prising is that 16 percent is actu
ally an upward swing from previ
ous years. In 1997, voter turnout
at the University was 1,166. The
last two years saw significant in
creases, bumping the numbers
up to 2,355 in 1998 and 2,489 in
1999, respectively.
ASUO Elections Coordinator
Ken Best said he thinks voter ap
athy is deeply ingrained in the
minds of students and young
people across the nation.
“Apathy is a big problem. Peo
ple don’t think that what hap
pens in the voting process affects
them,” he said.
Best, however, said he does
not think it is an issue of stu
dents not caring, but it has more
to do with poor communication
in the media and the political
level.
Apathy “comes from a wide
spread misunderstanding of
what programs and student fees
do,” Best said.
At the University level, stu
dents have complained about ac
cessibility and poor publicity
when it comes to elections. Ben
nett Lacy, Elections Board pub
licity co-coordinator, is trying to
address the issue for this year’s
elections.
“In the past it has been a hassle
to vote,” Lacy said. “This year it
will be a lot easier. With Duck
Web, you don’t have to go any
where to vote,”
DuckWeb has been the major
change made by the elections
board in an attempt to increase
interest in the elections. The
board has also been busy making
the system dependable and in
forming students about their new
voting options.
“We’ve still had some prob
lems getting the word out, but
voting this year will be better,”
he said. According to Lacy, secu
rity at the voting booths “will be
tight. Voting is restricted to fee
paying students with their stu
dent ID numbers.”
Using technology to appeal to
the voting population is nothing
new. In recent years, Oregon vot
ers have been given the option of
mailing in absentee ballots. In
1998, Hillary Clinton used a sys
tem called “Robo-Call” to in
crease voter turnout. Robo-Call
left prerecorded messages at the
homes of registered Democratic
voters, urging them to participate
in the elections, according to Na
tional Voter Services.
The Elections Board hopes that
innovations such as DuckWeb
will not only increase voter
turnout this year but will form a
solid foundation of active stu
dents for years to come.
“We want to reach the younger
students and develop a founda
tion of voters for the future,” Best
said. “Look over the voter’s
guide. Students need to be ready
to decide who will be distribut
ing their fee dollars, and if they
want to support ballot measures
that will increase the fee.”
Atteridge
continued from page 1A
Hawthorne, Calif., pronounced
him dead at 2:34 p.m.
The hockey team flew to Los
Angeles late Thursday night for
the Pacific-8 Conference hockey
finals at UCLA. Detective Carlos
Mendoza of the El Segundo Po
lice Department said the team
reached the hotel at about 11:30
p.m. Thursday, and many play
ers started drinking until 5 or 6
a.m. Friday morning.
Mendoza said he believes the
death was accidental and not a
suicide. The exact amount of al
cohol and drugs in Atteridge’s
body will not be known until an
autopsy is performed, which
may happen as soon as today.
More details will also be known
once the police can interview the
other players who were with At
teridge that night.
“It looks like just some bad
choices, a bad combination,”
Mendoza said.
Hockey team members and
Club Sports officials declined to
comment on Atteridge’s death.
Atteridge’s father, Timothy,
said he has no doubt his son died
of an alcohol and drug overdose
and said he didn’t think the
painkillers belonged to his son.
“If he did [have an injury], he
didn’t tell us about it,” he said.
The Ducks did not play in the
tournament due to Atteridge’s
unexpected death.
Atteridge was from Amherst,
Mass., and is survived by his fa
ther, mother, older brother and
sister and a younger sister. His fa
ther said he was interested in
hockey since the age of 4 and
captained his high school’s hock
ey and lacrosse team for two
years.
“When he was 4, he made me
take him to the local instruction
al league,” Atteridge’s father said.
“His love for hockey increased
every year.”
Even though Atteridge came
from a town with two major
schools nearby, the University of
Massachusetts and Amherst Col
lege, he became interested in the
west coast when he visited fami
ly in Washington.
“His heart was set on the west
coast,” Atteridge’s father said.
“We looked at [other schools in
Oregon and Washington] but he
said Eugene just felt right.”
Atteridge will be cremated af
ter the autopsy, and his ashes
will be shipped back to Amherst.
Afterwards, the family will fly
out to Eugene to finalize his af
fairs and speak with his room
mates and teammates. A memo

father Jj
rial will be held sometime after
that, although the family is not
sure when.
But for now, the family is stay
ing in Amherst to be with each
other.
“I don’t want my memories
tainted by what I would see
there,” his father said. “I don’t
want to remember what I’m
learning about after his passing.”
He said he would remember
how Atteridge was able to touch
so many other student’s lives just
with his personality.
“I always considered him to be
your normal, average high school
kid with a talent for hockey. But
he did excel in making people
happy,” his father said. “He nev
er had a down moment and had
the ability to lift everyone else’s
spirits.”
