Police Beat
Students cited for
alcohol possession
Five students were cited for
minor in possession of alcohol
on March 7 after police were
called to a residence regarding a
noise disturbance, a police re
port stated.
A Eugene police officer ar
rived at 1679 Orchard St., the
site of two prior complaints of
noise in the previous two
weeks. The officer heard noise
coming from the house, but it
was not loud enough to issue a
citation.
The officer went to the door of
the residence and a man hold
ing a beer in his hand answered
the door. When the man saw the
officer, he attempted to hide the
beer by placing it on a counter
out of sight, the report stated.
The officer then asked the
man for his identification,
which showed he was 19 years
old. Standing outside the door,
the officer smelled a strong odor
of marijuana, the report stated.
The officer entered the
kitchen and spoke to one of the
residents of the house about the
smell. The man then gave the of
ficer a sandwich-sized baggie
with a small amount of marijua
na in it. The officer also confis
cated two marijuana pipes, ac
cording to the report.
The men who spoke to the of
ficer returned to their seats at a
coffee table. Also seated at the
table were three other males. In
front of each person was at least
one bottle of beer, the report
stated.
Those cited included two 20
year-old University students, a
19-year-old student of Lane
Community College and two
19-year-old students of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Small fire occurs
at EMU loading dock
A small fire occurred at the
loading dock on the north side
of the EMU during the early
morning of March 7, a police re
port stated.
A University Housing resi
dent assistant saw smoke from
the blaze at about the same time
as an officer from the Universi
ty’s Office of Public Safety.
The officer said the flames
were about 10 feet high. The of
ficer pulled several large dump
sters containing garbage and
cardboard away from the blaze.
Two chemical fire extinguishers
were emptied onto the fire, but
they failed to put it out. Fire
units responded and quickly ex
tinguished the blaze.
The source of the flame was a
pile of garbage containing
wood, cardboard, paper, two
plastic buckets with a small
amount of paint residue in them
and plastic material, the report
stated.
Based on the location, the
cold, damp weather and the
contents of the fire, it is likely
the blaze was set intentionally,
the report stated.
A small matchbook was
found near the pile after the fire
was extinguished.
Entrepreneurial teams to compete
Student teams from all
over the country1 will
present their business
plans at the event
By James Scripps
Freelance Reporter
Today marks the beginning of
the seventh annual New Venture
Competition, a three-day event
where 10 collegiate teams from
around the country showcase en
trepreneurial business ideas and
compete for over $15,000 in cash
awards.
The team presentations, which
will be held in the Pittman Room
at the Casanova Athletic Center,
are supposed to mimic real-life
business plans.
“The best ideas are real,” said
Debra Bonn, assistant director for
I
the Lundquist Center for Entrepre
neurship. “Five of the teams in last
year’s competition went on to real
ly start their businesses.”
Business plans range from the
mundane to the unusual, Bonn
said. “Last year we had a team that
proposed online grocery shop
ping,” she said. “The Oregon
team, which came in second, pro
posed a business that eradicates
non-native plants.”
No students from the University
were entered in this year’s compe
tition. “Four teams were shooting
for the competition,” said Mark
Lange, Lundquist Center director.
“Even though we are guaranteed an
automatic spot, we didn’t feel like
there was an idea that was solid
enough to take to the competition. ”
Plans for this year’s competition
include a home hemodialysis sys
tem (blood-filtering mechanism);
Get Out!, an outdoor recreation
magazine and a wireless data cap
turing system.
The University of Arizona won
the competition last year. This
year’s team is presenting a busi
ness plan for a product called Cel
Tech, a microchip for cellular
phones.
The inventor of the chip was
paired with Brad Warezak, a 24
year-old University of Arizona
MBA student.
“It’s definitely the type of plan
that I would like to pursue in the
future,” Warezak said. “The prod
uct allows a cellular phone user to
talk longer on the same battery.”
The competition, which is open
to the public, begins today with an
introduction at 4:30 p.m. at the
Valley River Inn.
