The second floor had not been worked on since it was first inhabited in 1973. Construction: Lines to be eliminated ■ Continued from Page 1 changes since then. Technology has changed, mak ing the old system less efficient than in the past, Buch said. Regis tration by phone and electronic updates of files have changed stu dent needs at Oregon Hall. The counters were tom out and a reception area was constructed, ^project manager Charlene Lind say said. Students will go to the reception area and then receive directions to the proper depart ments on the floor. The project, which is being done by University workers in Fa cilities Services, is ahead of schedule, Lindsay said. Project coordinators received some help from a project done by several architecture majors in 1996, Buch said. The students identified Oregon Hall as a high traffic building and gave a recom mendation of how the building could be laid out internally. With the new second floor lay out, some of the lobby area will be usable as work space. “We hope that students will see no lines at all,” Buch said. Admissions and registrar em ployees will also have improved facilities. Some of the furniture was moved from Emerald Hall, a building that was later torn down, Buch said. The 25-year-old furniture will be replaced in phases over the summer. The budget for furniture, which is separate from the con struction budget, is not final be cause officials are still consider ccWe hope that students will see no lines at all.

Minor construction also will be done on the information booth on the first floor of Oregon Hall be fore the summer is over. Officials are considering a pro ject for the first floor similar to the second floor, Lindsay said. It would be a more expensive pro ject, which is why a decision has not been made. Two youths accused of backpack theft Two young males were accused of stealing backpacks and other similar items at the law school Tuesday af ternoon. Katie Suver, a recently graduated law school student, was one of the victims. She was studying for the Oregon Bar Exam with a friend at the courtyard outside the former Law School building. Suver had left her backpack on a bench at the other side of the court yard from where she was studying. A young man, apparently an accom plice, asked Suver what time it was in an attempt to divert her attention. Suver said, “Thirty seconds later, a guy came out into the courtyard and said he saw a kid take a backpack." “I thought I had heard something behind me,” Suver said. “I turned around and saw [the thief] walk away with my backpack. We ran after him.” Matt Kemmy, Suver's friend and study partner, ran up the stairs from the courtyard to the entrance of the law school. Kemmy found the juve nile rummaging through Suver’s backpack, which he recognized. He immediately took the young man into the nearby administration office. A secretary then called the Of fice of Public Safety. “[Kemmy] is the hero of the day,” Suver saia. Suver was not the only victim that afternoon. “We’ve got at least four other inci dents, and we don’t know if they’re related to the two young suspects,” said Lt. Joan Saylor of OPS. OPS officers had one suspect in custody and were searching for the second. Because the suspects are under the age of 18, the authorities were unable to release their names. TODAY’S NEWS rJ fj r! r!
