Do Illegal Immigrants
Pay Their Own Way?
Evidence From California
Philip J. Romero
Dean, Lundquist College of Business
Public concern over the impact of illegal immigration
on state resources led to important changes in public
policy, including the passage of a voting initiative
banning illegal immigrants from receiving public
health and education benefits (Prop. 187).This brown
bag seminar outlines the results of a study estimating
the fiscal costs and benefits to the state of California
attributable to illegal immigrants. This study played a
major role in the formal public policy debate, and in
the litigation that followed Proposition 187.

Cal has target on Ducks
■ Oregon must master
rebounding and the road
to win its 13th straight
against the Bears
By Scott Pesznecker
Oregon Daily Emerald
Finally—the end is in sight.
Just two more games stand be
tween Oregon and McArthur
Court. Two more contests — 80
minutes total — separate home
and the road.
The Ducks (10-3 overall, 1-0 Pa
cific-10 Conference) are eager to
count only 40 minutes by the end of
tonight. But before they can do that
and then wrap up their road trip
with a game against Stanford, Ore
gon must face California (5-7,0-2).
Marianne Stanley, fourth-year
head coach of the Golden Bears,
has watched her team lose close
battles including a 70-65 road loss
at No. 12 North Carolina and a 64
68 loss at Santa Clara.
But four of California’s last five
games were on the road. At home,
the Bears are 4-1. Counting two
home exhibition wins, their home
record is 6-1. And Stanley said
they’re set on making it 7-1 when
Oregon comes to play tonight at
7:30 p.m.
“Oregon has a big target on its
back as far as I’m concerned,”
Stanley said. “Number one on our
minds is Oregon. That’s all that
we’re thinking about.”
“We’re road weary, and we need
an emotional lift of being at home.”
The Ducks, also a road-weary
team, received a lift of their own
by beating Oregon State in their
Pac-10 opener. Although the
Ducks are
yearning to re
turn to “The
Pit” where they
are undefeated
this season,
head coach Jody
Runge knows
the importance
of playing hard against California.
“We’re taking it one game at a
time,” Runge said. “Cal had better
be our priority, or else they’ll
sneak up on us; then we’ve got to
come back and play well against
Stanford. It’s a very challenging
road trip.
“They’re a much improved bas
ketball team. They know how im
portant the home wins are, and
they’re going to give us everything
they’ve got down at their place. ”
The game will be the Bears’ first
Pac-10 match up in Haas Pavilion,
which officially opened on Nov.
21 with a 74-52 win over Nevada.
The $57.5 million-dollar structure
seats 12,300 and took two years to
complete.
If that isn’t enough to fire up
California, then old-fashioned ri
valry could fuel the fire. Oregon
guard Lindsey Dion and Bears’
guard Paige Bowie were team
mates at Clovis West High School
in Fresno, Calif.
“Paige is a self-made athlete,”
Dion said. “She can shoot from
deep and she’s got a strong, right
handed jumper. Those are things
I’ve seen from the past and I imag
ine that she’ll be the same. ”
Shaquala Williams, the Ducks’
leading scorer with 17.9 points per
game, will match up with junior
Courtney Johnson at the point.
Johnson leads the Pac-10 in steals
(3.0 pg), is 11th in scoring (12.6
ppg) and eighth in free-throw per
centage (.765).
The Ducks must also do better
on the boards. California ranks
third in the conference in offen
sive rebounds and shades No. 3 on
the defensive glass with Stanford.
Oregon is ranked seventh and
fifth, respectively.
“Cal is definitely capable of com
ing out and pulling out a win
against us,” Oregon forward An
gelina Wolvert said. “As long as we
take care of what we’re supposed to
do, that won’t be a problem. ”
Wrestling
continued from page 7 A
American during his wrestling
days at Oregon. “He has a good
work ethic, and he can do so
many things well. Right now it’s
as if he has too many options, and
he needs to define which of those
he’s going to use by the time na
tionals come around. He’s as good
as anyone in the country when he
is wrestling well.”
The Ducks lost the majority of
their lineup to graduation last sea
son, and the team is very young.

rience.
“This year is a learning year,
and people need to realize how
good they are,” Harris said.
Kearney said the same applies
to Harris.
“This is a year that Eugene needs
to gain confidence,” Kearney said.
“We need to get him wrestling like
a seasoned veteran.”
When Harris gains experience,
he has the ability to be an elite force
in the Pacific-10 Conference. And
Oregon is lucky to have him, espe
cially considering he once believed
the similarities between him and
Oregon ended with his name.
“At first I didn’t want to come
to Oregon because I heard it
rained a lot,” said Harris, who’s
from Las Vegas. “But I talked to
the coaches, and they talked a lot
about turning the program
around. I have everything I need
to become a champion here with
the athletic facilities.”
Harris wasn’t the only wrestler
from Lassen who keeps his stay at
the junior college short and sweet.
Harris said almost everyone who
wrestles at Lassen — a school that
is a five-time national champion
— hits the big college ranks after
one year. That list includes Iowa’s
T.J. Williams and Oklahoma
State’s Reggie Wright, both of
whom wrestle for nationally
ranked teams.
Oregon may be young, but the
valuable experience the Ducks re
ceive this season could spur Ore
gon to the ranks of the nation’s
elite next season. With All-Ameri
can Chael Sonnen retuning next
year (he took the year off to prac
tice with the Olympic team), Har
ris is already making predictions
for next year.
“We should be in the top 15 next
year, and we should have some
All-Americans,” Harris said.
UO men
continued from page 7 A
ference,” Kent said. “Obviously,
last year we struggled a bit at
home, but we have a totally differ
ent team this year, and we’ve
done some good things on the
road that have allowed us to
grow.”
Kent knows how important de
fending your own home court is.
A year ago, the Ducks lost their
first four home games en route to
a 2-8 league start.
In Kent’s first year in the 1997
98 season, Oregon also opened
conference play against Cal and
beat fhem but then lost six of the
next seven and finished one game
under .500 for the year.
“The next step up for us is to re
ally play well at home in the con
ference,” Kent said. “We can’t
wait to get it going — it needs to
happen right now. We’ve got to
come out in the right mental mind
set and really take the energy level
of Mac Court to a whole other lev
el because of how hard we’re go
ing to play.”
The Ducks will face a California
team that they became very famil
iar with a season ago. Oregon had
the advantage in the two regular
season games, but it ran into the
Golden Bears again at Madison
Square Garden in New York on
March 23.
The two teams met in the Na
tional Invitation Tournament
semifinal, when the Ducks were
overtaken by California 85-69, the
eventual NIT champions.
But the team that will be at the
Pit tonight has a much different
look.
Cal has only two seniors and
one junior on its roster after losing
four starters and its sixth man
from that championship team.
With only three upperclassmen
among its 11 scholarship athletes,
the 1999-2000 Bears are the
youngest team in Cal history.
That crop includes five fresh
men who have all played signifi
cant minutes this season. Each
freshman has been in the starting
lineup at least six times, while
forward Joe Shipp and guard/for
ward Brian Wethers have started
12 and 10 games, respectively.
“We need to introduce those
freshmen to the Pit,” Kent said.
“The Pit just needs to be rocking
because those young guys have a
big adjustment to make on the
road, and we need to make sure
that’s a big advantage for us.”
California should come out
strong, as it is looking for its first
Pac-10 win of the season.
