Newspaper Page TextOwen recounts May expedition ■ Liane Owen shared her experience as a member of a female expedition that climbed Cho Oyu By Inge McMillen for the Emerald Liane Owen, a member of the 1999 American all women’s team that climbed Cho Oyu in the Himalayas, the sixth tallest peak in the world, presented a slide show for in terested students and commu nity members Monday night. There were many reasons for choosing the 26,906 foot-tall peak Cho Oyu, Owen said. One of the main considerations was that Cho Oyu was within their ability, and that the success rate is fairly good. “Just being up high and see ing the crystal blue sky, it makes you feel so alive,” Owen said. “There is such an obsession in the West for biggest and best. Everest is not on my hit list.” The logistics of getting to the mountain were more of a task than the climb itself, she ex plained. The team planned and trained for more than 1 1/2 years before leaving the United States on March 29,1999. Once in Katmandu, the team spent 40 days on the trek which carried it from Katman du, Nepal, to Tibet, where members pitched their base camp. The expedition chose not to use bottled oxygen, nor to em ploy Sherpas to help carry their gear, although they did have two Sherpanas — female sher pas — who stayed in base camp and helped them cook. Several yaks were also used for carrying gear to base camp. It was a long and strenuous hike from base camp at 19,700 feet to the top because the drought made the ice slick and hard to climb. “Our crampons just would n’t go in more than 1/8 of an inch,” Owen said. She explained the ice as wa terfall ice, which makes self-ar rest in a fall extremely difficult. The women’s expedition had no major accidents, but the team helped with the rescue of a Spanish expedition that got lost in a storm. Nobody died, but one man was taken down with black fin gers, black face and a frostbit ten nose, said Owen, who added that she did not think the mountain was as cold as she expected. As in most climbs, the team used double climbing — de ploying loads at a higher camp to return to the lower camp for the night — to acclimate and avoid serious mountain sick ness and other altitude related problems, Owen said. However, eating enough was a constant problem. All of the team members returned skin ny, she said. Almost a year lat er, she is still trying to gain some of the weight back. Short-handed Ducks split ■ The Oregon hockey team beats the Huskies on Friday but loses to them the following night By David Raffensperger for the Emerald The Oregon Club Sports Hockey team wrapped up Pacific-8 Confer ence play with a split in Seattle last weekend. On Friday night the Ducks (8-8-0 in the Pac-8) picked up a rare road win as they beat the Washington Huskies 3-0. The Ducks were led by the in spired play of goaltender Josh Hardin, who denied the Huskies a goal on all 18 of their shots. Providing the offensive firepow er for the Ducks was the forward line of Doug Washburn, Tyler Shaf far and Andrew Belcher, better known as the “Green Line.” The Ducks drew first blood when Rob Starkey’s blast from the point was deflected in by Belcher, raising his goal-scoring streak to five games. Washburn scored the Ducks second goal before Shaffar poured some salt in the Huskies’ wounds by scoring a short-handed goal late in the second period. On Saturday night, the Huskies used their team depth to overpower and outplay the tired and short handed Ducks, 5-2. Washington proved it was hungry for revenge as it jumped out to an early 2-0 first pe riod lead. The Ducks looked to gain mo mentum late in the third period when Belcher ran his goal-scoring streak to six games, making the deficit 2-1. But with help from their raucous fans, the Huskies rallied. They scored two quick goals at the end of the period and added anoth er to open up the third period, send ing the Ducks south for the rest of the game. Oregon failed to convert two 5-3 power play opportunities and by the time Washburn scored the Ducks’ second goal, the game was all but over. The No. 6 Ducks will host cur rently undefeated Western Wash ington at the Lane County Ice Arena on Feb. 11 and 12. Both games are slated to start at 8 p.m. Cali (541)346-4343 or stop by Room 300, Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today. P,0.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black * a) Entertainment b) The Emerald c) Fun d) All of the above TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1). A secret passion could become public this year. Your vi sion could be hazy in February. You should have the problem solved by March and should be ready to move by April. Reality rears its ugly head in May, but the impossible comes within reach again by August A startling revelation is to your advantage in December, and the happy ending comes around next January. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. ARIES (March21-Aprii 19)—Today isa6— The general is coming to inspect the troops! She's not in the mood to be hassled, contradicted or messed with in any way. Even if you're total ly respectful, you could be in big trouble if there's a smirk on your face. Look sharp, and you'll pass the test TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Your career is important to you now. You're thinking of new things to do — ways to stretch your talents and your mind. You might even feel like taking a class. If you do, choose one you can use to improve your earnings. That way, it may be tax deductible. GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—Today is a6 — You'd probably love to travel if you could afford to go. Well, maybe you could. If you can keep your mate from spending all your money on something else, maybe the two of you could take a vacation together. Better talk about it and set priorities. CANCER (June 22-July 22)—Today is a 6— You may want to let a partner take the lead. An older woman would be the best one to make your next decision for you. Well, your input's important, too, of course. It's her wisdom that really gives you the advantage, however. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — You're a hard worker, especially now. You cant do everything all by yourself, however. If you can, you havent taken on enough of a challenge. If you have to rely oo a strong partner, you're in the right place at the right time. So, do it VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22)—Today is an 8— You are one of the lucky ones. You're cute as a button, too. Oh, sure, you have a lot to do, but that’s OK. You have a talent for organization, remember? Fit in a special date for tomorrow early—or late tonight. Or, both. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 6 — Focus on home and family this week, especially today and tomorrow. Clean up your environ ment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — You should be able to learn pretty easily now. The best thing to do when this condition is in effect is to get yourself close to a wise older person. Watch what he or she does and do the same. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and it's how you learn best. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6 — You may be in the mood to go back to school. You'd also like to make more money. These two concepts are linked, but not directly. It's more like you have to work at one thing in order to pay for your training in another. Hmm mm. Worth a try! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)—Today is a 7 — This should be a good week for wheeling and dealing. You're exceptionally sharp right now, in fact. Knowing that, what sort of chal lenge do you want to take on? You're creative, persistent and assertive. The sky’s the limit! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — You can accomplish just about anything you can imagine. Words mean things, as you un doubtedly know. Well, ideas mean things, too.
