Community reacts to diversity plan Darfur rally
University students and faculty

NEWS REPORTER
At the public’s first opportunity to critique the
revised version of the University’s controversial
Five-Year Diversity Plan, faculty, students and
community members repeatedly raised a
question of logistics: With a shrinking University
pocketbook, how much will this mission for
diversity cost?
Others questioned the morality of the plan.

Reported bike theft down from 2005
Eugene police officials attribute
the crime to those who trade

CHRIS TODD | GRAPHIC ARTIST
On a campus infamous for bike theft, University bicyclists may rest easier knowing that the
number of bikes reported stolen on and near
campus has declined by 65 percent this year, according to Department of Public Safety statistics.
Eighty-four bikes were reported stolen
between Jan. 1, 2005, and April 26, 2005. Twenty
nine bikes were reported stolen during that same
period this year.
DPS Lt. Herb Horner attributes the decline to
increased bike patrol by DPS officers who have
been more pro-active about approaching people
on campus when they don’t seem like members
of the University community.
“We make contacts when people are in areas
where they have no business being,” Horner
said. “If you’re just hanging around, you’re going
to be contacted.”

Horner said. “This was the first time really that

Activists decried the Sudanese
government’s alleged atrocities,
citing personal anecdotes
BY ERIC FLORIP
FREELANCE REPORTER
A rally held in support of victims of
genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan drew
approximately 200 community members to
the Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza in Eugene
on Sunday.
The demonstration corresponded with
19 other similar rallies across the country
Sunday, including a larger gathering in front of
the U.S. capitol in Washington, D.C., according to the Save Darfur Coalition Web site.
Eugene’s rally was organized by the Lane
County Darfur Coalition.
Speakers included Rep. Peter DeFazio,
D-Ore., Mayor Kitty Piercy and photojournalist Paul Jeffrey, who spent three weeks in
Darfur in 2005.
Ibrahim Hamide, a local human rights
activist who also spoke, stressed that people
cannot simply rely on the U.S. government to
act, but must take initiative themselves.
“We need to do something. We can’t wait
for our government that seems to be tunnelvisioned about the war in Iraq and the war on
terror,” Hamide said. “It is about time we walk
the walk.”
Since 2003, an allegedly governmentbacked militia called the Janjaweed has

Editorial
Time for gas guzzlers to get innovative
Gas prices are climbing to $3!
Sometimes higher! It’s costing $50
to fill a tank! Every week! In case
you haven’t heard.
I understand why Americans are
upset about rising gasoline prices,
but a national fervor? I have yet to
comprehend why so many drivers
are so surprised that gasoline, like
most commodities, will experience
price changes because of demand
and availability of the resource. Consumers didn’t get up in arms when
the price of Fig Newtons climbed to
$4 during the winter months, because it was clear that in cold
weather figs were harder to come
by, and protesting the growing season of fruit would bring about no
change in cookie price.
And yet consumers of gasoline
demand explanation and solution
from the government and the oil industry, as though oil dependence is
the fault of everyone except drivers.
In the case of gasoline, I am
frankly surprised that gas prices
have managed to stay so low; after
all, gasoline is practically a necessity
for many citizens, and gas companies could therefore certainly raise
prices to sky high levels while losing
few customers. Of course, the reason gasoline companies don’t
charge extremely high prices and
rake in even more extreme profits, is
that many states have laws against
raising gas prices so far past their
fair, national market value as to
bring business moguls profits at
the expense of citizens who rely
on gasoline.
Unfortunately, few such gouging
laws are employed against the
drug industry, which is allowed to
charge obscenely high amounts of
money for treatment that often
means the difference between life
and death for a patient. But that’s a
different column.
The point I would like to present
in this column is that the uproar
against gasoline is being directed toward all the wrong places. Drivers

FURTHER FROM PERFECTION
understandably want to voice disappointment that so much money
must now be put toward filling their
vehicle; however, citizens also ought
to realize that perhaps high gasoline
prices are more accurate to the nature of this energy resource. Oil
must be discovered, drilled for, refined and transported, often across
the globe. Once the gasoline makes
it to the station and into your car,
the energy expended in the burning
process is extensive.
Americans have become used to
the ease of transportation by automobile, and it seems that our nation
has forgotten just how much energy
it takes to move a vehicle from one
location to another. The simple truth
is, we have no right to demand
lower prices at the pump.
Furthermore, consider this fact
from a recent New York Times article: “…since 1982, the price of petroleum is up less than the price of
pulp and paper or lumber, and only
about one-third as much as drugs as
pharmaceuticals.” This means that
although the price of gas is rising,
it’s actually not rising all that much.
If consumers and the government
want to quell the sea of anxious
drivers, a solution must be found
that doesn’t involve lowering the
price of gasoline, because it’s obvious that gas is not unreasonably
high compared to the market in general as well as the specific nature of
gasoline. Therefore, gas prices ought
to stay high, and the United States
ought to decide how to deal with
that fact.
To begin with, the government
should consider offering tax benefits
to young families who choose to
move into city neighborhoods rather
than suburbia. After WWII, an opposite plan was put into action
through the GI Bill, and low-interest
housing loans rewarded families for
moving into the outskirts of cities;
creating our modern notion of the
suburbs. In the present, encouraging
the revitalization of inner city areas
would be a great way to reduce
gasoline dependence, by establishing communities of homes, stores
and schools which can be easily accessed with a bicycle or a pair of
tennis shoes, rather than a car and
an interstate.
In addition, local governments
could consider putting money into
rideshare and carpooling programs.
Although such programs are often
available over the Internet through
Web sites such as Craigslist, creating
an official, city-endorsed rideshare
program might encourage citizens to
become involved. The University
could easily create such a program
with a simple online bulletin board,
and potentially reduce gasoline dependence and spending for far more
than 50 percent of students driving
to campus.
It’s time for American citizens to
stop acting as though we have an inalienable right to gasoline. Yes,
many of us are dependent upon that
resource, but that dependence is no
one’s fault but our own. It’s not the
fault of the petroleum industry that
they want to profit; nearly every
capitalist organization operates in
exactly the same manner as the gas
industry. Rather than the federal
government abetting U.S. citizens
with promises that gasoline prices
will drop, officials ought to say,
“tough luck,” and start planning for
how to lower gasoline dependence
rather than gasoline prices.

Guest commentary
Censoring The Insurgent would
encourage other free speech limits
There seems to be a tantalizing
double standard around campus.
When the Danish papers and the
Oregon Commentator published the
cartoons satirizing (and in a couple
of instances directly insulting) Mohammed and the Muslim faith,
there was a massive cry from people, all the way to the creators of
South Park, that the cartoons should
be published under the auspices of
free speech. These people argued
that even though the cartoons were,
as some people called “a slap in the
face of Islam,” the cartoonists and
writers had a right to free speech
that included taking on the sacred.
This argument was even further expanded by some to insult those who
were fighting to get the cartoons
stopped, even for altruistic reasons,
were somehow trying to destroy
free speech.
However, as we look to the latest
campus controversy with The Insurgent, the opposite seems to be said.
The Christian-focused cartoons are
a “slap in the face” of Christianity,
they are an insult to Christians
everywhere and The Insurgent
should be punished or removed.
The art is a persecution, it's
insensitive and just plain mean.
What’s wrong with this picture?
We can’t have free speech only be a
one-way street. Just as people have
seen the ACLU defend pornography
and Nazi rallies, the doctrine of free
speech means that speech that you
don’t like is just as valid as that you
do. We can’t insult Muslims with a
batch of cartoons only to quail away
when artists turn their pens onto
Christianity. To do so would mean
that the controversy around the
Muslim cartoons was not about free
speech, but just plain old hatred
towards Islam.
I don’t like speech that insults
others. I wish we lived in a world
where everyone was treated equally
and fairly and where nobody was
hurt because of others’ words. But I
know that’s not going to happen. I
argued against the Mohammed cartoons because I felt that they were
being used as an insult, not to have
them censored. To be honest, I don’t
like the stuff The Insurgent did, either. But I cannot stand by and
watch them get censored while other speech is allowed to go free even
though it’s just as inflammatory.

Students
should heed
surveillance
strategies
Big Brother is watching you, students. At
least that’s the message sent by the University
of Colorado-Boulder campus police last week
following a massive student celebration of 4/20
— the unofficial national pot-smoking day.
Police posted video-surveillance photos
Thursday of 150 people, many of them students, who allegedly lit up bongs and joints,
and offered a $50 reward to students whose
identification of their toking peers leads to a citation. More than 20 mugs have already been
identified, according to the Web site.
“The phones have been ringing off the
hook,” police Lt. Tim McGraw said, according
to The Associated Press. “One person called in
and ID-ed five people.”
Students face a $100 citation for possession
of less than one ounce of marijuana and
possible trespassing charges.
Officers turned to video surveillance for the
first time this year because previous attempts
by the small department to disperse thousands of protesters were unsuccessful, according to the blog of The Campus Press, the university’s student newspaper. Signs posted
prior to the event, held on a university field,
informed would-be tokers that their images
would be captured.
This incident is the latest result of a culture
that is becoming increasingly reliant on video
surveillance; it should serve as an alert to students, especially those who engage in illegal
activities, that private activities committed in
public are indeed public.
This trend is evidenced by the recent use of
video surveillance to facilitate the arrest of
University student Austin Michael Hauth,
who Eugene police arrested earlier this month
for allegedly throwing a rock inside Taylor’s
Bar and Grille, causing $500 in damage. The
Emerald ran a surveillance photo of the suspect (“Man damages Taylor’s by throwing
rock,” ODE, April 4). Multiple people recognized the male suspect and called police on
the day that the article ran.
Similarly, the UC-Boulder campus
police Web site features a video file depicting
alleged vandals in hopes that someone will
finger them.
Such uses of video technology, as long as they
occur in public locations, can help deter criminals
and help catch crooks. However, the usefulness
of video surveillance must be balanced against
the threat of an Orwellian society.
The UC-Boulder police unit’s decision to post
photos of students online, implying those students have broken the law, raises potential invasion of privacy and libel issues. Some of the
students might have been smoking tobacco,
and they don’t deserve a tarnished reputation.
Further, where were officers on April 20?
Campus police relied on cameras to document
illegal activity rather than make a live appearance and actually prevent students from s
moking marijuana at that location.
Video surveillance offers useful crime-fighting
technology as long as police do not use cameras
to invade personal privacy or as a substitute for a
physical presence. And as for officers enticing
students to go online and turn each other in, we
say that finding and identifying criminals should
be the job of the police.
The Boulder 4/20 situation does offer an interesting idea for the University’s own problem with “unclassy” fan behavior at football
games. Perhaps in the future, students can digitally photograph drunk or unruly fans, bring
those pictures to the snack bar and receive a
free hot dog — courtesy of the Department of
Public Safety.

Darfur: Eugene mayor calls for more United States government involvement
Continued from page 1
about 2.5 million more displaced.
Demonstrators on Sunday collected
blankets to be sent to victims without homes or adequate shelter, and
donations tables were set up around
the plaza. Two collection boxes
for blankets were filled beyond
capacity by the end of the rally.
The event began with supporters
forming a large circle around a small
band that played a prayer song for
victims. Jeffrey spoke next, bringing
a more personal touch to the rally
with the story of a Sudanese woman
he interviewed during his work in
Darfur. The woman, who he called
Hawa Awad in a story published by
Response magazine, was gang-raped
by six men in an attack on her
village in Darfur, and lost her
husband, Jeffrey said. She became
pregnant from the rape and now has
a daughter to tend to.
“What can they be hopeful for?”
Jeffrey asked, saying that the people
of Darfur have to fear being killed by
their government, and that humanitarian efforts by other countries are
either running out of resources or
simply not doing enough.
“We gather today because we are
concerned for them, but also
because we are concerned for
ourselves, concerned for our lack of
outrage,” he said. He also expressed
the feeling of uncertainty the
Sudanese victims like Awad feel
each day.
“Does she rise with hope that
things will change in that bloodstained land?” Jeffrey said. “The
answer lies with you and I.”
Piercy declared April 30 “Rally to
Stop Genocide Day” as part of the
day’s events, and called upon the
U.S. government to do more in
the effort to combat the genocide
in Darfur.
Jeffrey said that he had seen
increased support for the victims’
cause over the past year, and noted
that something as grave as genocide
goes beyond political boundaries
in the U.S.
“This is not a blue-state, red-state
issue,” he said. “You’ve got people
across the political spectrum
concerned about Darfur.”

the rain and freezing temperatures
and stuff.”
Horner believes this increased
contact acts as a diversion to many
potential bike thieves. He also attributes some of the decline to the fact that
several prolific bike thieves in Eugene
are currently in jail.
Bike theft on campus and around
Eugene has always been a problem,
Eugene Police Department Sgt. Mark
Montes said. Lane County’s meth
problem plays a role in bike theft on
campus, both Horner and Montes said.
“What drives most bike thefts here
are drug users,” Horner said. “Lane
County has one of the worst meth
problems in the country. This is a
quick fix. These guys literally swap
bikes for drugs. There’s no money
involved, they just swap bikes
straight across.
“Last year, one of our officers and
one of our campus-detail EPD officers
made a contact here on campus,”
Horner said. “Our officer saw the guy
casing bike racks and followed him
for a while.
“Then he finally saw the officer and
was going to take off,” Horner said.
“So he contacted him. In talking to
him, (the officer) was able to start putting together an interesting case. He
admitted that he was stealing bikes
here and that there was a particular
place — a residence that was not far
from campus — that was taking bikes
in exchange for drugs ... I can’t
remember the exact address, but it was
probably five blocks from here.”
Bike thieves often exchange $700 to
$1,000 bikes for as little as $25 worth
of heroin or meth, Montes said.
Montes and EPD officer Dallas Hall
both said bike theft prevention begins
with bike riders recording their bike
serial numbers, registering their bikes
and locking them properly.
DPS has been successful at preventing a lot of criminal activity on
campus, Hall said.
“One thing’s for sure, the criminal
faction ... they don’t want to draw
attention to themselves, and when
they get contacted, that’s a deterrent,”
Hall said. “They might not have been
doing a crime right then. But, they
know that DPS knows they’re there
and they’re getting contacted, (so) they
tend to move on.”

Immigration: Rally today examines immigrants’ contributions to the U.S. economy
Continued from page 1
futures,” association President
Eduardo Pena said as he started the
forum. Pena, an immigrant from El
Salvador, shared the association’s
goals of teaching English and basic
life skills to newly arrived
immigrants. He also stressed the
importance of providing doctors to
group members who have endured
physical and emotional distress.
“Eighty percent of our people do not
have medical insurance,” Pena
announced, pronouncing his English
words slowly and deliberately. “Our
association is trying to set up ourselves
in a self-improvement process.”
Midway through the evening, the
forum focused attention on current immigration laws and the immediate
need for reform. Guadalupe Quinn,
regional coordinator for CAUSA, an
active group for Latino and immigrant
communities in Lane County, commented on the Bush administration’s
stance concerning immigration.
“Our immigration laws are awful;
they’re broken,” she stressed.
“Their focus has been only on their
(immigrants’) cheap labor, not on
their families.”
Quinn also attempted to remove the
stigma of the “undocumented
immigrant,” clarifying the long and
complicated legal process to actually
become
a
U.S.
citizen
—
taking time that most immigrants
simply do not have.
“Don’t kid yourself that immigrants
want to be here undocumented,”
Quinn said firmly. “They have
no choice.”
Today, there will be a rally at the
Eugene Federal Building, at East
Seventh Avenue and Pearl Street, in
honor of immigrant workers. Beginning at 4 p.m., the rally takes place on
a day when immigrant workers across
the nation are asked not to buy
anything or go to work to reveal their
essential economic contribution.
“Despite what people think,”
Quinn said, “this country needs
those immigrants in our workforce.
… People in Washington don’t
have a clue what it’s like to be
an immigrant.”
Ruth Forman, supervisor of the
Oregon Health and Science University
Intercultural Psychiatric Program,
spoke on her program, which treats
immigrants who need mental health
therapy after experiencing political
violence and its repercussions. She
noted the approximately 22 million
internally displaced refugees worldwide, commenting on Latin America’s
increased aggression and persecution
over the last several years.
“We have realized trauma that is
inflicted by another human being
tends to have more consequences,”
Forman explained. “We offer a healing
space for our survivors.”
The five-year-old Eugene clinic
currently represents members from
10 countries, overwhelmingly from
Guatemala, offering them social,
legal and emotional services that
help assimilate them into the U.S.
“We are trying to build this bridge
between the two cultures,” Forman
said, adding that it allows members
to feel safe and welcomed. The
group, subsisting mainly from
volunteer work, even celebrates
holidays together, because many
immigrants are separated from
their families.

“We try to hire the best person,
period. I don’t care what their race is, I
don’t care about their ethnic background, I don’t care anything about
them, except that they are the best person in their fields, and that they are the
best person at teaching our students,”
he said. “Anything else, as far as I’m
concerned should not count, and if the
University makes it a policy where this
is going to count, then we need very
serious scrutiny from the outside.”
Anne van den Nouweland, an
associate professor of economics, said
that using ethnicity, sexual orientation
or political views as criteria for hire will
foster feelings of prejudice.
“This person is never going to be
able to shake loose from the impressions of outsiders that they were hired
because they were (diverse),” she said.
“In this way you end up damaging the
people you are trying to help.”

two weeks to hear more feedback and
to formulate formal suggestions.

need to listen to all of those voices.

Participants
marched on
Olive Street
in the Take
Back the
Night rally to
raise
awareness
about sexual
assault.
Volunteers
gave out
buttons that
read “got
consent?”
Those who
said they are
survivors
wore blue
ribbons.

The Take Back the Night March
began in the U.S. in 1978 in San
Francisco. The ASUO Women’s
Center and Sexual Assault Support
Services put on the event every
year locally on the last Thursday of
every April.
Crosby began her speech Thursday
by clarifying what she called the
“f-word,” or feminism.
Crosby denounced the stereotype
that feminists are angry men-haters
who are always looking for a fight.
“A revolutionary is a lover,” Crosby
said, quoting Brazilian educator Paulo
Freire. “When people fight back to
claim their humanity, that’s not
violence, that’s love.”
Heather Huhtanen, the Sexual
Assault Training Institute director
for the Oregon Attorney General’s
Sexual Assault Task Force, was the
first speaker. She had the women in
the crowd chant, “Let’s take back
our bodies, let’s take back our
Helpful hints to reduce ‘hay fever’ symptoms
autonomy, let’s take back our
autonomy and let’s take back our
sexuality.” She also challenged the
men in the crowd to speak out
about sexual violence.
Persson and Lezlie Frye spoke out
for transgender and disabled people,
saying that differences between people
are often used to justify violence.
The Eugene Radical Cheerleaders,
made up of female University
students, opened and closed the rally
with dances and chants regarding
sexual violence.
“I drank ale, I drank stout, I passed
out, that is not consent,” they cheered.
At dusk, the crowd marched and
was met by local samba group
Samba Já at East 15th Avenue and
Alder Street, and both groups
marched to the Free Speech Plaza in
downtown Eugene.

Duck football
Spring game finds defense shining
Four turnovers helped the green
team pull out a 26-17 victory
over the white team on Saturday
BY LUKE ANDREWS
SENIOR SPORTS REPORTER
SHAWN MILLER
FULL-COURT PRESS
Otherwise
stellar team
marred by
accusations
Granted USC has played in the championship
game the past two seasons and won a share of
the title three years ago, but what is going on with
the accusations and draft status of the Trojans?
Former quarterback Matt Leinart as well as
running backs Reggie Bush and LenDale White
all dropped further in the NFL Draft last weekend
than many predicted. The teams that drafted
players from the trio are lucky.
First of all, Bush was the best player on the
board bar-none since he declared himself eligible three months ago. There is a reason that
the Houston Texans are picking first. They
suck and their management sucks. Houston’s
first error was standing behind David Carr like
he is an All-Pro quarterback. Then, the Texans decide to select defensive end Mario
Williams with the top pick.
Leinart slipped to the 10th pick. Congratulations to the Cardinals for getting Leinart, who will
likely take over calling signals for one of the most
potentially dangerous offenses in football.
White fell to Tennessee at pick No. 45. White
would have been a Heisman Trophy winner had
he not played at USC behind Bush. He tore up
every defense he played against and Texas was
incapable of stopping him during last year’s title
game. The guy is a beast and whether he has
character issues or not, who from USC doesn’t?
Surely, there aren’t a lot of differences between former Trojans that can hack it (ie.,
Carson Palmer) and the ones that can’t (see
Sean Salisbury) in the NFL. They are all cocky
mothers that know everything there is about
everyone and football.
NCAA and the Pacific-10 Conference are currently investingating whether Bush accepted benefits, and it was announced Sunday that Dwayne
Jarrett, a junior receiver that will likely enter next
year’s NFL Draft, is being investigated for his living arrangements.
Jarrett lived with Leinart in an apartment that
cost approximately $3,900 per month, according
to the Los Angeles Times. Both paid $650 per
month and Leinart’s father covered the difference. While it may be acceptable for Bob Leinart
to pay the difference for his son, it isn’t for another athlete.
Just when you think you’re helping someone
in need, it gets you kicked in the rear, right, Bob?
Maybe we should ask USC football coach
Pete Carroll. The guy says the right things,
makes the learning experience a blast for his
student-athletes and wins a ton of games.
If his name is thrown into the mud like his former and current players have been lately, I just
won’t know what to do. USC, with its two fingas
in the air like a playa motto, is an elite institution
which focuses on the student.
Hey NCAA committees, NFL general
managers and all of you jerks trying to bring
down the famed Trojans, just lay off. They already have enough to worry about besides
rules and restrictions.

Defensive back Matt Harper intercepts a pass during Oregon’s spring game Saturday. Harper finished with two
interceptions and five tackles as the green squad won 26-17.
Nine penalties, three interceptions, three
fumbles, a blocked punt, a safety, a missed extra point and a missed field goal were in the
mix during Oregon’s annual spring game
Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
The sloppy two-hour and 40-minute
scrimmage ended with a 26-17 victory for
the Dennis Dixon-led green squad in front of
6,880 fans.
So what is a coach to make of the age-old
question relating to mistake-filled intrasquad scrimmages? Is it good defense or
bad offense?
“I was disappointed with the turnovers, excited about the takeaways. As a head coach,
you get put in a tough situation when those
things happen,” Oregon coach Mike Bellotti.
“I was very pleased with the defense. Anytime
you get four or five turnovers, that’s exciting
because there were several times where the
ball was stripped or knocked out.
“I’m not excited about the offense’s sense
of urgency about controlling the football.”
Dixon finished with no interceptions, but
did lose one fumble.
Brady Leaf and the white team committed four turnovers, and Leaf threw
three interceptions.
Leaf and Dixon split time in the final four
FOOTBALL, page 8
Duck softball
Cook fires Oregon’s first perfect game
After Alicia Cook’s gem on Friday, Cal pitcher
Kristi Thorson shut down Oregon’s offense
BY SHAWN MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR
The Oregon softball team ventured from one of its highest
points to one of its lowest over
the weekend.
On Friday, Alicia Cook
pitched a perfect game as
Oregon shut out Stanford, 9-0.
Two days later the Ducks
were no-hit during a 6-0 loss to
No. 7 California.
Cook didn’t allow a ball out
of the infield, and after throwing three straight balls to Erin
Howe with two outs in the fifth
inning, Cook was able to get
Howe to ground out to secure
the perfect game against the
Cardinal (34-12 overall, 7-8
Pacific-10 Conference).
“I didn’t even really think
about it until the fifth inning,”
Cook said. “It was just
awesome, indescribable really.”
The Ducks (21-20, 3-10) were
up 4-0 at the time and added
five more runs in the bottom of
the fifth to end the game on the
eight-run rule. Joanna Gail hit a
1-1 pitch over the left-center
field fence for a grand slam to
end the game.
“I was just trying to think
‘Good pitch, good swing, single
up the middle,’” Gail said.
“When you put a good swing on
a good pitch that’s all you can
hope for. They’ve been jamming
me all series and so I went up
with the plan to hit that inside
pitch. She came in with it and I
was ready for it.”
Oregon scored its first four
runs in the third inning. After
Amie Morris grounded out to
open the bottom of the inning,
Kristi Leiter was hit by a pitch
with a full count. Suzie Barnes
then slapped an RBI triple into
the right-field corner. Sari-Jane
Jenkins followed with an RBI single before Breanne Sabol and
Beth Boskovich hit back-to-back
RBI doubles. Lovena Chaput hit a
single to put runners on the corners, but a strikeout by Kayleen
Hudson and a groundout by Gail
ended the inning.
“I think this whole season
we’ve just been one hit away,
one defensive play away,” said
Jenkins, who was one of five
Ducks with at least two hits.
“Today, we finally got to put it
all together. We just had fun and
played a good game.”
The Ducks won 5-1 over the
Bears (40-10, 8-7) to open play
Saturday. The game resumed in
the third inning after being postponed by rain in Berkeley,
Calif., on April 7. Oregon had
the bases loaded with one out
and a 2-0 lead.
The Bears got out of the jam
without giving up another run
in the inning and they cut the
lead in half by scoring one run

pitch was dropped behind the
plate by Morris. Woods smacked
the next pitch out of the park.
“If we would have caught that
pop out that home run doesn’t
happen in the first inning,” Arendsen said. “I actually thought Harris
made a really good pitch. It was up
in the kid’s nose and she went up
and got it. That’s a good hitter. We
should have walked her. That’s my
problem. We should have walked
her and loaded the bases.”
The Ducks allowed two more
runs in the third inning and another in the fourth. Meanwhile, at the
plate, Oregon was inconsistent.
Thorson struck out six in a row
during the fourth through sixth innings and only two Ducks were
able to hit the ball out of the infield
— Sabol flied out to center field to
begin the bottom of the seventh
and Jenkins flied out to end the
third inning.
“She’s a great pitcher,” Jenkins
said. “She has ideal location for a
pitcher. She hits her spots. She’s
smart, she knows what to pitch
to certain batters. She mixes up
the rhythm.
“She’s hittable, we just
struggled today.”

in the bottom of the inning. However, Oregon scored three runs in
the fifth and Oregon pitcher Amy
Harris retired the final nine batters
of the game.
Then Oregon ran into Kristina
Thorson. The Bears pitcher threw
two complete games, allowing
only two hits and no runs.
“She moved it around. We didn’t adjust well,” Oregon coach
Kathy Arendsen said. “We chased
balls in the dirt, we took balls on
the outside corner for strikes. In 14
innings we should have made
better adjustments, we didn’t.”
In the second game Saturday,
Thorson retired 11 straight batters
at one point and the final seven
batters of the game to secure a 4-0
win. Sabol’s first inning single and
Hudson’s two-out fifth inning double were the two Oregon hits. The
Bears scored all four runs in the
first inning.
On Sunday, Thorson struck out
11 and allowed only three runners
to reach base — two were hit by a
pitch and one was walked — to
pick up a 6-0 win.
Cal struck in the first inning as
catcher Haley Woods bombed a
two-out three run homer over the
left-center field fence. Woods took

Four former Ducks were selected
during
last
weekend’s
NFL
Draft highlighted by defensive tackle
Haloti Ngata.
Ngata, who was picked 12th by Baltimore, will join quarterback Kellen
Clemens (No. 49, New York Jets), receiver Demetrius Williams (No. 111, Baltimore) and defensive back Justin Phinisee
(No. 235, Tampa Bay) in the NFL.
The Ravens traded up one spot with
Cleveland to select Ngata, who was in
Las Vegas with his family during the
broadcast. He left Oregon after his junior season with the career record of
blocked kicks (seven) as well as Oregon’s first Consensus All-American
since Mel Renfro in 1962.
Clemens was the third overall selection for the Jets, who took offensive
linemen with their first two selections
of the draft. D’Brickashaw Ferguson, a
tackle from Virginia was made the
fourth overall selection, and Nick Mangold, a center from Ohio State, was
taken at pick No. 29.
Williams fell further than most analysts predicted, as the 14th overall
wide receiver selected. Only four of the
Ravens’ 10 picks were on the offensive
side of the ball. Williams is one of
seven receivers on the Ravens roster.
Phinisee was a one of three seventhround selections by Tampa Bay. The
Buccaneers spent six of 10 picks on
their offensive and defensive lines.
Phinisee was the 16th cornerback
selected overall.

Football: Matt Harper’s two interceptions lead Oregon’s defensive corps
Continued from page 5
games of last season and were expected to battle for this year’s starting role
in the spring. Following the conclusion
of spring drills Saturday, offensive coordinator Gary Crowton was clear on
who the starting quarterback will be.
“Right now, Dennis is the starter
and Brady is the backup,” Crowton
said. “Brady’s battling to try and win
that spot. I want him to battle to try
and win that spot because it puts
pressure on Dennis to get better.”
Free safety Matthew Harper, a newcomer this spring out of the City College of San Francisco, was on the receiving end of two Leaf interceptions,
including on the game’s opening drive.
He also recorded five tackles.
“Matthew Harper made some bigtime plays on defense. I’m very
pleased,” Bellotti said. “I’m excited to
talk about him because he’s been a
playmaker all spring.”
Fellow defensive backs Jameel
Dowling (green team), Terrell Ward
and Jackie Bates (both on white team)
each recorded a game-high eight
tackles. Free safety Ryan DePalo
recorded seven tackles.
“I feel good about our defensive secondary. I think it was an area people
were concerned about, losing an AllAmerican (Aaron Gipson) and AllLeague corner (Justin Phinisee), but I
really think we have some choices and
some options,” Bellotti said. “And that
was without our two best safeties,
Patrick Chung or J.D. Nelson, even
suiting up this spring.”
The white team started the scoring
Saturday after wideout Jaison
Williams got behind Dowling for a
33-yard touchdown reception from
Leaf. Dante Rosario caught the twopoint conversion. Dixon responded
and found Garren Strong for a 31yard touchdown pass on the very
next possession.
The green team took its first lead of
the game after a fumble on the ensuing kickoff led to a 20-yard field goal by
Matt Evensen.
The white team recaptured the lead
after tight end Brandon Bair blocked a
punt and running back Andiel Brown
sprinted 25 yards to set up a one-yard
sneak by Leaf. The extra-point attempt
failed, resulting in a 14-10 advantage.
Running back Jonathan Stewart
highlighted the next scoring drive for
the green team by gaining 38 of his
game-high 74 rushing yards in the 10
play, 80-yard march. Stewart capped
the drive with 10-yard touchdown run,
making the score 17-14.
Morgan Flint’s 26-yard field goal
knotted the score at 17. Dixon then orchestrated a six-play, 39-yard drive in
the final 1:39 of the fourth quarter,
highlighted by a 21-yard pass from
Dixon to Strong and an 18-yard run by
Terrell Jackson to the one-yard line.
Dixon finished the drive with a sneak
into the end zone with 1:10 remaining.
The green team forced a safety
on the game’s final play to seal the
26-17 victory.
Dixon completed 14 of 25 passes for
114 yards on the afternoon. Leaf was
19-of-31 passing for 285 yards. He was
also sacked seven times.
“I thought both quarterbacks
had some great plays and both
quarterbacks had some poor decision
plays,” Bellotti said. “We’re just not
quite on the same tempo.”
Bellotti attributed the lack of timing
to splitting up the personnel for the
scrimmage and was quick to remind
everyone that the quarterbacks are still
a work in progress.
“People forget … in four games (last
season), they each played about two
games worth. So they’re really fairly
young quarterbacks,” Bellotti said.
“They will get better. I still think
they’re as good as Kellen Clemens was
as a sophomore.”
Stewart, the undeniable starter
at running back to replace the departed Terrence Whitehead, answered questions this spring about
his nagging injuries.
Stewart missed parts of last year
with an ankle injury and times this
spring with turf toe. Saturday, he carried the load for the green team, finishing with 74 yards rushing on 10 carries.
“I’m feeling pumped up,” Stewart
said. “I’m going to take advantage of
the whole summer working out and,
GET CARDED
hopefully, come out with a bang
(next season).”
Jeremiah Johnson, who is expected
to share time with Stewart in the
backfield, finished with 45 yards rushing on 11 carries. He also hauled in five
catches for 79 yards.
While some personnel questions
were answered in the spring, Crowton
and Bellotti are still uncertain about
who will step-up as the go-to receiver
next season.
The position is deep with Cameron
Colvin, James Finley, Jaison Williams,
Kyle Weatherspoon and Strong all returning, but not one has emerged as
the viable leader — a hole left by
Demetrius Williams, Bellotti and
Crowton said.
Bellotti complimented the play of
Strong (73 yards) and Weatherspoon
(57 yards), but said he “didn’t see
much from the others.”
The Ducks open the season on Sept.
2 at home against Stanford.
