Emerald appoints editor By Emily Gust Oregon Daily Emerald Jack Clifford is no stranger to the newspaper business. And now he has one more position to add to his experience: editor in chief at the Oregon Daily Emer ald. Clifford, now a junior sociology major, spent many years working for newspapers before coming to the University. “That’s where I gained an ap preciation for what the newspa per business is all about and at the same time gained an understand ing of the important role newspa pers play,” he said. For 11 years, Clifford worked as production manager of the Flori da Flambeau. He later moved on to Lane Community College, where he was editor in chief of its newspaper, The Torch. Most recently Clifford has been busy at the Emerald. He began as a Pulse reporter in the spring of 1999 and eventually moved up to Pulse editor for fall and winter of this year. He now holds the posi tion of managing editor. It was his experience that made Clifford stand out from the other two candidates vying for the same position. “We felt we had three very good candidates, and it was a tough de cision,” Larry Tergesen, chairman of the Emerald Board of Directors said. “What made us select Jack was the experience that he’s had.” His ability to work well with others was another major factor in the decision. “On a personal and a profes sional level, he’s very easy to work with and will represent the Emerald well,” said Laura Lucas, a member of the board of direc tors. Clifford will delve into his new position at the Emerald beginning fall term. “I’ve been impressed with the Emerald and the voice that it has in the community,” he said. “I hope that what I can do is contin ue that tradition.” Kiosk continued from page 1 to address concerns with the serv ices Campus Link might provide, consists of Student Senate Presi dent and EMU Board member Jes sica Timpany and EMU Board members Bryan Myss, Scott Rich and Campbell Kidd. The group will report its findings to the EMU Board at the next meeting on April 26. The EMU Board addressed the controversy surrounding Campus Link in its meeting. “It is a great service, but I don’t think it is worth what we will have to endure with all the adver tising,” Timpany said. The Campus Link kiosk could be installed on a contract of either seven or 10 years. “Signing a 10-year-long con tract scares me,” Timpany said. EMU Board member Scott Rich said that he supports Campus Link. He said the booth is some thing that would make the EMU a more central place for students and thinks the kiosk would make the EMU look more attractive and technologically advanced. “I think it is a service students would take advantage of,” EMU Board member Adolf Zeman said. ASUO Vice President and EMU Board member Mitra Anoushira vani addressed the problems she has with the Campus Link servic es. Anoushiravani said she thinks installing the kiosk would put the EMU on a slippery slope for com mercialism. “We have these resources al ready, and I think the whole thing is hideous,” she said. “It’s really ugly.” Anoushiravani asked the board to look at other resources. EMU Board Director Dusty Miller said the volunteer commit tee is exactly what Campus Link wants the EMU Board to do. The board has not committed to any services from Campus Link. Miller said the working group will provide an opportunity to show Campus Link what the board wants and what it might ap prove. “We don’t sign anything until we are happy with what we are signing,” Miller said. Other business on the board’s agenda consisted of the board’s passing of six motions on the building reserve budget for priori tizing small capital projects. One of the pressing concerns, which was passed unanimously, was the refinishing of the EMU Ballroom floor. This will be the last time the original floor of the Ballroom can be refinished before it needs to be replaced entirely. The project is estimated to cost $8,450. h»Q.RE.S.
