Student senators salute successors, say sayonara ■ Wednesday s final session of the ASUO Student Senate left many members with fond memories of the past year By Emily Gust Oregon Daily Emerald It was a night of farewells and welcomes as this year’s student senators stepped away from the table and handed over their power to the 2001-02 ASUO Student Senate. Fourteen of the 16 senators holding a posi tion for next year attended the Wednes day night meeting, including seven who are entirely new and six who are returning. Another senator, Dave Sanchez, has been on the sen ate in the past. Before stepping away from the table, the 2000-01 senators reflect ed on the highlights of their year to gether. “I think most of my favorite memories involve alcohol,” depart ing Sen. Skye Tenney said. “The senate retreat — great fun.” Departing Sen. Eric Bailey said one of his fondest memories will be his office hours — and the chances they gave him to sleep on the sen ate office’s couch. And departing Sen. C.J. Gabbe, who served on the senate for two years, said he enjoyed this year’s senate more than last’s. “I really loved the motion to ad journ,” Gabbe added before stand ing up to abandon his chair. “That’s one of my favorites.” Some of the parting senators even offered advice to their succes sors as they turned to walk away. “Just say no to money,” Tenney said. Departing Sen. Jackie Ray added, “Say no to all [special] requests.” After the power switched hands, the new senate waded through a se ries of transfer requests, including those from the Multicultural Cen ter, Students For Choice and MEChA. The only request for funds from the surplus, which held an estimat ed $3,572 at the beginning of the meeting, came from the YWCA which asked for $665 to publish its fledgling magazine, Identity. The YWCA had already come to this year’s senate twice to ask for help in publishing the magazine, which is published once each term. Past requests have been about $400, but the group needed more this time because it wanted to print 2001-02 ASUO Student Senators Returning senators: Tex Arnold Rebecca Cambreleng Andy Elliott Katie Howard Mary Elizabeth Madden Susie Shauger Peter Watts New senators: Arlie Adkins Dominique Beaumonte Ben Buzbee Nadia Hasan Ben Lacy Eduardo Morales Dave Sanchez Justin Zuiker *There are currently two open positions waiting to be filled.

Bush kids try to buy alcohol By Natalie Gott The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — President Bush’s 19-year-old twin daughters allegedly tried to buy alcohol at a restaurant, with one using someone else’s identifica tion card, police said Wednesday. Police said they received a 911 call Tuesday evening from the manager of Chuy’s restaurant who said minors were attempting to purchase alcohol. Bush's daughters, Jenna and Barbara, “were alleged to have been involved,” according to a statement re leased by Austin police. Police said Jenna Bush tried to purchase the alcohol using someone else’s ID. Barbara did not, police said. “As no offense was witnessed by APD officers, fol lowing routine procedures, further investigation is re quired to determine if any charges will be filed,” the statement said. The legal drinking age in Texas is 21. Police and the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission are investigating. Jenna Bush’s attorney, William P. Allison, could not immediately be reached for comment. White House spokesman Scott McClellan declined comment. “If it involves the daughters in their private lives, it is a family matter,” he said. Mark Dore, a manager at the restaurant, referred all questions to the corporate offices, which did not re turn messages. Less than a month ago, Jenna Bush pleaded no con test to a charge of being a minor in possession of alco hol in connection with another incident. The plea stemmed from a ticket police issued while checking for minors in possession of alcohol at night clubs along the popular East Sixth Street entertain ment district April 27. She was ordered to pay $51.25 in court costs, serve eight hours of community service and attend six hours of alcohol awareness classes. Jenna is a student at the University of Texas at Austin. Barbara attends Yale University. Police say student was murdered PORTLAND — A young woman found dead in a University of Port land dorm room was murdered, ac cording to results from an autopsy Wednesday. Friends discovered the body of Catherine Johnson, of Vancouver, Wash., a senior at the small Catholic university, in her Mehling Hall room on Tuesday. Johnson, a music major, was last seen Sunday night, when she had dinner with friends. The school is in summer ses sion, and only about 150 students now live on campus. About 2,600 are enrolled during the school year. She was one of two people liv ing in the building during the summer, and was working as dorm manager. The building could only be accessed with a se curity card. “There is no indication of force able entry,” John Goldrick, a uni versity spokesman. “People are in shock,” he said. “I absolutely can’t make any sense of it, other than it is an absolutely trag ic loss.” Security was increased on cam pus, but Goldrick said people rec ognize that it is safe.
