The Oregon Rare Books Initiative was begun three or four years ago. By a couple of colleagues here at oregon. Its aim is to increase the use of the rare book and special Collections Archives among faculty and students and in the classroom here at the university of oregon. The initiative was founded in 2013. Colleagues, including myself, have been upstairs in the vault where these rare books are stored, along with librarians, including bruce tabb wlorks have helped us to find , who have helped us to find books we did not know we owned. The been a rediscovery of some of the amazing rare and collectible books that have been here often since the early 19th century, and were using them in our research and classes in a way that we hadnt for several decades. When we invite a visiting scholar to come give a talk here, we encourage that person to consult in our collection upstairs and find some of the rare books that he or she has worked on and that are of interest in that field.

Okay, so, she says dark and early but its going to be ind of dark for a lot of the bay, isnt it . Not a lot of sunshiny, blue skies. Rainbows and lollipops. You guys expect a lot sometimes. We have increasing cloud cover today. You may need the sunglasses from time to time as the cloud cover will filter the sunshine. Yes, but it wont be bright and blue like it was yesterday, plus we have hazy conditions this morning, the airport up in santa rosa, quarter mile visibility. You can see up towards windsor river boulevard towards Airport Boulevard towards 101, thick fog. It is a spare the air, wood burning illegal.

The District Office is much smaller than it was yesterday, maybe 50, 60 people, half of what we saw yesterday. But the real impact is the number of absences. District was working on the total from yesterday, and is giving that number in a half hour. Well get that to you later.

We want to show support and were watching and were giving hope more than anything. Reporter march began on the exact spot where exactly one week ago today, mike brown was killed. As the group huddled to pray in the pouring rain, 40 fbi agents were in the background, canvassing the neighborhood hoping to find new witnesses who may be afraid to talk to local police.

That is not what we are here for. Were here too make a stand. We had a brother who was killed
