Basic Rights Oregon
speaks to Rainbow Club
TAM OLIVER
A AL Editor
Nerissa Ediza, from Basic
Rights Oregon, spoke to mem
bers of the Rainbow Club on
Feb. 19 regarding a proposed bill
to amend existing state statutes
to include sexual orientation in
the current non-harassment
policy for schools.
The Rainbow Club is Clacka
mas Community College’s sup
port group for gay, lesbian, bi
sexual and transsexual students.
Basic Rights Oregon, an orga
nization that developed from
past “No on 9” and “No on 13”
campaigns, is hoping to get the
Oregon statute that protects Or
egon students from being ha
rassed in regards to race, creed,
religion, age and gender, ex
tended to protect students on
the basis of sexual orientation as
well. Ediza urged students,
friends and family members to
become involved in the active
lobbying that will take place in
Salem.
Anyone who has experienced
harassment in Oregon schools on
the basis of their sexual orienta
tion, and is willing to testify be
fore the state Legislature, is en
couraged to contact Kandi Starr,
Rainbow Club Co-advisor, ext.
2504.

Aries: Today’s the day to get in touch
with your roots. Contemplate where
you’ve come from rather than where
you’re going. Control yourself and fo
cus your primal rage.
Cancer: An atmosphere of love is

your business where it belongs.

cry a lot.

cleanliness. Spruce up around the house
and make yourself more presentable. A
mysterious stranger will cross your path
any day now.
Gemini: Be supportive of your
friends today. They could use a good
shoulder to cry on. However tempt
ing, try not to advise. You’ll just end
up chewing on your own foot.
Virgo: Wrap yourself in the cloak of
serenity. Today, everything will go
without a hitch. When you see some
one in need, be sure to lend them a
helping hand. Make peace with those
who have scorned you.
Sagittarius: The dream you just had
might come true! Not the part where
you’re naked and falling off the cliff,
the other part. Let your spiritual side
guide you to new enlightenment.
Pisces: Be nice. You’ll be tempted to
tell others where to stick it, but perse
