ASUO Multicultural Associate
I Katie Howard is putting together
■ the $8,000 project, tentatively
called the “Diversity resource book
I let.” The project’s aim is to collect
J information about every program
and service offered to students that
promotes diversity on campus.
Howard said there is no central
location a curious person can get
information about the different
programs the University has to of
fer. “There isn’t a set list,” she said.
“There’s not awareness of what
other people are doing.”
The book will provide quick ac
cess to the number of members t
the source of funding and the year
a group was established.

also said there has been no further
progress on the case regarding the
cause of Atteridge’s death.
Leavitt said Atteridge’s death
will be investigated on two levels.
The administration will examine

Kickboxing Dangerous?
When an untrained, non*

instructor tries to teach it!
Incorrect techniques are proven to
lead to muscle strain, and joint
and back injuries.
All of our instructors are trained
martial artists that understand
proper kickboxing techniques.
So it's safe, and it's fun.

tion, which students can find in
other guides, the booklet will in
clude information specific to the
different colleges on campus. It
will also include descriptions of
what groups are and their mission
statements.
Jason Mak, ASUO recruitment
and retention coordinator, pro
posed the project. Mak was a di
versity intern for the University
president’s office this summer.
The internships were offered in re
sponse to student demands on ad
ministration for a more proactive
approach to diversity issues.
Mak made the recommendation
after seeing a similar publication
from Washington State Universi
ty. “There should be one place we
go to find out what others are do
ing,” Mak said.
Carla Gary, director of the Office
of Multicultural Affairs, said the
booklet “is needed because there
is a growing understanding and
embrace of diversity.”
Gary said the book will be used
as a recruiting tool. She said it is
time “we see through new eyes
ing a handful of people of color. It’s
about looking at the diversity we
[all] are.”
This term Howard is targeting
student groups. She mailed ques
tionnaires to all student groups,
and groups can fill out the form
on-line.
‘‘It’s really inclusive to all
groups,” Howard said. “Everyone’s
welcome to submit information.”
The estimate of $8,000 will cov
er printing for about 1,000 copies,
which will be available through
out campus. The cost comes from
the large number of pages the book
will contain.
Howard is doing most of the
fund raising. The ASUO has limit
ed funds for the project so she will
ask student groups, department
and administrators for financial
support. “I feel it is important the
administration and faculty be in
volved,” she said. In spring term,
the ASUO will offer an internship
for a student interested in helping
complete this project. To sign up,
visit diversity.uoregon.edu or call

whether the incident constitutes a
violation of the Student Conduct
Code. Then Leavitt, Club Sports
officials and Club Sports student
coordinators will look at ways to
improve adherence to Club Sports
rules and regulations, Leavitt said.
Although all students participat
ing in Club Sports sign forms
pledging to refrain from alcohol
and drugs, they do not always ad
here to all regulations.
“The Club Sports people, of
course, are quite anxious to know
how they can make their program
better, stronger and safer,” Leavitt
said.
Club Sports offers students 42
different clubs ranging from base
ball to skydiving. The program
aims to offer students the opportu
nity to compete at the collegiate
level without necessarily having
varsity level skills. Clubs are coor
dinated by students, and coaches
for many teams are outside the
University system.
Sandra Vaughn, Club Sports
recreation coordinator, said the in
cident will definitely whether
hockey team members violated
Club Sports and conduct code
rules, but considering that the
hockey season is over, she saw no
reason to rush.
Once Club Sports launches an
investigation, the Club Sports exec
utive committee will conduct a re
view of the incident and the hock
ey team, Vaughn said. This will not
be the first time a team from the
program has come under scrutiny
for alcohol-related problems.
“A number of our clubs have
some situations and problems,
and it gets reviewed and conse
quences dulled out,” Vaughn said.
Typically a review results in
consequences such as revoking a
team’s travel privileges, requiring
a team to participate in and pay for
workshops on substance abuse or
leadership or as in one recent case,
requiring a team to travel with and
pay for parent chaperones,*
Vaughn said. In some rare cases,
she said, individual students have
been banned from the program.
“We have had several students
over the past few years that have
not been allowed to participate in
Club Sports any further,” she said.
Will Middleton, a junior general
science major and coordinator for
the men’s Club Sports rugby team,
said the rugby team has been repri
manded and sanctioned for alco
hol-related incidents in the past
but adheres to all rules now.
“Club Sports got on us pretty
hard, and ever since we’ve been
good,” Middleton said.
Senior economics major Mike
Grippi was on the rugby team
when beer bottles were found in a
state-owned van some team mem
bers were driving. As a conse
quence, the team lost all privileges
of using state-owned vehicles and
had to travel to away games using
private transportation for the re
mainder of the season.
Although others schools, such as
Oregon State University, have not
seen such severe infractions in the
past years, teams have been caught
breaking laws and school rules.
Amy Midgley, OSU coordinator
of sport clubs and special pro
grams, said incidents such as pro
gram participants getting a speed
ing ticket while driving a
state-owned van occur a few times
every year. “We’ve had incidents,
but there’s been nothing like a
death,” Midgley said.
The consequences Atteridge’s
death might have for the hockey
team are uncertain at this point.
As long as the final police report,
including the toxicology report, re
mains unavailable the University
administration and Club Sports of
ficials will wait, Leavitt said.
She said also sgid that because
Club Sports is a Student program
funded by the incidental fee, stu
dent leaders in the program will
definitely involved in the review.
According to the EMU accounting
office Club Sports received
$196,950 for the current fiscal year.
