Teams include a driver, designers,
pit crew members and lap counters.
Add in the supporters who showed
up to cheer on racers Saturday, and
more than 200 people attended the
event in the upper parking lot of Lane
Community College. All competing
teams receive seed money from PGE
to start their projects.
“They each get $200 on account
to spend — just enough to race and
be competitive—but not enough to
be really fancy,” said Mike Hodgert,
a physics and engineering teacher
from Willamette High School.
Hodgert has led instruction of the
program for 10 years. He said his
dedication, including attending an
all-day event on a Saturday, is in
spired by the kids.
“You have 40 kids from our pro
gram out here on a Saturday not
only a Saturday, but a nice, sunny
Saturday — to do this, instead of off
doing other things, getting into trou
ble or tagging; you know it’s worth
it,” said Hodgert.
Each team started with 64
pounds of lead-acid batteries and
were required to weigh their batter
ies before and after the heats to en
sure a fair competition. To claim
victory, teams discover the race is
more about endurance than speed.
“Whoever goes the farthest in an
hour wins,” said Turnock. “Because
of the limited amount of energy, it
is their design that matters more in
the end.”
Chris Howard and Pat Johnson,
members of the winning team for
Willamette High, know all about
design. Black electrical tape se
cured a watch to the dashboard on
the purple and silver fiberglass
shell for Car #128. Amid the grind
ing sound of compressors the two
circled their car to show off its key
elements. This is the second win
ning car their team has built togeth
er; their entry also won first place
last year.
“Steering is the key to this car,”
said Johnson.
He pointed out the car’s triangu
lar frame and 4-foot-wide wheel
base as other key factors in their
winning design.
Weight, distance, wind resist
ance and driving skill all contribute
to how far a team’s car makes it
around the track.
The competition mirrors recent
development trends in the real
world. Companies such as Honda
are also designing electrical cars for
the future. Leading the trend is the
Honda Insight, the first gasoline
electric hybrid to exceed the 70
mpg mark in highway tests, the
company claims.
Tuition
continued from page 1
“I don’t know how much tuition
backflow I’m going to need,” said
Phillip Creighton, president of East
ern Oregon University. “Keeping a
range open allows us a great deal of
flexibility.”
Sara Hopkins-Powell, president
of Southern Oregon University,
agreed. She said the range accurate
ly reflects what the schools will
likely need.
“Two to 5 percent is what we feel
we can live with,” she said.
Geri Richmond, a board member
and a University of Oregon chem
istry professor, supported the plan.
She said because the Legislature has
the final say in what tuition increas
es will be, the OUS needs to let it
know exactly what-it needs.
“When I have students bombard
ing me with questions about their
tuition increasing, my response is to
look at the Legislature,” she said.
University presidents are expect
ed to report how much of an in
crease they will need at the June
board meeting.
In other business Friday, the
board approved naming the new
Bend branch campus Oregon State
University-Cascades Campus.

Harrelson
continued from page 1
EMU Amphitheater Friday after
noon — some stepping on bushes
and others sitting on trees — to hear
Harrelson speak about saving the
environment through “Simple Or
ganic Living.”
The speech helped kick off a
Holistic Options for Planet Earth
(HOPES) conference that took
place last weekend. In the first min
utes, Harrelson jumped between
stories, answered questions and
praised the emerging sun before he
finally spoke about organic living
and the corporations that are
killing the planet.
“These industries have kid
napped our mother — Mother
Earth — and we’ve got to get her
back,” he said.
Three of Harrelson’s friends, in
cluding two lawyers, eventually took
the stage, and all described different
aspects of the organic living theme.
Harrelson and his friends have
been biking down the Pacific Coast
Highway from Seattle to Santa Bar
bara, Calif., stopping at several col
leges and universities along the
way. A bio-fueled bus called the
“Mothership,” which runs on
hemp oil and vegetable oil and is
painted on the sides with rain
bows, unicorns and a bright blue
sky, follows the group.
Harrelson concluded his speech
with a poem he wrote, and when
everything wrapped up around
4:20 p.m., the audience gave him a
standing ovation.
