they needed.
“The least we can do is back up
what they’re doing with our music,”
said band member Austin Jones, a
sophomore environmental studies
major.
The day of the concert signifies
more than just a fundraising event.
Friday also marks the sixth birthday
of Jordan Thompson, a Eugene boy
who has leukemia.
Each team competes in honor of
a person who has leukemia, lym
phoma, myeloma or another blood
related cancer. For the Eugene chap
ter, that person is Jordan.
Over the past months, members
of the team have developed a close
relationship with Jordan and his
family, Dorst said.
The boy’s courage in facing his dis
ease has been a source of inspiration
to them in their training, she said.
They must push themselves con
stantly to go farther and to run longer.
At times, she said, they literally feel
as though they cannot go on.
But whenever a member of the
team wants to give up, Dorst said,
the team mentors say the four words
that always keep the team going:
“Just think of Jordan. ”
Dorst said when she thinks of the
challenges Jordan and other people
with leukemia face, she is reminded
of how fortunate she is to be able to
run at all.
“At least I’m out here,” she said.
“At least I can do it.”
Volunteer efforts have a signifi
cant impact on what the society is
able to do, Oregon Team in Training
cycle program manager Anne Zoor
majian said. Since the program be
gan in Oregon in 1993, volunteers
statewide have raised more than
$1.5 million, while nationally, vol
unteers have raised more than $150
million. She said 75 percent of what
volunteers raise goes directly to the
organization.
Tickets for Friday’s concert are $4
in advance or $5 at the door. They
will be sold Wednesday afternoon
outside the University Bookstore.

when he was previously on the fac
ulty, such as Grammar for Journalists
and Information Gathering, which is
often referred to by journalism stu
dents as “info hell.”
“Info hell has always been my fa
vorite,” he said.
The University is poised to initiate
another large campaign for donations
similar to the Oregon Campaign, Mc
Donald said, and he added that he
didn’t have the desire to put in the
high level of commitment required
for campaigns of that sort.
But he stressed that the primary
reason why he is stepping down
from his post is that he just wants to
return to the classroom.
“It’s pretty simple — the most im
portant person at the UO is the next
student who walks into my office,”
he said.
Because McDonald has been away
from the classroom for almost 10
years, he said he is eager to see how
students have changed and also to
look into the “dramatic dependence”
students now have on the Internet for
acquiring information.
“In some ways, I’m also returning
as a student,” he said.
Tim Gleason, dean of the journal
ism school, said he was eager to
have McDonald teaching again.
Gleason and McDonald worked
together when McDonald was still
with the journalism department, so
a good working relationship has al
ready developed, Gleason said.
“We are extremely pleased to
have Duncan returning to the class
room,” he said. “He is an outstand
ing teacher.”
