TRACK
The USA Track & Field site selection committee chose Eugene over 2000 and 2004 host
Sacramento late Friday night. The trials take
place from June 27 through July 6, 2008 and
determine which United States track and field
athletes will compete at the 2008 Olympic
Games in Beijing.
This will be Hayward’s fourth time hosting
the trials, the last being in 1980.
“We are ecstatic yet humbled by this
tremendous opportunity,” Oregon Track Club
President Greg Erwin, a former University
distance runner, said in a news release.
The Oregon Track Club submitted the bid
for the trials with the help of Northwest Event
Management and the University Athletics Department.
USA Track & Field estimates the event will
bring more than 1,000 athletes, 500 coaches,
1,000 media representatives and $20 million to
the Eugene area.

Constitution Court will review RRC
Recognition Review Committee’s inspection of
student groups’ loyalty to policies under scrutiny
BY NICHOLAS WILBUR
NEWS REPORTER
TIM BOBOSKY | PHOTO EDITOR
At the Programs Council meeting, David Goward, the Recognition Review Committee
chairman, answers questions about how the new organization will affect student groups.
Student government’s Recognition Review Committee, which
ensures student programs meet
ASUO and University standards,
is facing a review by the Constitution Court that will decide
whether the new committee
is constitutional.
The new committee is generating praise from some student
groups while also raising questions about the committee’s
power and legality from others.
RRC will decide whether student groups’ mission and goal
statements meet standards and
whether those groups are following those statements. Approved
groups are allowed entrance into
the Programs Finance Committee
hearings, where incidental fees
are allocated.
Charlotte Nisser, general manager of campus radio station
KWVA and Constitution Court
justice, said last week that the
court is reviewing and discussing
the duties and procedures of the
Recognition Review Committee.
The court has the authority to review the committee because the
Green Tape Notebook, a book of
rules and guidelines for student
government, requires that it approves new policies, she said.
The committee must be ap-
proved before it can make
a decision.
“I can tell you there will be a
decision in the next week,”
she said.
David Goward, programs administrator and chairman of the
ASUO’s RRC, circulated a memo
at Friday’s Programs Council
meeting with “important clarifications and explanations”
about the new committee. The
memo was mainly in response
to student groups’ concerns
about losing funding through
the RRC process.
Last year, PFC, which will
continue to review mission and
goals statements after RRC,
twice attempted to defund the
Oregon Commentator, a libertarian opinion journal, by denying its mission and goals. Some
PFC members felt the journal
propagated hate speech and
wasn’t advantageous to students or University diversity.
Goward’s memo stated that
RRC does not decide which programs are “worthy of funding”; it
only decides whether a program
is “worthy of ASUO recognition.”
Programs that aren’t recognized can’t receive funding.
“We can unrecognize a group,
which means they aren’t eligible
to go through the PFC process,
and if they cannot go through the
RRC, page 7
Under the new procedures, if a researcher
wants to contact a prospective study participant
by phone, he or she must e-mail the student one
day in advance. These e-mail messages contain
experiment protocol numbers, which callers must
be prepared to verify. The numbers can also be
verified at the psychology department office in
131 Straub Hall.
“We took it pretty seriously,” said acting psychology department head Lou Moses. “We wanted to set some procedures in place that would
help students distinguish between the real and
the phony ones.”
While details vary in the five student reports,
Human Subjects Coordinator Lisa Cromer said
common tricks of the “mystery caller” include
keeping people on the line for up to 40 minutes,

Measure
addresses
complaints
on police
A special election will decide
whether an outside auditor
is needed to review claims
BY CHRIS HAGAN
NEWS REPORTER
The City of Eugene will mail voters’ pamphlets today for a special election that could allow an independent auditor to evaluate complaints against the Eugene Police Department.
The measure is the result of recommendations made to the council by the Eugene Police Commission. The commission spent 15
months studying the police department after
police officers Roger Eugene Magaña and
Juan Francisco Lara were arrested for sexually
abusing more than a dozen women. The two
were convicted in 2004.
Measure 20-106 would amend the city charter so that the city council appoints an auditor and a civilian review board of no more
than seven to oversee the police department’s
response to complaints. The civilian review
board would monitor the auditor and review
closed cases. It would also have the ability to

Measure 37
goes against
Oregon’s
constitution
AARON DECHATEAU| ILLUSTRATOR
dysfunctional society
The prosecutor called the situation
complete dysfunction — a complete
breakdown of the family.
A woman gave birth to a baby girl and
within minutes dropped the child three
stories onto the debris-ridden ground below. A year later, this same woman had
a son. Just minutes after his birth, his
mother dropped him the same three stories to follow his sister’s fate. But this
doesn’t even begin to describe the dysfunction of this legal case.
Lucila Ventura, 18 years old, is
charged with murder, attempted murder,
child endangerment and so on. She
could face 40 years in prison.
Lucila’s father may face 20 years in
prison for the crimes of aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare
of a child. It’s no coincidence that both
father and daughter have been charged
with child endangerment: If Lucila’s
statement is true, both of her newborn
children were the result of Jose Julio
Ventura’s systematic sexual abuse.
Prosecutor Edward J. De Fazio is
correct in his use of the term “dysfunction;” however, further statements from
De Fazio indicate that he, as well as the
rest of the legal system, is failing to take
into account the true ramifications of the
case. When De Fazio states that “(Lucila
Ventura’s mental state) should never
lead to these babies being thrown out
the window, like they were some piece
of garbage,” the lawyer turns a blind eye
to the personal, as well as
societal pressure that led Ms. Ventura to
commit such a heinous act. Indeed, the
Ventura situation provides a concrete example of how certain national policy —
or lack thereof — can have
indisputable, and often upsetting, influences upon any U.S. family.
No one in either Lucila’s school or
family was apparently aware that the
girl was twice pregnant; a fact which
seriously calls into question Lucila’s
educational situation. We’ll get to the
AILEE SLATER
FURTHER FROM PERFECTION
family later.
To begin with, it must be taken into
account that school is mandatory in the
United States, meaning that until the age
of 18 our nation’s children spend an average of six hours a day in an
educational setting most commonly outside of the home. For those six hours a
day, five days a week and
approximately nine months a year, these
kids are entrusted to the care of their
teachers, their principal, their school.
Government should seriously reevaluate
this responsibility of education, when it
was possible for a student’s severe mental and physical ailments to go wholly
unnoticed. The possibility that Lucila
was sexually abused since the age of 13
and was never able to come forward to
anyone and explain her situation shows
her school did not do its job.
Of course, in an age where schools
are allocated money based on standardized test scores alone, it’s hardly any
wonder that Lucila was able to slip
under the radar. When the government
requires children to be in school, yet
decreases funding for education, a situation emerges where young adults are
veritably forced into an unmonitored,
unsafe lifestyle for a large portion of
their journey into adulthood. If there is
not enough money to provide adequate
counseling and teaching (for the teachers and the administration as well as
the students), then the United States
government better be prepared to drop
its requirement of mandatory
attendance in schools.
Or U.S. policy-makers could cordially
remove their heads from their posteriors
and realize that raising good children is
the key to the rise of a great nation. If
children are required to be in school,
then they might as well learn some real
life lessons: how to ask for help, how to
recognize the extremity of their inner
mental state, how to work past a devastatingly problematic family situation.
And, speaking of the family, Lucila’s
is an anthropological study on its own:
Recently immigrated, working lowwage jobs, living in an area of extreme
poverty — a class that, like Lucila, continuously slips under the radar. The
United States is still far behind the rest
of the globe in terms of national, bilingual proficiency, and American egocentrism in regards to the idea of integrating other languages into our
society will only serve to isolate families such as the Venturas. Furthermore,
as long as ethnocentrism and racism
remain the skeleton in the U.S. closet,
immigrant families will never be able
to assimilate to this country and attain
good paying jobs as well as they could.
Most importantly, however, is the way
in which Lucila’s family situation, and
later murder charge, represent the importance of women’s health and
family planning in creating national
policy. It is scary to think how many other Lucilas may emerge should Bush get
his wish and discourage schools and
health facilities from discussing
important options with women, such
proper methods to use birth control and
when to consider an abortion.
Lucila’s case is not an isolated incident. Her decision to murder is as much
related to her mental state as it is to her
family’s and country’s mental states.
Until the U.S. can get its head in the right
place, we all deserve a plea of insanity.

It’s about land. And money. But what is
Measure 37, really?
Measure 37 dictates that owners of property affected by land-use regulations in Oregon
are owed “just compensation” for the loss of
profits related to the restrictions on how they
use that property. It also allows governing
bodies to exempt land from regulations in order to avoid compensating landowners.
Measure 37 applies to land use regulations
already in effect. Thus, many claims for compensation are based on hypothetical and often questionable estimates of profit loss.
Although voters approved Measure 37 in
last year’s election, last week, a Marion County judge found it unconstitutional.
In her ruling, Marion County Circuit Court
Judge Mary Mertens James rightly explained
that Measure 37 forces the government to
make a difficult choice: It must either compensate property owners affected by land restrictions or give up its power to regulate how
land is used. Either way, landowners win.
Nearby landowners and other taxpayers,
however, often lose.
As demonstrated by plaintiffs’ claims in
this case, Measure 37 has been applied or
may be applied unfairly in some Oregon
counties; some property owners have received exemptions from land use laws while
others have not. Developing land around a
farm, for example, can adversely affect that
farm’s groundwater quality. Mixing residential housing and farming can also cause tensions with dust, noise, pesticide spraying and
traffic congestion.
Oregon voters have recognized these conflicts in the past and worked to remedy them.
Oregon began regulating land use in 1973,
and the state has become a model for environmentally-minded urban growth boundaries and other planning measures.
Under Measure 37, the desires of land
owners have precedent over the desires of a
government trying to contend with the multifaceted needs of the environment and city
planning policies.
The measure also forces all citizens to help
compensate landowners with their tax dollars, even if those citizens do not receive benefits or are negatively affected by Measure 37.
There are some cases in which land restrictions have prevented landowners from using
their land in practical and responsible ways. It
is certainly unconstitutional that the government’s power to rule, i.e. make policies which
work toward the greatest good for the greatest number, is compromised by Measure 37.
Moreover, calculating hypothetical lost
profits in today’s currency is a near-impossible task. Without a mechanism to calculate
lost profits, important government policy
stands the very real chance of being overturned simply to appease landowners.
Oregon is not required to make amends for
laws passed by its government. Sometimes
the government enacts policies that are difficult for individuals to cope with, but allocating monetary compensation for lack of a coping mechanism is no way to run a state.
As Governor Ted Kulongoski said Friday,
“Significant policy changes that alter the very
nature of governmental processes and the
rights of individual citizens must be examined and enacted with thoughtful and careful
deliberations.”
Measure 37 is both unconstitutional and
fiscally irresponsible. As this case makes its
way to the Oregon Supreme Court, judges
should follow James’ logic and find this
measure as such.

IN BRIEF
Iraq’s constitution seems
assured of passage
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq’s landmark constitution seemed assured
of passage Sunday after initial results showed minority Sunni Arabs
had fallen short in an effort to veto
it at the polls. The apparent acceptance was a major step in the attempt to establish a democratic government that could lead to the
withdrawal of U.S. troops.
Opponents failed to secure the
necessary two-thirds “no” vote in
any three of Iraqi’s 18 provinces, according to counts that local officials
provided to The Associated Press. In
the crucial central provinces with
mixed ethnic and religious populations, enough Shiites and Kurds voted to stymie the Sunni bid to reject
the constitution.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani issued a decree setting Dec. 15 for
Iraqis to vote again, this time to
elect a new parliament. If the constitution indeed passed, the first
full-term parliament since Saddam
Hussein’s fall in 2003 will install a
new government by Dec. 31. If the
charter has failed, the parliament
will be temporary, tasked with
drawing up a new draft on which
to vote.

Tropical storm warning
for Cayman Islands
GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands
— A tropical storm warning was in
effect Sunday for the Cayman Islands as a tropical depression
moved through the Atlantic on a
path that could threaten the U.S.
Gulf Coast later this week as a hurricane, forecasters said.
The system was expected to become Tropical Storm Wilma by
Monday, which would make it the
21st named storm of the season, tying the record for the most storms in
an Atlantic season, the National
Hurricane Center in Miami said.
The only other time so many
storms have formed since record
keeping began 154 years ago was
in 1933.
At 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time,
the depression was centered about
150 miles southeast of Grand Cayman, forecasters said. It was moving west-northwest near 2 mph and
had sustained winds near 35 mph.
Depressions become tropical storms
when their winds reach 39 mph.
Neo-Nazis march through
Ohio neighborhood
TOLEDO, Ohio — In the days
leading up to a white supremacist
march, ministers pleaded with residents to stay calm and community
leaders organized peace rallies.
Authorities even delayed releasing the route so protesters wouldn’t
know where the group planned
to march.
It wasn’t enough to stop an angry
mob that included gang members
from looting and burning a neighborhood bar, smashing the windows
of a gas station and hurling rocks
and bottles at police on Saturday.
Twelve officers were injured, one
suffering a concussion when a brick
flew through her cruiser window.
In all, 114 people were arrested
on charges including assault, vandalism, failure to disperse and

Libby, lawyer’s contacts
with Miller questioned
WASHINGTON — New details
about Judith Miller’s decision to cooperate in the CIA leak probe are
raising questions about whether
Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief
of staff and his defense lawyer tried
to steer the New York Times reporter’s testimony.
Chinese space capsule
lands after five days in orbit
The dispute arose as the newspaper on Sunday detailed three conversations that Miller had with the
Cheney aide, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, in the summer of 2003 about
Bush administration critic Joseph
Wilson and Wilson’s wife, covert
CIA officer Valerie Plame.
BEIJING — A space capsule carrying two Chinese astronauts landed
by parachute in the country’s northern grasslands before dawn Monday
following a five-day mission meant
to affirm China’s status as an emerging technological power.
The issue over the contacts between Miller, Libby and their representatives has arisen even though
Libby’s lawyer insists his client
granted an unconditional waiver of
confidentiality more than a year ago
for the reporter to testify.
The astronauts Fei Junlong and
Nie Haisheng were “in good health”
after their Shenzhou 6 capsule
touched down at 4:32 a.m. local
time in the Inner Mongolia region,
the official Xinhua News Agency
said. It said retrieval crews had
reached the landing site and the two
men
were
undergoing
a
medical checkup.
Pakistani officials estimate
higher quake death toll
BALAKOT, Pakistan — Pakistani
officials predicted Sunday that
many more thousands of dead
would be found in earthquake-ravaged Kashmir as heavy rains in the
Himalayan region drenched homeless survivors in mud and misery.
The two astronauts were shown
live on state television climbing out
of their kettle-shaped capsule with
the help of two technicians in red
jumpsuits and climbing down a ladder to the ground. They smiled,
The latest estimate would raise
the death toll from the magnitude7.6 quake in the mountains of
northern Pakistan and India to at
least 54,000 — a jump of more than
13,000 from the official count of
known dead.
A spokesman for the prime minister of the region warned that the
cold and wet could cause further
deaths among the 2 million or so
people believed to be homeless.
About a fifth of the villages in the
quake zone remained cut off eight
days after the tremor turned villages
scattered across lush mountainsides
into death traps, and the bad weather over Kashmir halted aid flights
by helicopters.
New ways to get stem cells
may skirt ethical objections
NEW YORK — Two new mouse
experiments may show how to obtain human embryonic stem cells
without ethical hurdles, a step that
could allow federal funding for such
research, scientists reported Sunday.
Currently, scientists must sacrifice human embryos to harvest such
cells, which can form any tissue
type and are seen as valuable for
studying and treating illnesses like
diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.
Objections to embryo destruction
have led to a ban on federal funding
for such work, which scientists say
hampers research.
The new methods, detailed Sunday in the online edition of the journal Nature, seek to obtain the cells
without destroying embryos.
The Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research, which
advocates federal funding of stem
cell research, cautioned that despite
the goal of avoiding ethical quandaries, the new approaches “will
not sit well with many who oppose
embryonic stem cell research.”

Teach for America
program enlists students
An information session will be
held at noon on Tuesday for students interested in learning more
about the nationwide program
Teach For America.
Teach For America enlists college
graduates to teach for two years in a
public school located in a low-income community.
The program sends members to
schools in 22 regions of the United
States, both urban and rural.
Tuesday’s information session
will begin with a brief video, narrated by actor Harrison Ford, that
outlines the mission of Teach For
America. Annie Lagozzino, a 2004
University graduate who is currently a Teach For America member in Phoenix, will also answer
questions and provide details
about her experience.
The session will be held in the
Ben Linder Forum on the lower level of the Erb Memorial Union. Food
will be provided.
Campus interest in the program
has grown in recent years, said
University senior and ASUO Finance Coordinator Nick Hudson, a
Teach For America campus
campaign manager.
“Everyone is encouraged to
come. We’re shooting for about 50,
but we’d love to have more,” he
said. “The more people we can get
a hold of, the more our mission gets
out in the open.”
Hudson added that the first application deadline is fast approaching.
The first application is due Oct. 30.

EPD: Initial investigation
conducted by hired auditor
Continued from page 1
needed, Poling said.
reopen closed cases and require
more investigation.
The city council unanimously
supports an oversight initiative,
but some councilors do not support Measure 20-106 because it
would amend the city charter.
Currently, the charter calls for
the council to appoint only two
positions — the city manager and
the municipal court judge — and
mandates that the city manager
hire all other positions.
Supporters insist that having the
auditor report to the city council
and not the city manager is essential to making the oversight
system independent.
“If this is administratively implemented, it’s unlikely the auditor will disagree with their boss,”
said Bonny Bettman, Ward 1 city
councilor and a member of the Eugene Police Commission.
Having the auditor overseen by
an elected body will ensure complaints aren’t ignored, as they
were in the Magaña investigation,
Bettman said.
“If the auditor identified problems, and year after year the city
council failed to do anything
about it, they would be voted
out,” Bettman said, adding that
the amendment would also create
a
permanent
process
for
investigating complaints.
“City managers come and go,”
Bettman said, “but this puts in an
independent review of the police
from now on.”
“If we get one complaint every
six months, is that worth the tax
payers’ money?” Poling said.
Poling believes having the auditor
is important but that amending
the charter threatens the city’s
form of government.
“By doing this, what is going to
stop a councilor from putting out
a measure to hire the chief of police?” Poling said. “When is it going to stop, to the point that we
hire the guy that operates the
street sweeper?” Poling believes
that allowing the city manager to
hire the auditor won’t compromise the position, and will increase the oversight system’s efficiency by allowing the auditor to
report to one city manager instead
of nine city councilors, each with
different opinions.
“The auditor will be able to focus on the meat and potatoes,”
Poling said.
Bettman, despite her desire for
an oversight system, wouldn’t
support one in which the city
manager hired the auditor.
“In my opinion, it’s a waste of
money,” Bettman said. “The city
manager could have implemented
this two, five, 10 years ago. It will
remain a situation where police
police the police.”
Under the proposed system, all
complaints dealing with the police
department would first go to the
auditor, who would classify the
complaints and conduct the initial
investigation. Complaints would
be classified as either one of the
following: service complaints;
complaints dealing with officer
performance or police policies; or,
allegations of misconduct, which
could be violations of department
Ward 4 City Councilor George
Poling opposes that independent
review. Amending the charter will
make the positions difficult to get
rid of if the city decides they aren’t
Former Congressman
faults Democratic Party
Jim Weaver, former Oregon U.S.
Congressman and University alumnus, blasted the Democratic Party,
which he described as being in bed
with large corporations and allowing mass importation of goods produced by “10-cent Chinese” in a
speech on campus Friday.
Weaver said the biggest economic
issue facing the country is the competition U.S. producers face with
the importation of goods from Asia.
He also criticized former President
Clinton for involving the country in
the North American Free Trade
Agreement, which he said benefits
large corporations.
“What’s going to happen to our
middle and working class if they
have to compete with 10-cent Chinese?” he said. “The Democratic
Party has got to stop being a party
of cowardice and corporations.”
Weaver, 78, has represented Oregon’s 4th District, which includes
Eugene, for six terms.
Weaver spoke to an audience of
eight people in 128 Chiles, wearing
a muted green button-up shirt and
jeans. He decried the war in Iraq,
the Vietnam War and the Korean
War, although he explained he enlisted after his 17th birthday and
served on an aircraft carrier in the
South Pacific during World War II.
America was defending itself in
World War II, he said. America is the
aggressor in the Iraq war, he said.
“It’s the oil we’re after (in Iraq),”
he said. “There’s no ifs, ands or
buts. Don’t let anybody fool you.”
Weaver said he voted for Sen.
John Kerry, D-Mass., during the
2004 presidential election because
he thought Kerry’s tremendous Vietnam War record was beyond attack
from the Republican Party. He was
wrong, he said.
“I, who hate the Republicans,
misjudged them on how vicious
they can be,” he said.
He supported former Vermont
Governor Howard Dean for his
strong anti-war stance during the
policy, a person’s civil rights or a
criminal offense.
Investigations would still be handled by EPD but would be monitored and documented by the auditor. The auditor would have access
to all investigative materials and be
able to mandate additional investigation. Any discipline would still be
handled by Eugene Police Chief
Robert Lehner.
The city attorney has advised
EPD that they cannot give opinion

Hayward Field: University Housing has committed 1,600 beds
Continued from page 1
University,” Assistant Athletics Director for Media Services Dave Williford
said. “I can’t recall an event that’s been
staged in the area that will have a
greater impact on the state than this.”
Eugene’s bid included promises
for expanding seating capacity at
Hayward. Williford estimated that
Hayward can currently seat about
10,000 and said efforts to temporarily expand seating could boost that
number to about 17,000. The media
box will also be expanded. A new
practice track is under construction,
and a new entrance to Hayward
Field opened in May.
Finding sleeping space for the influx
of people the trials will bring could be
a big task, a task in which Interim Vice
President for Student Affairs and Director of University Housing Mike Eyster
said the housing department is happy
to partake.
“Whenever a big event like this
comes to town the only way the
town can host it is if the University
agrees to provide X number of
rooms,” Eyster said.
University Housing committed
1,600 beds for the trials, University
Housing Director of Food Services Tom
Driscoll said. No specification was
made about which residence halls will
be used, but Driscoll said it’s likely the
new Living Learning Center will be
one of them.
“Given the location right across the
street (from Hayward), it would make
the most sense,” Driscoll said. “It’s
hard to know until we get closer.”
The cost of competing in the bid
process and hosting the event “could
be eye-popping,” Williford said, but
the amount of money the event will
generate for the community will be at
least three times that sum.
The cost was estimated at about $5
million to $6 million in an Oct. 15 Oregonian article.
Eugene has long been hailed as
Track Town, USA, and Williford said
the efforts to secure the 2008 trials
are part of a larger effort to renew
that status.
It’s been a year of change for the
University track and field program,
with Martin Smith resigning as head
coach in March and three-time New
York Marathon winner and University
graduate Alberto Salazar coming in as
University student and running phenom Galen Rupp’s personal coach.
Vin Lananna took over head coaching duties this summer, and Williford
said he’s been making huge strides to
improve the track and field program
and to bring it back into the national
spotlight. USA Track & Field cited in a
press release that one reason for selecting Hayward Field was Eugene’s commitment to the sport.
“I think that’s a large credit to Vin
Lananna,” Williford said. “It was a hire
that paid immediate dividends.”
The Oregon Track Club, Northwest
Event Management and the Athletics
Department will be hosting a press
conference soon to keep the community informed, Williford said.

IN BRIEF
Oregon Trail teachers
on verge of strike in Sandy
SANDY, Ore. —Teachers at the Oregon Trail School District have announced their intention to strike after
failing to reach an agreement with district officials on issues ranging from
health care to employee discipline.
The official notification, which was
faxed to the district headquarters in
Sandy on Friday, said the teachers intend to begin their strike Tuesday, Oct.
25, if the two sides fail to reach an
agreement by Oct. 24.
Sticking points include a lack of
agreement on salary, health benefits,
paid leave, employee discipline, work-
ing conditions and the length of the
teacher contract.
Last week, the school board voted
to close all the schools in the event of a
strike.
Even if an agreement is reached Oct.
24, the more than 4,200 students in the
district will still lose one day of school.
“We would have no way to notify
the community before Tuesday morning,” said Julia Monteith, district communications coordinator. “Students
could return on Wednesday.”
The Wy’East Education Association
and the district began negotiating in
April 2004. In August, the district imposed its final proposal without the
consent of the teachers, saying it was
imperative they start the school year
with a new contract in place.
The teachers had the choice of accepting the terms of the new contract
or going ahead with a strike. If the
teachers follow through, they will become only the second school district in
Oregon to twice walk off the job.
In 1997, Oregon Trail teachers went
on strike for seven days.
There have been 18 teacher strikes
in Oregon, since the collective bargaining law went into effect in 1973.
The Oregon Trail district spans 425
square miles, including the communities of Sandy, Boring, Government
Camp and Welches.

Caller: New policies aim to
protect students from fraud
Continued from page 1
asking inappropriate personal questions, offering to pay people $400 or
$500 for a two-hour study and calling
as late as 11:30 p.m.
In one call, the caller identified his
supervisor as Dr. Suiter, Cromer said.
There is no Dr. Suiter in the University
psychology department or in any other
department at the University.
“It’s very hard to figure out what the
person’s motivation would be in doing
this,” Moses said.
Legitimate researchers never call
late at night or pay study participants more than $7 to $10 per hour,
Cromer said.
Cromer said most of the affected
students are not psychology majors, although they are mostly female.
“It’s not just a psychology problem,” Cromer said. “It’s a campuswide problem.”
All psychology faculty, as well as
graduate and undergraduate students
who perform research under the supervision of faculty members, have
been informed of the situation.
“People are kind of surprised and
disturbed that this is going on,”
Moses said. “It’s a disturbing thing
for the students who are receiving
these calls, and it has the potential
to negatively affect the legitimate research that’s actually going on in
the psychology department.”
One relief for the department,
Cromer said, was that the caller does
not seem to have infiltrated the security of the Human Subjects Pool Web
site, which students in psychology and
linguistics classes use to sign up to participate in studies for class credit.
“He seems to be using the phone
book, basically,” Cromer said.
The psychology department dealt
with similar difficulties in April when
a man was arrested for impersonating
a psychology professor. Moses said the
man derailed a student’s graduation
plan by promising her she could do
her honors research project in his nonexistent lab.
Despite that, Moses said incidents
like this have not happened before
during his 13 years with the
psychology department.
“Very likely, it’s just a random occurrence,” Moses said.
Cromer dismissed the possibility
that the calls could be perpetrated
by someone inside the psychology
department because of the caller’s
transparent tactics and ignorance of
department policies.
“Is it a research assistant having
some fun? I think that’s highly improbable,” Cromer said.
The Institutional Review Board
must approve every study involving
human subjects that takes place at
the University. Juliana Kyrk, Institutional Review Board program officer
for the Office for the Protection of
Human Subjects, said that about
one third of the University’s studies
involving human subjects come
from the psychology department.
Other departments conducting
studies with human subjects include political science, human physiology, anthropology, geography
and the College of Education.
Kyrk said all study participants must
be told the following before they participate: who is doing the research,
what the research involves, how long
the study will last, how confidentiality
will be maintained, who to contact
with questions about the study, the
rights provided by the Institutional Review Board, that participation in the
study is voluntary and that they may
refuse to participate in the study.
“It must be voluntary and noncoercive,” Kyrk said. “The participant always has the right to discontinue participation at any time.”
Cromer said that if a student who is
not currently enrolled in classes that
are part of the Human Subjects Pool or
if that student has not signed up to participate in one of the paid psychological studies advertised in campus locations receives a phone call about a
psychological study, he or she is probably being contacted in error. She recommended requesting the caller’s
phone number and calling back the
next day to ensure that the study is legitimate. Moses also recommended
writing down anything that appears on
a phone’s caller ID.
Moses said any students receiving
phone calls that sound inappropriate
from someone posing as a psychological researcher should contact him
(346-4918 or [email protected])
or the Department of Public Safety
(346-6666).
Gay rights activists
target House speaker
David Smith of the Human Rights
Campaign. “And you could choose
no finer example of that than House
Speaker Karen Minnis.”
The civil unions controversy is the
latest chapter in Oregon’s gay marriage
debate that began in early 2004, when
Multnomah County issued marriage licenses to 3,000 same-sex couples before a judge ordered the county to stop.
Last fall Oregon voters approved a constitutional ban on gay marriage.
Minnis knows she’s in for a tough
re-election fight because of her stand
against the civil unions bill that would
have allowed same-sex couples to gain
most of the benefits of marriage.
“They’re coming after me,” she said
during an interview in Troutdale. “I
think they are going to attack me personally at every given turn.”
At least on paper, Minnis appears to
be vulnerable to a concerted, wellfunded effort by gay rights groups.
Democrats hold an eight percent
voter registration edge in Minnis’
House district in eastern Multnomah
County. And Democrat Rob Brading,
who lost to Minnis by six percentage
points in 2004, plans to run against her
again next year in what promises to be
a higher profile race.
—The Associated Press
TROUTDALE, Ore. — This quiet,
tourism-oriented town east of Portland
could become a battleground as gay
rights activists prepare a campaign to
a topple a Republican legislative leader
who thwarted a move to allow civil
unions for same-sex couples.
Troutdale is in the heart of the district represented by GOP House Speaker Karen Minnis, who enraged gay
rights backers this summer by refusing
to let the House vote on a civil unions
bill that had been passed by the state
Senate with the blessing of the Democratic governor.
State and national gay rights groups
are targeting Minnis for defeat in 2006
as part of an effort to elect more gayfriendly legislators and defeat lawmakers who have opposed giving more
rights to gays and lesbians.
A spokesman for a national gay
rights group in Washington, D.C., said
Oregon is one of several states where
bills to provide more rights to gays and
lesbians have faltered and where activists will work to defeat lawmakers
who stood in the way of the measures.
“There are a handful of states
where a change in a couple of seats
could make a big difference,” said

WRISTBAND CAMP
Students camp out
to join Pit Crew
Students began camping out behind the EMU as early as 7 p.m.
Thursday night to have a shot at
picking up one of the wristbands
that would entitle them to a Pit
Crew T-shirt Friday morning.
Students wearing Pit Crew T-shirts
are allowed to enter University men’s
basketball games early and sit in a special courtside section.
“I’m just a big basketball fan,”
said freshman Nick Larkin, one of
the first people in line. “I heard it’s
crazy, a lot of fun.”
Sophomore David Van Der Haeghen
recalled his first experience waiting for
a Pit Crew T-shirt last year, when the
distribution was done in front of
McArthur Court the morning of the
Ducks’ first exhibition game.
“Ernie Kent came out and brought
everyone who spent the night coffee
and doughnuts and juice,” Van Der
Haeghen said. “That was pretty much
when I decided I was going to make
this camp-out thing annual.”
Some of the campers discussed
quizzes on Friday morning, and others
had textbooks open amidst card games
and movies on laptop computers.
Van Der Haeghen said he eventually
planned to get some sleep.
“The concrete doesn’t really
prove the most adequate, but I’m
going to try,” he said.

IN BRIEF
Oregon town honors
soldier killed in battle
PENDLETON, Ore. — The family
and friends of Warrant Officer Adrian
Stump gathered Saturday to celebrate
the life of the Oregon National Guard
pilot killed in combat in Afghanistan.
Sgt. Jonathan Moore, a childhood
friend who served with Stump, said
Stump taught him two important
lessons: “Love your family, and if
you want something, go get it..”
Passion for life and love of flying
were the theme for the speakers at a
memorial service held at the Pendleton
airport for Stump, who died Sept. 25 in
Deh Chopan, Afghanistan, while co-piloting the lead Chinook in a convoy of
helicopters on a combat mission.
“He had an enormous heart ... and
true passion for life,” said his uncle,
Joe Deutz.
Gov. Ted Kulongoski, continuing
his pledge to attend the funeral of
every Oregon soldier killed in
Afghanistan and Iraq, said that
Stump clearly believed in “duty,
honor and service to country.”
Maj. Gen. Fred Rees, commander of
the Oregon National Guard, noted that
at just 22, Stump had become a combat pilot with more than 300 hours of
flying time. He was the youngest pilot
in his unit.
“There is joy that Adrian was able to
spend most of his young life doing
what he loved,” said Rev. Mike Fitzpartrick, who led the service attended
by about 1,500 people.
Stump was posthumously awarded
the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart,
which Rees presented to his parents,
Jerry and Anne Stump.

RRC: PFC makes decisions about funding
Continued from page 1
PFC process, they cannot receive
funds,” he said.
In the memo, it states that “The
only instance that a program might
not qualify for continuation of recognition is if its Mission and Goals
statements have drastically changed
since the previous year.” Last year,
every program was reviewed by the
PFC before receiving funding.
However, Goward said in an interview Thursday that recognition is
also contingent on group membership, fulfillment of mission and goals
statements, and whether the group is
consistent with regulations.
Goward said it is likely the RRC
will recognize all current groups.
But he later said that Designated
Driver Shuttle, which is on probation
for having alcohol in its office for the
second time in five months, could
lose funding.
Goward said that in 98.9 percent
of cases, programs lose recognition
after somebody files a grievance —
a formal complaint — with the
ASUO Executive or the Constitution
Court. Nobody has filed a grievance
against DDS.
Community Internship Program
liaison Richard Malena said after
the meeting he’s glad the RRC will
be streamlining the PFC process and
making it faster and easier in
the future.
“I think it’s a great idea if it eliminates mistakes,” he said.
Student
Senate
President
Stephanie Erickson questioned during the meeting whether the committee does or will have any bylaws.
Goward told her that officials will create the committee based on a memo
from former ASUO President Adam
Petkun, who established the basis for
the RRC near the end of his presidency in May.
“If they’re going to be making decisions that affect the incidental fee,
they should have bylaws,” Erickson
said after the meeting. “I don’t think
a memo can be bylaws.”
“I think it would be a more transparent process if they didn’t just stick
with the memo,” Erickson added.
Members of the new committee
will have to abide by the ASUO’s rule
of viewpoint neutrality, a policy that
requires political and religious affilition not be taken into account when
allocating monies to student groups.
“Viewpoint neutrality, that is going to be the crux of the RRC,”
Goward said.
If students on the RRC are members, or have an “overwhelming”
investment in a program, they will
abstain from voting to recognize
that group.
“That is our duty to you,”
Goward told a crowd of program
leaders at the meeting. As a former
member of Assault Prevention Shuttle, Goward said he will not be voting during its hearing. Also, Senator
Mike Filippelli, who is sitting on the
RRC, will not be able to vote on
Amnesty International.
The first “meet and greet” RRC
meeting will be held today at 6 p.m.
Goward said he will post the location outside the ASUO office, EMU
Suite 4, sometime today. It is open
to the public. RRC members will
discuss how to conduct meetings
and will create a list of member conflicts of interest.
This year, RRC will review the first
30 programs alphabetically and 15 to
20 new programs. The hearings
should be complete by Nov. 10.,
Goward said.

Jordan Schnitzer Museum
opens Japanese art exhibit
Gallery unveils prints
from early 18th and late
19th century Japan
BY EMILY SMITH
NEWS REPORTER
The University’s Jordan Schnitzer
Museum of Art recently introduced
its fall 2005 exhibition, “Inside the
Floating World: Japanese Prints
from the Lenoir C. Wright Collection,” which will be on display
through Jan. 8, 2006. Admission to
the museum is free for University
students, faculty and staff.
The exhibit features colored woodblock prints from the early 18th
through late 19th centuries that depict the urban culture of Edo, Japan,
at the time. The artistic movement of
this period is known as ukiyo-e,
meaning “pictures of the floating
world,” which references with the
world of escapism and pleasure characterized by the Kabuki theater and
the Yoshiwara, a licensed brothel district on the outskirts of Edo.
The prints range from simple and
faded to intricate and vibrant, depicting different scenes from Japanese
plays, landscapes of Mt. Fuji and pictures of Japanese women.
The Kabuki theater often told stories
of samurai vendettas, ill-fated romances, slapstick comedies and tragic
love-suicides. Many of the prints show
dressing-room antics and climactic
scenes from the performances.
Bijinga, pictures of women, was
also a popular theme of the time and
makes up a large part of the exhibit.
Artists made prints of women from
all different classes and professions.
Geishas, who were entertainers
and sometimes prostitutes, and
courtesans, who were strictly prostitutes, both mostly appear adorned in
traditional kimonos.
In addition to the 100 prints the organizers and museum curators selected as representational of the major
themes explored by Japanese artists
200 to 300 years ago, is a

display called “Ukiyo-e Outside In:
Western Impressions of the Floating
World.” This display features artists
from the West who also used color
woodblock printing about a century
later as a medium for Japanese
portraits and scenes.
Sue Reed and her daughter, University alumna Emily Reed, came
from Bandon to see the museum because it was closed while Emily
attended the University.
“It’s beautiful,” Sue Reed said. “It’s
neat to see so many (Japanese woodblock prints), and they’re all so old.”
The exhibit was organized by the
Weatherspoon Art Museum, University of North Carolina at Greensboro,
and curated by Allen Hockley, Dartmouth College.

OSPIRG proposes project to
support progressive candidates
The Oregon Bus Project involves students
and politicians in helping with campaigns
BY LEAH JOHNSTON
FREELANCE REPORTER
Flavio
COURTESY
This ukiyo-e woodblock print is on display at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art .
Oregon Bus Project founder
Jefferson Smith on Thursday urged
attendees of the first OSPIRG
meeting of the academic year to
make their voices heard by participating in politics.
The Bus Project is a movement
that encourages students and politicians traveling around Oregon to
support progressive candidates.
Smith, a native Oregonian and Harvard Law School graduate, said he
started the project to get young people involved in politics and to help
elect progressive candidates through
grass-roots campaigning — essentially, knocking on doors.
“It is a tremendous generation
with the most access to information
than any other in history,” Smith
said. “Hopefully the means of info
won’t be avenues to video games but
avenues to democracy.”
OSPIRG’s leaders echoed
Smith’s remarks.
“Your energy is the energy that
will help our country change,” said
Amber Dawn Hallet, the University’s
campus organizer for the student
chapter of the Oregon State Public
Interest Research Group.
OSPIRG’s agenda for the year includes the Affordable Textbooks
campaign, the Protect the Oregon
Coast campaign and the Hunger and
Homelessness campaign.
“We are trying to communicate
with professors that we don’t want
bundled books, and to keep the old
editions of books ... We are hoping
the professors will communicate this
to the publishers,” said OSPIRG intern Jenny Manning, who is working
on the textbooks campaign.
OSPIRG hopes to get students together in one room at the end of the
term to buy and sell their books,
which means students will get more
money back and not have to pay as
much, Manning said.
OSPIRG’s Protect the Oregon
Coast campaign is designed to combat plans to explore for oil and natural gas off the Oregon coast.
The Hunger and Homelessness
campaign will provide help for community members who are homeless.
Volunteers will conduct surveys in
an attempt to study the cause of
homelessness, said Hailee Newman,
OSPIRG chairwoman for the
University chapter.
Students attending the meeting
said they were inspired by the number of local and world issues OSPIRG
is tackling, and many were motivated to volunteer in the future.
“Volunteerism is so important,”
University student Luis Garcia said.
“If you look back 40 years, most social movements have been started by
young people.”
Approximately 70 students attended the meeting at the University.
“Smith was a big draw for the
night,” Manning said.
OSPIRG meets Mondays at 7 p.m.
at the Survival Center in the EMU.

Ducks defeat Washington, 45-21
Haloti Ngata and Devan Long
provide power in front of QB
Kellen Clemens in a Ducks win
BY LUKE ANDREWS

SPORTS REPORTER
MARCUS LARSON | FOR THE EMERALD
Running back Terrence Whitehead (24) rushed for 44 yards; and hauled in 59 receiving yards, and scored a
touchdown in Saturday’s game against Washington. Whitehead became the third Oregon player to reach 1,000
career rushing and receiving yards.
It took time for the No. 20 Ducks (6-1 overall,
3-1 conference) to get warmed upd

rtaS,o
nbut when
they did, any hopes of the upset-minded Washington Huskies (1-5, 0-3) were quickly dashed as
the Ducks won 45-21 in front of 58,269 — the
fourth largest crowd at Autzen Stadium ever.
Oregon fumbled on the first two plays of its
first two possessions, one of which resulted in a
Washington score when quarterback Isaiah Stanback hit Anthony Russo for a 26-yard touchdown
pass to put the Huskies ahead 7-0.
Oregon quarterback Kellen Clemens quickly
rallied the Ducks, however, assembling an eightplay 86-yard drive, capped by one of two
Clemens’ touchdown passes to wideout
Demetrius Williams.
The touchdown began a streak of 38 points
in the game for the Ducks, who beat the
Huskies for the second straight year at home.
“It’s a great win. The way we started off made
it an even better win,” Oregon head coach Mike
RECAP, page 12

It was Oregon’s defensive line that dominated for the second consecutive game.
The Ducks allowed less than 3.5 yards per
rush on 35 attempts. In fact, the -Huskies
rushed 11 times for 50 yards in the fourth
quarter — mostly against the reserves.
“Throughout the whole week we’ve been
studying their weaknesses,” Haloti Ngata
said of Washington’s offensive line. “They
play light on their feet. We decided that if we
basically push them back we can get to their
quarterback. ... My game plan was to push
them back and open up holes for our defensive ends and linebackers to get the sacks.”
Ngata and fellow defensive lineman Devan
Long keyed the attack. Long recorded seven
tackles, two of which were sacks and four total tackles for a loss of 13 yards.
However, Long said Ngata is the difference-maker for Oregon.
“I love having him on my side,” Long said.
“He’s just a plug. Our two tackles are doing
all the work and they are letting me and Vic
(Filipe) just run around and be the little
quick guys and make plays.”
The two veterans on the defensive front
have led an Oregon defense that has allowed
a minuscule 108.4 rushing yards per game
average this season, ranking third in the
Pacific-10 Conference. The Ducks have also
given up only six rushing touchdowns, tied
for second best in the conference.
“Haloti Ngata compressed that pocket all
day today,” Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti
said. “I really thought our defense played
very, very well today in containing (Stanback) and the rest of their offense.”
Washington finished with 238 yards of total offense, 148 yards below its average. The
Ducks held the Huskies to 131 yards of total
offense through three quarters.
“I was very disappointed with our team
today,” Washington head coach Tyrone
Willingham said. “I thought we had
some opportunities today that we didn’t
cash in on.”

Notre Dame shows its mettle in defeat
BY TOM COYNE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Even in defeat, Notre Dame played like
a champion against top-ranked Southern
California.
More so than the Fighting Irish did during
an 8-0 start under Tyrone Willingham three
years ago. More so than when they lost in
overtime to No. 1 Nebraska in 2000 on their
way to the Fiesta Bowl. More like a champion
than at any time since beating No. 1 Florida
State in 1993.
Charlie Weis couldn’t pull out the victory
against the Trojans on Saturday, losing 34-31,
but he pulled out all the stops in waking the
echoes. He managed the clock, he managed
the crowd and, even in losing, he managed to
restore the glory that’s been missing from
Notre Dame for 12 years.
“They’re going to be a real problem for
everybody,” USC coach Pete Carroll said. “I
don’t see any way that they’re not going to be
a really good program.”
The Irish (4-2) shined as brightly on a sunny autumn afternoon as the school’s Golden
Dome, freshly gilded with 23.9-karat gold leaf
this summer for the first time since 1988 — the
school’s last national championship season.
The tarnish of recent years suddenly disappeared. Two straight non-winning seasons
seemed as far away as Willingham in Washington. The days of Lou Holtz, Dan Devine
and Ara Parseghian suddenly seem more fresh
in the memory.
How impressive were the Irish? Despite the
loss, they stayed at No. 9 in the poll. Sure, the
Irish were ranked higher three years ago after
beating No. 11 Florida State, moving up to
No. 4 after improving to 8-0. But that squad
seemed to win with smoke and mirrors. In two
of those wins the offense failed to score a
touchdown, and the Irish finished the season
with the nation’s 10th-worst offense.
This year’s team is 12th in the nation in total offense, and that’s against the toughest part
of its schedule.
More importantly, Weis is making believers
NOTRE DAME, page 12
FULL-COURT PRESS
Crown the
Pac-10 as
king of all
conferences
The Pacific-10 Conference produces the
most exciting and unpredictable games in the
nation. Therefore, it is the best conference.
I know that a lot of people would love to
debate that, and there are good arguments for
other conferences, such as the Big Ten,
Southeastern and Atlantic Coast Conferences.
But let’s look at all of the major conferences
and eliminate them one by one.
First, the ACC. Sure, there are four
ranked teams, including two in the top 10.
But the bottom line is that they aren’t producing shocking games. If you exclude Virginia’s home victory over then-No. 4 Florida State Saturday, how many other upsets
have there been?
The only legit team the ACC boasts is
third-ranked Virginia Tech. If you put No. 13
Boston College, No. 11 Florida State or No. 6
Miami against any one of the top four teams
in the Pac-10, I could almost guarantee you
that the West Coast would be the victor.
Then there is the Big Ten. Penn State
represents the league with a No. 12 ranking, followed by Ohio State at 14, No. 19
Wisconsin and No. 22 Michigan State.
Once again, four ranked teams, but not
one stands above the rest. There is great
parity in the Big Ten, which has led to several exciting games and it shows with
Northwestern sitting in the top half of the
conference standings. So I can’t honestly
dog too much on the Big Ten; just believe
me ... they are second best to the Pac-10.
The SEC is overrated. Flat out, No. 4 Georgia and No. 5 Alabama are over/under killers
on the betting line. They couldn’t spread
peanut butter and jelly on bread, much less
the point spread on a football game. Seventhranked LSU should have lost to Arizona State
earlier this year. They have three other teams,
Auburn, Tennessee and Florida, ranking 16
through 18, respectively. I think everyone has
seen Tennessee’s and Florida’s collapses this
season. Both are way overrated and basically,
that is all you can say about this conference.
So that leaves the Pac-10 on top. USC
has held the No. 1 ranking for more than
two years. UCLA has escaped near misses
all season and ranks eighth. Oregon has
climbed to No. 15 with California dropping
to No. 25. Four teams are ranked, just like
two other conferences.
My guess is that a majority of pollsters look
at nothing more than game scores when determining where West Coast teams sit on the
chart. In the end, the only things you can
judge a conference on are its non-league
schedule and record and its parity from top
to bottom.
The Pac-10 has been the conference that
beats itself up every week. The non-league
record shows this year so give the Pac-10 the
respect it deserves — as the top conference
in the country.

Horoscope by Holiday Matthis
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (October 17). This year is
huge for you in terms of leaping to the next level of fulfillment in many areas of your life. Over
the next three months, you simultaneously
shed old ways and submit to new rules. Family
supports your radical decision in December.
Travel goes well then, and you could decide to
move, too. Aries and Gemini are affectionate
partners. Your lucky numbers are: 26, 1, 39, 48
and 5.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's not that you're
old, but you are in a rather mellow mood. With
all the stress in your life lately, you look forward to being "chilled out." Dining in and
watching a movie might be all the excitement
you need right now.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Something you
thought was so over is really just beginning.
Surprises like this make you doubt your intuition. Don't worry. Your intuition hasn't failed
you -- you were only thinking too small.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Seriousness is (seriously) overrated. What you need is a bit of
ridiculousness to put everything back in the
proper perspective. Listen to the score from a
musical, or dance around in your funny-foot
pajamas.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can't close
your heart -- not even if you try. You're so sensitive to what people need and how they feel
now. It's nearly impossible for you not to do
something to try to make the situation better.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's not so wrong to
dream about a thriving business, the big house
and the expensive car. But it's not about what
you acquire through this lifetime. It's about
who you become along the way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're hardwired
to believe that you must always be moving in
order to be productive, but it's not true. Inspiration comes when you are most relaxed. By
the way, there's an art to idleness. If you're going to relax, do it right!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Influential people
have an agenda and wish that you would fall in
line with it. However, if you don't think for
yourself, then you're thinking in vain. Take a
stand.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A rebellious activity is featured today -- perhaps it's you rebelling against yourself. Still, you must fight
the battle! You could overturn a habit that was
considered just another regular part of your
routine up until now.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Suddenly,
the potential of a situation crystallizes in your
mind. Envisioning is halfway to making it so.
Hold the image in your head as you go through
your daily activities.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you
hear people talking around the proverbial water
cooler, you'll wonder what happened to good
old-fashioned compassion. Be the example.
Lost souls will be enlightened by your point of
view.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Pull out that list
of places you'd like to go "someday." Your
someday is coming, and this is the ideal time
to find a decent price for transportation. Exceptional luck with the opposite sex is also featured.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your faith has
been strong, but you need to see tangible results now. Ask for a sign, and the stars deliver
one right away. You'll not only be inspired by
it, but you'll also inspire people around you.

Recap: Duck turnovers do
not factor in the outcome
plays with confidence he is
unstoppable.”
Confidence is one of the most important intangibles for a young receiver and that is what both the
quarterback and the receiver have
gained in each other after Saturday’s
performances.
“I can go for negative four (yards)
or I can go for 25,” Williams said.
“As long as I catch the ball I feel like
my confidence will keep going up.”
Continued from page 9
The other Williams
Senior wide receiver Demetrius
Williams is Oregon’s all-time leader
with 100-plus receiving yards in a
game, something he has done 10
times. He is also climbing the record
charts with receiving yardage and receptions in a career, where he ranks
fifth in both categories.
Then there is Jaison Williams, a 6foot-5, 237-pound redshirt freshman.
He followed in the shoes of his mentor and namesake with a breakout
performance against the Huskies,
catching five passes for 55 yards and
one touchdown.
Prior to the game, he had
four catches for 52 yards and
a touchdown.
“Once I got that first ... hit, I just
knew from this point on you’ve got
to start ballin,’” Williams said. “All I
need is Kellen’s (Clemens) trust and
to keep catching the ball and I can do
some good things here.”
Williams caught an eight-yard
touchdown with 23 seconds remaining in the first quarter to give Oregon
the lead for good. He also came up
with a 12-yard reception inside the
one-yard line on a third down and
nine. One play later, the elder
Williams caught a touchdown to get
the Ducks on the scoreboard.
“Jaison Williams is gaining confidence,” Clemens said. “If you just
look at him physically, he’s got all
the potential in the world. When he
Dropping the ball
Oregon put the ball on the turf on
each of its first two touches. Wide receiver James Finley caught a twoyard pass on the first play of the
game, but fumbled it at the Oregon
40-yard line. On the ensuing possession, running back Terrence Whitehead fumbled the handoff from
Clemens on the first play of the second series. Washington recovered
both and the latter was converted
into a touchdown.
On the flip side, Oregon rover
Patrick Chung intercepted a Washington pass on the first play of the
second half. He returned it 26
yards to the Washington 34-yard
line. Seven plays later, Clemens hit
Whitehead for an 11-yard
touchdown pass to give the Ducks
a 28-7 lead.
The Ducks are plus three on
turnover margin this season, ranking fourth-best in the conference
before the game.

Notes: With win, Oregon becomes bowl eligible
Continued from page 9
Bellotti said. “We give them the ball
twice right at the beginning of
the game, turning it over twice.
That’s not the way you want to
start out a big game, especially a rivalry game. I thought our defense
really played well.”
After two Washington punts and
with the score tied at seven, the
Ducks took the lead for good when
the other Williams — freshman wideout Jaison Williams — caught an
eight-yard strike from Clemens to give
Oregon a 14-7 lead.
Clemens finished a record-setting
day by completing 36 of 48 passes for
425 yards and four touchdowns. The
36 completions marked an Autzen
Stadium record and his four touchdown passes moved him into a tie for
second all-time on Oregon’s touchdown list with Bill Musgrave (60).
“Kellen Clemens deserves whatever records he earned today, but he
probably owes the offensive line dinner because they had great protection,” Bellotti said, referring to an offensive line that did not allow a sack
for the second consecutive game.
Oregon took a 21-7 lead into the
half after Demetrius Williams hauled
in a 30-yard touchdown pass midway
through the second quarter.
With Clemens guiding the Oregon
offense, the defense held Stanback
and the Huskies in check, allowing
only 79 yards in the first half.
“Oregon is a good team,” Stanback
said. “We knew that coming in.”
The defense continued its domination in the second half, intercepting
Stanback on the first play of the third
quarter, setting up Clemens’ fourth
and final touchdown pass — an 11yard toss to running back Terrence
Whitehead — to give the Ducks a
commanding 28-7 lead.
Oregon tacked on a Matt Evensen
30-yard field goal and a 17-yard
touchdown run by Jonathan
Stewart to take a 38-7 lead in the
third quarter.
The Huskies managed two touchdowns late in the game before Oregon wide receiver Brian Paysinger
added the final touches for the
Ducks with a five-yard touchdown
run to cap the scoring.
For the second consecutive week,
Oregon’s spread offense accumulated
over 500 yards of total offense.

Oregon wide receiver Demetrius Williams (6) caught five passes for 92 yards and two
touchdowns Saturday during a 45-21 victory over Washington. Williams had to leave the
game with bruised ribs, but is expected to play next Saturday at Arizona.
Clemens accounted for 447 total
yards and Whitehead gained 103
yards combined receiving and rushing. With his 59 yards receiving,
Whitehead’s career total is now
1,022, making him just the third
player in Oregon history to
accumulate 1,000 career yards rushing and receiving.
“We were in a rhythm,” Clemens
said. “We made great halftime adjustments and we have match-up advantages all over. We have some guys
that stepped up, and you can’t single
out one guy to take away.”
Louis Rankin rushed for 72 yards,
while Stanback threw for 111 yards
and two touchdowns for the Huskies.
Defensively, four different players
recorded tackles for losses, including
defensive end Devan Long, who
recorded a game-high four.
Long continually pressured Stanback and the Washington offense,
accounting for 2.5 sacks, which
moves him to third all-time on Oregon’s career sacks list. The Anacortes, Wash., native also moved
into a tie for fifth place in career
tackles for a loss with 40.
Freshman Patrick Chung led the
Ducks with a team-high 11 tackles
and one interception.
“We feel great, we were able to get
the job done,” said linebacker Anthony Trucks, who finished with eight total tackles and two tackles for losses.
Washington lost its third straight
conference game. The Ducks are now
bowl-eligible and will turn their sights
to the Arizona Wildcats and next Saturday’s showdown in Tucson, Ariz.

Notre Dame: Weis pulls out all stops to motivate team
Continued from page 9
of people. Irish players always say
they expect to win. But heading into
the game against USC, it was clear they
believed it. Tailback Darius Walker
talked about hoping for a blowout —
this from a team that lost three straight
to USC by 31. Tight end Anthony
Fasano talked about “when” the Irish
beat USC.
Weis also has made believers out of
fans. Five years ago, when Nebraska
came to town, about a third of the stadium appeared to be wearing red and
the Nebraska fans chanted “Husker
home game!” It was easy to spot the
Trojans fans in the stands Saturday,
but the raucous crowd was clearly behind the Irish and Weis, flooding the
field at the end when they thought the
Irish had won.
Weis worked the crowd into a frenzy all week. He encouraged fans, notso-subtly, to be at Notre Dame Stadium on Friday to harass the Trojans at
their walkthrough, and hundreds of
them obliged. He moved the pep rally
to the stadium so 45,000 people could
attend, then brought Joe Montana,
Tim Brown, Chris Zorich and Daniel
“Rudy” Ruettiger back to stir them.
Then he pulled out the famed green
jerseys, the same way Dan Devine did
in inspiring the Irish to a 49-19 victory
over USC on Notre Dame’s way to the
national championship in 1977.
The only thing Weis didn’t pull out
to try to win was Knute Rockne’s “Win
one for the Gipper” speech.
The loss probably cost the Irish a
shot at a national championship, but it
kept a lot of other hopes alive.
Notre Dame still has a chance for a
Bowl Championship Series berth. If the
Irish win the rest of their games, and
they likely will be favored in those
games — probably heavily favored
against everyone except No. 17
Tennessee — they likely will play in a
BCS game.
So people weren’t talking after the
game about how the Irish have tied a
school record by losing four straight
home games or that Weis became the
first rookie Notre Dame coach since
1900 to lose his first two home games.
They were looking at what the Irish
had shown.
“That we can compete with the best
team in the country and that we belong in the top of the rankings,”
Fasano said.
It’s been a while since many
people
outside
South
Bend
believed that.
