Deadline: ASUO wants support Ml Continued from Page 1A years ago, Johnson said. “I’m sure that there are students who would like to have more lee way,” she said. “But you have to get going really quickly [in a class] and get focused. That's the real concern.” Student leaders said the current week-long deadline forces the op posite problem on students: It keeps them in classes they don’t want to be in. “[Professors] don’t want stu dents in there that are just there because they have to be,” Colwell said. “Students really are having trouble dealing with how things are now.” The ASUO decided to chal lenge the University’s policy as part of its activist student govern ment, Miner said. This is the first campaign the entire ASUO staff, and not individual ASUO teams, will work on. Student leaders are confident students feel strongly about this issue, Miner said. They haven't challenged it for four years be cause nobody rallied them around it, he explained. “If we tell [students] the prob lem and then give them the solu tion, they’ll be for us,” Colwell said. “It’s something that we real ly feel has to happen.” @ http://www.nwcities.com A one-stop 'virtual community ' with the most up-to-date and complete information about the entire northwest Bookmark muclties.com £ go there to find restaurants with food you can really sink your teeth info, or whom to call to fix your teeth A great site for a home or great sights along the incredibly beautiful coastline Check out the weather or the business climate Visit us oftenf iURANTS I I : For information, contact: MW Pacific Link. tnc. 491 Laurel Florence.

No one was seriously injured. Officers were then forced to deploy tear gas in the area of the most dangerous and threatening concentrations of people around the original residence, the report said. The officers then dispersed the crowd. Once the police arrived in riot gear, Shepard said a 30 minute standoff occurred be fore the officers used tear gas. Day said the police did not talk with them personally be fore they used the tear gas, al though a warning was made to the crowd to disperse. He said when the police ar rived the second time, the only people on the lawn in front of the house were Day, Shepard, one other resident of the house and the band that played at the party. “There were, like, seven people in our yard watching what was going on, and they tear gassed us,” Day said. “After that, everybody was just mad and drunk and just started throwing all of their beer bottles at the cops,” Shepard added. Eugene police officers who responded to the riot were un available for comment Sun day. Eugene Police Sergeant Jim Ryall, uninvolved in the situ ation, said officers attempt to make contact with residents before taking actions such as using tear gas, but that reach ing the residents is sometimes not possible. Ryall said the responsibility is to first respond to violations of the law and then take care of other problems. “We have to take care of the ordinance violations,” he said. “Then [the officers] will deal with whatever problems come to them.” Ian Westbrook, who lives in a house near the party, said both the police and those at the party went too far. “The cops kind of pressed [the situation], and [the party goers] took it the wrong way," he said. Westbrook also said there were numerous parties going on in the area, but that the party in question was the only one at which there were prob lems. It took the officers almost two hours to consider the riot resolved and to clear the area. Two men were arrested for disorderly conduct and inter fering when they approached officers in formation and re fused to comply with orders to leave. One bottle thrower was charged with rioting, dis orderly conduct, minor in possession, drug violations and five counts of attempted assault. A companion was also arrested for disorderly conduct. All were lodged at the Lane County jail. Goat salesman takes ‘stinky animals’ on-line Kenn Evens has started a web page to advertise his exotic animals By Landon Hall The Associated Press BOARDMAN — Just a holler from Kenn Evans’ throat is enough to bring his goats running. “Goaters!” he yells, although the command can be anything, as long as it’s loud. “C’mere! C’mere!” he shouts, and the curi ous amber and white animals skit ter along to see what the commo tion is all about. Evans, 57 has as little trouble luring customers. He sells the goats mainly to people near his ranch in eastern Oregon a few miles from the Washington bor der. He also gets cads responding to in ad he places in a Salem agri cultural weekly. But when a friend across the state in Grants Pass offered to put his goats on the Internet last fall, Evans, who nas little experience •vit) computers ,npeo at tie hence. i think n s going to be a tout for the future,” said Evans, wearing a red ballcap and sunburned cheeks as he surveys his 80-acre ranch. Donna Higgins put Evans’ name and ad on her Livestock World Web site (www.pitchfork.com) for about S29 a month. The site draws thousands of hits a week from peo ple interested in buying an Arabi an horse or a patch of farmland in Missouri. "'U''1"' have fm nd Evans’ listing — or clicked on a postage stamp-sized picture of one of his prized Boers — to check out how to raise one of the exotic animals. One of the first to surf across the site was Shelly Whelan, a St. Paul, Minn., woman who wanted to start a goat-breeding business. She called Evans and bought two goats over the phone. Evans even delivered them while on vacation, taking the 90 pound kids on the plane in pet car riers as he flew to Milwaukee to visit his son. He then helped Whe lan load them into her tiny car for tilt- six-hour trip to St. Paul. "She had to drive all that way with those stinky animals,” Evans said. Evans cleared about $1,300 on the sale but he said the idea of reaching people well beyond the rolling plains of eastern Oregon is much more valuable. Other people have called from all over the country, and Evans handles the sudden interest in his goats w'th he same business sa' vv he . ' !?■ oms other, o'* line ventures. He owns a crane and contracts it out for construction jobs. When he learned of a building boom on the way to the area, he leased a small piece of land along Oregon Highway 395, on which he parked the crane and a sign with his name and number on it. “It’s the same thing with the Web page,” he says. “If you don’t have anything out there, it’s a . lu^h i going to see it.’’
