"Because a foil was passed on campus and a large quantity of the money was found at the library, there is a suspicion" that students are involved, Green said. While counterfeiting is not o significant problem in Eugene, Green said the improved technology of color copiers lias led to an inc rease in the number of bills made on those machines. Some of the new copiers on the market employ computer chips that either won't print bills of any denomination, or will turn the end product i uni pletely black, Green said There are a few easy tests to determine if a bill in any denomination is real. In 1990, the Treasury Department started putting narrow polyester threads (.ailed security strips on the left side of bills. The strips denote the bill's denomination Additionally, the words United Stales of Amer ica surround the portrait of any legitimate lull Che micro-printed words, require a maun dying glass to see. One of the problems with a copied bill, said Green, is that the portrait will appear flat as opposed to three-dimensional. Among the easiest ways to dete< t phony money is to compare any suspected cash to the real thing "The only way to adequately duplu ate Ameri can currency is to base the printing plates to do so."

Green said hazing violates the student conduct code and penalties for a guilty finding could lie as severe as revocation of the fraternity's charter Hazing also violates Oregon law. according to l.ane County District Attorney Doug Mar cleroad. "The statute was written in 10H t and has never Immiii used in Lane County." Marc Inroad said, He said he hasn't made a deter mination on how to proceed with the case As defined, the statute is a violation with a fine up to $1,000 if the fraternity is found guilty. great scores... great skills...
