Mark Moore wants to serve pints of local beer at his Subway restaurant on Southwest Simpson Avenue in Bend, and he wants customers who agree to call the chain's corporate headquarters in support. "Craft beer is part of the Bend experience," he said. "I love Subway, but I started thinking, why can't people have some of that same experience at a fast-food restaurant?"

Moore would like to offer four local brews on tap on a rotating basis, as well as 22-ounce bottles. He applied for a liquor license, which requires Moore to get corporate approval and a revised franchise agreement, said Christie Scott, public affairs specialist for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. But Subway headquarters told him absolutely not, he said. Then, however, he was askeda series offollow-up questions. SeeSubway/A4

EDITOR'SCHOICE
'FratPAC'
lobbies against hazing bill
Wayne Tolosa, CEO of the California-based security technology company Future Concepts, felt he had an obligation to make an impact after the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Conn. "Schools became our focus because schools are important," Tolosa said. "We need to protect our kids." Future Concepts came to the Bend Police Department on W ednesday to discuss the possibility of installing its security systems in Bend area schools. "We're not endorsing this, but rather it caught the police department's inter-
est," said police Chief Jeff Sale. "Now, we wanted to present it to the public for feedback, questions and concerns." The system, called Nexar SOS, uses emergency buttons located in each classroom to remotely lock and secure classrooms. When an emergency button is pushed, cameras turn on to show local authorities the situation in the school. Police are given access to the overheadspeaker system tospeak to the potential shooter. Lights inside and out of the classrooms indicate the status of the students inside or the situation outside — green means the coast is clear, red means that it is not, and blue means a medical emergency.

Harrison Kowiak was 19 years old when he died after schoolmates pummeled him on a pitch-black field in Hickory, N.C. It was part of a fraternity hazing. Determined to protect other students, Kowiak's mother Lianne devoted herself to fighting hazing. She thought she had a powerful ally in U.S. Representative Frederica Wilson, who calls herself the "Haze Buster" and backed Florida's tough anti-hazing law as a member of the state Legislature in 2005. Standing beside Wilson at a Capitol Hill news conferencein September, Kowiak helped display a 10-foot-long banner that read "Hazing Kills" and depicted a cemetery. As Wilson vowed to deny financial aid to students who engage in hazing, Kowiak applauded.What Kowiak didn't know was that, behind the scenes, the fraternity industry's political arm, known as "FratPAC," had been pressing Wilson to back off. As of Thursday, 19 months after Wilson first promised an anti-hazing bill, she hasn't filed one. The industry's lobbying is "disgusting," Kowiak said in an interview. "What are the priorities here'?" They "should be to stop hazing so none of our youth have to go through it." See FratPAC /A5

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is preparing to take fresh legal action in a string of voting rights cases across the nation, U.S. officials said, part of a new attempt to blunt the impact of a Supreme Court ruling that the Obama administration has warned will imperil minority representation. The decision to challenge state officials marks an aggressive effort to continue policing voting issues and will likely spark a new round of politically contentious litigation that could return consideration of the 1965 Voting Rights Act to the highest court. Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to intervene in a Texas redistricting case Thursday follows a ruling by the court last month that invalidated a critical section of the historic legislation. The justices threw out the part of the Voting Rights Act that determined which states with a history of discrimination had to be granted Justice Department or court approval before making voting

law changes. Holder's action was praised by civil rights groups but harshly criticized by Republicans on Capitol Hill and in Texas, where Gov. Rick Perry said it demonstrated the Obama administration's "utter contempt" for the U.S. Constitution. SeeVoting/A4
