Gutierrez: Priest recognized with international honors Continued from page 5 Planners expected 600 people to at tend Gutierrez’s speech; the turnout was so large that the reception planned for after the event was can celed because it would have violated fire codes. Students from various de partments came, as well as members of the Catholic community from Eu gene, Portland, Salem and Corvallis. Conversations in Spanish and English filled the Ballroom as people waited for Gutierrez to begin. Carly Weaver, an international stud ies major, came to hear Gutierrez speak because she had heard about him in some of her classes and was “interest ed in developments around the world.” Gutierrez’s lecture was titled “Bar tolome de las Casas: Justice and Sal vation.” Bartolome de las Casas was a 16th century missionary in Latin America who fought in defense of the native peoples against oppression and exploitation. “There are many relevant lessons for today from Bartolome,” Gutierrez said. Gutierrez founded the Bartolome de las Casas Institute in Lima, Peru. The center is focused on helping the poor of the area and training leaders from among the population. Gutierrez’s theory of liberation calls for liberation for the oppressed poor from social injustice and exploitation, as well as liberation from sin through a personal relationship with God. “We are very close today,” Gutier rez said. “We cannot avoid the big challenge of poverty in the world. It is not only the responsibility of peo ple in the poor countries but for all people, and especially Christians. ” Gutierrez has devoted his life to helping the poor and reforming their relationship the Catholic Church. He has spent most of his life working in Rimac, a parish in the slums of Lima. “To be a part of (the poor) commu nity ... and to have friends is a very beautiful experience,” Gutierrez said. Gutierrez has received several inter national honors for his work, including the Spanish “Prince of Asturias Award for Communications and Humanities” in 2003. The award recognizes scientif ic, technical, cultural, social and hu manistic work. abolsinger@ daily emerald. com MORE ONLINE' The University opera ensemble presented opera scenes at a nearly full Beall Hall on Tuesday.

Von Klein: Free Internet, laundry among amenities Continued from page 1 “There are a lot of students that want to live in an older home with character,” Ellis said. The West University Neighbors association recently endorsed von Klein for the program, and von Klein said although it is not one hundred percent certain the build ing will qualify for the tax exemp tion, the chance of it not qualify ing is too small to hinder the planning process. The tax exemption program benefits the city in the long run, von Klein said, because after the 10-year period ends, both land and property taxes must be paid on the building. “From that point forward it cre ates a nice tax income for the city,” von Klein said. Von Klein, a 1969 University graduate, is working with 1965 graduate Arthur Carmichael on beginning the building’s construc tion by early summer 2005. The building will be located in what is now a parking lot, be tween the Beta Chi fraternity house and a large house with individual rooms for rent. Carmichael was a member of Beta Chi and wants to use some of the architectural aspects of the fraternity house on the new building, von Klein said. “We’re trying to make it fit with the neighborhood,” von Klein said. The Patterson House will con sist of 27 units — three studios, 12 one-bedroom apartments and 12 two-bedroom apartments — Bret Furtwangler | Graphic artist Von Klein’s new apartment building would be built at 979 Patterson St. capable of housing approximately 40 people. Rent will be similar to the Hilyard House, which costs $625 for a studio, between $650 and $795 for a one bedroom and between $795 and $950 for a two bedroom. Free Internet, a washer and dryer and a garbage site located just inside the courtyard are just a few of the conveniences offered, von Klein said. Courtney Hight of the Eugene Citi zens for Housing Standards said higher quality housing like the Patter son House is definitely needed in the campus area, but questioned whether there was a demand for such high-priced housing. University Housing Director Mike Eyster said the Patterson House is a welcome addition to the area surrounding the University Inn and said he doesn’t expect any problems to arise from the added density in the area because of the quality of hous ing built. Ellis also said the Patterson House is unlikely to increase crime rates in the neighborhood. There is always concern that additional residents in the neighbor hood could add to problems with density and subsequent problems with crime, Ellis said, but if crime at the Patterson House is anything like crime at the Hilyard House, the neighborhood has nothing to worry about. “We have no calls for service at the Hilyard House — none,” Ellis said. meghanncuniff@dailyemerald.com -SPizza Pipeline 63 ^ “Subs with Substance” MANIC Monday 14' 1 topping Pizza and 2 24 oz. drinks 824 Charnelton 686"5808 Eugene, OR • 97401 Exp. 11/22/04 80 Sun-Wed Ham - lam Thurs-Sat IIam-2am aBB $49 two-day lift ticket $69 rooms Ak.
