out of five.
This trend is linked to alcohol
related crime.
Within the campus area, the Of
fice of Public Safety reported 194
alcohol-related arrests in 1997,
compared to 58 in 1996. Part of
this jump can be attributed to the
implementation of a no-tolerance
policy by OPS.
Organizers of the event want to
emphasize that drinking and safe
ty are interrelated issues.
“What we are trying to do is
help students realize that they can
jeopardize themselves when they
make decisions while drinking,”
said Byron McCrae, assistant dean
of student life and host of the al
cohol-awareness clinic. “The
point is to make students ask
themselves if they are making
dangerous choices when they
drink.”
The clinic McCrae hosted fea
tured a lecture, discussion and an
interactive CD-ROM game called
Alcohol 101. McCrae hopes that
the game will show students that
they have other options besides
binge drinking.
“What I want to do is let stu
dents know that alcohol-related
choices are part of taking individ
ual control for your actions,” he
said.
Rape is another part of the mo
tivation for having the Campus
Safety Day of Action. OPS report
ed two forcible sexual assaults in
the campus community last year.
Sexual Assault Support Ser
vices encouraged people to learn
ways to protect themselves
against this problem by sponsor
ing self-defense classes.
SASS is a community organiza
tion that helps women who are
victims of crime or who are inter
ested in protecting themselves
against potential assailants.
“We are by no means experts at
self-defense, but there are some
simple things that you can learn
to protect yourself,” said Janet
Fiskio, one of the instructors.
Scott Barnett /Emerald
Jasmine Gonzalez-Rose of SASS and community educator Janet Fiskio demonstrate self
defense techniques at the Campus Safety Day of Action.
“Part of self-defense is the verbal
stuff. It’s knowing when and how
to be assertive.”
The ASUO Outreach Program
is hoping that this event will be
the first of many efforts to pro
mote safety on campus, Jagodnik
said.
“Right now we are thinking
that self-defense classes would be
a good thing to do all year," she
said. “We are also interested in
working with students, OPS and
the physical plant to see where
students would like more light
ing. Hopefully we can get the cost
reduced and make it happen.”

“The best you can do is plan for
the worst and hope for the best,”
he said.
For those students staying in
town for the holidays, the city of
Eugene is not too worried about
the upcoming inclement weather.
“We really took this past storm
in stride because it was not that
significant compared to other
storms,” said Philip Weiler, city of
Eugene spokesman.
The storm caused no significant
disruption of traffic or loss of life,
Weiler said. There was a fairly
short duration of wind and only a
few trees fell. Eugene is fortunate,
he said.
As far as flooding goes, Eugene
is generally OK, Weiler said.
There would be a flooding prob
lem if the city lost power because
the water pumps wouldn’t work,
he said.
“There is a leaf pack-up project
in progress so leaves don’t get
caught in street basins and cause
flooding,” he said.
City of Eugene maintenance di
rector Gene Shutt said leaves can
be a constant problem in times of
bad weather.
“We try to encourage people to
put their leaves out on the street to
be picked up so they are not block
ing the sewer system,” Shutt said.
Shutt said he hopes there won’t
be any snow over Thanksgiving
and the holiday season, but the
city is keeping the necessary
equipment prepared just in case.
Public Works has a large crew, and
they’re pretty confident that they
can handle any minor problem, he
said.
“We have chainsaws for trees,
emergency lighting and a sander
in the event of freezing,” he said.
