The Oregon Club Sports hockey team has the per fect solution. Friday night fights. Uh, Friday night hockey. The Oregon Hockey team (9 11-1) has amassed 359 penalty minutes in just twenty games. At one point during its game with Washington, the entire defensive line was in the penalty box. “We are a very hard-hitting team, said Oregon’s leading goal scorer, Tyler Shaffar. “And when the fans start banging on the glass you just know there’s going to be a fight or two.” The Ducks also have one of the best kept secrets in the Western division. Goaltender Josh Hardin has been spectacular this season and has been extremely consis tent. In 595 shots on goal, Hardin has only let 79 of those slip past him, for a save average of 87 per cent. The No. 10 Ducks host unde feated Western Washington on Friday and Saturday at the Lane County Ice Arena before heading to the Pac-8 Championships on Feb. 18 and 19. Friday night is Greek Night at the arena. Anyone who wears his or her Greek letters is eligible to win Oregon hockey merchandise. There will be a separate raffle for those ticket holders who are not in the Greek system. Tickets can be purchased at the door and are $2 for students and staff. Gen eral admission is $4. Victims’families far from inspired by Hurricane By Amy Westefeld Associated Press PATERSON, N.J. — Barbara Bums watched her mother die, a month after she was shot five times as she hid in the comer of a Paterson bar. Thirty-four years lat er, she says she is seeing her moth er’s killer glorified in the film “The Hurricane.” “They fabricated the facts to make money and made a hero out of a cold-blooded murderer,” said Burns, the daughter of Hazel Ta nis, one of three people gunned down in 1966 inside the Lafayette Bar & Grill. Burns and other victims’ rela tives said Tuesday that Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, the mid dleweight boxer convicted twice, then later freed for the killings, is a murderer whose life story is skewed to make him look saintly in the award-winning film. Carter “has continued to mask the truth and elicit sympathy as well as a profitable living off the blood of our loved ones,” said Tom Vicedomini, the grandson of victim Fred Nauyoks. The film created a racist detec tive out to get Carter who didn’t exist and ignored eyewitness statements that placed Carter’s car with two bullets at the crime scene, said family members of the victims and a detective who head ed the investigation. The film’s producers, who have admitted changing some details of the story to cut the movie to a manageable length, took out ads in Hollywood trade publication to refute charges about the movie while other films were campaign ing for Oscar nominations. At a news conference in New York today, lawyers for Carter and co-defendant John Artis said the film was correct in depicting their clients as innocent. They said the investigation was tainted by racism and corruption and re leased a copy of grand jury testi mony in which the chief investi gator said witness descriptions of the suspects were “not even close to Artis and Carter. “It’s a sad day when after all these years officials in the state of New Jersey cannot say, ‘We made a horrendous mistake,”’ said lawyer Lewis Steel. And executive producer Rudy Langlais noted the movie, using voiceovers from Carter’s autobiog raphy, explores Carter’s darker side. “We acknowledge in his voice that his childhood had produced a very rough, angry, hateful man that was later to undergo a trans formation,” Langlais said. He added, “That does not mean that Rubin Carter committed murder.” Carter, who lives in Toronto, was on a speaking tour and un available for comment, a spokes woman said. A federal judge freed Carter in 1985, ruling that the prosecutors improperly presented an argu ment that Carter was out for racial revenge in the killings. Prosecu tors decided not to retry him after the decision was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Oregon Daily Emerald Open House and Birthday Celebration!
