Senate to revisit diversity resolution
I be Student Senate called
an unscheduled meeting
to discuss changes
By Jason George
Oregon Daily Emerald
What was slated to be the last
Student Senate meeting was not so.
Senator Spencer Hamlin pre
sented alterations to the resolution
on diversity proclaimed by the
Senate last week
But after Senators David
Sanchez and Andrew Oberriter re
quested more time to read the pro
posal, Senator Jamila Singleton
made a motion to table the issue
and call an unscheduled Senate
meeting for next week.
Senate President Michael Olson
explained to the new senators that
a proclamation of this type is “a
show of support,” but will not di
rectly affect policy.
Also at the meeting, Eric Pfeif
fer was confirmed as the new stu
dent senator for social science Seat
#14. He was appointed by ASUO
President Geneva Wortman. Pfeif
fer, who ran and lost the Journal
ism Seat to Andrew Oberriter in
the recent election, is allowed to
be a social science senator because
he is double majoring in political
science.
Pfeiffer said being a senator is
important to him because he feels
he does not come from the same
background as the other senators.
Another motivation for Pfeiffer
was “to work on the things of dis
gruntled students like myself,”
he said.
Pfeiffer will be occupying the
seat of Olson, who is graduating,
and Pfeiffer also will be taking over
as news director ofKWVA campus
radio, also Olson’s former job.
The Athletic Department Fi
nance Committee said it is near a
finalized contract with the Athlet
ic Department. Hamlin said the
details are being hammered out.
The EMU Board presented the
finalized version of the technical
services grant for next school year.
Student groups will be able to re
quest a $200 grant for technical
services fees when they hold
events in the EMU Ballroom. The
groups will be limited to one grant
per academic year, available on a
first come, first serve basis.
The one fund transfer of the
evening was for KWVA. The sta
tion had a surplus of $855 because
Olson did not accept his stipend
for the year.
“I already collect a stipend for
the Senate. So no, I don’t want it,”
Olson said.
KWVA plans to use the money
to purchase a new computer.
On-line job search has good, bad aspects
Relying on the Internet
alone limits possibilities,
campus experts say
By Amy Jennaro
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Career Center has a new ri
val in town that also helps stu
dents find employment—on-line
job services.
Student interest for finding jobs
on-line has grown phenomenally,
said Keri Resh, manager of JobTrak,
an on-line job service that caters to
university students and alumni.
Resh said the JobTrak Web site
receives 35,000 hits daily and
works with 900 college campuses,
including the University of Oregon.
“It took a lot of pressure off ca
reer centers so they could concen
trate on helping students,” Resh
said, referring to JobTrak.
Resh added that students not
only can search for jobs on-line,
but put their resume on-line for
potential employers.
“Students can reach many peo
ple at once,” she said.
At the University, student inter
est in on-line job hunting led the
Career Center to offer a class on
how to use on-line job services.
The course is called “Net A Job:
Use the Web!”
“The growth of on-line job
searches is going to expand, so it
is a necessity for us to jump on the
bandwagon,” said Tina Songer,
career information specialist for
the Career Center and the instruc
tor of the on-line job hunting class.
The Career Center has assisted
students in finding jobs on-line by
placing links to on-line job ser
vices such as JobTrak on its home
page, Career Center Director
Lawrence Smith said.
But Smith doesn’t think tradi
tional means of finding a job such
as the Career Fair will be eliminat
ed by the growth of on-line job ser
vices.
“People need to see each other
face to face,” he said.
Kevin Gage, chairman and CEO
of JobDirect, a national on-line job
server that caters to college stu
dents, said the connections stu
dents make with employers over
the Internet usually lead to a face
to-face interview.
Gage, who said JobDirect has
150,000 registered users, added
that the Internet should not be the
only route students use to find em
ployment.
“Anybody who uses just the In
ternet to find jobs will be passing up
a lot of good opportunities,” he said.
The view is shared by Pam
Cytrynbaum, internship coordina
tor for the School of Journalism
and Communication.
But Cytrynbaum added that stu
dents should not shy away from uti
lizing the Internet for job searches.
“I believe you should get the job
doing whatever you possibly can,”
she said.
However, Deb Chereck, director
of career services at the Charles H.
Lundquist College of Business,
said she believes the Internet
could cause students to become
less proactive.
“It’s not always effective be
cause all you are doing is respond
ing to an opportunity, not creating
one,” she said.
But Gage said he believes on-line
job services give students more op
portunities to pursue a relationship
with a potential employer.
“The job search before the Inter
net was inefficient,” he said. “The
companies didn’t know where to
find students and the students
didn’t know where to find the em
ployer. We’ve put the two together
in an effective way. ”
For University alum Yoshiyasu
Yamakawa, who graduated last
year, there are many advantages to
using the Internet to find a job.
Yamakawa used on-line job ser
vices to find a position with Intel
as an engineer.
“You don’t have to spend so
much time finding a job,” he said.
“I would definitely do it again. ”
But using the Internet doesn't
guarantee employment, and stu
dents need to know some impor
tant tips about searching for a job
on-line, Gage said.
He said the most important
thing for students to remember is
to think about what they hope to
find in their search.
“Students need to think through
their search and know where they
are trying to go,” he said.
Resh added that students
should start their search early so
they can have plenty of time to
find employers.
Cytrynbaum said while starting
early is important, the most vital
thing for students to remember was
to treat the connections they make
with on-line employers seriously.
“The same rules still apply,”
she said. “Whatever you put on
the Internet is the same as if you
were talking to the employer in
person.”

ASUO solicits support
for hate crime bill
The ASUO doled out snow cones
to students passing by the EMU
Amphitheater on Wednesday as
part of the ASUO’s support for a
proposed federal hate crime bill.
The bill would expand the defi
nition of a hate crime from crimes
directed against a person’s nation
al origin, race and religion to in
clude crimes targeted against a
person’s sexual orientation, dis
abilities and gender.
“It basically updates the law
with the times,” said CJ Gabbe,
ASUO federal affairs coordinator.
“Help stop hate crimes cold”
was the motto that went with the
ice treats, along with postcards
students could sign in support ol
the proposed federal bill.
The ASUO’s snow cone ma
chine has been used in previous
campaigns, notably in the tuition
freeze campaign.
The ASUO plans to send post
cards from students supporting
the bill to the Republican and De
mocratic heads of the House Judi
ciary Committee. The committee
is the first stop on the proposed
bill’s trip through Congress if the
bill is to become law.
Gabbe said he thought the bill
would do well in Congress be
cause of the combined support of
religious and community groups,
among others.
Earlier Wednesday members of
the ASUO, the Lesbian Gay Bisex
ual Transgender Alliance and the
Women’s Center publicly sup
ported the proposed bill at a press
conference.
Students awarded for
salmon recovery plan
A team of 12 University stu
dents won the “Most Creative
Idea” award in a recent competi

recovery in the Northwest.

gon, competed in the first annual
Undergraduate Research Team
Challenge, held April 12-13 at the

The teams created salmon re
covery plans, including a 20-page
written proposal, presentation
and poster. Competitions were
held for each aspect of the presen

“Most Creative Idea.” In addition
the judges created an ad hoc
award for “Most Global Think
ing.” All five teams received an
award.
