THE CIVIL WAR Presented by Your Northwest Dodge Dealers r fot a story idea? G ive us a cal Emerald 346-5511 DPS continued from page 1 with a notebook and fled. The third and most severe attack occurred Feb. 29 about 2:30 p.m. on the bike path leading from the Uni versity to the Autzen Stadium area. A female University student was walking near the Autzen footbridge when a man followed her, made threatening comments, fondled her and tried to push her off the walk way and into nearby bushes, ac cording to Eugene Police Depart ment reports. The suspect fled when other people walking along the path approached. DPS and EPD officers say there is no clear connection between the three attacks, other than that women walking alone in relatively isolated areas were targeted. No suspects have been identified. “This could be a coincidence or perhaps something else,” Fitz patrick said. Fitzpatrick said the bulletins will encourage students to avoid walk ing alone, follow well-lighted paths and use such campus programs as Project Saferide. EPD Detective Pat Ryan, who works with the violent crimes unit, also suggested people avoid dark, isolated places. ( 4 There's never going to be a sufficient amount of light, but students have to make appropriate deci sions about where they go. Shayna Kent ASUO safety advocate “You have a number of areas from 1-5 to downtown where there is a lot of brush, and it’s easy to be isolated,” he said. “It’s a situation where somebody could get one-on one with a potential victim.” Ryan said the bulletins might help prevent attacks if students take the time to read them. “If a student pays attention to them, reads them and takes them to heart, the chances of becoming a victim are greatly reduced,” he said. DPS is forming a strategy along with the Office of Student Life to place the bulletins in conspicuous places on campus and to make the bulletins sufficiently eye-catching. Shayna Kent, ASUO safety advo cate, said the bulletins might help reduce crime. “Students need to be more in formed,” she said. “There’s never going to be a sufficient amount of light, but students have to make ap propriate decisions about where they go.” Kent, who is working on an ASUO safety information pam phlet, suggested that students use main entrances to buildings, walk in pairs or groups and stay in well lighted areas. Kent is also working to convince the University to put up more lights around campus and reinstall Duck Feet, the yellow, duck-shaped reflective footprint paths that lead through well-light ed areas. Gambling continued from page 1 gered $50 or less. “The figure [72 percent] seems very high, but what does it in clude?” Gray said. “Everything from playing ‘horse’ in the back yard on up is gambling, and if I get a survey asking me to mention all gambling, and I put that down, then the answer is yes, I’ve gam bled. Most of what we’re talking about is not things like betting with a bookie.” Of more concern to Gray and Bill Clever, assistant director of compliance, was the statistic stat ing that more than 5 percent of male student athletes provided in formation for gambling purposes, bet on a game in which they par ticipated or accepted money for performing poorly in a game. “Five percent; that’s kind of scary,” Clever said. Gray said he does not feel that the University is any more likely to have athletes who gamble than any other school and that Eu gene’s relatively small size may provide a safer environment for athletes than most colleges. The National Collegiate Athlet ic Association recently began con ducting background checks on all officials working at the men’s bas ketball championship tourna ment, looking specifically for any previous instances of gambling. Greg Graham, an assistant coach for the Ducks basketball team, said he supports the NCAA’s decision to conduct the background checks. “I think it’s good,” Graham said. “If you’re an official, you’re under the same restrictions as the coach es or players, and you should have nothing to hide. [The back ground checks] help to keep the integrity of the officials intact.” Ann Vollano and Mike Cross of the University of Michigan’s ath letic department conducted the two surveys. The survey of stu dent athletes is the only compre hensive quantitative research done on student-athlete gambling in at least 10 years.
