Non-violence session
teaches activism
The Non-Violence Response Net
work will host a training session on
how students and community mem
bers can use non-violent techniques
for social activism from 10:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. on Saturday in the EMU
Ben Linder Room.
According to organizer Cynthia
Smith, this is the second training ses
sion at the University, but new partici
pants are welcome. Presenters at the
session include education faculty
member Bo Adan and Dr. Vip Short, a
local alternative medicine physician.
“At the heart of these trainings is
a twofold objective of building com
munity while empowering ourselves
via nonviolent force,” Short said in
an e-mail.
Short said many social movements
around the world have centered on
non-violence, from the fight against
colonialism in India to the civil rights
movement in the United States.
He said the session will draw on
teachings from activists like Mahat
ma Gandhi and Martin Luther King
Jr. Students learn communication
skills, techniques for making solidar
ity-building group decisions and
conflict resolution methods in per
sonal interactions.
According to Adan, different social
movements use different techniques
to spread their messages.
“Something like non-violence can
be an overarching tool that all these
can use,” Adan said. “The principles
and philosophies are applicable and
useful in all social movements.”
Short said the non-violence move
ment is particularly relevant now
and was never seriously considered
by the government as an alternative
to the recent war on Iraq.
“Non-violence teaches that even
the entrenched institutions, which
are set up as dominant hierarchies,
that will enforce their wills through
a fearsome arrays of weapons; even
these are quite vulnerable to the
more awesome power of tenaciously
applied nonviolent methods.”
There is no charge for the train
ing. To register, call 896-3996.

KRVM to air next year
with reduced staff
Local radio station KRVM will be
on the air next year, but will be
forced to reduce staff size and rely
more heavily on membership and
underwriting funds.
The 4J School Board decided to
discontinue funding to the station
because of massive projected cuts in
education funding by the state.
Station General Manager Carl
Sundberg said operation staff will be
reduced from 5.5 to 2.5 members,
and he hopes volunteer support
from community members will help
fill the gap.
High school students involved in
the station, which is used as a hands
on classroom for radio production,
will have a larger role in operations,
he added. The station will also be
looking for interns.
“We’re going to bust our chops to
find a way to keep this station go
ing,” Sundberg said. “But we’ll need
the support of the community.”
KRVM was placed on the school
district’s list of intended cuts in
April, threatening the existence of
the station. Sundberg said commu
nity response, in the form of sup
port, donations and memberships,
was tremendous.
Foolscap Books, 780 Blair Blvd., is
hosting a benefit event for KRVM at
8 p.m. May 31. San Francisco-based
rock poet and songwriter Polly
Moller will perform in support of her
third album, Diogenes, and a portion
of the proceeds will go to KRVM.

Anthrax
continued from page 1A
the area. Sage said officials cordoned
off part of the front yard outside his
house at 1261 Alder St., and shortly
after that, the first fire truck arrived,
and a bomb squad vehicle and a haz
ardous materials team showed up.
“I guess there was a hazardous
package, and so standard procedure
is to clear the area,” said Sage, watch
ing the scene with his roommates
about 5:30 p.m. from the roof of his
three-story -
house.
Sage’s room
mate Kelsey Le
Blanc said she
doubted authori
ties would ever
let people know
what was really
in the bag.
“They’ll never
say what (the
package) is,” she
said.
To the west of
the station, psy- -
chology student
Sara Ciamaney watched as hrefight
ers set up decontamination centers
and HAZMAT teams donned yellow
plastic suits — right next to her
parked car.
“I was in Starbucks, and I looked
out and there was red tape every
where,” she said. “I thought I had a
good place to park — I hope I don’t
get a ticket.”
Police blocked off the front of the 7
Eleven on Alder Street without evacu
ating the people inside, causing con
fusion for employee Erich Rachel.
“They taped me off and didn’t
even tell me I had to leave the
store,” he said. “My poor car’s infect
ed with anthrax now,” he joked.
About 5:50 p.m., authorities evac
uated the campus Starbucks, and two
people wearing bright yellow HAZ
MAT suits trooped up to the station
with a portable X-ray unit and exam
ined the package. Several minutes lat
er, they came back with a white plas
tic bag, put the suspicious object in
the bag and hosed down the whole
area. The package was then trans
ported for further FBI testing, and
everyone who came into contact with
it was hosed down and decontaminat
ed by firefighters.
The area was reopened about
6:10 p.m., and television crews
swarmed the intersection at East
13th Avenue and
Alder Street, as
they peppered po
lice officers with
questions.
Delf said while
the package prob
ably wasn’t dan
gerous, it’s impor
tant to treat each
instance seriously.
“Even if there’s
not much in the
package, if you’re
talking about bio
chemical warfare,
the size or shape of the object does
n’t really reflect the level of danger if
there are contaminants,” she said.
“It’s hard to tell the difference from
hoaxes and the real thing until it’s
checked out.”
Authorities should know within a
few days whether the package was
dangerous. Delf said police have no
leads and no suspects in the case, but
anyone with information should call
the general EPD line at 682-5111.
The last hazardous materials inci
dent was Nov. 15,2001, at a Univer
sity physics lab. The campus station
was bombed Sept. 6, 2000, and a
tennis ball-sized object was defused
by a bomb squad outside of Oregon
Hall on April 11,2002.
