DEBATE
continued from page 1
College Republicans said Measure
30, which supporters often describe as
a temporary tax increase, carries five
permanent taxes. The group also pre
dicted the Legislature may eventually
make permanent two temporary tax
es contained in the measure.
"It's a sneaky bill," Republican
Chris Looney said. "It's being sold as
temporary when it's not temporary."
The Republicans also attacked Pres
ident George W. Bush's immigration
proposal, saying it rewards illegal en
try into the United States.
"We believe Bush is wrong," Chair
man larrett White said. "We should
not give amnesty or worker permits
for people who broke the law.
"We should shore up our border
and get these people out."
White said illegal immigrants are
treated badly by their employers.
"It is new-age slavery," he said.
"They're supporting our economy
with slave labor."
College Republican Dean Scrutton
challenged illegal immigrants' loyalty
to the United States.
"Most (illegal immigrants) don't
want to be assimilated," Scrutton said.
"Most don't want our culture and our
language. Most hold allegiances for
other countries that they shouldn't."
College Democrat Brady Miller ad
vocated U.S. Senate Bill 2010 as an al
ternative to Bush's plan. The proposed
legislation would allow illegal immi
grants the chance to stay temporarily
in the United States in exchange for
paying taxes.
"It is a good bill and a good start
and, I think we're moving in the right
direction," Miller said.
The debate, which lasted a little
more than an hour, remained civil.
Even the contentious issue of gay mar
riage failed to ruffle the debaters.
College Democrat Ethan Firpo
took issue with the national leaders
of his party, arguing that civil unions
— a term Democrats have employed
to avoid the controversial question
of marriage — are inadequate. He
said it was "not long ago" that the le
gal principle of "separate but equal"
WWWWMWi
was used to justify segregating blacks
and whites.
"Historically, legally, genetically, it
doesn't make sense not to legalize
this," he said. "We must not leave be
hind a lot of people just for the sake
of cultural comfort."
Scott Austin, a 2000 University
graduate debating for the College Re
publicans, said gay marriage is incom
patible with American values.
"This country was based primarily
on Judeo-Christian values," Austin
said, adding that his position is
"based on religion, it's based on an
understanding of Christian doctrine.
You can reject that, but you can't reject
the history behind it."
Audience members said they were
satisfied with the debate.
"1 just wanted to see what students
had to say about these topics," South
Eugene High School teacher Suzie
Gaffney said. "I was also surprised
that this didn't pull in more people."

TAYLOR'S
continued from page 1
Taylor's is riot what the department
consider^ problem spot.
"We/have no establishment in the
comnjunity that we would consider a
problem'establishment," she said.
Taylor's has "a very different call vol
ume (compared to Rennie's Landing),
and my assumption would be there's
a larger number of people going in.
Clearly, whenever you have an estab
lishment that is attractive to large
numbers of people and alcohol is be
ing served, your risk factors increase."
Hare said doormen form lines out
side to keep the occupancy less than
the 250-person capacity to prevent
conflicts between patrons.
Olshanski said many of the calls
from Taylor's to EPD are for incidents
occurring outside on the street or side
walk, some of which had nothing to
do with the bar.
Taylor's manager Justin Walker said
doormen will often go out on the
street to help contain the situation or
assist police in breaking up fights.
Because the bar is located in a central
location, on the corner of East 13th
Avenue and Kincaid Street, more peo
ple tend to congregate there, resulting
in more conflicts, he said.
Dan Geyer, who has managed
Rennie's Landing for the past 10
years, said Rennie's avoids the "ten
sion" of East 13th Avenue, resulting
in fewer incidents.
Also, Rennie's tries to have enough
employees working to intervene in
fights before they escalate, he said,
adding that the bar has enough space
to spread people out and prevent
overcrowding. Fights often start over
"silly things," like when people bump
into each other or spill their drinks,
Geyer said.
Chris Grow, a business student at
the University, said he has never per
sonally witnessed any altercations at
Taylor's, but he has heard stories
about them in the past.
Alex Nevarez, a senior Spanish ma
jor, said he stopped going to Taylor's
for a variety of reasons, but not be
cause of fighting. Nevarez said he has
seen verbal arguments between drunk
people with "big egos," but he has
never seen a physical fight there. Ol
shanski said Taylor's has a cooperative
relationship with EPD. Employees of
the bar frequently check identification
cards to ensure patrons are 21 and
older, and bartenders have been
known to refuse serving alcohol to in- ^
dividuals who have had too much to
drink, she said. Many of the calls to
EPD came from employees at the bar, t
Olshanski added.
Geyer said since Hare took over at
Taylor's, the establishment has im
proved dramatically.
"It's gotten a lot better than it used
to be. The prior ownership didn't take
nearly the steps that (Hare)'s taken ...
," Geyer said.
Hare agreed, saying there is no
longer a problem with his bar.
"There's not a problem," said Hare,
who has owned Taylor's for about five
years. "It's frustrating that I even have
to adjudicate my name when there's
not a problem."
