Students can take
steps toward safety
■ Giving your home a lived
in look may help to deter
potential thieves over break
By Brian Goodell
Oregon Daily Emergld
Winter break is normally a time for
family and friends to gather and cele
brate the holidays together. It also
means many of Eugene area apart
ments and dorm rooms will be va
cant for the next three to four weeks.
Officials from University Housing,
the Eugene Police Department and
the University Office of Public Safety
are asking students to perform a
number of small tasks to ensure a safe
and happy return to school.
Public Safety Supervisor Joan
Saylor said there are people out
there who will take advantage of
an empty apartment, and there are
a lot of measures students can take
to prevent theft.
“Folks who know students are
gone will come over and check
around to see what they can take,”
Saylor said. “As people begin to

leave we will increase our patrol
around the dorms.”
Saylor said crime is a much bigger
problem with off-campus housing.
She said the best thing students can
do is let a friend know they will be
gone and ask them to watch out for
suspicious activity.
Saylor added that students
need to lock and secure all of their
doors, close their first story win
dow curtains, and ask someone to
collect newspaper and mail deliv

Downtown Eugene
offers holiday fun
■ i-rom costume parties to
concerts, there is no loss of
entertainment in the area
By Amy Jennaro
Oregon Daily Emerald
For students spending their
New Year’s in Eugene, the holi
day will offer a lot more than just
Dick Clark and the ball drop.
Many hotels, businesses and or
ganizations across the communi
ty are planning alternatives to a
night in front of the television.
The biggest celebration is First
Night, an annual, alcohol-free na
tional event that is put together
locally by Downtown Events
Management Inc., the First Night
Eugene board and local business
es, according to Steven Reming
ton, general manger of DEMI.
“The event is really communi
ty-driven,” Remington said.
He said the celebration utilizes
over 300 volunteers and draws
8,000 to 10,000 people every year.
According to Remington, the.
event is held in 16 different
venues in the downtown area and
showcases 60 different perform
ers from the local arts communi
ty. He said the downtown was
chosen as the principal location
because of its centrality to Eugene
citizens.
“We wanted to have the vitality
of downtown,” he said. “Down
town is the heart of Eugene.”
“The unique element is that we
encourage everyone to come down
together,” said Ellen Mitchell, chair
woman for First Night Eugene.
For students who want to attend
a smaller event, many local hotels
are holding their own celebrations.
The Doubletree Hotel is planning
an R&B-inspired dance party with
the band Body and Soul, said Bliss
Hamilton, the front office director.
“We all decided to do something
that was upbeat and fun and would
appeal to all ages,” Hamilton said.
She said the event has been in
the works for the past year. The
celebration offers a variety of en
tertainment including karaoke for
would-be performers and a quiet
bar for those that want to get
away from the noise, she said.
“The whole hotel is open for
the night,” Hamilton said.
The Red Lion Hotel decided to
take an alternate route in their
New Year’s celebration, said sales
manager Todd Iseri.
The hotel will hold a costume
party, complete with a costume
contest.
Iseri said an important element
in planning the event was keep
ing it affordable.
“We’re not going to be one of
these places that costs you $50 to
$100 to go out and have a good
time,” Iseri said.
According to Iseri, the event of
fers raffles, prizes and champagne
at midnight.
“This is the biggest [New Year’s
event] we’ve done,” he said.
