Search for ‘Ugly Duck’ is on
In its annual charity
campaign, service
fraternity APO will raise
money for Womenspace
By Erin Snelgrove
Oregon Daily Emerald
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who’s the ugliest Duck of all?
This question can be answered
by participating in the “Ugly
Duck on Campus” competition
sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega.
The first week of every Novem
ber, APO, a national co-ed ser
vice fraternity, creates a service
project that benefits the commu
nity in some way. This year's
project theme is “Ending Domes
tic Violence and Sexual Assault.”
With the “Ugly Duck on Cam
pus" competition, APO members
are hopeful that the University
community will sponsor their fa
vorite candidate by donating
money on his or her behalf.
The contestant who raises the
most money will win the title
“Ugliest Duck on Campus.” All
proceeds of the campaign will be
donated to Womenspace, a local
organization that aids survivors
of domestic violence.
“We are extremely delighted
that we were chosen as the recip
ient of this program,” said Margo
Schaefer, development director
of Womenspace. She added later,
“The money we receive from the
Ugly Duck campaign will help
fund our educational programs,
our crisis line and our shelters.”
The candidates for this contest
are Ralph Barnhard, professor of
chemistry; David Bayless, resi
dent director of the Walton com
plex; Mike Bellotti, head coach of
the football team; Stephanie Car
nahan, director of the Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
educational and support services
program; Dave Dusseau, business
professor; Sally Hays, economics
GTF; and Greg Kerber, associate
dean of the journalism school.
“We chose candidates who
represent as many departments
as possible," APO member Shan
non Berry said. “We assured
them that this campaign judges
popularity, not ugliness.”
Kerber said he feels honored to
be a participant in this program.
“When I found out what this
contest benefited, it would have
been hard to say no,” Kerber said.
“My wife works a lot with sexual
abuse victims and particularly
with Womenspace. Womenspace
is a really worthy cause.”
Carnahan agreed with Kerber’s
statement. She is hopeful this
campaign will raise a lot of mon
ey.
“I have great respect for the
work of the APO. I support what
they do and I support Women
space,” Carnahan said. “Al
though I’m not as well known as
Bellotti, I hope that when people
see my ugly picture, they’ll pitch
in their pennies.”
Dusseau is not overly opti
mistic about winning the “Ugly
Duck on Campus” contest, but he
is hopeful of receiving some
votes.
“I think my chances of win
ning this contest aren’t great —
there are a lot of uglier people
participating,” Dusseau said.
“People should vote for me be
cause although I may be an ugly
duck now, if I win, I can turn into
a swan.”
People can donate money for
their favorite Duck through Nov.
12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. outside
of the EMU Fishbowl. The win
ner of the contest will be an
nounced on Friday and will be
presented with a plaque next
week.

Womenspace and its programs,

Planners accept ramp
at Education Addition
The 1998-1999 Campus Plan
ning Committee met Tuesday to
view plans for a new wheelchair
ramp for Facilities Services in the
basement of the Education Addi
tion building.
The committee was presented
with Janna Alley’s design, which
would excavate the building’s
west lawn to build the ramp. The
committee discussed a protective
railing and space for more park
ing on the south side of the
building.
The committee voted unani
mously to accept the design with
the changes that it recommend
ed. The committee proposed that
the ramp’s guardrail should be
sloped instead of flat at its high
est point.
“It would be less imposing,”
Alley said.
The committee also reviewed
the EMU Amphitheater Project
and its process.
Fred Tepfer from the Universi
ty Planning Office described the
EMU Amphitheater Project’s his
tory, explaining the involvement
of student groups and how the
design came about. Before the
project, the southeast corner of
13th and University was far less
inviting, Tepfer said.
“It wasn’t a living room, it was
n’t a front room, it was just a hall
way,” Tepfer said.
Suspect in homeless slashings arrested
By Jordan Lite
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — A man suspected of slashing
four homeless people was arrested Tuesday with a
bloody knife in his pocket just blocks from where the
latest victim had his throat cut as he slept.
Police believe Joshua Rudiger, 21, cut the throats of
three homeless men and one homeless woman in the
last three weeks. The woman died. Rudiger considers
himself a vampire, a police source told KCBS radio.
He was arrested shortly after the latest victim was
found staggering about near Chinatown.
Asian characters or symbols were written in red liq
uid at three of the four crime scenes. Police had not
determined if the symbols were written in blood or
what they meant.
Although a suspect in all four slashings, Rudiger
has been charged in the latest attack only.
Prior to the arrest, advocates for the homeless com
plained police were not treating the attacks as seri
ously as they should have.
"If a rash of tourists were stabbed over several days,
there’d be a major response,” said Paul Boden, head of
the nonprofit Coalition on Homelessness.
Police Chief Fred Lau called the charge "absolutely
untrue.”
