Local briefs City manager will examine smoking ban reprieves Some of the Eugene bars that still allow smoking indoors might soon have to send their smokers outside. City Manager Jim Johnson decid ed Wednesday morning to review the six-month reprieves that allow smoking in 31 area bars while those establishments build or upgrade outdoor smoking areas. Bars and taverns unable to build smoking areas or those choosing to immediately comply with the ban haven’t allowed smoking indoors since the smoking prohibition went into effect July 1. The intent of the review is to weed out any businesses using the exten sions to delay going smoke-free from those bars legitimately constructing outdoor smoking areas, city spokesman Tom Olshanski said. “There may be a misunderstand ing with maybe as many as ten bars,” he said. City officials will report to the City Council at noon on July 18 in the McNutt Room at City Hall. The council decided to revisit the smoking ban, which passed 7-1 on Nov. 13, after a manager of three newly smoke-free bars said at Monday night’s council session that he’s lost customers to bars that still allow smoking. Women’s basketball schedule released The top of the 2001-02 Oregon women’s basketball schedule, re leased Wednesday, looks easy enough. The Ducks take on Wisconsin-Green Bay, Miami of Ohio and Portland. But it gets a little harder for Ore gon from there. The Ducks will play Texas Christian, an NCAA Tourna ment team last year, in the Pape Jam in Portland, then host Texas Tech, No. 12 in the nation last season, Nov. 26 at McArthur Court. Oregon will then travel to Kansas for the Jayhawk Classic, a tournament that includes Kansas and St. John’s. The Ducks round out the presea son schedule with games against Utah, a Sweet 16 team last year that also beat Oregon in the regular sea son, and Brigham Young. The Ducks open their Pacific-10 Confer ence slate Dec. 20 at UCLA. MCC continued from pagel those departments, he said. As the MCC adviser, he added, one of his responsibilities will be to discover what resources are avail able to students so that he can refer them to those resources when they need assistance. “The overall goal is... how to em power as many students as possi All Ways Travel ~] 1200 High 1338-4199 i Student Travel Experts*^ Mad DuCkLing nr-' Children's -theatre Discounts are available for groups oi 10 or more. $4 tickets for all ages All Shows begin at It am tin- mu. —r-*~m ■■■■ Wftfl »«|tptui VO Sunrntr tomim OffU* July 10-14 and 17-21 ni.i»iTtrr~~ n ti - •"‘“‘-•in For informatioa and rnttnUNi JkV «a 346-4192 or visit ear wtbsito at ble,” he said. Students “don’t want to be led. They just really want to be advised and supported.” ThuVan Hoang, the marketing di rector for the ASUO, said she is looking forward to working with Morozumi in the coming year. “I know through our meetings that he seems like the type of person who is really motivated and pre pared to take on whatever comes his way,” she said.
