Bush considers options for Liberia
By David Jackson
The Dallas Morning News (KRT)
WASI1INGTON — President Bush is
considering sending American troops to
help keep peace in civil war-tom Liberia,
aides said Wednesday, as Bush called on
the indicted president of the West
African nation to leave the country.
No final decisions have been made,
Bush aides said, adding that any Ameri
can commitment would be a small
one, with carefully defined objectives
within an international peacekeeping
force. Some aides also said they hope a
voluntary departure by Liberian Presi
dent Charles Taylor would reduce the
pressure for American troops.
"We're looking at all options," Bush
told reporters, but added: "In order for
there to be peace and stability in Liberia,
Charles Taylor needs to leave now."
Even as Bush pondered another
foreign engagement, he fielded ques
tions about the ongoing effort in Iraq,
where undiscovered weapons of mass
destruction and a rising American
death toll continue to invite criticism.
Bush again defended his use of pre
war intelligence and vowed to deal
"harshly" with Iraqi resisters who tar
get American troops.
"There are some who feel like ...
the conditions are such that they can
attack us there — my answer is,
bring them on," Bush said. "We've
got the force necessary to deal with
the security situation."
Ihe "Bring them on" comment
brought rhetorical attacks from Demo
cratic rivals. Rep. Dick Gephardt D-Mo.
"I have a message for the president
— enough of the phony, macho rhet
oric," Gephardt said. "We should be
focused on a long-term security plan
that reduces the danger to our military
personnel."

DPS

has worked for DPS over the past four
years. She said she was asked to serve
as a voting member through the sum
mer because she knows the ins and
outs of the department.
Reed said because DPS has a po
tential to get a bad reputation, it's im
portant to have a group that allows
for public feedback. She also felt,
however, that the mission of the
group was still open to formation, ac
knowledging that the group has only
held one meeting.
"It has a lot of potential for what it
can be," she said. "It's kind of a vision
right now. It can go wherever the
board wants it to go."
Both Hicks and Reed agreed that
one of the strengths of the group is its
large student representation. Six of
the eleven voting members are from
student groups, three from ASIIO.
The group held its first meeting
June 5 primarily to discuss the func
tions of the group and its processes,
H4NCMWKM
Hicks said.
"The first meeting was really an op
portunity to discuss the membership,
to discuss the function of the PSAG,
to take a look at the bylaws and the
charter, and to tiy to reach an agree
ment on what peoples' expectations
are of the PSAG," he said.
The group's next meeting is sched
uled for July 10 at 4:00 p.m. in the
EMU Umpqua Room.

Country fair
continued from page 1
father was so intrigued that he walked
across the room and introduced him
self. The woman told Evangelista she
was convinced that without the play,
her parents would never have met.
I lowever, the woman had never been
able to obtain a copy of the play.
"Then she flipped the book
around that she was holding, and it
was the play," Evangelista said. "She
was just delighted."
Hie library, which is located on the
riverside near the Dare Devil Palace
stage at the country fair, has also
gained support at the University.
ASUO President Maddy Melton said
Evangelista asked the ASllO for per
mission to build the drop-off box in
front of the ASUO office so students
and community members could eas
ily donate books, adding she thought
the library was a good idea.
"1 think it's a great thing anytime
you can pass knowledge onto folks
for free," she said.
Norma Sax, an administrative assis
tant with the Oregon Country Pair,
said that the library is definitely a good
asset to the 34-year-old fair. Sax said
the fair, held in Veneta July 11-13, has
12 performing stages and 250 booths,
along with 50 food stands featuring
food from around the world.
"There is so much to the fair," Sax
said. "There will be beautiful art ...
extensive spoken word ... and many
great performances."
Evangelista spent many years
working for other booths before he
obtained the opportunity to start the
library, and said once he presented
the idea it resonated with people.
"I've had some remarkable and
sweet experiences (at the fair)," he
said. "With the library, we were able
to show the best of the fair ... by cele
brating that part of our family experi
ence that the fair really speaks to —
that wonder and imagination."
Another part of the library is the
book of secrets, a journal for anyone
to write down their anonymous mus
ings. Evangelista said over the years,
the book has been filled with every
thing from drawings and poetry to se
cret desires and confessions.
Evangelista said one of his cus
tomer's secret desires came true a
couple of years ago. Evangelista was
standing in the library when he felt a
tug on his shoulder from a younger
boy who asked Evangelista if he had
the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
"We looked, but we couldn't find
it," Evangelista said. "But 1 said if you
come back tomorrow, chances will be
you'll find at least one of the books.
Sure enough, at the end of the next
day, this one boy came and pulled on
my elbow again and he had a smile
from ear to ear. There he had held in
his hand the Lord of the Rings trilogy."
This year, Evangelista said he set
up the drop-off box in front of the
ASLIO offices hoping to continue
book circulation so more people can
find that one book they're looking
for. 1 le said his goal for this year is to
get every fair-goer to bring one book
in with them — and take one out —
which he said adds to the mystique
of the booth.
"The library is really magical," he
said. "And the dream that I've got is
that the library will continue to grow
into the fabric of the fair."
