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.

FUJICOLOR UNIVERSITY of OREGON RE www.uobookstore.com 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. —Emily Gust
