LGBTQA parade advocates
tolerance, acceptance
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, Queer Alliance
showed its pride Wednesday as
members paraded throughout cam
pus to spread a message of toler
ance and acceptance.
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.”

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.

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.
