Several Clackamas students discuss this year's measures. See page 6 Features Several hundred citizens attend debate Hinkle, Lively present both sides of Measure 9 by Robert A. Hibberd Co-Editor-In-Chief The forum entitled “Homo sexuality, Human Rights and Measure 9” drew several hundred citizens to CCC’s Gregory Fo rum last Wednesday to hear debate, ask questions and listen to answers about the controver sial issue facing voters this Nov. 3. The debate featured two prominent spokesmen, each'rep resenting a different side of the gay rights issue. Past President of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Charles Hinkle, defended his feelings towards human rights while Scott Lively, of the Oregon Citizens Alliance (OCA), discussed his reasons for supporting the effort to label homosexuality as abnormal. “I’m doing this because I think it is imperative that we understand what in the world we are talking about,” said the fo photo by Vivian Johnson Scott Lively, of the OCA; Joe Uris, CCC instructor; and Charles Hinkle, of the ACLU presented a Measure 9 forum at Clackamas last Wednesday. the debaters. “After watching the decline of morality in Oregon, Scott felt compelled to get involved in the process of defending and pro 'Tm doing this because I think it is impera tive that we understand what in the world we are talking about.” --Joe Uris President enjoys getting to know students The President of Clackamas, John Keyser, has a new meet and greet technique that seems to be working well.

Uris then introduced Hinkle as “a native of Clackamas County,” a “graduate of Stan ford University,” an “Ordained Minister in the United Church of Christ” and a “former-President of the ACLU in Portland.” Lively was the first to make an opening presentation. Reused his speaking opportunity to ex plain why Measure 9 exists. “The reason that Ballot Measure 9 is necessary is be cause a special interest group in Oregon, called the Homosexual Lobbyists, has managed over the past many years to gain so much influence over our public offi cials that they have been able to get laws passed that favor their political agenda without the vot ers having an opportunity to have a say in the matter. Measure 9 is an attempt to take back control over our public policy decision making to the people,” explained Lively, Lively then went on to de scribe what he feels is the tactics and actions used by homosexuals to obtain rights. “They are identifying friendly political figures and assisting them to getting into office,” said Lively. “We have a number of public officials who are not acting in the best interest of the state after having been brought into the fold by the Homosexual Lobby. Chiefly among those is Governor Barbara Roberts, whose largest campaign donation in the last election was from the Rights to Privacy Act.” Continued on page 4 River property dedicated as environmental museum by Nobn €.
