■ Work sessions will show
businesses how to be more
socially and environmentally
responsible
By Maggie Young
Oregon Daily Emerald
The third annual Sustainable
Business Symposium will be held
on campus Nov. 5 to 7. The goal of
the meeting is to show that busi
nesses can be profitable and so
cially and environmentally re
sponsible at the same time,
Symposium Board of Directors
Member Adam Alabarca said.
Business leaders, consumers,
government officials and environ
mental advocates will participate
in work sessions to expand envi
ronmental awareness to business
es, the consumer and the commu
nity, Alabama said.
Sixty guest speakers will give
presentations, including Paul
Hawken, author of “The Ecology
of Commerce,” and Hunter
Lovins, author of “Natural Capi
talism.” Admission is free and die
event is open to the public.
Organizers expect at least 1,000
people to attend this year’s confer
ence, Alabarca said.
Various sponsors of the event
include the ASUO, the Universi
ty Institute for Sustainable Busi
ness, the Charles H. Lundquist
College of Business, Nike, and the
Eugene Water and Electric Board.
This conference is the only one
of its kind in Oregon, yet it is an
international concept, Alabarca
said.
“The ideology behind this pro
ject is a new trend and is gaining
recognition around the world,” he
said. “We have people registered
for the conference all the way
from South Africa and Indone
sia.”
The resources and connections
from symposiums in the past two
years have provided incentives for
the development of the
Willamette Valley Business Al
liance and the Ecology Design
Guild, which both benefit the en
vironment, said John Baldwin, Di
rector of the Institute for Sustain
able Environment and Planning,
Public Policy and Management
Professor.
“The effects of the two previous
conferences have been felt through

Symposium Board of Directors
Member Vera Kewene said she be
came involved with the project
because she was impressed by the
previous year’s symposium.
“I was really impressed that
these were students who were
working so hard because they see
that businesses need to change to
help the environment,” she said.
This symposium is one way that
the business world can do their
part for the world, Kewene said.

Student wins award for documentary
■ Brian Hinderbergerwinsa
1999 Aegis Award for his
film on the development
of journalism
By Ben Romano
Oregon Daily Emerald
Brian Hinderberger spent his
summer in a small room packed
with editing and production
equipment deep within the
Knight Library Media Services
Center. The senior journalism ma
jor was putting the finishing
touches on a documentary that he
wrote, produced and directed.
His effort paid off when his
documentary, “First Impres
sions,” won a 1999 Aegis Award
last month.
The Aegis Awards is the video
industry’s only national competi
tion that features peer judging of
documentaries and non-network
television commercials.
“The awards are for production
companies and television stations
to send work in and have it
judged by peers rather than a
board of people who don’t know
about the industry,” said Lynette
Boone, instructional television as
sistant at Media Services.
Honored in the Low Budget
category, “First Impressions” is a
history of publishing in Oregon
and its role in the development of
journalism in the mid-19th centu
ry. The documentary explains
how a Washington hand press
was used to publish the first Eng
lish language newspaper on the
West Coast.
This press is a permanent dis
play on the second floor of Allen
Hall, and the newspaper was
called the Oregon Spectator, said
Hinderberger, who is a student
worker at Media Services.
“It was definitely a great thing
to do my first documentary on,”
he said.
The documentary is about 15
minutes long and contains three
interviews. It took Hinderberger
five months of research, filming
and editing to produce the fin
ished project.
“Brian kind of took his own
initiative to learn how to make
documentaries,” said Boone, who
is Hinderberger’s supervisor at
Media Services. “We were all
very impressed with that.”
Mike Madjic, administrator at
Media Services, who acted as an
adviser to Hinderberger on the
project was also impressed with
the film.
“The photography was really
well done throughout,” Madjic
said. “It was crisp and really
clean. It’s like reading a paper
with no spelling errors, no punc
tuation problems and no run-on
sentences.
“He’s got a great eye, and that’s
something you can’t teach.”
A shortened version of the doc
umentary will air periodically on
Oregon Public Broadcasting as
filler between programs, Madjic
said.
Hinderberger said he has been
interested in film-making since he
was in his teens.
“I’ve always had a camera, and
I’ve always made little films,”
Hinderberger said.
Having won the Aegis Award,
Hinderberger plans to enter his
documentary in other competi
tions.
“This award gave me the confi
dence to throw it in the student
Emmy Awards,” he said.
A win in the Emmys could give
Hinderberger the opportunity to
be teamed up with a professional
director such as Steven Spielberg
or Ken Burns, he said.
“This documentary is opti
mistic,” Hinderberger said.
“There are so many documen
taries out there telling people how
bad this world is. If I do this, I
want to be optimistic and tell peo
ple how good the world is.”

Twelve years ago she started
taking night classes at a communi
ty college, but soon discovered
that she could not do both.
Rutheiser eagerly works toward
her degree and said she often feels
out of place.
“I feel kind of odd sometimes,
being in a room full of younger
people,” she said. “I have had a lot
of moments where I thought, what
the hell am I doing. ”
Rutheiser said she mostly leaves
campus right after classes and does
not socialize much with other stu
dents. Her boyfriend understands
her decision to go back to school
and supports her, she said.
Younger students often ap
proach her to borrow her notes or
invite her to a study group, which
sometimes opens the door for in
teraction.
“We [non-traditional students]
have a lot to offer and we need to
be accepted too,” Rutheiser said.
She said that the life experience
older students have puts her stud
ies into perspective and is often
helpful.
“I think in one respect it’s really
a good thing to be older,” she said.
