Court rules players can sue
Two former Rutgers University
basketball players and a former
team manager who say they were
forced to run sprints in the nude
can sue their former coaches for vi
olating their privacy, a New Jersey
appeals court ruled.
The decision, issued Tuesday, July
3, overturned part of a lower court's
ruling that dismissed the suit from
Earl Johnson Jr., Josh Sankes and
manager Juan Carlos Pla.
The recent decision upheld a
lower court's dismissal of sexual
harassment allegations against
Rutgers University, its trustees
and board of governors, universi
ty President Francis Lawrence,
Athletic Director Robert Mulcahy
and former Athletic Director Fred
Gruninger.
The trio alleges that former coach
Kevin Bannon and former assistant
coach Tod Kowalczyk forced play
ers to participate in a strip free
throw contest, where players lost
an article of clothing for each shot
missed. The players have said they
thought the December 1997 drill
would end with undershorts.
"A reasonable student athlete
would find the required nudity of
the strip free-throw contest and
wind sprints, although brief in du
ration, was offensive and inappro
priately invaded (the young men's)
right of privacy," the appellate court
panel wrote.

Smoking ban
continued from page 1
very faithful to us,” he said out
side the council chambers. “But
they don’t stay there for long.
They’ll have one drink and go
somewhere else to smoke.”
Some other newly smoke-free
bars reported little or no change in
sales during the past week.
The Black Forest Tavern, The
Tiny Tavern and the Duck Inn re
ported no significant loss in busi
ness since they told customers to
smoke outside.
“We have the usual number of
complainers, but I don’t think it’s
going to affect us as much as we
thought it would,” said Barbara
Zybach, who owns the Black For
est Tavern.
Bar owners and employees men
tioned somewhat of a slowdown
this week, but said it’s possible
more people were drawn to Fourth
of July celebrations and to Eu
gene’s Art & the Vineyard festival
than to smoke-friendly Springfield
and Eugene taverns.
They say the real test will come
this winter, when rain and wind
might make smoking porches and
parking lots unappealing.
“I’m sure that will be different
when it gets cold,” said Claire
Hutton, a bartender at Good
Times Cafe & Bar.
Tracy Olsen, the owner of Doc’s
Pad, said he plans to build a patio
and has begun looking into noise,
litter and liquor control issues.
He said he’ll hold onto his six
month exemption as long as pos
sible because he isn’t certain a
patio will be enough to retain his
smoking customers.
“We have the usual number
ofcomplainers, but I don’t
think it’s going to affect us
as much as we thought it
would.”
Barbara Zybach
owner,
Black Forest Tavern
“It’s still early to tell,” he said. “I
hope people can just live with the
rule, but that remains to be seen.”
Elian Howell, a bookkeeper at
Groucho’s Restaurant & Bar, was
more optimistic. Groucho’s has
been smoke-free since it opened in
2000.
“I don’t think it’s hurt us at all,”
she said, adding that the bar’s
clean atmosphere and live music
have drawn a loyal clientele.
But that loyalty at other bars
might be challenged this winter,
said Wes Kelley, who owns the Al
ibi Tavern in Springfield.
“Some people might be devoted
for a while, but they might come
drifting over here,” said Kelley,
who said he didn’t notice more
customers last week. “It depends
on how much people want to drive
around to smoke.”
Bartender Cheryl Welch at The
Brick House in Springfield said
she saw “a lot of new faces” last
weekend.
“Usually Saturday nights aren’t
too good for us, but this one was
better,” she said.
Bar owners and restaurant lob
byists hoped the Oregon Legisla
ture would overturn Eugene’s
smoking ordinance, but a late-ses
sion compromise only reinforced
Eugene’s ban.
Last Tuesday, the Legislature
banned smoking in all work
places, excluding bars and tav
erns, and blocked localities from
passing smoking laws stricter
than the state’s. However, the 17
smoking laws passed in Oregon
municipalities before this month
were protected.
To report a smoking violation
or for more information, call the
Lane County Health Department’s
tobacco information hotline:
(541) 682-6687.
