NEWS BRIEF
Book thief gets six years
A 33-year-old man has been sen
tenced to six years in prison for steal
ing library books from the University
of Oregon and selling them on eBay.
Douglas Dale Collver II also bur
glarized and defrauded a bookstore
where he used to work. He faces addi
tional forgery and theft charges in
Linn and Benton counties, according
to court records.
In one case, he staged a bookstore
burglary with his mother, Debra Vail
Meacham, 52, who was sentenced
earlier to probation and a short jail
term, the records indicate.
A search warrant at Collver's apart
ment in Eugene found computer
records showing he had offered hun
dreds of books for sale on the Internet
based auction service and had taken in
about $20,000 in the past year. Not all
die books were stolen. Prosecutors said
some of the books were recovered from
London, Hawaii and Colorado, and the
search for missing volumes continues.
University Library Director Deborah
Carver said Collver's thefts were the first
detected at the University in 15 years.
Lane County Judge Charles Carlson
ordered Collver to pay more than
$25,000 in restitution.
Defense lawyer Michele Bo Victor
asked Carlson on Tuesday to let
Collver attend the state's boot camp
program, but the judge refused.
In a statement to the judge, Collver
said the boot camp program would
help him be a productive citizen and
repay the damage he did.
"1 am missing a few pieces of the
puzzle," he said. "I think it's the way I
think. It's discipline. It's accountability."
In his sentencing, Carlson noted
Collver's long criminal history and re
minded Collver that he was being sen
tenced under the state's repeat property
offender sentencing law. The law man
dates prison time for minor thefts
done by longtime offenders.

liberals" but will be people of "all
types of political affiliations."
"These are not the usual suspects
that you normally see at protests
around town," said Michael Carrigan,
the emcee of the Cozmic Pizza party.
Carrigan said he was encouraged by
the turnout, noting that many more
people showed up for the event than
had actually signed up for it on the
MoveOn Web site.
Eugene resident Sharon Rose said
that she learned of the event after
someone handed her a flyer after see
ing the movie at the Bijou Art Cine
mas Monday afternoon. Rose, who
brought her daughter, grandson and
a friend, said she follows politics
closely and tries to keep her family
and friends involved.
"The movie was very moving and
emotional," Rose said. "It really por
trayed the effects of war through the
eyes of the mothers who have lost
their sons and daughters to war."
Despite the popularity of "Fahren
heit 9/11," which grossed nearly $24
million in the first weekend, the
movie has drawn criticism in the
mainstream media and conservative
talk shows for alleged inaccuracies.
Bill O'Reilly, who hosts a television
talk show on Fox News, claims
Moore's central thesis is "untrue." He
also asks one of his guests if the claims
Moore makes can simply be called
"dissent or does it cross-over into be
ing un-American, unpatriotic?"
Christopher Hitchens, a columnist
for MSN Slate Magazine, wrote
about "Fahrenheit," "To describe this
film as dishonest and demagogic
would almost be to promote those
terms,to. the level of r?^bil^y."
Moore is fighting back on his own
Web site by clarifying statements and
reacting to what he perceives as at
tacks by the mainstream media.
University senior Woody Adams,
said he did not perceive any inaccura
cies after watching the film on Saturday.
"I wouldn't say it was inaccurate,
but it was definitely engineered to cre
ate a reaction," he said. "Moore has an
agenda, and I agree with that agenda."
Kesha Rose, daughter of Sharon
Rose, said that anyone who is looking
for minor details in order to pick
apart the movie "definitely has anoth
er agenda."
There is just so much that cannot be
overlooked in this film," Rose said. "We
have to defeat Bush or we've had it."
