Event to analyze media bias
Peace, Justice and Media
Conference activities will
address media diversity
and ownership this week
By Chuck Slothower
News Reporter
National speakers, free workshops,
films and other events mark the be
ginning of a major conference on
campus today.
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

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.

for us to stand up and take it back. *
Sean Doles, Hightower's commu
nications director, said people enjoy
Hightower for his unusual mix of
cowboy style and progressive politics.
"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.
