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.

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

with lab, X-ray and chart routing,
leaving of voice-mail messages
and checking e-mail,” Fleischli
said. “This will be much less of a
problem with the new arrange
ment.”
In addition to solving the com
munication problem, the move
will allow students to receive
treatment for women’s health is
sues and other general medical
issues in one visit. 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.
