In a surprise interruption in assis tant professor Peter Warnek’s exis tentialism class, LGBTQA members pulled Joey Macdonald, an ex change student from New Zealand, from the class to join the march. “The people involved did well of presenting their message in a more forceful manner,” Macdonald said. “They really put themselves out there to express the message.” — Brittni McClenahan GIVE ME 51 Run your “for sale" ad (items under $1,000) for 5 days in the ODE Classified Section.

Military: CFPJ sponsors debates to shed light on issues Continued from page 1A were generally ignorant of it. Stahl said CFPJ sponsors debates because previous attempts to bring in speakers or panels of experts to in crease public awareness of important issues had been “conspicuous fail ures” due to an inability to communi cate effectively both sides of the issue. “Jette (Foss) had the idea that that’s what debate teams do,” Stahl said. He said the group presented the idea to the debate team and they enthusiastically accepted it. CFPJ and the debate team have had a debate each term this school year, and the topic for Wednesday’s debate was se lected from a list of possible topics by audience members at the winter term debate. The groups plan to continue the debates next year. About 35 people watched the de bate. Stahl blamed the sunny weath er for the low turnout, saying previous debates had drawn bigger crowds. “I was hoping it would serve as an opening salvo to bring this issue to the University Senate,” Stahl said. He said that military research threatens the in tellectual, moral and philosophical freedoms of the University but that the senators may be reluctant to give up the funding. Junior Taeva Shefler said she at tended the debate to support friends on the team and because she feels passionate about the issue. “I think the military has no place at the University in terms of research or recruitment,” Shefler said. “The more time we spend researching for the military, ... it takes away from research we could do that’s a lot more productive. ” Junior Lucia Black said she had no idea that military research was taking place on campus but she is opposed to military recruitment on campus. “I want to spit when I see it,” she said. evasylwester@dailyememld. com Volcano: Young found eels during his three-day exploration continued from page 1A “I’m sure they’re doing something unique, whether or not they’re a new species.” Young said that the cruise in March and April, when the eels were discov ered, was a three-day reconnaissance tour and that a trip involving eight all day dives will be made in late June and early July. “That’s where we’ll do most of the research,” he said. Most of Young’s research takes place on deep sea dives in locations far from Oregon, including the Gulf of Mexico, the Arabian Sea, the North Atlantic Ocean, the Bahamas and Hawaii. He said undergraduate and graduate students frequently ac company him on his trips. Because of the high number of researchers from other institutions, the only oth er University representative present on the Vailulu’u trip was post-doc toral fellow Sandra Brook, who stud ies coral reefs. “We actually have funding for the students ... that we can’t use because there’s not enough berths for stu dents,” Young said. International collaboration was an important part of the expedition. In addition to scientists from the United States, Young said scientists from Aus tralia and the United Kingdom were also involved. Adele Pile, senior lecturer at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Sydney in Australia, has worked with Young since she was a post-doctoral fellow in his lab from 1997-98 and was co-leader with him on the biology portion of this project. She said in an e-mail that the Aus tralian team’s role in the research in volves understanding the type and di versity of microbes around the volcano and mapping the habitat. “As each of us has a unique set of skills to bring to any project, Craig (Young) as a larval biologist and I as a microbial ecologist, the best way to answer the questions is through col laboration,” Pile said in the e-mail. evasylwester@dailyemerald. com 021916 Firefighters Wanted! $$ Earn money during summer break $$ DON’T PLAY WITH FIRE!
