EMU: Computer lab
will open on Aug. 10
■ Continued from Page 1
Students who have been frus
trated by the construction and the
temporary closure of the comput
ing center and convenience store
may breathe easier now. The con
venience store is up and running
in the basement, and the comput
ing center, which will reopen
Aug. 10, is now fully equipped
with air conditioning to help beat
the summer heat.
The basement of the EMU is
also open, including the game
rooms, recreation center and bil
liard tables. In addition, an array
of seating options have been
added in food service areas and a
handful of corridors in the lower
area have been widened.
The ASUO Multicultural Cen
ter and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexu
al and Transgender Alliance will
be expanding into the old Foot
notes office soon.
“We hope to have the MCC and
the LGBTA space open in a cou
ple of weeks,” Miller said.
A grand opening of the EMU
will take place during the first
week of fall term, he said. It will
include entertainment and pro
motional events.
“We’re (all of the vendors) eas
ing into the whole thing with a
slow opening," said Kathee
Lavine, Holy Cow owner. “By the
grand opening, we’ll be up to
speed, full force.”
Miller said the crew and staff
will be taking the next six weeks
to smooth over the rough spots in
the renovation.
“We have 101,000 finishing
touches,” he said.
Hyundai: Eugene plant
denies tie to the factory

American,’” said Trim Bissell, co
ordinator for Campaign for Labor
Rights. Americans should be sup
porting the Mexican workers, he
said.
The Han Young case has been
cited as a decisive reason for U.S.
congressional dispute with Presi
dent Clinton over trade with Mexi
co. Reps. Bonior, Gephart, De
Fazio, and Sanders have led
support for Han Young in the
House. In a statement, Rep. Bo
nior, D-Mich., said that the Unit
ed States “has a moral obligation
to exercise leadership to ensure
that our trading partners respect
basic democratic rights.”
The Support Committee for
Maquiladora Workers, represent
ed by Gary Gillespie, also encour
aged support for Han Young work
ers and international solidarity.
“The border relationships be
tween the U.S. and Mexico are
ones of contradiction and connec
tion: the contradictions are easy
enough to find, the connections
are more difficult. What we’re re
alizing is that we’re all workers,”
Gillespie said.
Locally, CISCAP, the Commit
tee in Solidarity with the Central
American People, will hold their
14th annual benefit Sunday at the
Blair Island Cafe, with proceeds
going to Han Young workers.
Eugene Hyundai officials have
denied any relation between the
Tijuana factory and Eugene’s
semiconductor plant. The Tijuana
factory is affiliated with Hyundai
Precision, whereas Eugene’s plant
is affiliated with Hyundai Semi
conductor.
“So far, the example from Tijua
na does not give us great optimism
(for Eugene),” said Christina
Cowger, a spokeswoman for the Ti
juana-Hyundai-Eugene-Coalition.
While supporters of the Han
Young strike have called for a na
tion-wide boycott of Hyundai au
tomobiles, local distributor Roma
nia Hyundai has communicated
its disapproval of Mexican factory
conditions to its supplier.

“We are excited,” said Bill Lah

“We expect to sell

He also predict

would be created.
“I can see an AIDS

In designing a way to give the
public a convenient way to con
tribute to cancer research, Con

Service to implement a new
stamp and indicated that pro

Department’s Medical Research

In addition to the money that
will be raised by the stamp, the
Relay for Life expected to raise
$250,000 this year for local cancer

This year, the relay was dedi

Van Nortwick, an
ovarian cancer
survivor and relay
participant. She
was diagnosed
with cancer in Oc
tober 1995. Al
though doctors
were able to re
move the cancer, it
was necessary to
remove one of her
ovaries in the process. Subse
quently, Van Nortwick was told
she would never be able to have
children.
Van Nortwick beat the doctors’
predictions and was able to par
ticipate in the relay Friday with
her seven-month-old boy.
The event takes place annually
during the first weekend in Au

in need of volunteers and partici
pants.
