"It would give us a new tool,” he
said. “I would really like the flexi
bility. I can see that it would be
helpful to contact parents or it
might not be. Not every family is a
support family. They may or may
not have the financial or emotional
resources. It might make it worse
to contact the parent.
"... What’s important is being
helpful to the student. If it will
give me help to serve students, if
it's legal for me to use and is help
ful for them, I may do it.”
ASUO Vice President Morgan
Cowling declined to comment un
til more information can be ob
tained.
The amendment, listed under
the Higher Education Amend
ments of 1998, was sparked by a
string of five alcohol-related
deaths on Virginia campuses last
fall. A Virginia task force on col
lege drinking, led by state Attor
ney General Mark L. Earley (R),
recommended in July that Con
gress exempt drug and alcohol
records from the privacy require
ment. Senator John W. Warner, R
Va., sponsored the amendment.

meeting in the EMU’s Ben Linder
Forum Oct. 5. Students can join
by filling out a waiver and a med
ical history form and paying a $20
fee at Oregon Club Sports, Suite 6
in the EMU.
This weekend, the club plans to
find its waves around Newport.
The club has a $300 Club Sports
allocation for its first full year.
That’s three trips, each costing
about $90, Bates said.
“We’re required to fund-raise 15
percent of that, which for us is
$45. And we do that tenfold in a
year," he said.
The club’s popularity should
continue this year, judging from
the 20 people at its first meeting.
The vans are usually loaded up
with long boards, a smoother ride
than the more publicized counter
part, the short board.
“I’d say the majority of people
ride long boards in Oregon,” Bates
explained. “But it doesn’t matter
what you ride.”
The club also welcomed new
studentsat it's organizational meet
ing. Many were pleasantly sur
prised by a University surfing club.
“In high school I’d meet so many
people who were into it,” said
Rands, who has been short-board
ing for five years. “But they all did it
through me. I’d rent them the
boards, I’d rent them the suits.”
The club requires members rent
or own their own equipment. Rent
ing a board and wetsuit will usual
ly cost a student around $30 a day.
"I like it because everyone asks,
‘When do you practice?’ or ‘Do
you have competitions?”’ fresh
man Mike Bendixen said. “It’s just
a bunch of guys who go to the
beach, hang out and surf.”
It actually isn’t just guys, Bates
said.
"My girlfriend actually goes out
there without a wetsuit,” he said.
“She’s pretty burly.”
Burliness may not be enough for
many who take on the cold Ore
gon Coast. The club recommends
a 4/3 thickness wetsuit and some
times booties, hoods, and gloves.
"Sometimes you look like a seal
out there in the water, trying to
stay warm,” Bates said.
There is no shortage of breaks,
or waves off the Oregon coast,
Bates said. But protective locals
often latch onto the good surf.
“The Point at Seaside is a world
class break when it’s hitting,”
Bates said. "So they don’t want
people who don’t live around
there to crowd it.”
The club promotes friendliness
between surfers.
“That’s one of ihe objectives of
the club: there’s no reason to cop
attitudes.... That's just part of Ore
gon, that attitude of smiling and
helping people instead of giving
you the stinkeye. ”
