University students applying for federal
financial aid who have gotten in trouble with
the law for marijuana face a quandary: How
should they answer question 31 on the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid, which
asks, “Have you ever been convicted of
possessing or selling illegal drugs?”
What they should answer depends on whom
you talk to.
People who have been cited for possession of
less than an ounce of marijuana in Eugene,
Corvallis and some other cities may not be
legally obligated to answer yes because they
received municipal violations, not state or
federal convictions, a Eugene police officer and
a local attorney said.
The Emerald previously reported that
students convicted for possession of less than
an ounce of marijuana who answer yes to
question 31 will lose their financial aid.

Divisive display sparks
campus controversy
A display in the EMU Amphitheater likening
abortion to genocide drew varied protesters
BY JARED PABEN
NEWS EDITOR
controversial
national
group stirred intense debate and incited protests
at the University on Wednesday
when it erected displays on campus with large photographs of
mutilated bodies of genocide victims next to photos of mangled
aborted fetuses.
Group members and signs
equated abortion and genocide.
The Genocide Awareness
Project, which routinely draws
demonstrations and sometimes
arrests, held displays in the EMU
Amphitheater during the first
day of its two-day University
visit. It was the first time the
project, sponsored by the Center
for Bio-Ethical Reform, has visited
the University in six years.
Protesters
from
various
campus groups called the large
public displays insensitive and
offensive, and those interviewed
said comparing abortion to
genocide is bogus and trivializes
A
UO Republicans
resign from group
Several members of the
College Republicans, including
the group’s chairman-elect for
next year, have resigned or
actual instances of genocide.
But project organizers said the
images are not intended to
offend but are meant to show
people the real results of abortion. The definition of genocide
makes the crime comparable to
practicing abortion, which kills
innocent humans, they said.
A student at Western Washington University early last week was
arrested by campus police on
charges of jumping a fence and
damaging six of the project’s
signs, The Western Front
newspaper reported. The Emerald
reported in October 1999 that no
incidents of violence occurred
here that year, but that the
previous year students at Ohio
State University were arrested for
attempting to kick down the
displays and slash them
with knives.
The project, which the College
Republicans brought to campus,
is so controversial that several
members of that group protested
it on Wednesday. The ASUO
Women’s Center held a march
and students held protest signs
outside the EMU throughout
the day.
Darius Hardwick, a co-organizer of the project, said the group
insists on erecting large graphic
displays in public places because
it finds that method the most
effective at getting the point
across. Holding a forum in a
room wouldn’t reach the general
population, he said, adding that
dropped out after the group’s
Executive Board decided to
bring
the
controversial
Genocide Awareness Project
to campus.
Several members of the
College Republicans went so far
as to protest the event, which
equated abortion to genocide
by using images of genocide
victims’ bodies next to images
of aborted fetuses.

Coup survivor tells of life as peace activist
Robert Arroyo, a UO Ph.D. candidate from Chile,
talked about the effect a 1973 coup had on his life
BY LESLIE WAARA
FREELANCE REPORTER
ZAC GOODWIN | PHOTOGRAPHER
Robert Arroyo, Ph.D. candidate, speaks of his experiences in his native Chile
after a 1973 coup d’etat.
Coups d’etat in Chile in the
1970s forced international student
Robert Arroyo into hiding three
times and eventually inspired him
to join a human rights group in
which he helped uncover graves to
identify the dead.
Arroyo gave his presentation,
“Love Against Forgetting: In
Solidarity Against Hate,” entirely
in Spanish with a translator who
spoke English.
“I want to start this presentation
by saying that this experience isn’t
something that I have studied, but
I have lived,” Arroyo said through
the translator.
Arroyo was born in Temuco,
Chile, and grew up in a neighboring
town called Valdivia. Military
coups occurred in the 1970s in the
wake of foreign investment
withdrawals in the Chilean
economy. Arroyo lived through a
military coup invasion of Chile’s
capital, Santiago, on Sept. 11,
1973, when he was 14 years old.

ROBERT ADAMS | ILLUSTRATOR
“Hey Dad — I’m all out of political capital. Could I borrow a few bucks?”
Democrats will unify America
Should everyone have access to
health care? Or just those with high
paying jobs? Should every student
be allowed to go to college? Or just
those with rich parents?
I believe Americans can agree
these opportunities should be
afforded to everyone, regardless of
income. What could be more
important to our country than
ensuring that all children have
access to education and health care?
Maybe the environment is the most
important issue facing our country.
Perhaps energy independence is
most critical. If we are taking our
cues from President Bush and this
administration, none of these issues
is very pressing.
Last week I wrote about how this
president and the Republican
Congress inherited a united country
after Sept. 11. Rather than bringing
us together, they chose to drive us
apart. Whether it’s gay marriage,
affirmative action, immigration or
Terri Schiavo, it seems there is no
wedge issue too divisive for the
president to use for partisan gain.
Conservatives tend to counter
this claim with rhetoric saying
Democrats have no plan for
America’s future. It’s true that in the
past the Democrats have not done a
good job of illustrating their
vision to the American people.
When the Democrats take over control of the house in November, their
stated mission will be to
reunite the American people around
common goals.
Everyone agrees that students
should be provided with the
opportunity to go to college. In the
20th century we guaranteed all
young adults access to a good high
school education. It will be the goal
of Democrats to ensure that we
provide access for all students to
BEN LENET
APPLY LIBERALLY
attend college in the 21st century.
While Republicans have made
empty promises, the cost of tuition
has risen by 40 percent in the last
six years of their control. The very
next day after the State of the
Union address where President
Bush committed himself to higher
education, he cut student loans by
$12 billion. No longer should it be a
privilege of the rich to attend
a university.
It’s unifying ideas like this that
Americans can rally around rather
than rallying against each other.
Democrats will also commit
themselves to providing health care
for every working citizen. In the
1960s, we created Medicare and
Medicaid to provide health coverage
for seniors and poor people. In the
21st century, Democrats will fight to
ensure that if you work, you get
health care. Rather than working
toward this collective goal, the
president continued to signs bills,
written by the pharmaceutical
industry, that have resulted in the
nine million people losing their
health insurance since 2000.
Americans
overwhelmingly
support efforts to reduce our
dependence on foreign sources of
oil. This is yet another example of an
issue where Americans stand united
in their desire to see real change.
However, despite the president’s
confession of our country’s
“addiction to oil,” the last six
years have brought no tangible
improvements while gas prices
have nearly doubled. When
Democrats take control of Congress
in November they will commit
themselves to creating a hybridbased economy that creates jobs,
while decreasing our reliance on oil
from foreign sources.
Even today, College Republicans
Chairman Anthony Warren is
hosting an exhibit on campus
showing pictures of fetuses next to
photographs from the Holocaust that
attempt to equate abortion with
genocide. Does this seem like the
effort of a party trying to bring us
together or drive us apart? I truly
believe the issues that unite us are
far greater than those that
divide us. But rather than focusing
on the uniting issues, the Republican
leadership is choosing to drive us
apart by diverting attention toward
wedge issues like gay marriage and
Terri Schiavo. Democrats, however,
will bring us together by attacking
the issues that we all see as most
pressing. As the president says so
frequently, “now is a time for unity.”
Clearly, the issues Americans are
capable of unifying around are
education,
health
care,
the
environment and energy independence. It is obvious now that after six
years the Republican majority is still
not prepared to step up, handle
these issues and unite our country.
This November, all of us are faced
with one decision: Do we want
change, or more of the same?
Together, America can do better.

OREGON DAILY EMERALD LETTERS POLICY
Letters to the editor and guest commentaries are encouraged, and should be sent to [email protected] or submitted at the Oregon Daily Emerald office, EMU Suite 300. Electronic
submissions are preferred. Letters are limited to 250 words, and guest commentaries to 550 words. Authors are limited to one submission per calendar month. Submissions should
include phone number and address for verification. The Emerald reserves the right to edit for space, grammar and style. Guest submissions are published at the discretion of the Emerald.
Nothing makes for a great morning on
campus like seeing massive pictures of bloody
fetuses, piles of emaciated Holocaust victims,
and lynching victims. Such a scene greeted
students Wednesday thanks to the Genocide
Awareness Project, a controversial national
effort that tours campuses equating abortion
with genocide.
We agree with opponents of GAP that the
project’s shock value outweighs its merit as a
persuasive tool.
Freedom of speech on campus is invaluable,
and we applaud all individuals involved for
exercising their rights peacefully. We also
support a woman’s right to make choices about
her own body, and we realize that neither
poignant editorials nor giant, gory displays,
realistically, will convince people to change
their stances on abortion.
The vulgar nature of this particular display,
however, is clearly demonstrated by the
presence of College Republicans at the protest
against GAP. College Republicans Chairman
Anthony Warren reserved the amphitheater for
the group, apparently without the knowledge
of other group members. Although Republicans
often oppose abortion, apparently these scenes
were too stomach-churning and morally
offensive to justify.
We must also compare this display to those
used by other causes. When groups have
protested the war in Iraq, a few individuals
have held pictures of decaying corpses and
charred Iraqi citizens. Yet they have generally
exhibited more respect for the dead.
Moreover, the pictures are not effective
because they do not address the core of the
abortion debate. Abortion is not legal because
U.S. citizens enjoy the idea of dead babies;
abortion is legal because state and federal law
has evolved to honor the privacy rights of
women and their ability to determine whether
to terminate a pregnancy in its early stages.
Regarding privacy, we certainly hope that the
mothers of the fetuses pictured in the
photographs, if they are truly aborted fetuses
and not the results of miscarriages, consented
to the use of these images.
We are compelled to point out that although
scientists have long researched links between
induced abortions and breast cancer — another
GAP scare tactic — a review of relevant
literature by more than 100 experts organized
by the National Cancer Institute in February
2003 “concluded that having an abortion or
miscarriage does not increase a woman’s
subsequent risk of developing breast cancer,”
according to the NCI Web site.
We must also question the validity of GAP’s
claims. According to its Web site, “almost 4,000
times a day, we are a nation that responds to
the difficult circumstances of ‘unwanted’ pregnancy with violence rather than compassion.”
However, Centers for Disease Control statistics
show that about 2,300 abortions were
performed per day on average in 2002. That is
still a regrettable number, and it demonstrates
the need for continued education about
contraceptive methods wisely promoted by
groups such as Planned Parenthood.
The protesters should be especially ashamed
of themselves for deciding to flood students
with pictorial reminders of such events as the
Holocaust. Historical genocides are, for many
students, painful events that have affected
their families.
In the interest of creating a campus where
multiple viewpoints are debated in a mature
fashion, abortion opponents should denounce
shock tactics and concentrate their efforts on
civil dialogue with students.

New group files grievance against Insurgent
Students of Faith formed in response to what it called
the publications ‘slanderous speech’ against Christians
BY SUSAN GOODWIN
NEWS REPORTER
Ninety-one students filed a joint
grievance with student government
Friday against The Insurgent in
response to anti-Christianity articles
and illustrations published in its
March issue.
The grievance, organized by the
recently formed coalition Students of
Faith, alleges that the content was
“discriminatory, knowingly false,
slanderous and egregious.”
ASUO Programs Administrator
David Goward said Wednesday that
he had not ruled on the grievance
because he was waiting for input
from University General Counsel
Melinda Grier.
Last month, Goward ruled against
a similar grievance filed by student
Zachary White because he said The
Insurgent didn’t break any University
or ASUO rules.
Members of The Insurgent could
not be reached for comment
Wednesday about the latest grievance.
The Insurgent’s recent edition
included several articles critical
of Catholicism and Christianity,
cartoons satirizing Jesus’ crucifixion
and a centerfold picture depicting an
aroused Jesus in a nude embrace
with another man.
Students of Faith formed “in
response to the recent escalation of
religious intolerance at the University
or Oregon,” according to a May 4
press release from the group.
“As a publicly funded student
group, the Insurgent does not have
the protection of unlimited free
speech that is bestowed upon private
organizations,” according to the
press release.
The grievance asks that The
Insurgent publicly apologize for “the
slanderous speech and images,”
promise never to “discriminate in
such a hateful and angry manner
toward any religious group,” and revise its mission statement to include
“protection against discrimination”
toward all religions.
“We hope to settle this issue
promptly and justly,” the press
release says. “However, if the
University and the ASUO continue to
deny wrongdoing on the part of the
Insurgent, we will appeal those
decisions. We have a team of five
local attorneys working on our behalf
who are committed to resolving
this issue.”
The coalition was started by
members of the St. Thomas More
Newman Center, a Catholic campus
ministry, according to Michael
Tarascio, who attends the center.
The petition includes signatures
from members of student organizations such as the Black Student
Union, Christus House, MEChA and
Alpha Omega.
Freshman Philomena Ivezic, who
signed the petition, said she opposed
her student fees being used to help
fund The Insurgent, which received
$18,349 in incidental fees this year.
She does not want her money to go
toward a group that offends any race,
religion or socioeconomic class,
she said.
“I don’t think free speech should
be suppressed, but that doesn’t mean
what people say will be right, or
inoffensive, or that they shouldn’t be
ostracized for it,” Ivezic said.
The grievance states that The
Insurgent violated three University
policies: discrimination, fabrication
of information and separation of
church and state.
The grievance states that The
Insurgent is a part of the University
by virtue of its ASUO recognition, its
use of student-funded incidental fees
and its access to University facilities
and equipment.
However, the University doesn’t
recognize The Insurgent as a
University group. Officials state that
ASUO recognition is not the same as
University recognition and therefore
the University can neither control nor
reprimand The Insurgent.
“Similarly, receipt of incidental
fees or the ability to request that
incidental fee money be used for
certain expenses do not make an
organization part of the University,”
wrote Randy Geller, director of policy
and legal affairs in the General
Counsel’s Office, in an e-mail to
the Emerald.
“Under state law, incidental fees
may be expended for ‘programs
found to be advantageous to the
cultural or physical development of
students,’” Geller wrote. “The
program need not be part of the
University. ... Access to University
facilities and services is not
necessarily predicated on being part
of the University.”
Members of The Insurgent staff
accused the University of censorship last month after the it refused
to mail issues as it had done in the
past. University officials said the
decision to hold the issues
was related to postal regulations
and was not related to the
publication’s content.
“The Insurgent may be granted
access to University facilities but is
not permitted to use the University’s
non-profit bulk mailing permit
because of U.S. Postal Service rules,”
Geller wrote.
The Insurgent’s controversial issue
garnered national attention in April
when William Donohue, president of
the Catholic League, wrote letters
criticizing the issue to University
President Dave Frohnmayer, Oregon
Gov. Ted Kulongoski, state legislators
and the chancellor of the Oregon
University System, according to the
Catholic League’s Web site.

Government pays for catching salmon predators
BY JEFF BARNARD
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHINOOK LANDING, Ore. — On
his first cast of the season, Jim
Walker pitched a lure resembling a
baby salmon into the dark green
waters of the Columbia River and —
BAM! — hooked a 24-inch fish with a
$4 bounty on its head.
But alas, “we didn’t hook another
one all day,” the 73-year-old
retiree said.
It may not always be easy, but
fishermen who can fill their coolers
can also fill their pockets — some
getting nearly $40,000 — for helping to
control the most voracious predator of
baby salmon in the Columbia Basin,
the northern pikeminnow.
To help make up for the harm done
to salmon by the government’s
hydroelectric dams in Washington,
Oregon and Idaho, the Bonneville
Power Administration is paying a
bounty of $4 to $8 for each northern
pikeminnow caught, as long as it is at
least nine inches long.
There are also more than 1,000
specially tagged bonus fish worth $500
each scattered through the 450 miles of
the lower Columbia and Snake rivers
to attract more fishermen and
help biologists gauge the effect of
the bounties.
Fishermen have to turn in the
pikeminnows to claim the bounty. The
fish are then ground up into
fertilizer. (Pikeminnows are not good
eating; they are bony and the flesh is
mushy and has little flavor.)
Over the years, federal, state and
local governments have offered
bounties on such creatures as coyotes,
gophers, crows, skunks and swamp
rats known as nutria. But this is
believed to be the only federal bounty
now being offered for fish.
Folks who really work at it, 12 to 18
hours a day and seven days a week,
can gross $20,000 during the
May-to-October season. Two of the
1,800 people who collected bounties
last year got paid close to
$40,000 each.
“It does take a lot of work, and it
does take some knowledge to really
catch them consistently,” said Tim
Caldwell, 46, who was 10th on the
money list with $19,084 for 2,425 fish,
two of them bonus fish. “I’m after it for
the money.”
Caldwell has been bounty fishing
since the program started in 1991, fulltime since he sold his gas station and
tackle shop three years ago. His best
day was 141 fish, but when he got
home he was as tired as he has ever
been in his life, having gotten up at 2
a.m. and fished until 10 p.m.
“For some people this gets pretty
competitive,” he said. “There’s been
problems with people where they
want to fight over spots to fish. I mean
bad enough to get the police
involved. I’ve actually had my
life threatened.”
The “sport reward fishery” — the
folks running the program do not like
the term “bounty” — brought in
241,000 northern pikeminnows
last year.
“A bounty is when you are trying to
exterminate a species,” said Russell
Porter, spokesman for the Pacific States
Marine Fisheries Commission, which
coordinates the program for the BPA.
“We’re not trying to do that. We’re
trying to restructure it.”
The dams slow down the river and
bunch up the salmon, giving the
pikeminnows a better shot at dinner.
Also, the young salmon that go
through the dams’ turbines or over the
spillways are sometimes stunned,
making them easier prey.
Researchers found that of all the big
fish eating little salmon as they migrate
to the ocean, the northern
pikeminnow was the champ, far
out-gobbling smallmouth bass and
walleye. A big pikeminnow — they
max out about 25 inches — will eat a
half-dozen baby salmon a day.
Now the BPA spends $3.8 million a
year keeping them in check.
That has not been enough to keep
14 populations of Columbia Basin
salmon and steelhead off the
threatened and endangered species
lists, but it helps.
Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife biologist Tom Friesen figures
bounty fishing has reduced the
number of salmon gobbled up by
pikeminnow by 22 percent. That
translates to about 3.8 million more
baby salmon per year.
A 2004 economic impact report prepared for the Pacific States Marine
Fisheries Commission estimates the
extra fish generate $2.7 million to $9.9
million and 446 jobs from
Alaska to California.

Drugs: State marijuana-possession laws vary
“Mulligan aligns with students’ best interests”

As Ward 3 City

• Environmental
• Stewardship
• Livable City.

pal violations do not count toward a
student losing his or her aid.
“Right now, we don’t have any
precedent,” she said. “It could be that
they intended to reach municipal
courts.”
Koleszar said that most cities in
states that have decriminalized marijuana use the state law as a penalty.
“Each municipality is allowed to
adapt its own ordinance,” she said,
adding that some choose not to.
Regardless of how lenient a state’s
marijuana laws are, a person convicted under the state law will lose his or
her eligibility for aid.
Koleszar also said bringing
attention to the issue might spur the
federal or municipal government into
action that would make University
students subject to harsher penalties
“When enough people find their
way around (a law), that loophole
closes,” Koleszar said.
“I’m mainly concerned about the
rule morphing,” she said. “I just
think it’s harsh.”
University Director of Student
Financial Aid Elizabeth Bickford said
the FAFSA provision only applies to
students convicted of state or federal
crimes but would not say definitively
whether possession of less than an
ounce as a city violation disqualifies
a student.
“It really comes down to the
individual situation,” she said.
Bickford said she did not have
access to what types of convictions
were and were not considered state
or federal crimes.
“The individual should know
whether they had a state or federal
conviction,” she said. “Only he’s
gonna know that answer.
“It’s hard to get the FAFSA form
right, but there are questions that you
know the answer to,” she said.
Bickford said that this year only
two University students are ineligible
to receive aid, and a third student is
ineligible for part of the year because
of drug convictions.
“Our focus is how to help students
who find themselves in that situation
to regain their eligibility,” she said.
“The reality is it’s pretty clear what you
need to do in order to get eligibility.
There’s not really much of a gray area.”
Kevin Slimp, assistant city
prosecutor for Omaha, Neb., said
possession of less than an ounce is a
state conviction.
“Everywhere I’ve seen, they’re done
under the state statute,” Slimp said.
Craig Munier, director of scholarships and financial aid at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said the
way students should respond to
question 31 “gets very complicated
very quickly.”
“We’re not lawyers, so we don’t
attempt to advise on that question,” he
said.
Munier said eliminating students’
aid is mean-spirited and counterproductive because it punishes students
for past mistakes. He said that no one
wants to confront the law because no
government officials want to appear
to be in favor of drug felons.
Only one federal representative
contacted by the Emerald commented on the issue, and none would say
why municipal violations were not
included in the law.
Ryan Taylor, spokesman for
Wyoming Republican Sen. Mike
Enzi, chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor
and Pensions, wrote in an e-mail that
“we’re not totally sure why
municipal citations weren’t included.”
The original Aid Elimination Provision of the Higher Education Act, authored by Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind.,
and passed in 1998, barred all students convicted of any drug crimes
from receiving financial aid.
Souder spokesman Martin Green
previously told the Emerald that the
law proved unenforceable because
the
Clinton
administration
misinterpreted it.
In February 2006, Congress
changed the provision to apply only
to students convicted while receiving
aid. A later bill that would have
eliminated the provision was sent to
a subcommittee, where it remains.
Green did not return Emerald calls
inquiring why the law does not
include municipal citations.
Valerie Smith and Stephanie
Babyak, two spokeswomen for the
U.S. Department of Education, would
not comment about how students
should answer the question.
“Congress wrote the provisions in
the law. The U.S. Department of Education merely implements the law as
congress directs,” Babyak said.
IN BRIEF
said, referring to the ads run by
Mannix. “At some point, you have to
respond by saying, ‘Enough
is enough.’”
It could be a risky strategy,
especially because there’s a third
candidate in the race whose more
upbeat ads could attract disenchanted voters.
State Sen. Jason Atkinson, who
has run a relatively low-budget
campaign touting himself as a “fresh
face” in the race, has launched his
first TV ad. In it, he talks about a $10
donation he got from a 78-year-old
woman who urged him to make
Oregonians “proud again.”
The southern Oregon lawmaker
says he’s gotten calls and letters from
people around Oregon thanking him
for “staying positive” in his uphill
fight for the GOP nomination.
“People say to me, ‘Finally, a
candidate we can believe in,’”
Atkinson says.
lumps the casino issue together with
health care and education.
The advertisement by Oregonians
Against Off-Reservation Casinos was
funded by the Confederated Tribes of
the Grand Ronde. It attacks Kulongoski as a “do-nothing governor” on
health care and schools, saying the
state needs better leadership on those
issues, “not new casinos.”
Lisa Grove, a Kulongoski campaign
spokeswoman, called the ad “false
and misleading” because it
includes 2001 figures on health care
and school spending — before
Kulongoski took office.
Grove said the Grand Ronde tribe
has spent nearly $900,000 on political ads for the primary race so far —
the largest amount by a single group.
She also said the ad could help Republicans by attempting to weaken
Kulongoski’s lead over Hill, his chief
Democratic rival, heading into the
May 16 primary.
A recent voter survey by Portland
pollster Tim Hibbitts showed Kulongoski has a clear lead over Hill, but
with only modest Democratic support that suggests the governor could
be vulnerable to a strong Republican
candidate in the November
general election.

According to an April report released
by
Students for a Sensible Drug Policy,
about 3,600 students from Oregon
have answered yes to question 31
since 2000 and have been denied
federal financial aid under an
amendment to the federal Higher
Education Act.
Ambiguity arises about what constitutes a state or federal conviction.
Oregon is 1 of 12 states that have
decriminalized marijuana, meaning
those caught possessing small
amounts are treated similarly to people who get traffic violations, according The National Organization for the
Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Some cities, such as Eugene, have
municipal codes separate from state
laws that allow city police to ticket
people caught with small amounts of
marijuana. In Eugene, people caught
with less than an ounce receive a
$250 ticket.
Eugene Police Department Sgt.
Mark Montes said unless someone
has a medical marijuana card, possession becomes a crime when he or
she has more than an ounce. Oregon
law states that possession of less than
an ounce is a violation punishable by
a fine between $500-$1,000. Possession of more than an ounce is a Class
B felony, and possession of less than
an ounce in a public place
within 1,000 feet of a school attended primarily by minors is a
Class C misdemeanor.
It’s also a crime if they grow or sell
any marijuana, Montes said.
Montes said possession of less
than an ounce in Eugene is a violation that doesn’t fall under the parameters of state or federal drug
crimes, adding that “students can answer no if you have a conviction
that’s not a federal or state.”
“Things like that don’t go on your
career criminal history,” Montes said.
“You’re just gonna get a ticket.
Big deal.”
Representatives from Eugene and
Corvallis municipal courts confirmed
that possession of less than an ounce
in both cities is a municipal violation,
not a state or a federal crime.
Director of ASUO Legal Services
Ilona Koleszar said Eugene police officers can choose to cite those possessing less than an ounce under municipal laws or state laws.
Koleszar said it seems that munici-

Oregon republican rivals
go negative on the air
SALEM, Ore. — With less than a
week remaining before Tuesday’s primary, the Republican race for governor has taken on a more rancorous
tone as the two leading contenders
for the GOP nomination slug it out
over the airwaves with negative ads.
Salem Republican Kevin Mannix
has been airing three different TV ads
since last week accusing rival Ron
Saxton of flip-flopping on crime, taxes and other issues and criticizing
Saxton’s service on the Portland
School Board.
Saxton, who leads in the latest
statewide poll, this week responded
with a new TV ad taking aim at Mannix’s $350,000 campaign debt and
his past legislative votes for tax hikes.
Further, Saxton plans to begin radio ads Thursday criticizing Mannix
for accepting more than $600,000
from Nevada conservative Loren
Parks — by far the largest single
source
of
cash
for
the
Mannix campaign.
“No campaign can withstand an

Students protest DeFazio
as PSU graduation speaker
PORTLAND — Some students say
Portland State University shouldn’t
have U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio of
Oregon as spring commencement
speaker because he supported a bill
to make felons of illegal immigrants
and those who help them.
Seven students, both Hispanic and
non-Hispanic, met with PSU
President Daniel Bernstine on
Monday to ask him to rescind
DeFazio’s invitation or sponsor an
alternative ceremony. A college
official, though, said the invitation
would stand.
Jessica Torres, a senior, said
DeFazio’s vote in December for

the Sensenbrenner bill, makes
Coup: Activists faced death
threats, violence, Arroyo says
Continued from page 1
On that day, President Salvador
Allende was killed when his palace
was bombed during the coup. Communication lines were shut down
and many political activists and
leaders were made to “disappear” by
being sent off to concentration camps
and isolated islands.
Many of Arroyo’s family and
neighbors were taken to the camps to
be tortured or killed, he said.
“My uncle, Anselmo Raguileo, was
taken to a concentration camp that
was located inside what used to be a
soccer stadium,” Arroyo said. “He
was tortured there, and he never
recovered from the experience.”
Arroyo said he chose to fight the
military through social and political
activism, collecting food and teaching children in poor communities
who had been particularly affected
by the violence. He joined a protest
music band and traveled around the
country raising awareness of the
social activist movement. Arroyo
received death threats that required
him to go into hiding three times, and
he was deported to Europe twice,
where he stayed with friends
in Germany.
In 1978, Arroyo joined a human
rights group called Vicarage of
Solidarity, which was made up of
several churches, and organized aid
for people who had been tortured
and the families of those who were
exiled. Arroyo also worked with a
group of archeologists who searched
for missing people by digging up unmarked graves to discover the
identities of the bodies.
“How could I weigh out the happiness of living with the pain of death?”
Arroyo said. “But I was able to find
joy and meaning through art
and music.”
After his experiences with violence
in Chile, Arroyo traveled to Croatia and
Bosnia to connect with people who
had been exposed to the war in those
countries and develop friendships
through similar survivor experiences.
During the presentations, Arroyo
showed slides of his drawings, which
illustrated stories of people he knew
during the war in Chile. The
drawings also reflected his personal
experiences and feelings about the
violence of that time.
“It was not easy to be a pacifist,”
Arroyo said. “What I believe in is the
power of people who are organized.”
Arroyo came to the University
through the International Cultural
Scholarship Program, which provides support to international
students. Each international student
supported through the program
participates in 80 hours of cultural
programming each year by
becoming involved with educational
and diversity-oriented programs.
Kate Bodane, the International
Service Program coordinator, said
this was the first time weekly
presentations have been held in the
Resource Center that focused on
international students’ experiences
with war in their home countries.
The idea is to have students who
have lived through wars discuss how
it affected them personally, she said.
“This is a unique way for people to
understand (the effects) of war on a
personal level,” Bodane said. “It
gives a personal connection.”
Arroyo, a University Ph.D. candidate, gave the fourth presentation in
a series of six being held in the
International Resource Center on
Wednesdays. The next presentation
will feature a speaker who will
discuss his personal experiences with
the war in Afghanistan.

“I feel by (DeFazio’s) vote, he

DeFazio said he supported the bill
because it would require employers
to do more to verify that job
applicants are eligible for legal
employment and crack down on
those who exploit illegal immigrants.
He said he doesn’t support the
provision that would make illegal

Code: Student government groups file a memorandum against changes
Continued from page 1
or produced a reasonable fear of physical harm,” the revised code says.
The new code does not require that
the alleged victim be a member of the
campus community in order for the University to punish the accused student.
Definitions of sexual misconduct
have also been revised, as have policies on record-keeping, dispute
resolution and legal representation.
“We said our piece and we tried to
make it clear,” Senator Mike Filippelli
said afterwards. “Let the students
know — Big Brother is watching.”
ASUO President-elect Jared Axelrod
said he was bothered by the apparent
lack of concern by the faculty, many of
whom left before the final vote.
Both Peter Keyes, University Senate
president, and Lisa Freinkel,
chairwoman of the ad hoc faculty
committee in charge of finishing the
revised code, emphasized the lengthy
process that preceded the drafting of
the revised code.
Before the ad hoc committee was
formed, there was an eight member
Senate sub-committee in charge of
revising the code. At the end of last
school year, the sub-committee had
failed to produce a final version because it couldn’t reach consensus on
certain changes.
The ad hoc committee, charged
with finalizing the code for a full Senate vote by the end of this school year,
comprised four faculty members and
one student. During the past seven
months, it met with ASUO leaders, faculty and students to get feedback on
the revisions.
Freinkel compared the current
process to a 1994 student-led initiative
to improve campus climate and revise
the conduct code to include acts of offcampus sexual misconduct.
“Times change. Now, a decade later, different students are suggesting not
only that we resist finishing what we
started in the ’90s, but we revisit even
the logic of the sexual misconduct
code,” she said. “By extending jurisdiction in the question of violent offenses
we are simply completing the work
begun more than a decade ago.”
Freinkel urged the senate to act
swiftly to pass the revisions and to not
be swayed by student opposition,
because a “fundamental difference of
opinion” regarding how the revisions
should be made had already left the
process deadlocked.
“This proposed language needs to
be voted on today,” she said. “To send
the code back to the (Student Conduct
Committee) would mean the death of
this revision process, and so the
decision is yours — is ours to make as
it should be according to the
University charter.”
The ASUO Executive, the Office of
Student Advocacy and members of the
Student Conduct Committee filed a
formal memorandum opposing the revisions, and ASUO President-elect
Jared Axelrod addressed the senate.
While the code had made many improvements and much time had
already been invested, Axelrod said,
the need for haste should not outweigh
the need for a sound document.
Axelrod and the authors of the
memo took issue with five points of
the code: the increased authority of the
administration over student conduct
procedures and policies, the lack of a
statute of limitations for non-academic
offenses, fewer procedural rights and
protections, an increase in the
University’s off-campus jurisdiction,
and the increased retention of student
disciplinary records.
“We recognize that many years have
been spent updating this code, but
please do not disregard these important aspects in the final stages of
approval,” Axelrod said.
When the floor was made available
for open discussion, Freinkel and
Loschiavo verbally sparred with Axelrod and other ASUO representatives,
including Senators Dallas Brown, Toby
Piering and Mike Filippelli.
The students said the changes to the
powers of legal representation constituted a change in name only, leaving
students exposed to face serious

allegations that could potentially ruin
a student’s academic or professional
career. Freinkel emphasized that the
changes marked a shift from an adversarial system in which the University
acted as a prosecuting “district attorney” to a more educational experience.
Associate Professor of Law Susan
Gary, who voted to approve the
changes, said the revised code reflects
a shift from litigation to conflict resolution also occurring in modern law.
The two sides clashed again when
Freinkel implied that the concerns
raised by ASUO executives and students in attendance did not represent
most University students.
Axelrod said he strongly disagreed.
“The ASUO speaks for the students
of the University. It’s in our charter and
our mission,” he said.

A homecoming awaits on Mat Kearney’s set list
The musician from Nashville, Tenn., credits some of his
creativity to being born and raised in the city of Eugene
BY AMY LICHTY
PULSE EDITOR
It has been almost a decade since 27year-old Mat Kearney called Eugene
home, but he hasn’t lost touch with his
Northwestern roots.
“To a kid from Oregon by way of
California/all of this is more than I’ve ever
known or seen,” Kearney sings on
the title track of his major label debut
“Nothing Left To Lose.”
“I’m torn, because everyone always
asks me where I’m from and I always say
I’m from Eugene, Oregon, but I live in
Nashville, so I’m kind of claiming both
places right now,” Kearney said. “When
I come home to Oregon, it’s like it fulfills a
place in me that no place can because it
just feels the most like home.”
Kearney attended college at Chico
State University in Chico, Calif., before
moving to Nashville, Tenn., with a friend
at age 21.
Now Kearney is coming home to Eugene as part of his national tour to perform at WOW Hall tonight.
“It’s kind of come full circle that I’m
playing a show at the WOW Hall, because I used to go watch the (Cherry
Poppin’) Daddies there,” Kearney said.
“It’s interesting that I’m actually playing
a show there.”
Kearney’s poppy musical style and
textured voice have drawn comparisons
to sensitive songwriters such as John
Mayer and Jason Mraz, but Kearney
raises the bar by bringing his own musical hybrid of acoustic guitar, spoken
word and hip-hop to the mix. Kearney
wasn’t very into the Eugene music scene
while he lived here, at least as an artist,
but he acknowledges that growing up in
this town helped him develop his sense
of creativity.

A deeper look into the
stupidity of pop music
The mainstream music industry never fails to
disappoint me. I feel like I’ve heard most of the
songs before, just sung by some other person and
with a slightly different chord arrangement. If it is
poppy-pop music that will be played on the
sweaty dance floors at bars, they all sound the
same to me.
Every week the Billboard Hot 100 chart is a
running list of mostly generic and poorly produced
albums that will be forgotten about or be made fun
of somewhere down the road.
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but Nick Lachey’s
latest song, “What’s Left of Me,” sits at number six
this week. I have no doubt that his very detailed
interview with “Rolling Stone” magazine helped
him get to this position, considering that his previous album, the beautiful play-on-words “SoulO,”

that,” Kearney said. “There’s just such a
high standard of songwriting that it’s hard
not to be influenced and challenged by it.”
Kearney’s faith is another element that
has influenced his music. His first album,
“Bullet,” which was recorded independently in 2004, was licensed to Inpop
Records, a small Christian music label.
While Kearney didn’t have any
intention of aiming his songs to a
specific genre, he was pleased to see
his music find a home in the ears of the
Christian community.
“The label had a lot of ties in the Christian and gospel music world, but the record
wasn’t really created for just that market,”
Kearney said. “But it was cool to see it
take off in that world.”

Pearl Jam, “Pearl Jam”: Aging grunge-heads and flannel-shirted coffee nerds have been waiting for this moment since “No Code” smothered
Pearl Jam's hard-rock with a wet blanket of meandering spirituality in 1996.
Pearl Jam is back. The band has officially returned to its rock 'n' roll roots
with its latest, self-titled release. Unfortunately, Pearl Jam's triumphant return comes as a decaf nonfat mocha to its early '90s heyday of caffeinated
grunge rock. The pieces are there, but the now-middle-aged rockers seem to
have lost that musical ass-kicking step, sacrificing banging heads and jumping off balconies during concerts to concentrate on their message. Pearl Jam
is pissed about war, and the band wants its audience to know it.
Eddie Vedder is the growling Vedder of yore. His lyrics are sharp and biting as ever, even if
they’re nearly impossible to understand as he snarls them between his uh-huhs and yeahs.
“Army Reserve,” a song about a father who has gone to war and left his wife and child home,
reads like poetry but sounds like prototypical Vedder gibberish. At least the band had the common sense to neatly type out its lyrics in the album booklet.
The album’s beginning is the best part. “Life Wasted,” “World Wide Suicide” and “Comatose” are vintage jam,
but the rest of the album sounds more like marmalade. The low point is “Parachutes,” a lilting lullaby of a song
that threatens to kill whatever buzz the album has going for it.
While hardcore Pearl Jam fans will undoubtedly adore the album, it doesn’t provide enough energy to keep the
rest of the post-grunge audience awake for more than a token listen.

venues Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The festival will feature local, national
and international feature, short and
animation films.
The film festival, in its debut, is distinctive because organizers did not
hold films to genre or time production
restrictions, said Kaethlyn Elliott, film
fest executive director.
“We wanted to discover what the
personality of the film festival was,”
Elliott said.
Festival planning began last year
when members of the Oregon Screenwriters group brainstormed the festival, and by November the festival
earned a nonprofit status.
Lane County awarded the festival
a tourism grant, an award that has
been given to arts groups such as
the Oregon Bach Festival and the
Asian Celebration.
“That reassured us that we’re able
to get the same type of grant as some
of the big arts organizations,” fellow organizer and University graduate Jeff
Koenig said.
The festival received 318 film submissions thanks to advertising
through word-of-mouth, a Eugene
Film Festival Web site, and Withoutabox, a film festival directory Web
site where filmmakers submit their
films to various festivals.
Eugene’s strong reputation also
helped draw submissions, Elliott said.
“One of the very first things people
say is, ‘A Eugene film festival? It’s about
time,’” Elliott said.
Koenig added that filmmakers see
Eugene, along with the University, as a
“literary, artsy demographic.” People
were excited to show their films in the
Willamette Valley, he said.
Organizers narrowed the
submissions down to 62 films, selecting roughly 26 hours of screen time to
showcase at the festival.
“We got to about 40 hours, and we
thought, ‘How are we going to do this?’
We didn’t have any trouble getting
quality films,” Elliott said.
Festival organizers have the firsttime jitters, but they are confident the
Eugene community will react strongly
to the festival.
“With any event, you get down to the
wire, and you think, ‘Is anyone going to
come?’ We’ve sold some passes, but of
course you want more to sell. It’s horrible to perform either on stage or on film
to an empty audience,” Elliott said.
However, Elliott and Koenig are
confident the festival will continue
next year.
“I feel like right now we’re having
to go to a lot of people and ask for
favors for sponsorship. Next year I’m
thinking more people will be coming
to us,” Elliott said.
The festival will be handing out
award money that totals $2,850 in
nine categories, including two
awards going to a Pacific Northwest
filmmaker, according to the festival
Web site. The festival audience will
choose two awards.
Events held at the University, including a workshop hosted by Mark
Verheiden of “Battlestar Galactica,”
will be free.
“As a U of O grad, that’s one of the
big things I pushed for,” Koenig said on
bringing events to the University.
Other festival workshops include
“Set Direction for the Big Screen”
presented by Susan Emshwiller and
a sound workshop hosted by
Academy Award winner Chris Newman and boom operator Marc-Jon
Sullivan in which participants will
work on a live set.
“We’re bringing people into the
area. If as a byproduct of that, people in
Eugene start making more films, that's
even better,” Koenig said.

The Jazz Studies Department will host a show Friday
in the Music Building featuring student jazz combos
BY INKA BAJANDAS
PULSE REPORTER
Twice every term, a room in the Music
Building is transformed into a swanky
jazz club complete with butcher paper
on the tables, crayons, tea lights and
snacks in preparation for the Jazz Café,
a concert presented by the University
Jazz Studies Department. The next
event, being held Friday at 8 p.m., will
feature University undergraduate and
graduate student jazz combos playing in
a traditional jazz performance setting.
Four groups usually play at the Jazz
Café. Their repertoire includes classic
and contemporary jazz standards as
well as original compositions written
by students. Friday’s performance will
include arrangements by jazz icons
Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Bill Evans,
Antonio Carlos Jobim, Wayne Shorter
and Charlie Parker.
Jazz Studies instructor Mike Denny,
coordinator of the combo program and
cafés, said the event is an opportunity
for students to play in a setting similar to
a bar or night club in preparation to play
in that sort of environment in the future.
“There’s a certain amount of pressure that goes into performing and (the
students) have to be responsible,” he
said. “It’s a very supportive atmosphere and the students need that.”
The students who perform at the
events are part of eight combos formed
at the beginning of fall term after students auditioned to be in a class focused on group performances. The
groups practice, perform and take
turns appearing in the Jazz Café
throughout the year. They are supervised by a faculty member or a graduate student who serves as an adviser
to each combo.
A group of University Jazz Studies
graduate teaching fellows began
the Jazz Café seven years ago, and
the Jazz Studies Department has
continued it.
“Jazz has a tradition of learning as
you go. ... It’s a great opportunity for
students new to jazz to perform and
learn form their performances,” said
GTF Hashem Assadullahi, who advises
several combos and is in one himself.
Denny encourages University students to go see the Jazz Café because it is organized, professional
and the music is high-level.
“Because it’s jazz — the music is
upbeat and engaging,” he said.

May movie madness descends as big names mix with new faces
‘The DaVinci Code,’ ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ and
‘Poseidon’ are among the films hitting the screen in May
BY AMY LICHTY
PULSE EDITOR
What do Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis
and Steve Carell have in common with
Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne and Al
Gore? They’re all appearing on the big
screen this month. So, get ready
for wacky, scary, entertaining and
dramatic movies making their way to
the theaters soon.
May 12 opens when an ocean liner
capsizes as “Poseidon” storms onto
the screen. This remake of 1972’s film
“The Poseidon Adventure” stars big
names such as Richard Dreyfuss and
Kurt Russell. Josh Lucas, Emmy
Rossum and even Black Eyed Peas’
Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson also appear in
the film. (PG-13)
“Just My Luck,” starring Lohan, also
makes its way into theaters this weekend. Lohan stars as Ashley, a 20-something New Yorker who is known for being the luckiest woman in the world.
But after she crosses paths with Jake,
played by Chris Pine, a down-and-out
but hot young man, Ashley’s life begins
to spiral out of control as she loses her
grip on good fortune. Let’s just hope
that Lohan looks better on screen
than she does on the terrible poster for
this fluffy teen flick. (PG-13)
The long-awaited “The Da Vinci
Code” gets decrypted into the theaters
May 19. Directed by the amazing Ron
Howard and starring the unbeatable Tom Hanks and
“Amelie’s” adorable Audrey Tautou as Robert
Langdon and Sophie
Neveu, “The Da Vinci Code” has
caused no shortage of controversies
— from filming inside the Louvre and
Hanks’ hairstyle to religious conspiracies and plagiarism. Will the best-selling novel by Dan Brown translate well

What ‘Mission: Impossible III’ lacks in plot it more
than makes up for in ‘frenetic violence and menace’
Your mission, should you choose
to accept it, is to watch “Mission:
Impossible III” without thinking
about any of the following things:
TomKat, Suri, Scientology, Oprah’s
couch, how Tom Cruise was getting
his driver’s license when Katie
Holmes was born and the purported
efficacy of psychotropic medication
on the mentally ill. Not surprisingly,
the impossible sequel in this Cruisecontrolled franchise allows movie
goers to do just that by blowing the
crap out of any chance at coherent
A much-anticipated action flick hits
the screen on May 26. “X-Men: The
Last Stand,” starring Patrick Stewart,
Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Halle
Berry and Famke Janssen all return for
what’s rumored to be the last X-Men
movie (yeah, just wait for the spin-offs).
Expect Phoenix, Shadowcat and Angel
to all make their mutant debuts, with
Beast taking on a larger role in the third
installment of this comic book-based
movie franchise as well. (Not yet rated)
So if the sunshine is too much to
handle, there are still plenty of options
for entertainment in May. Also look for
“Art School Confidential,” “Down in
the Valley,” “Hoot” and “See No Evil”
this month.
Warning: This action movie’s plot
will self-destruct in five seconds

Levy, Catherine O’Hara and even angry-popstar-turned-blonde-poptart

Truth,” a documentary that follows the
ex-vice president’s crusade to bring

“M:I III,” which is co-written and
directed by J.J. Abrams, the creator
of TV’s “Lost,” “Alias” and “Felicity,”
has Cruise return as IMF agent
Ethan Hunt. Even though Hunt has
retired from the field to train new super spies, he still lies about his job to
his fiancée Julia (Michelle

gets captured, Hunt’s boss (Billy

SHOPPING for a cause,
RUNNING for a cure
A UO alumna hopes a
shopping event will help
raise $5,000 for charity
LINDA GAMPERT
PULSE REPORTER
Recent University graduate Marie
Doyle will run 26.2 miles this June to
benefit the Oregon Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The assistant manager
at local business The Juice, Doyle has
joined the society’s Team In Training
program to raise $5,000 for the cause.
Tonight The Juice, at 295 E. Fifth
Ave., and its next-door companion
Face It!, a boutique that carries highprofile makeup and skin products, have
teamed-up to allow customers to shop
for the same cause.
Customers at the first annual Shop
for a Cause will be showered with
makeovers, cocktails, a silent auction,
and, of course, shopping, all for the
sake of charity.
“We wanted to do something
where we could give back,” The
Juice manager Ashley Jude said.
“We have a great opportunity with
our customers. They’re so supportive
of our businesses and just with a lot of
different charities in the area.”
Doyle and Jude wanted to find a way
to involve their customers and to give
them something more than just a great
pair of jeans to take home.

Training program.
Local businesses Bello, Modern,
Miss Meer’s, Café Lucky Noodle and
others have donated items, such as
dinner certificates and goody baskets for the silent auction. Customers can bid on these items and
all of the profits go toward Doyle’s
$5,000 pledge.
In June, Doyle will run in the San
Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon that
starts in Balboa Park and ends at
the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in
Point Loma.
Doyle remembers promising
herself during her senior year
of high school to do something
physically challenging.
“I was always the last kid in P.E. to
finish the run,” Doyle said.
Doyle decided to run her first
marathon that year for the Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society after hearing a
moving speech from one of its honor
patients about his painful battle with
cancer. Honor patients are recent
survivors of blood cancer who serve
to inspire Team In Training participants and remind them why they are
dedicating themselves to months of
training. Doyle had an honor patient
whose cancer was in remission, and
his courage kept her focused on her
goal, she said.

CD review
Black’s humor proves witty with
a darker edge in his latest CD
The comedian’s cynical views on American society
can ring true but are perhaps too wry for enjoyment
BY TREVOR DAVIS
PULSE REPORTER
While some popular comedians tickle their audiences with good ol’ fashioned feel-good comedy, Lewis Black
kills his audience by making light of the
darker side of life.
Black — best known for his
specials on Comedy Central, a
weekly segment on “The Daily
Show With Jon Stewart” and
appearances on “Late Night
with Conan O’Brien” — never made it
as a playwright after he graduated
from Yale despite his aspirations. One
professor told The Boston Globe
that Black was a “malcontent,”
“dissatisfied” and “irritable.”
On his recently released “Carnegie
Hall Performance,” the angry, ranting
comedian proves that stand-up fans
need cynical political commentary.
This newest CD release showcases
another classic Black performance at
a venue he dreamed of performing at
since he began as a comic.
He touches on light topics such as
Dr. Phil, candy corn, air travel,
holidays and marketing, while joking
about more serious topics such as
aging, religion, Hurricane Katrina
and the media. Black attacks each
subject matter with anger.
He comments on the scrolling news
ticker board on CNN, for example:
“That’s why we have ADD. ... I liked
CNN until you started that
writing on the bottom. I don’t
know why it’s there. Why do
you put writing on a television
set? We watch TV because
we don’t wanna read. We
want somebody to read the shit to us
so we can close our eyes and touch
our nuts!"
COURTESY
Elevating the informal and personal
nature of stand-up comedy, half the fun
of the Carnegie Hall performance is listening to Black stumble. He’ll stutter or
start telling a joke before he knows
how to finish it.
“There’s a joke there, but I don’t
even know what it is. They’ll get me
for that. That’s the rule. If you tell a
joke and don’t complete it, I have
to pay extra,” Black tells the New
York audience.
While most of Black’s jokes revolve
around political commentary, there are
some easy jabs thrown in, too. Black
says about Michael Jackson: "I would
let him go if he could tell us what color
he is. That’s all I want to know. What
color are you? I have never seen that
color in the crayon box."
The track “Congressional Correspondents Dinner,” which plays for
more than 17 minutes, is too long
and builds into a flat joke. The track
details his success of making Vice
President Dick Cheney laugh but
then reveals that Black actually felt
as if he tried too hard.
Overall, the two-disk set showcases Black’s ranting commentary
that weaves into many aspects of
American life. It is worth buying if
you enjoy listening to an extreme,
cynical viewpoint.

Shop: Jude Doyle inspires fund-raiser
Continued from page 10
Doyle turned her promise into a reality.
“When I crossed the finish line the
first time it was such an amazing,
emotional feeling that not only I accomplished something as challenging as a marathon but at the same
time that I had raised $3,600 to help
cancer research and patient services and everything,” she said. “The
way I look at it, cancer touches
everybody’s lives.”
Team In Training is the largest
sports endurance program in the
world, benefiting society’s mission
to advance cancer research, education and patient services. Since
1988, more than 295,000 people have
participated in Team In Training,
raising more than $660 million to help
fight all types of blood cancers. Participants of Team In Training work
with trainers who help them prepare
to compete in half marathons,
triathlons, or 100-mile bike rides.
After competing in her first
marathon, Doyle knew she would
one day run a second. The fact that
her contribution made a difference
in the lives of cancer patients and
their families helped her through her
difficult training.
She reveled in the transformation
of her body and how she was doing
something physically beneficial for
herself while helping others.
“It’s such a wonderful experience
in my life,” Doyle said. “It’s one of
those things that I truly believe in my
heart of hearts that if you set your

After the mission, Hunt is assailed
by CIA bigwig John Brasser
(Laurence Fishburne) about how
he’s been trying to get Davian for
years, blah, blah, blah, and then it’s
back to the action. The plot developments of the movie are so few and

at all.
Still, Abrams and Cruise offer up a

what is the movie’s only real “spy”

While the action is almost nonstop, it is well-choreographed and
Cruise’s sculpted biceps are shown
off whenever possible. And if there’s
a place to run to, Cruise is running:
through CIA headquarters, on a
bridge as missiles explode around
him, up walls and off buildings.
When Cruise ends up in Shanghai
one wonders whether or not he
sprinted across the Pacific to
get there.
But this being the start of the summer movie blitz, anything other than
eye-popping action sequences and
mindless entertainment would
equate weak
returns at the box office. Paramount
didn’t pony up $150 million for anything less. As far as sequels go, it
exceeds its previous installments in
almost every fashion and stands by
itself as a solid action flick.
Regardless of the movie’s reliance
on blowing things up over character
development, “M:I III” will surely
reap the benefits of the unstoppable

guy with a guitar singing sweet, sweet
love songs. Nope, nothing original there.
Then there are those extremely
popular songs that are constantly
played on the radio over and over
again. Some songs make me feel
nauseous, especially if they sound like
they are sung by fourth-graders.
One song I cannot stand is “My
Humps” by the Black Eyed Peas. The
first time I heard this song I had NO
IDEA it was sung by them. Surely this
somewhat talented group would not
succumb to the raunchy songs that
have sprung up on the
high-school-aimed MTV. But sure
enough, there goes Fergie taunting “I
mix your milk with my coca puff/Milky,
milky cocoa…”
The lyrics alone make me want to
punch something. Cocoa puffs? She’s
talking about Cocoa Puffs to express
something much more sexual. Why not
just say it; why a use children’s cereal?
It’s not clever, it’s gross. My lovely lady
lumps? My humps, my humps, humps?
What the hell does that mean? She’s
singing about how guys buy her all sorts
of yummy cocktails and expensive
material possessions because she’s got
those lady lumps and humps they just
GOT to have. It sounds like she’s a stripper.
She’s not in a position of power as the
song attempts to portray. It is a position
where a woman will never get respect
from the man who pays for her services.
Another song that makes me want to
punch a baby (Dane Cook!) is “Don’t
Cha” by the Pussycat Dolls. Not only do
the PCDs think they are the hottest
things around, (I see hotter girls walking
around campus every day) but this
song is just goddamn annoying. If you
wish your girlfriend was hot like someone else, you’re probably not with the
right girl. And what if your girlfriend is
actually hotter than one of the PCDs
(I bet she is)? Then what? This is one of
those songs that is insulting to me because it’s so silly, and I’m amazed that
people actually buy the album, thinking,
“now THESE girls are real artists.”
I’m not a music connoisseur. I have
my guilty pleasures that no matter what
people say I will always love (Jewel,
German techno and David Gray). But
some of today’s music insults me
because I know we are better than that.
We don’t need to be bombarded with
cheesy, generic beats and lyrics that
sound like they were written by a child
(although the actual meaning is not
suitable for children). The problem,
naturally, is that some people love it.
The other day I heard a young girl,
maybe 17, say, “I can’t read that book.
That’s for SMART people.” I don’t know
what book she was talking about, but
does it even matter?

“My faith is a huge part of who I am,

across all avenues.”

Duck softball
Down a starter, Ducks need wins
Kayleen Hudson, who broke her
hand Tuesday, will miss the
softball team’s final road trip
BY SHAWN MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR
JEFFREY DRANSFELDT
THREE TO WIN
Westendorf
sees changes
as necessary
to rebuilding
Oregon volleyball is clearly in a rebuilding
mode. With a core group of players returning and
several promising recruits coming to Eugene, it
will take time to see whether the changes
translate to wins on the court.
The next measuring stick is Lauren Westendorf,
who played four years at Oregon.
Westendorf’s opinion carries the weight of
someone who witnessed Oregon’s coaching
change from Carl Ferreira to Jim Moore and who
had a choice of top colleges out high school, yet
chose to come to Eugene.
Westendorf’s college career was cut short by
injury, but she recovered and played professionally
in Salzburg, Austria (“Spiking a point in Europe,”
ODE, May 9). Oregon started 8-2 in Westendorf’s
senior year in fall 2004, only to close 2-17 following her season ending-injury — a torn right
anterior cruciate ligament.
Her absence did have an effect, but she felt it
wasn’t enough to decide the season and Ferreira’s
decision to leave the program.
“One player can maybe help a little bit, but is
not going to drastically change the finish in the
Pac-10,” Westendorf said.
Ferreira focused on technique, while Moore
wants his players to get the job done, whether it is
passing or setting, Westendorf said. Moore and
his staff are currently using spring practices to
focus on individual improvement.
“(The remaining former teammates) loved
practice because they were able to just go out
there and play and get their job done without
having to think about every individual ball,”
Westendorf said.
Moore made it known this spring there are
consequences for failure when he let go several
players from the 2005 team. Westendorf
experienced a similar situation following her
sophomore year when three players graduated
and six chose to transfer.
“It’s his professional responsibility to turn that
program around, and he has to do what he has
to do in order to make that happen,” Westendorf
said. “Unfortunately, a lot of times it’s going to be
getting the right core of players in there.”
Within the past year, Moore has been able to
attract multiple elite recruits to Eugene, including
two in Neticia Enesi and Sonja Newcombe, who
drew praise from Arizona coach Dave Rubio.
When Westendorf was recruited out of high
school, she initially didn’t consider Oregon until
she visited the campus and met with athletic
director Bill Moos and senior associate athletic
director Renee Baumgartner.
“Yes, the volleyball is struggling. Yes, they are
going to turn it around,” Westendorf said. “But I
think that as a top athlete looking for elite
facilities, elite training, elite academics, a full elite
package — Oregon definitely offers that.”
Westendorf sat down with Moore prior to
graduating and gave him an overview of the team
and chemistry between players.
“His ideas were innovative and creative,” said
Westendorf, who followed the team online from
Austria. “I like the way that he moved the girls
around this season and was willing to try
new things.”

Oregon outfielder Kayleen Hudson is out for the season after she broke her left hand during Tuesday’s practice.
Oregon has five games on the road beginning today at No. 3 Arizona to close the regular season.
For the second time in the past month, an
Oregon starter was injured during softball
practice. This time outfielder Kayleen Hudson
broke her left hand Tuesday, during the final
practice of the regular season.
The ball was hit into shallow right field and
when she dove for the catch, Hudson caught
her glove in the grass, causing a break in a bone
on top of her hand.
“I was diving for a short ball, and I just
twisted it wrong,” Hudson said. “I just went
down and kind of twisted, jammed it.”
The injury is added to a long list of woes the
softball team has faced this season.
“It’s definitely another obstacle we have to
overcome this season, added to all the rest of
them,” outfielder Lovena Chaput said. “I think
that we’ll miss her bat in the lineup and her
maturity in the outfield.”
Senior Beth Boskovich, who suffered a tear
of the anterior cruciate ligament in her right
knee less than one month ago during practice,
has been in Hudson’s shoes and knows what
an impact of that magnitude has on a team.
“It definitely puts a damper on us, just to
know that she won’t be available to do
anything — hit, run or field,” Boskovich said.
“Our team has gone through so much this year.
We’ve managed to overcome injuries, personal
things and this just is one more thing we’ve got
to work with, with Kayleen being out.”
Oregon (24-24 overall, 4-12 Pacific-10
Conference) closes out its regular season
schedule with five road games against a pair of
top-10 teams beginning with a doubleheader
today at No. 3 Arizona (40-9, 11-6). Oregon
must win three of the five games to be eligible
for a fourth straight postseason appearance.
“There’s a sense of urgency big time, just
because we know that we need to get at least
three wins this weekend,” said Boskovich, who
also stated that the Ducks’ final practice
was uneasy.
Uneasy because the pressure has continued
to build all season and the team has developed
a “What next” attitude?
Not a chance, said third baseman Joanna
Gail, who noted that the Ducks are going into

Tailgating for a good cause
Organizers of the Mike Bellotti Ultimate Tailgate
Party are hoping to raise $150,000 for charity
BY LUKE ANDREWS
SENIOR SPORTS REPORTER
early 400 people are
expected to cram into the
Club Room today at
Autzen Stadium.
But today, it’s for a much larger
cause than football.
The 13th annual Mike Bellotti
Ultimate Tailgate Party is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. tonight to
benefit the more than 2,000
Oregonians suffering from one of
the 43 different neuromuscular
diseases represented by the
Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The event includes a dinner, a
silent auction, a super-silent
auction, a live auction and is in
conjunction with a Golf Classic
held Friday at the Springfield
Country Club.
Last year, the two-day event
raised $144,000. Organizers hope
to reach the $150,000 mark this
year, said Nell Higginbotham, the
N
Eugene district director of the
Muscular Dystrophy Association.
“This is my third year doing
this particular event, and each
year I’m awestruck because of
the sheer number of people who
turn out and the generosity of the
community and the people who
are giving of their time and
money,” Higginbotham said. “It’s
always very impressive to me.
And I’m always just a little more
humbled after the event just
to realize how giving people
really are.”
The Muscular Dystrophy
Association is a “voluntary
health agency — a dedicated
partnership between scientists
and concerned citizens aimed at
conquering
neuromuscular
diseases that affect more than a
million Americans,” according to
the MDA’s mission statement.
The Oregon football team
has one of those affected people
close to home in running backs
coach Gary Campbell’s son
Bryan. Bryan’s condition initially
inspired the program to hold
events such as today’s Ultimate
Tailgate Party, which began under
former head coach Rich Brooks
and has continued with Bellotti.
“Each year it’s something that
I try to do, and it’s been one
received by the people in the
community,” Bellotti said. “You
feel like you give something back
to the people.”
Bidders at the event, which
mostly include sponsors and local
businesses, have opportunities to
bid on various things including a
seven-day Royal Caribbean cruise
or a dinner with Bellotti at the
50-yard line of Autzen Stadium.
Higginbotham said there are a
few changes to this year’s
Ultimate Tailgate Party. One is the
inclusion of players from
Oregon’s 1995 Rose Bowl team
including Dino Philyaw, Danny
O’Neil, Chad Cota, Josh Bidwell,
Reggie Jordan and five others.

Tampa Bay scores only run
of 1-0 win on Moyer balk

SEATTLE— Jamie Moyer has
thrown tens of thousands of pitches
over his 20 seasons in the major
leagues. A pitch he didn’t throw cost
him Wednesday.
Seattle’s 43-year old lost the grip
on a fifth-inning pitch as he was
starting his delivery, balking in the
only run in the Tampa Bay Devil
Rays’ 1-0 victory over the Mariners.
“I didn’t have the right grip on the
ball, and recognized it,” Moyer said.
“My body swayed and I couldn’t get
my foot out the hole. Simple mistake.
It cost me the game.”
Scott Kazmir allowed only three
singles and struck out nine over
seven innings for the Devil Rays, who
won for only the third time in 10
games and prevented a Seattle sweep
of the three-game series.
The previous major league game in
which the only run came home on a
balk was on June 8, 1998, when the
New York Mets beat Boston and Tim
Wakefield, according to the Elias
Sports Bureau.
“Big as Dallas, he did balk,” Devil
Rays manager Joe Maddon said of
Moyer.
With the count 1-1 to Damon
Hollins and runners on second and
third in the fifth, Moyer (1-3) asked
catcher Rene Rivera to go through his
signs again. After beginning his
pitching motion, he stepped
awkwardly off the pitching rubber
with his back foot and looked blankly
to first base.
All four umpires called the balk.
“He started and stopped his whole
body,” crew chief Gary Darling said.
Moyer did not argue as Toby Hall
strolled home. Instead, he yelled a
one-word admonishment at himself.
Two of the three singles off Kazmir
(5-2) were infield hits, and the
22-year-old’s first five outs were
strikeouts. He consistently threw 94
mph fastballs, sharply dropping cut
fastballs and looping changeups
- which Seattle had not seen in its
scouting.
“I’m feeling a lot more comfortable,”
he said. “Instead of being
overwhelmed and thinking I have to
make three perfect pitches to
strike a guy out, I’m just making
quality pitches.”
Kazmir has allowed two runs or
fewer in six of his eight starts this
season while winning games
opposite Roy Halladay, Curt Schilling
and Wakefield. He retired 16 in a row
between Willie Bloomquist’s secondinning single and Adrian Beltre’s
two-out walk in the seventh.
Bloomquist followed with a single,
but pinch-hitter Kenji Johjima
grounded out.
“Kaz has been even sharper than
that,” Maddon said. “It’s growing
into a typical performance for him.
“Potentially - and very soon - he’s
going to be one of the best
left-handers in the game.”
Richie Sexson struck out twice
against Kazmir, dropping his average
to .186.
“It’s frustrating, kind of a
man-tester,” Sexson said. “Hopefully,
it will turn.”
Ruddy Lugo pitched a perfect
eighth, while Tyler Walker allowed
Raul Ibanez’s double to center
leading off the ninth. The liner went
over Joey Gathright, who had taken
three steps in.
Walker then struck out Sexson and
Carl Everett, who banged the top of
his batting helmet with his bat barrel.
Beltre hit the next pitch on one hop
to a prone Tomas Perez, who had
moved to third base from shortstop in
the ninth. Perez got up and threw to
first for the final out.
“It’s definitely exciting for a young
guy to come in and make guys look
that bad,” Walker said of Kazmir.
“The guys in that other clubhouse,
you can ask them, they probably
don’t want to face him again
this season.”
Moyer again pitched well without
a win. He gave up four hits in eight
innings, striking out five - but
was doomed by his 11th career balk
and first since Aug. 19, 2000,
at Cleveland.
NBA Playoffs
Miami reverses Game 1 fate,
defeats New Jersey 111-89
BY TIM REYNOLDS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Siohvaughn Wade
doesn’t necessarily enjoy when
her husband leaves home for a
late-night workout.
“Actually,
she
hates
it,”
Dwyane Wade said.
If those sessions always equate into
this kind of result, well, she’ll probably
learn to handle it.
Wade — who was practicing with
Shaquille O’Neal into the wee hours of
Wednesday morning — scored 17 of
his 31 points in the first quarter,
sparking the Miami Heat to a huge
early lead that they rode to a 111-89 victory over the New Jersey Nets in Game
2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
O’Neal added 21 points for Miami,
which outscored New Jersey 25-4 in
the game’s first 5:49 and never looked
back, ensuring that it wouldn’t suffer
the ignominy of losing the first two
games of a series at home.
Now, to reclaim homecourt advantage, the Heat will need to win only
once in New Jersey, where the bestof-seven series resumes Friday night.
Vince Carter had 22 points for the
Nets, while Richard Jefferson
— showing no ill effects from the
ankle-and-heel bone bruise he suffered
in Game 1 — added 16.
Jason Kidd had 15 points and Nenad
Krstic added 14 for New Jersey, which
matched the second-biggest margin of
defeat in franchise playoff history. The
Nets were beaten by 23 points twice
during the 2002 postseason, once each
by Indiana and the Los Angeles Lakers .
“Their overall intent was greater and
sharper than ours,” Nets coach
Lawrence Frank said. “The bottom line
is that we went into this talking, ‘Look,
every game you’re trying to win. You’re
never just satisfied.’ But at the same
time, Miami played with a great sense
of urgency. From that first quarter on,
we never recovered.”
Jason Williams scored 14 points,
Udonis Haslem had 11 points and
10 rebounds and Gary Payton added
11 points on 4-for-4 shooting for Miami.
The Heat left no doubt early, their
emphatic opening run getting fueled by
a trio of 3-pointers from Wade — who
has never made more than three as a
pro, yet had that many in the first 4:17
of Game 2.
It seemed like everything that went
wrong for the Heat in the opener went
their way Wednesday. Miami trailed
18-5 in the early minutes of
Game 1 and was down by 17 after the
first quarter of that game, en route to a
12-point loss.
Wade made his first five shots,
outscoring the Nets 13-4 in the first
3:59. Miami made 10 of its first
13 shots, while the Nets misfired on
nine of their first 11 tries. And by the
time either member of New Jersey’s
starting backcourt scored, Wade and
Williams already had 21 points for
the Heat.
Wade’s jumper with 0.9 seconds left
in the opening quarter, over Carter,
gave Miami a 41-19 lead. New Jersey
didn’t crack the 41-point mark until its
first possession of the second half,
when Jefferson hit a 20-footer to draw
the Nets within 60-42.
“It was Game 1 in reverse,” Kidd said.
O’Neal had 11 points in the third
quarter, three baskets coming after
Jason Collins went to the bench with
five fouls only 1:49 into the second
half. And all the while, O’Neal’s father,
Phil Harrison, sat not far from the court
in a white cap and shirt, nodding
his approval.
New Jersey made one rally, an
11-2 run over a 3-minute stretch late in
the third. Jefferson hit a floater from the
foul line with 1:55 left to cut Miami’s
lead to 79-64, and Lamond Murray’s
open 3-point try 44 seconds later hit the
back iron, but wouldn’t fall.
O’Neal grabbed the rebound, then
later in the possession found James
Posey for a 3-pointer that restored an
18-point lead. Antoine Walker and Payton then hit consecutive 3-pointers to
open the fourth, and Wade crossoverdribbled his way free for a spectacular
dunk that made it 92-68 with 10:36 left.
And with the lead 105-81 with 6:00
left, the Nets made a wholesale lineup
change, getting all their regulars some
rest for Game 3. O’Neal and Wade
didn’t play again from that point, either.
Los Angeles Clippers rout
Phoenix to even series
Los Angeles outrebounded Phoenix
57-26 in winning Game 2 to even the
Western Conference semifinals. Game
3 is in Los Angeles on Friday night.
Elton Brand, coming off a 40-point
performance in Game 1, had 27 points
and 10 rebounds as all five Clippers
starters scored in double figures.
Cuttino Mobley, held to three points
on 1-for-6 shooting in Game 1, scored
23, as did Sam Cassell, the Clippers'
36-year-old point guard. Chris Kaman
added 14 points and 16 rebounds.
Raja Bell, who opened the game
0-for-5, led the Suns with 20 points,
while Leandro Barbosa added 19 and
Tim Thomas 15. Steve Nash had
14 points and eight assists, then sat out
the final 5:44.
The Clippers dominated the
offensive boards 19-5, leading to a 31-6
advantage in second-chance points.
Los Angeles led by as many as 20
points in the first half and 21 in the
third quarter.

National Basketball Association
BY JEFF LATZKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY - At least one
person out there thinks there was an
NBA rookie who had a better season
than Chris Paul. And that only gives
the New Orleans point guard a little
extra incentive.
Paul was a runaway choice for the
NBA’s Rookie of the Year award
Wednesday, receiving all but one of
the 125 first-place votes from a panel
of media members. Utah guard
Deron Williams - who was taken
with the No. 3 pick in last year’s
draft, one spot ahead of Paul received the only other first-place vote.
“That’s even more motivation right
there,” Paul said. “It’s an honor to get
124 out of 125, but that one — that
one — that’s just motivation for
next year.”
By helping the Hornets double
their win total in a season where they
were forced out of their home city
because of Hurricane Katrina, Paul
earned the rookie honor by the
largest margin since San Antonio’s
David Robinson was a unanimous
choice in 1990.
Paul led all rookies in points
(16.1), assists (7.8) and steals per
game (2.2), as well as doubledoubles (21), minutes played (36.4)
and triple-doubles (2). He also
became the second NBA rookie to
lead the league in steals, joining
Brevin Knight.
“I’m just a competitor. I’m two
totally different people when I’m on
the court and when I’m off the
court,” Paul said. “Going into every
game, I never feel like our team is the
underdog. Every game, no matter
who we’re playing.”
The 6-foot point guard left Wake
Forest after his sophomore season to
enter the NBA, and helped the
Hornets — who played most of their
home games in Oklahoma City
— win 38 games a year after they
won just 18. They remained in the
playoff race until the final week
of the season.
Paul received the award at a
morning news conference in Oklahoma City, then flew to New Orleans
for a separate recognition at an uptown school where he helped deliver
30 computers that had been donated
by an Oklahoma school district.
“After the draft I was so excited
about being a New Orleans Hornet,”
Paul said. “We flew in afterward for
the news conference. I felt right at
home and we started looking for a
house. Then came the tragedy of the
hurricane and not knowing where
we were going to be. That was
extremely tough.”
Paul was expected to miss two
weeks after tearing a ligament on the
inside of his right thumb in January.
Instead, he decided to come back after missing only one game. Also fighting through injuries to his ribs and
tailbone, Paul’s presence helped the
Hornets rise to sixth in the Western
Conference at the All-Star break.
Upon his speedy return from the
thumb injury, Paul said: “I only get
one rookie season.”
He said the hardest part of his
season was watching his team play
without him for four games — one
with the thumb injury and three with
bruised ribs.
“Especially the kind of season we
were having, I didn’t want to be on the
bench,” Paul said. “I wanted to experience all of it. Like I said, you only get
one rookie year, so I wanted to take it
all in. If there was any way possible I
could play in any game, I wanted to.”
Paul shook his head and said
“Come on, Coach,” when Byron
Scott told the crowd his point guard
was tough in part because “he had a
bigger brother who would beat him
up when he was little, on and off the
basketball court.”
“He was real feisty. We fought
every day,” said C.J. Paul, who lives
with Chris and serves as his manager.
“My mom and dad give me credit for
toughening him up but he was
always the tough one.”
After the season, Scott gave Paul a
piece of paper with statistics he
thinks Paul can achieve in his second
year — improving in every area
except
blocked
shots
and
minutes played.
Paul said he would trade in his
trophy for the opportunity to
participate in the playoffs and said he
didn’t think the honor meant he had
proved himself.
“We didn’t win a championship,
so there’s still a lot more I feel like I
can do,” Paul said.
Paul is the second Hornets player to
win the award, joining Larry Johnson
(1991-92). Emeka Okafor of the
Charlotte Bobcats won the award
last year.
MDA: 10 ex-Ducks will be auctioned off
Continued from page 15
Jeff Hawkins, the director of football
operations at the University, is creating
autographed caricature portraits of the
players to be auctioned off during the
silent auction.
Winning bidders for the portraits
will then have the opportunity to
team with that player on Friday.
“Some of them play golf and some
of them have never swung a golf
club in their life. So it may be a
little interesting,” Bellotti said.
Last year, Hawkins had players attempt to draw the portraits either of
themselves or of teammates, which
made for some interesting sketches
and some displeasure from the
artistically challenged, Hawkins said.
This year, he decided to head up
the drawing portion of the project
himself. Still, Hawkins recognizes
the importance of including the
players in the events. This year is
the second time current players
will participate.
“The reason why we’ve got our
players involved is that we want
them to appreciate the small things
in life,” Hawkins said. “A lot of these
athletes will play on Sundays.
Sometimes you have got to bring
some reality home to them … I think
it’s good for their ego.”
Some players already have
volunteered their time to the
Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Last
month,
J.D.
Nelson,
Brady Leaf, Jonathan Stewart and
Brent Haberly became “football
buddies” with four children suffering from neuromuscular diseases.
The four players met with their
buddies prior to a spring practice
and had dinner together following
the workout.
During today’s event, the players
will honor their buddies with a
Courage Award.
“The fantasy these kids go through
does wonders for their welfare,”
Hawkins said of the children in the
buddy program. “But I know that the
benefit goes both ways.”
One of the highlights of the evening,
Higginbotham said, is a video on the
MDA’s summer camp for children
affected by neuromuscular diseases.
Because of the high costs of
sending a child to the camp, a
portion of the auction will allow
bidders to pay for children to attend
one of two camps this summer.
“I’ve seen videos of (the camp),
and you talk to the kids that have been
there, and it’s an amazing experience
for them to be able to play, swim and
compete,” Bellotti said. “It’s
something they have told me they
look forward to every year — one of
the most unbelievably fun things they
get to do. So just to be a part of
something that gives them the
opportunity to share that fun time in
their life, it’s pretty amazing.”

Overtime goal lifts Buffalo
over Ottawa in semifinals
J.P. Dumont scored 5:05 into overtime to give Buffalo a 3-2 victory over
Ottawa Wednesday night, and a 3-0 lead
in the Eastern Conference semifinal.
Chris Drury and Maxim Afinogenov
also scored and rookie Ryan Miller
stopped 26 shots for the Sabres. They
have won five straight and beat
the Senators for the ninth straight
time in the playoffs, dating to a
1997 first-round series.
The Sabres won despite missing two
top regulars — center Tim Connolly
and defenseman Dmitri Kalinin
— effectively shutting down the East’s
No. 1 seed, a team that led the NHL
with 314 goals in the regular season.
The Senators have little time to regroup with Game 4 of the best-of-seven
series at Buffalo on Thursday night. All
three games of the series have been
decided by one goal, including Buffalo’s
7-6 overtime win in Game 1.
Jason Spezza scored twice, both on
the power play, for Ottawa and forced
overtime by scoring with 90 seconds
remaining in regulation.
Carolina takes 3-0 series
lead over New Jersey
Rod Brind’Amour got his stick on
Eric Staal’s long shot during a power
play and sent the puck hopping
between Martin Brodeur’s pads late in
the second period and Carolina took a
3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference

this weekend with the underdog role
and nothing to lose.
“We are going to go in with really
nothing to lose here,” Gail said. “I
mean nobody expects us to even pick
up a one there.”
The Wildcats defeated the Ducks
4-1 on April 1, but Boskovich says
that once the first game starts at
6 p.m., the past doesn’t matter, and
an aggressive attitude will be the key.
“We’ve got nothing to lose and
everything to gain,” Boskovich said.
“We know there is pressure, but there

except win.”
On Friday, Oregon has a doubleheader against No. 7 Arizona State
(43-12, 7-9) beginning at 5:30 p.m.
before closing out the regular
season with one game against the
Sun Devils Saturday.
“Arizona, they are aggressive all
the time on bases, pitching, hitting,”
Boskovich said. “I think we are going
to take a little bit of their game and
throw it right back at them.
“ASU is the same. They are pretty
gutsy. I think we are going to try to

Chaput agreed aggressiveness is
important and the winner will be
decided by the team that is more
assertive on the mound, at the plate,
