Junior
forward Flo
Hartenstein
has many
sides to him
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
Bryan White vividly remembers the
first time he laid eyes on Flo Harten
stein.
It was September of 1997, and
White, now a junior journalism major,
was arriving for his first day of college.
He was to live at the University Inn,
and all he knew about his soon-to-be
roommate was that his name was Flo
rien Hartenstein. Size descriptions
were obviously left out.
Emerald
Flo Hartenstein leads a full life—and he’s loving it
“I went upstairs
and opened the
door, and there he
was,” said White,
who is 6 feet 5 inch
es and 180 pounds
himself. “He’s sitting
at his desk by the
window and the first
thing you notice is
that he’s huge!”
As Hartenstein
stood up, White re
calls it being like an
eclipse with Harten
stein blocking out
the bright sun from
the window.
“He gets up, and
I’m just like, ‘Flo
rien?’ And he says,
‘It’s Flo,”’ White re
calls while doing his
best Flo imitation.
“I’m not used to
looking up at people
so I was really intim
idated,” White said.
“He’s got these 20
inch biceps bigger
than my head and
these size-18 or -19
shoes. He looked
like a mean dude —
not somebody you’d
want to meet in an
alleyway at two in
me morning.
Ahh yes. Welcome to the life of the
man simply known as Flo.
“A lot of people think I’m some big
mean guy,” Hartenstein said. “I don’t
laugh a whole lot out there on the
court because that’s business. Every
body who knows me off the court
knows that I’m a nice guy.”
So should students be intimidated
by Flo if they see him on campus?
“I don’t do any harm,” said Harten
stein between hearty chuckles. “I
don’t try to beat anybody up or take

continue their
quest for a
Pac-10 title
and a secure
spot in the
NCAA
Tournament
By Mitjam Swanson
Oregon Daily Emerald
Ooooh, it’s getting stressful now.
The Oregon women’s basketball team (20-7
overall, 11-4 Pacific-10 Conference) is one of
five teams still in contention for the conference
The second-place Ducks
are 1/2 a game behind Stan
ford (18-6, 11-4) and 1/2 a
game ahead of Arizona (21-5,
10-4). They’re one game up
on Oregon State (14-13,10-5)
and 1 1/2 ahead of UCLA
(15-9, 9-5).
In the next two weeks
those teams will collectively play five head-to
head games — and Oregon will be in two of
them.
To say the least, it’s crowded at the top. And
so there’s boun d to be some pushing and shov
ing up there.
And it’s all made more nerve-wracking be
cause the Pac-10 doesn’t exactly get mad props
on the national level.

■ The Ducks need a strong defensive
effort on the perimeter to hold off
Arizona State tonight at McArthur Court
By Brett Williams
Oregon Daily Emerald
Oregon displayed defensive wizardry on
Arizona State’s Eddie House
the first time the two teams
met in the Ducks’ 86-73 vic
tory nearly a month ago.
Can Oregon flirt with this
kind of success with one of
the premier shooters in the
nation one last time?
The Ducks (19-7 overall, 10-5 Pacific-10 Con
ference) will find out when they square off
with Arizona State (16-10, 8-6) tonight at
McArthur Court in a game with major postsea
son implications for both teams.
The Sun Devils are right behind Oregon,
which is in third place in the conference stand
ings. A loss puts Arizona State’s chances of an
NCAA Tournament bid on extremely thin ice.
For the Ducks, a win would give them the mag
