Environmental symposium
examines Measure 37
The University School of Law will
host a symposium today on
Measure 37 and land-use planning
in Oregon.
The symposium, sponsored by
the Journal of Environmental Law
and Litigation (JELL), will include
speakers from two of the most out
spoken groups on the measure. Rep
resentatives from 1000 Friends of
Oregon, a land-use planning advo
cacy group opposed to the measure,
and Oregonians in Action, the group
that authored the measure, will
each participate in the panels.
Panels will focus on the current
litigation process, the government
response to the measure and
land-use issues in Oregon, among
other topics.
Panelists include Oregonians in
Action Executive Director David
Hunnicutt, Bill Moshofsky of Orego
nians in Action and Carrie Mc
Claren, staff attorney for 1000
Friends of Oregon.
Oregon Appeals Court Judge
David Schuman will open the day
by speaking on the initiative process
in Oregon and how the state differs
from others in getting measures on
the ballot. Assistant law professor
Tom Lininger will end the day with
a presentation on a proposed gas
fired power plant in Coburg.
Measure 37 passed last Novem
ber with 61 percent of the vote, re
ceiving a majority in every county
except Benton.
The measure allows land owners
to be compensated when new land
use laws restrict their ability to de
velop their land. Owners can either
be paid by the government or given
a waiver that allows them to devel
op their land as they could have
when it was originally acquired.
Because many governments are
low on funds, waivers have been
the popular choice.
Both sides have planned ballot
initiatives for 2006 to change
the law.
The symposium will be from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. in room 141 of the
Knight Law Center.

Citations: Congestion will be a problem
Continued from page 1A
Horner said DPS is down four of
ficers and a sergeant right now, and
doesn’t want to use resources to is
sue pedestrian citations.
DPS staff shortages are consistent
with current shortages at the Eu
gene Police Department, which is
down 20 positions, Horner said.
“When the economy is good, it’s
hard to recruit officers,” he said.
Last spring, DPS was having the
same problem with pedestrians and
had to spend a week aggressively
enforcing the detours, Horner said.
Last year, signs warning pedestrians
about the fines were posted, but
DPS will not replace them since
they were twice stolen.
No more sidewalk closures are
expected this year, but the educa
tion and music school building proj
ects could start as early as next year.
The building projects could be si
multaneous, in which case parts of
campus “could really be a mess,”
Horner said.
Currently, the path taken by
many students from the residence
halls to the heart of campus is
blocked between Carson and Wal
ton halls for the LLC construction.
Freshman Sammy Rawlins said
that because he wasn’t on campus
before the construction, he’s used to
walking around the fence on his
way to and from Walton Hall.
“I have to go a long way any
way,” freshman Chris Enquist said. *
He lives in Bean Hall, but it would
“be a lot quicker” without the con
struction, he said.

where the sidewalk is currently closed for the construction of the Living Learning Center.
