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.
