EWEB

insurance company spared him the
entire cost of repairs, he was still
forced to pay a $600 deductible.
Feeling the pangs of injustice, the
two cash-strapped students appealed
to the Eugene Water and Electric
Board, the public agency that owns
and manages the pipe, for compensa
tion. Both Kingsbury and Cohen
called EWEB the day after the inci
dent, only to find Teresa Siemanows
ki, the management assistant of the
Finance Department, was absent.
"I was on vacation," Siemanowski
said. She added that her absence did
not in any way hinder the processing
of the claims. However, it took both

students more than a month to settle
their cases.
The students' claims were directed
to Cascade Claims, a private claims
company that Siemanowski said
EWEB has contracted with.
"I just found out they're
covering $400 of it, and
that was hard to get.
...It's been over a month
of paperwork. It'sjust
been really irritating "
Laura Kingsbury
Junior English major
"Often times (Cascade Claims)
will do the field investigation," she
said. "It varies when and why we
would use them."
Cascade Claims, after performing
the investigation, found EWEB not re
sponsible for the break.
'They claim they didn't know it was
going to break," Kingsbury said.
As per this policy, the two students
were left empty-handed.
"As a public agency, we only pay for
damage we are liable for," Sie
manowski added.
Cohen and Kingsbury then con
sulted a lawyer with ASUO Legal Ser
vices, who advised them to submit
claims. According to Kingsbury, "As
soon as we submitted claims, they
were really nice about it."
In their claims letters, the two men
tioned their status as cash-strapped
college students. Cohen also men
tioned in his letter that an EWEB offi
cial had pledged to pay for damage in
a television interview.
The appeal worked, and while nei
ther received the full compensation
for the damage, both received approx
imately half of their bill.
"It was a compromise, which is
fine," Cohen said. EWEB agreed to
pay for his $600 deductible.
Kingsbury took the process a step
further than Cohen and appealed
once again, and EWEB agreed to pay
$400 to help with repairs, more than
half the damage. But she said the
process of getting compensation was
very frustrating.
"I just found out they're covering
$400 of it, and that was hard to get,"
she said. "It's been over a month of pa
perwork. It's just been really irritating."

TROOPS

political protest of the war; instead, it
was simply meant to honor the
troops, he said.
"The way to honor the dead is to
not try to make some political argu
ment," Adan said. "There are other
times and places to do that... This is
really a very solemn occasion, and
we're not reading these names with
anything but sadness and remorse."
Adan said the readings seemed ap
propriate in light of the Bush
administration's efforts to diminish
media attention to the war's casual
ties, especially by restricting photo
graphs of the coffins of dead soldiers.
The Concerned Faculty for Peace
and Justice, which was formed before
the first war in Iraq in 1990, has be
tween 30 and 50 devoted members,
Adan said. The group plans to do a
reading every Friday at noon in front
of the University Bookstore and in
vites those passing by to take part.
