that only the Oregon Supreme Court
can make an ultimate determination
on the legality of same-sex marriages.
"Until the Supreme Court rules, we
should abide by the laws of the state
of Oregon — just as we abide by every
other law," Kulongoski said. "Without
the rule of law, our system cannot
function."
Kulongoski said he wants all Ore
gonians to have equal rights as dictat
ed by the Oregon Constitution.
"What is most important to me and
to the people of Oregon is that we en
sure that we foster an environment of
tolerance for all people, regardless of
their race, ethnicity, gender or sexual
orientation," Kulongoski said.
Although he said same-sex mar
riage is not yet legal, Kulongoski indi
cated that it is important "to ensure
that this matter is decided in the most
expeditious manner possible." He
added that marriage licenses do not
ensure equal treatment among gay
people, and he pledged to add princi
ples of equality to state statutes during
the next Legislative session.
Myers' statement came a week after
Kulongoski's request for a review of
existing Oregon laws in response to
Multnomah County's controversial
March 2 decision to become the first
county in Oregon history to issue
same-sex marriage licenses.
University Law Professor Dominick
Vetri called Myers' statement "highly
significant" because it corroborates
the Oregon Legislative Council's and
Multnomah County Counsel's find
ings that prohibiting same-sex mar
riages violates the Oregon Constitu
tion.
"It would be wrong to stop
(Multnomah County) now," he said.
Vetri said he is confident the case
will eventually reach the Oregon
Supreme Court, which he believes
will rule in favor of same-sex mar
riages.
Ideally, Vetri said he would like the
governor and attorney general to ad
vise all counties to start following the
constitution and award same-sex li
censes. He added that the most im
portant issue is to "quickly find a way
to include gay and lesbian people in
(marriage)."
Basic Rights Oregon spokeswoman
Rebekah Kassell said the decision is
significant because it supports Mult
nomah County's ruling that the Ore
gon Constitution does not permit dis
crimination against same-sex couples.
The organization played a key role in
pushing for gay marriage in Mult
nomah County.
"Our reaction wasn't as mixed as
the statement," Kassell said. "We are
feeling very positive about a lot of the
statement, but we are aware that there
may be a legal fight ahead of us."

the apartment through the balcony's
unlocked door, McEachem said. The
officer then went downstairs and
opened the front door for his col
leagues, who proceeded to search the
residence and issue citations.
Eugene Municipal Court Judge
Alan J. Leiman ruled the entry was il
legal because police lacked probable
cause to enter the residence and did
not have a search warrant.
"... The police must be mindful
that there is no 'college apartment' ex
ception to the search and seizure re
quirements," Leiman wrote.
Koleszar said EPD sometimes gives
less credence to the rights of college
students than other adults.
"I think the police are much more
likely to come into a college stu
dent's home than mine/' she said. "I
do think the perception is that stu
dents are lesser citizens or they have
lesser rights."
Tilby said college parties are more
likely to involve minors and that en
tries are based upon evidence of crime
being committed.
Koleszar said EPD officers use "fast
and loose" guidelines regarding when
they can and can't enter residences
without a warrant. The guidelines are
based on the 1998 Oregon case State
v. Jangala.
"Most of the entries are based on
that case, and it has been used by the
police to say that nearly everything is
probable cause and nearly every
thing is exigent circumstances,"
Koleszar said. "I think that the police
enter very readily."
Tilby said police use care when de
termining whether to enter a party.
"Most of the time we don't pick
and choose when we have exigent cir
"I think the police are
much more likely to
come into a college
student's home than
mine. I do think the
perception is that
students are lesser
citizens or they

cumstances," he said. "They're either
there or they're not."
EPD officers justified their entry in
McEachern's case by saying they ob
served minors drinking alcohol on the
balcony, which led them to surmise
that alcohol was being furnished to
minors, according to the police report.
Koleszar said there was no way for
the police to know that the drinkers on
the balcony were minors, however.
"Of course, everybody looks under
21 to them, especially when they're
testifying," Koleszar said.
Koleszar said EPD sometimes
claims exigent circumstances exist
when officers feel evidence is likely
being destroyed inside the residence
or if suspects are trying to escape.
McEachern said in his case, EPD
claimed exigent circumstances existed
because someone inside might have
had alcohol poisoning and been in
need of medical assistance.
"I have serious doubts that that
was why they decided to go in,"
McEachern said.
After Leiman approved a motion to
suppress the illegally gathered evi
dence on June 11, 2003, the prosecu
tor dropped the charges against
McEachern.
McEachern said he was happy to
have the charges dropped and won't
pursue the matter further.
However, students with police-re
lated concerns can contact the Eugene
Police Commission, which is affiliat
ed with the city of Eugene.
Eugene Police Commission Coor
dinator Jeannine Parisi said the com
mission would be happy to hear citi
zens' concerns.
"They tend to be real responsive if
they hear from a couple people with
the same issue," Parisi said.
