Gates: Microsoft must
remain in one piece
SEATTLE (AP) — Bill Gates
said Tuesday that consumers
would be hurt if Microsoft
Corp. were broken up by the
government because the syn

various divisions and prod

“We wouldn’t have Win
dows today if it hadn’t been
for the Office group and the
Windows group working to
gether,” Gates said, speaking
by telephone from a comput

ference in New Orleans.
Gates’ comments came as

The impact of Nike CEO Phil
Knight’s withdrawal of all fu
ture financial support to the
University will be felt first and
foremost by the Athletic De
partment.
At a press conference Tues
day afternoon in Johnson Hall,
Athletic Director Bill Moos said
that while the department has
enough money to proceed with
phase one of the Autzen Stadi
um expansion, he expects at
least some delay in phase two.
“We are proceeding with the
design portion of the project
[and] we are about halfway
through that,” Moos said. “We
are scheduled to start phase
one of the project in late May

Health coverage mandated for all students
The new
insurance plan

the cost to
students by
more than
$200 per term
By Adam Jude
Oregon Daily Emerald
While the State Board of Higher Educa
tion unanimously approved a mandatory
health insurance plan Friday for all Oregon
University System students, the effect on
the University campus will not be felt un
til September 2001 at the earliest.
The University recently signed a five
year contract with Aetna, Inc., and cannot
immediately participate in the OUS plan,
said Bob Petit, a medical administrator at
the University Health Center. The contract
with the Chickering Group, a third-party
provider of health insurance through Aet
na, Inc., is re-evaluated each year and can
be canceled if deemed necessary, Petit said.
Many specifics of the OUS plan will
have to be worked through before it can be
implemented at the seven institutions, said
Elizabeth Dickenson, the risk manager for
the OUS special task force in charge of ini
tiating the plan.
Dickenson said the University’s current
contract does not hamper the team’s goal of
providing basic medical coverage for the
60,000 OUS students. Long-term contracts
are typical with insurance companies and
can be voided if it’s in the best interest of

All throughout her childhood
Daphne Scholinsky did not feel
like a girl. She liked to wear
pants and she enjoyed wrestling
with the kids from the neighbor
hood. When she went to the
women’s restroom at stores,
sales clerks would drag her to
her parents, alerting them they
had found their “son” in the
women’s bathroom.
Her parents felt Scholinsky
was an “inappropriate female”
and thought they could help her
by sending her to mental institu
tion after mental institution,
where Scholinsky spent three
years during her adolescence.
Scholinsky, 33, now an ac
tivist, artist and author of the
book, “The Last Time I Wore a
Dress,” shared her story with
approximately 50 members
from the campus community
Tuesday night at Gerlinger
Lounge as part of a three-day In
terSEXions Conference.
Scholinsky shared how, rather
than letting her be who she really
was, her doctors thought they
could help her become more fem
inine by having her wear makeup
and dresses. She remembers how
doctors set up a point system
where collecting points by being
feminine would enable her to go
to the dining room or walk with
out an escort.
