Law student sues
Mooney over fees
By Jeremy Brown
No one has gone as far as
third-year law student Scott
T•lley in protcs1ing Lewis Sr
Clork's new parking fee.
Talley is 1aking college l'resi­
dcn\ Michael Mooney 10
Multnomah County small
claims court for S 150.
Talky's case alleges 1h•1
Mooney has charged him an
"illegal" parking fee. An of.
fittrf rom 1he county sheriff's
office personally served 110·
tice of the tasc to an assis1:1n1
in Mooney's Manor Mouse
ofOce during the first week of
the semes1er. Mooney is air•
ren1ly on sabba1ical and is
unaware of the case.
In a Jan. 23 tdcphonc in•
1erview, Talley inhially de•
dined 10 discuss specific le·
gal ttrgumcnis. "I don·1 be·
lieve that what !Mooney] is
doing is valid and legal," he
said.
The next day TaUey wrooe
an open leuer 10 the D,.•n ol
1he Law School. James
Huffman, explaining 1ha1 his
argumen\S will be based on
"bargained for exchange. re•
liance, breach of contrac1, and
u nconscionabilh-y ...
Talley bases his suit on a
clai"m thal Mooney's intem in
h1s1i1u1ing a p.irklng fee was
dishonest. "If he did ii to cu1
pa.rking and fund alternatives
to single-occupant vehicles. I
would have no problem with
1he fee." Talley said. "I believe he's arymg 10 pay for addi-
1 ions to the campus and si­
phoning funds 1ha1 should go
loward transponanon alter•
nauves. He's 1mposmg an il­
legal 1ax."
LC adminis1ra.uon officials
question the seriousness of
Talley's claim. Secretary of d,c
College Mrrv)'n Brockell said
he regards the case as a prank.
'"h's an unfonuna1c and trivial
annoyance.'" he smd. "lt's not
some1hing that will devastate
the institution or 1he Presi­
dent."
Dean of ,he Law School
James Muffman said Talley's
claim is rnvolous. ""Frankly,
I'm a bit embarrassed that a
law s1udcn1 is doing 1his."
Huffman said. ·1 think u's an
abuse of I he legal system. h's
purely a political statemen\ LO
harass the prcsiden1 and no
responsible law student or
lawyer would do this."
Huffman has volunteered to
represent Mooney in court if
he is legally pcrmiucd 10 do
so.
Talley defends the legit!•
macy of his case. "I am 1101
just doing \his 10 mess with
him," he said. "l want him to
jlLC';tify his ac1ions."
ht his leucr lO Huffman,
Talley wrote. "As I have ye1

cs\ in siudcm inpu1. small
claims counappcars to be the
only medium 1hrough which

Wixson says he is happy wilh

wi1h the firrnl choice or
Hehkamp, especially because or

However. Wixson he says he is
disappointed 1hat the final
choice was made without com­

According 10 Wixson, Presi­

"'The studcnl input never

\Vlxson said.
Wixson also stated 1htH wi1h­
ou1 consideration of oll 1he srn­

"Ctlcbra1ion for Choice" ban­
que1, rcatunng the 1nsp1nng
Rory of Emily Lyons, a survivor
ohhc faial abonion clinic bomb­
ing in Alabama a year ago today.
Barbara Robcns. the host of
the evening's banquet, gave a
quieting i111roduc1ion for Lyons,
quelling the earlier celebratory
mergy. "She is a mo1her and a
wife." said Roberts, " and a vic-
11m or ha1e and violence. •
As the crowd rose to ilS feet,
Lyons came on siage and began
lo speak, hushing the audience
with her quie1 voice. She asked
bcr hstencrs lo glance around
1hr room, to take pleasure in
what , hey saw, and LO appreci­
ate the smells and sensuality of
living and perceiving. Then she
reques1ecl 1ha1 her audience ,,-----

for nc-arly fUtcen mmUlc-s the
room was nearly silent as Lyons
described in dttail wha1 she ex­
perienced a year ago today. Spar­
ing no detail. she drew out the
sequence of cvcms beginning
wi1h he.r being aware of the hos•
pita! bed. acknowledging incred­
ible pain, and being unable 10
sec or move. When she spoke or
her moments of awareness in the
hospital. she remembers being
called by a differen1 name -for
security reasons. and overhear­
mg nurses discussing the loss of
her left eye. Despite the fact tha,
she knew or her injuries, hear­
ing it in such a fashion really
brough, ii home. Through 1he
rchabilita11on1 and the many
months or emotional and physi­
cal pain. Lyons now looks back
with strcng1h at her experiences. She pointedly 10lcl her hsm,crs
to take a stand against the
"senseless violence" that so tre­
mendously changed her life.
"I could have grown old
graccfolly wi1h a double chin
and wrinkles/ she said in ;in
earlier interview. '"But someone
decided 10 make 1ha1 choice for
me." She adaman1ly reruscs 10
accep1 1ha1 end, asking her au­
chcncc lO remember 1he cause,
and her fight. "'\Ve have a gov­
crnmcn1 for I he people. by I be
people -l'ou arc the people."
As she s1cppcd down from the
podium and the evening came 10
a close the mood did not shift
back 10 the exuberant energy of
ils beginning. but rather waned
into a 1hough1fol, emotionol
tour de force.
V.'ha1evcr 1he resuhing in0u­
ence of her words lo the audi­
ence. Lyons sa,d that if her
s1reng1h brings a new level of
awareness to one person, her
purpose is served. ·s,anding up
for rcproduc1ive rights has be­
come my passion over I he last
year," she said. •1r you don·,
stand up for some1hing, you'll
fall for any,hing. •
Although 1he official evening
is over, 1he impac1 of Lyons'
message remains with several aucndccs. For sornc, the
evening rcamnnccl preconceived
beliefs about the horror of ter­
rorist crime, and 1he s1rcng1h of
the human spirit.
