reason SFG
was also in the EMU was to dis
pense facts about abortion — in
contrast to simply showing
grotesque pictures.
“We’re worried about women
who’ve already had abortions see
ing these posters and having a neg
ative mental reaction,” she said.
“SFG is a free-speech organization,
and we believe in the importance
of choice and what women need
and have the right to use.”
The Department of Public Safety
also came to the amphitheater.
DPS Associate Director Tom Hicks
said the reason for public safety’s
presence was to keep peace be
tween the two groups.
“Our role is to allow opposing
viewpoints to be presented in a civ
il manner,” he said.
After leaving the University,
members of Survivors made their
way to South Eugene High School.
Arriving at 3 p.m., the group set up
the posters outside of the schools ex
its. As students left the school, they
said comments such as, “Eww” and
“I don’t want to look at that.”
College Democrats co-Chairman
Mike Unman helped the SFG erect
the table and microphone in the am
phitheater and said the reason for
the quick opposition to Survivors
was because the ASUO wanted to
make sure students had the oppor
tunity to get more information.
ASUO President-elect Maddy
Melton agreed with Linman, saying
that while she felt people have a
right to free speech, Survivors was
imposing on students’ academics
with the distraction of the graphic
pictures.
“They are a gross misrepresen
tation of abortions,” she said. “It’s
just a scare tactic.”
