Ihe third annual Peace, Justice and Media Conference, which runs today through Sunday, carries the motto, "empowering the movement for fair, accurate and diverse media." However, event volunteer Michael Canigan acknowledged that the con ference has a leftist slant. "We did not try to get a balance," Carrigan said. "We tried to get a confer ence that reflects what Eugene is like." Carrigan added that the conference empowers diverse media by correct ing existing biases. "The voice of corporations and those with money is generally heard in the media," Carrigan said. "So we're going to get a conference to gether of voices that are not generally heard, thereby creating a more fair, accurate and diverse media." The conference does feature conser vative radio personality Dan Carlin of Eugene's KUGN 590 AM. Carrigan also said that the organizers invited Lars Larson, a noted conservative voice on Portland's KXL 750 AM. Larson denied via e-mail that he was invited to the conference. The conference will feature nation ally noted liberal commentator Jim Hightower, slam poets and a mime theater troupe from San Francisco. "Much of it is free, and much of it is fun," Carrigan said. Today's events will revolve around 1 lightower, a best-selling author, syn dicated columnist and radio person ality. Hightower will appear at a 12:30 p.m. "Rally for Rights" at the federal building downtown. Today's main event will be a speech by I ligh tower at 7:30 p.m. at Lane Commu nity College. Hightower, a former Texas agricul tural commissioner, is on tour pro moting his book, "Thieves in High Places." The book attacks corporate power and the imbalance of wealth, which Hightower said is aided and abetted by "King George the W" and the U.S. Congress. Hightower's audience can expea criticism of "Bushco, corporate klep tocrats and wobblycrats," Democrats who Hightower said have "Jell-Oed" on the major issues of the day. "Our very democracy, which is our ability to control the decisions that af fect our lives, has been stolen from us," Hightower said. 'The time has come ASUO continued from page 1 Student Association and Ecological Design Center. The senate denied a request from KWVA campus radio. The International Student Associa tion persuaded the senate to shift $350 from the group's Friday social fund to its food fund to pay for the group's Friday night coffees. The weekly event brings international stu dents together to mingle. The senate also approved a request from the Ecological Design Center, a green-friendly student architecture group, to transfer $225 of the group's funds to a different account to add two new positions. EDC will add a curriculum coordi nator and a professional developer. The change will cost no additional money because the co-directors, grad uate architecture students Fumiko Docker and Jay Marlin, agreed to cut their own salaries to pay for the addi tional positions. EDC's main task is holding an an nual ecological design conference. Procedural concerns about step ping on the ASUO Programs Finance Committee's toes resulted in six nay votes, but the request still passed 8-6. The senate rejected a request from KWVA for $775 to pay for an engi neer. The engineer helped the radio station broadcast live from the ASUO Street Faire. Senators voiced concern that KWVA had essentially already spent money that it didn't have. The motion failed by an 8-6 vote. The senate has $93,284 in surplus funds remaining.

"He has a knack for appealing to what he calls the bean-sprouters and the snuff-dippers," Doles said. "He speaks to the common sense that we all respond to." The conference also includes work shops on the USA PATRIOT Art and radio ownership, as well as numer ous video screenings and speeches. "This whole conference is about using the media to get your message out," Doles said. The conference is being sponsored by the Justice Not War Coalition, a Eugene-based peace group. "We're in another one of those when in the course of human events' moments that Jefferson wrote about," Hightower said, alluding to the opening words of the Declaration of Independence.
