My husband was an extra for Emperor
($20 a day for days as long as 12 hours,
but good money for a grad student), and
I watched Grand Tour being fi lmed in the
Shelton McMurphey Johnson House while
pregnant with my fi rst child.
Although the movie Prefontaine (1997),
directed by Steve James, was fi lmed in
Washington state, the actor who played
Pre, Jared Leto, just won the Oscar for his
supporting role in Dallas Buyers Club.

SOLUTION NEEDED
In reply to Gene Okin’s letter [2/20],
drafting the homeless into community ser-
vice against their will, without pay, is slav-
ery. Homelessness needs a solution, not a
punishment.

PIPELINE SHUTDOWN
It was nice to see Tom Giesen’s column
“Game Over” [2/20] discussing oil
depletion in the coming decades. Peaked
energy and climate chaos are two aspects
of the same problem — overshoot.
On Feb. 18, the Alyeska Pipeline
company released the 2013 fi gures for the
Alaska Pipeline, which declined another
2.5 percent last year. Alaskan oil powers
nearly every motor in Oregon, including
those of food delivery trucks. The Alaska
Pipeline’s shutdown is likely to impact
Eugene more than construction of new
pipelines in other time zones.
It was sad to read the article [2/20]
about students condemning Lierre Keith’s
upcoming keynote speech at the PIELC
conference for alleged “transphobia.”
Meanwhile, there’s no student protest
about James Hansen, who promotes
new nuclear power as the supposed
solution to climate change. Hansen cites
ultraconservative Ann Coulter as a source
