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. —Chris Hagan 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. esmith@ daily emerald, com Tim Bobosky | Photo editor A student and some visiting friends walk past the pedestrian detour sign on 15th Avenue, where the sidewalk is currently closed for the construction of the Living Learning Center.
