Officers from the Eugene Police De partment dted Morales for allegedly as saulting University senior Erica Hass ear ly in the morning of Sept. 12 near Taylor's Bar and Grill, at 894 E. 13th Ave. I lass later called police to report Morales had assaulted her. During the police investigation, Hass told an officer that Morales ran at her screaming, shoved her down, dragged her by her ankle for 15 to 20 feet and smashed her cell phone. Morales told police that Hass fell because she was drunk, and he said her cell phone was destroyed because she threw it at him and he threw it back. Both Hass and Morales told police they had been asked to leave Taylor's af ter engaging in an earlier verbal dispute. Morales may face as much as a $500 fine and/or 100 days in jail if found guilty of assault, and a $2,500 fine and/or 100 days in jail if found guilty of criminal mischief in the sec ond degree. The trial, which will be held at 777 Pearl St. in Room No. 104, begins at 1:15 p.m. Contact the people/ culture/faith reporter at jaredpaben@dailyemerald.com RALLY continued from page 1 buffers for those species. Western Environmental Law Center at torney Pete Frost noted that the North west Forest Plan divides old-growth forests into "reserve" and "matrix" areas, and Survey and Manage rules focus specif ically on the survey of old-growth stands. "That standard has been very impor tant in stopping logging in only old growth forests," Frost said. 'This stan dard has really been about preserving up to 400-year-old trees. The Bush ad ministration is proposing to eliminate that standard so that old-growth within the matrix can be logged." Last October, Frost and his firm, which was representing ONRC, won cutty SPAGHETTI A garlic bread *3“ Every Tuesday PIZZA PETE’S 2506 Willakenzie 344-0998 tlooic P/072 2673 Willamette 484-0996 27th and Willamette a case against the Forest Service pro tecting six timber sales — including Straw Devil, Clark, Solo and Borg — across 574 acres of old-growth in the Mt. Hood and Willamette National Forests. It claimed the Forest Service had failed to properly survey for species, such as the red tree vole, un der the Survey and Manage standard. However, without that standard in place, all old-growth forests within 4.5 million acres of public land are at risk for logging, Frost said. Already new en vironmental draft assessments — the precursor to any logging activity — have been released for the six timber sales. Kelley Townsend, a member of the Eugene-based Oregon Forest Research and Education Group, said only 3 to 5 percent of old-growth across the United States remain, adding that any plans to cut in those area are "ridicu lous." "The remaining old-growth in na tional forests are a very finite resource, much better used for public enjoy ment and recreation," he said. "Virtu ally any product made from old growth lumber can be made from small pieces of second-growth timber." While the presence of the red tree vole, an arboreal critter that subsists on Douglas fir needle that is the primary food source for the spotted owl, played a primary role in protecting old-growth forests, Heiken said smaller species of life are just as important as the larger ones. He added that a variety of sala mander, fungi, mollusks, lichen and vascular plants would all become threat ened from the removal of protections.

One banner read "End com mercial logging on public lands." Other people held flowers. Not all at the rally were in agree ment with such sentiments, however. Lane Community College student Jonney Reb said environmental pro tections go too far and affect the eco nomics of workers of the timber indus try far too much. Protesters conducted a mock funeral procession around 9:15 a.m.for the af fected forest species, walking around the block of West Seventh Avenue and High Street to the front of the Federal Building, where they held a eulogy in front of law enforcement officers, who guarded the door and took pictures. Protesters stood in silence as a man named Praxis read a statement he wrote. "The loss of the web of life is pro found, and no doubt the rest of the web will suffer," he said. "The last remaining ancient forests of Oregon are set to fall before the saws of loggers, at the feet of men who have learned nothing in 5,000 years except how to kill more ef ficiently. "Let us each use whatever means we have available to us to ensure that this distraction does not happen, because our liberation is tied up with theirs." University graduate student Thomas Nail said he considered the rally a sym bolic action with two purposes: educat ing the general public and providing an outlet for people to express their frus trations with the decision-makers in in stitutions of power. "I don't see it particularly effecting direct change or legislation," he said. "However, environmental law and demonstrations go hand in hand. One without the other won't be affected." Frost said without civilian survey teams, he could not have won the ONRC lawsuit preventing Straw Devil and other timber sales. "I appreciate what activists do. We couldn't have a strong forest preserva tion movement without activists. I re lied in the Straw Devil case on ONRC volunteers to prove logging was illegal."
