Needles to help smokers quit
■The Health Education
Program offers acupuncture
services to help smokers end
their habits
By Brooke Ross
Oregon Daily Emerald
In an effort to help students quit
smoking, the University’s Health
Education Program is offering
acupuncture treatment during the
Great American Smokeout, which
is held today nationwide.
The American Cancer Society
created the event 24 years ago to en
courage people to stop smoking.
Licensed Eugene acupuncturist
Tom Williams will treat 15 students
this afternoon in the medical horary
of the University Health Center.
“Acupuncture helps establish
balance in the body and reduces its
imbalances, such as smoking,” said
Matthew Mixer, another Eugene
acupuncturist.
Mixer said he is confident in the
success of acupuncture treatments
but added that no official explana
tion exists for how they work. He
said there are specific points in the
ears that, when pricked, are good for
treating addictions. His treatment
consists of inserting four needles
into patients’ears.
“If people could live one day
without smoking, then they could
live the rest of their lives without
smoking,” said Lia Riger, media re
lations and marketing director of
the Portland branch of the Ameri
can Cancer Society.
She said the American Cancer So
ciety is concerned with children
and young adults smoking, so many
of the society’s programs are specifi
cally targeted to prevent youths
from starting to smoke.
“When students go off to college,
they try new things, and they may
pick up the habit,” Riger said.
Annie Dochnahl, a University
peer health education coordinator,
said she believes smoking is a
health risk for students. She added
she is confident that acupuncture
can help people quit smoking.
Dochnahl said more of an effort to
help students quit smoking is need
ed. A University study conducted
in May 2000 showed that 20 percent
of University students smoke.
“We want to keep the awareness
in smokers that quitting is a viable
option,” she said.
Donations
continued from page 1A
In addition to the donations, Mc
Donald said season ticket sales and
Duck merchandise sales also signif
icantly increase after a good season.
But McDonald stressed that the
Rose Bowl doesn’t just mean dona
tions - it also provides an excellent
opportunity to market the academic
opportunities at the University.
“ If you look at the focus of where the
Rose Bowl is,” he said, “California is
one of our largest recruitment areas. ”
James Buch, the associate vice
president of student academic affairs,
said the attention from this season’s
winning football team is believed to
have had a small impact already. He
said that in comparison to last year,
inquiries about die University have
increased 13 percent, and attendance
at a recent open house had risen by
more than 50 percent.
“There may be just a higher inter
est in college in general,” he said.
“But I think having a successful
football team has had a positive ef
fect on the number of applicants. ”
Though Buch doesn’t yet know
how much impact the football season
has had on admissions, he said just get
ting the University’s name in the na
tional spotlight will boost admissions.
Associate Vice President of the Of
fice of Development Kathryn Owen
said it is too early to count on any pos
sible Rose Bowl-inspired donations.
Owen said a Rose Bowl game for
the Ducks would likely increase do
nations, but there are too many fac
tors involved in fundraising to ex
pect a large boost from the game.
“We don’t hang our hats on a lot of
‘ifs,’” she said, “and we don’t want to
hang everything on a football game.”
Alumni Association Director of
Marketing and Membership Tom
Clotter said a Rose Bowl appear
ance would likely mean Ducks
coming back to the flock.
“There’s no doubt that when UO
athletics do well, our membership
goes up,” he said. “Membership
goes up when it’s hip to be a Duck.”
Funds from Alumni Association
memberships support scholarships
and recruitment programs, Clotter said.
Wyden
continued from page 1A
the University of Oregon and Ore
gon State University football teams.
“This is a complicated issue. I
have certain obligations as a Duck,
and certain obligations as a United
States senator to represent my
state,” Wyden said. “I’m looking at
the possibility of wearing a green
jacket and an orange scarf.”
On a more serious note, Wyden ad
dressed the complications surround
ing the unsettled presidential election
and said the public will not allow the
election to go on “forever and ever.”
“The founding fathers knew
democracy would not always be
completely tidy,” Wyden said. “One
1 hing I’ve learned over the past few
days is that no vote is too small.”
Voicing the question on many
American minds, freshman Patrick
Smith asked about the discrepancy
between the Electoral College and
popular vote.
“In the possible event Al Gore
wins the popular vote and Bush
wins the Electoral College, would
you support a constitutional amend
ment that would do away with the
Electoral College?” Smith asked.
In response, Wyden said there will
be Senate hearings about the Electoral
College and reminded the crowd that
the Electoral College ensures that
small states such as Oregon are heard.
If the United States gets rid of the Elec
toral College, we may never see a pres
idential candidate in Oregon again be
cause they’ll go where the big media
markets are, Wyden said.
“We saw a lot of Gore and Bush
during this election because they
were competing heavily for Oregon’s
electoral votes,” Wyden said. “Our
seven votes are a big deal. I spoke to
the vice president this morning, and
they’re still a big deal. ”
Wyden, who is filibustering in the
Senate to protect Oregon’s one-of-a
kind physician-assisted suicide law,
continued to advocate his fight.
“When Congress comes back Dec.
5, we’re going to continue to fili
buster [on the issue of physician-as
sisted suicide],” he said. “It’s going
to be an uphill battle, but I’m going
to fight with all my strength to pro
tect Oregon’s rights.”
President
continued from page 1A
said. His scenario would ignore the
hand counts under way.
Some 6 million ballots were cast
in Florida’s 67 counties, and Bush
holds a 300-vote lead, the secretary
of state said. Lawsuits from both
sides are pending in state and federal
court with no swift end in sight.
Bush accepted Gore’s offer to
meet together after Florida’s con
tentious election outcome is re
solved.
“Not for Vice President Gore or
me, but for America this process
must have a point of conclusion.
America and the world must know
who will be the next president,”
Bush said.
The Florida Supreme Court earli
er rejected a request from Secretary
of State Katherine Harris to block
any manual re-counts “pending fi
nal resolution” of whether the
process was proper under Florida
law. Bush’s camp had intervened in
the case, which sought to consoli
date the tangle of legal petitions un
der one state court. The court’s rul
ing, though not the final word, gave
Democrats new vigor in their ballot
by-ballot bid to trim Bush’s lead in
the state.
