The Jefferson Exchange show

Summary: <p>The Jefferson Exchange: May 7, 2013, Hour 1:</p><p><b> <span class="headlinetext">Dalai Lama in Eugene</span> </b><br><br> Matthew Knight Arena at the University of Oregon is usually a venue for basketball games, but if the <a href="http://sakyausa.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Dalai Lama</strong></a> wants to speak in Eugene, why not use Matt Court?  The Tibetan spiritual leader will indeed speak in Eugene on Friday, and we'll get a preview of the event and what it took to bring it together.</p><p>+</p><p><b> <span class="headlinetext">Caveman Sunset?</span> </b><br><br> When one of your best-known natural features is a series of caves, it only makes sense to publicize the connection.  Thus Josephine County long celebrated the presence of the <a href="http://www.nps.gov/orca/historyculture/oregon-caves-cavemen.htm" target="_blank"><strong>Oregon Caves</strong></a> with human and inert representations of cavemen... fur clothing, heavy club and all.  But now that the caveman statue at the north end of Grants Pass could use some care, members of the community are wondering aloud if the old boy should simply be retired.  Oregon Cavemen member Hank Geiske brings us up to date on the discussion.</p>
