Rumsfeld’s tenure may ride
on stability in Iraq, timing
Defense Secretary Rumsfeld
focuses on damage control
By David Lightman
The Hartford Courant (KRT)
WASHINGTON — When Donald
Rumsfeld was 10, said biographer
Midge Decter, his father gave him
some advice: "If it doesn't go easy,
force it."
That's potentially useful these days
because little is going easy for the Pen
tagon secretary. After two weeks of in
tense focus on the abuses of prisoners
in Iraq, news reports Sunday main
tained Rumsfeld encouraged the kind
of behavior that led to the abuses.
A suicide bomber on Monday killed
the head of the Iraqi Governing Coun
cil. When Congress returns Tuesday,
many Democrats are likely to continue
clamoring for Rumsfeld's resignation
while lots of key Republicans offer him
only conditional support.
Yet he survives, and the chatter is
that unless it's proved that he's direct
ly responsible for something awful or
illegal, he will remain in office.
"He's done better than expected,"
said Marcus Corbin, senior analyst at

APASU celebrates cultural
heritage with performance
Sunday's event put on by
the Asian Pacific American
Student Union features
dancing, singing and video
By Jesse Dungan
Freelance Reporter
Sunday evening in the EMU Ball
room began with a bang — the bang of
drums, that is — as the University cele
brated Asian Pacific American Heritage
Month with an event hosted by the
Asian Pacific American Student Union.
The drums accompanied a tradi
tional lion dance that kicked off an
evening full of performances including
hip-hop, wushu and spoken word.
"For May, we traditionally host one
main event and offer a series of work
shops throughout the month," APASU
co-Director Kit Myers said.
Art major Hanif Panni and English
major Adam Lewis brought audience
members to their feet with a high-en
ergy hip-hop set.
"We're here to have a good time and
accentuate the positive," Lewis said.
The Mango Tribe, a Chicago-based
Asian/Pacific Islander American
women's performance team that spe
cializes in spoken word, provided the
evening's main performance.
"It was really powerful to see APIA
women on stage performing," APASU
co-Outreach Coordinator Jasmin
Thana said.
The Mango Tribe presented
"Bombs and Butterflies," a perform
ance that used singing and dancing to
address issues of cultural identity,
stereotyping and gender relations.
APASU co-Director Lydia Koo said
it is necessary to approach such issues.
"Overall, their performance was
very serious in a good sense," Koo
said. "By bringing awareness of these
issues out, they show how they can be
overcome."
The Mango Tribe performance also
included a collection of visual images
entitled "Hello Kitty is Dead" to show
a representation of the relationship
between American media and Asian
women. The video montage was pro
jected on a screen that hung over the
Ballroom's stage.
"For me, as an Asian woman, these
images reveal things that I already
know, but throwing those images in
your face is a way to alert those who
are not aware," Koo said.

"Getting through the bureaucracy is
a major hurdle and we're not helping,"
she told the Emerald on May 12.
Piercy has garnered support from the
Oregon League of Conservation Voters
and several labor organizations. Piercy,
who emphasizes her statewide political
experience, also has said jobs are a key
issue in the Eugene race.
"I don't think that Eugene has tak
en advantage of ... promoting the
development and long-term growth
of existing and new sustainable busi
ness," Piercy said in a May 13 Emer
ald article. "It seems like Eugene, of
all places,... ought to be really hook
ing into developing sustainable nich
es for this community."
City Council Wards 1, 2, 7 and 8
seats are also on the ballot.
Council President Bonny Bettman,
local real estate broker Tom Slocum
and University student Adam Walsh are
seeking the Ward 1 seat. Bettman is the
incumbent for the ward, which in
cludes most of West Eugene and en
compasses City View Street, Amazon
Parkway, West 28th Avenue and West
7th Avenue along the edge of the
downtown area.
Maurie Denner, a retiring elementary
school principal, is challenging Ward 2
incumbent Betty Taylor. The ward en
compasses areas of Eugene south of
West 28th Avenue
Incumbent Scott Meisner is up
against Andrea Ortiz, a Bethel School
District board member, for the Ward

Lane County Chief Deputy County
Clerk Annette Newingham said about
half of all ballots are usually turned in
between the last weekend before an
election until the deadline. She added
that ballot returns have so far been at
normal levels.
"It's following pretty much the same
pattern we've had in the past," she
said.
Newingham said about 57 percent
of Lane County voters turned out for
the primary election in 2000, and
about 47 percent voted in the 2002
election. She predicts this year's final
returns to be about 50 percent.
