WOLFE continued from page 1 "Ray has a very real sense of public conscience ... (he) is concerned about keeping the public alerted," he said. Wolfe was most recently involved in organizing a series of interviews for all mayoral and city council candi dates, which were free to the candi dates themselves. Though the pro gram was officially produced by Community Television of Lane Coun ty, Wolfe did the majority of the work, according to Cleveland. Wolfe said he worked on the proj ect because he felt it was a way to "level the playing field" between candidates, adding that television time is expensive and many candi dates can't afford it. Only half the questions were given to the candi dates beforehand, so that experi enced incumbents wouldn't have an unfair advantage over challengers. Wolfe said his reasons for staying so active can be summed up in a quote from Barbara Jordan, the first black woman from the South to serve in the U.S. Congress. "'Government is too important to be a spectator sport,"' he said. "I think that's a classic statement." Contact the people/cuiture/ faith reporter at moriahbalingit@dailyemerald.com.
