Call 346-3712 Licencees continued from page 1A cerns of the students and admin istration that University trade mark licensees could be involved in allegedly unethical labor prac tices. The committee voted unani mously in favor of this recom mendation. It represents a step toward creating a comprehensive policy governing University rela tions with its trademark li censees, said Duncan McDonald, vice-president of public affairs and development and the com mittee’s facilitator. By asking the companies to provide the information, the Uni versity is effectively joining uni versities nationwide, including Duke University, Brown Univer sity, the University of Michigan and the University of California system, in the push for full dis closure. ASUO Vice President Mitra Anoushiravani, a member of the committee, said she was satisfied with the letter but that full dis closure was only the beginning of the process. “It’s the first step* in making real progress and change,” she said. While it was a small step, “a baby step is better than no step at all,” she said. Committee member Jevon Cut ler, a sophomore general studies major, said he had a mixed reac tion to the letter. “Full disclosure is the first step, but in retrospect, it’s a small step,” he said. “If the U of O is going to be proactive in the anti sweatshop movement, they have to work a lot faster.” Letter front the president The University of Oregon has decided to join other universi ties in requiring traderaark licensees td disclose manufac turing locations of licensees, and of licensees’ sub-contrac tors, who fabricate, assemble, produce, and/or otherwise manufacture consumer products under Trademark Licens ing Agreements with their respective universities. To that end, the University pf Qrepn requirp that Within three months (90 days) of this official notification, your or ganization disclose the following information to the Univer sity’s Office of Merchandise Marketing and Licensing. • Your companyname(s), including DBA’S, that are involved in the manufacturing of UO licensed products; • the physical location of all administrative and production facilities, including facilities of subcontractors, who provide materials, labor and/or finished goods, used in production of UO licensed products; • names and title of company officers, including mailing ad dresses, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of same and; • steps performed in the manufacture of UO licensed prod ucts, including those steps performed by your subcontrac tors. SOURCE: Excerpt from Frohnmayer’s letter to University trademaric licencees; ' " " Dec 29,1999 The committee will meet again Jan. 28 to further develop the University policy. The next topic on the agenda will be how to monitor the trademark licensees. “This is a very complex issue,” McDonald said. “We need to find out what’s out there.” There are many options for monitoring the trademark li censees, such as private monitor ing agencies that represent many universities, he said. Other areas the committee will explore are how the Licensing Code of Conduct will be enforced once it is developed and general labor issues such as workplace standards and living wages. “The process is working, but there’s still a lot more work to do,” McDonald said. Women’s care continued from page 1A The decline in use of the women’s clinic and the difficul ties staffing the facility have prompted health center adminis trators to diffuse women’s ser vices throughout the health cen ter and open Area D to all patients. A recent grant to Planned Parenthood that has al lowed for subsidized office visits to that agency is one of the rea sons for die decline in use of the women’s clinic. “The primary reason for doing this is for efficiency of communi cation and thus patient care,” Fleischli said in a letter to his staff. Area D, which is on the second floor of the health center, con tained three offices in addition to larger exam rooms and nurses stations. These offices were shared by a number of doctors and nurse practitioners. This of ten created a problem because charts and other important infor mation were routed incorrectly, Flieschli said. “Examples abound where moving around causes problems RENTALS!

With the old set-up, a woman visiting the women’s clinic would have to make a second appointment if she also needed a tetanus shot. Eliminating multiple visits and improving communication will hopefully lead to smoother pro cedures and better overall conti nuity of care, Fleischli said. Lisa Foisy, ASUO Women’s Center director, interviewed stu dents and health center staff to get an understanding of the changes. “Women’s health is one of the most important issues to be ad dressed,” Foisy said. “I wanted to make sure that the services being offered for women aren’t com promised. “Ideally, we would love to have an exclusively women’s clinic.” Women’s clinics provide a cer tain amount of safety to talk about issues that may be difficult to talk about outside of a women’s only environment, she said. They are also excellent places to get other information on women's health issues, she said. Foisy cited space constraints and declining usage as under standable reasons to restructure the women’s services and elimi nate the clinic. The health center staff is mak ing every effort to preserve those qualities unique to women’s clin ics in its new women’s health service, said Jolene Siemsen, a nurse practitioner who has worked in the women’s clinic for eight years. This will be accomplished by distributing women’s health books and information through out the health center. Other spaces will be rearranged to offer more privacy for female and male patients. In addition, the health center staff will be trained to deal with women’s health issues in a way that is sensitive and private, Siemsen said. Millennium Magic begins at...
