Hager speaks on police raid
■ Back from Italy, University
student Morgan Hager says
police wearing riot gear beat
nonviolent protesters
By Jeremy Lang
Oregon Daily Emerald
Morgan Hager, the University stu
dent injured and arrested during the
G-8 global summit in Genoa, Italy,
last month, released a statement al
leging that police clad in riot gear
stormed the gymnasium where she
and other protesters slept, beating
them despite their nonresistance.
In the statement, which has been
delivered to the American Embassy
in Milan, Italy, as part of its investi
gation of the incident, Hager said
she suffered a fractured hand, blows
to the head and severe bruises.
Hager declined to be interviewed
by the Emerald.
She said in her statement, howev
er, that she and other anti-globaliza
tion protesters were sleeping in the
gymnasium when Genoa police
raided the building and arrested the
protesters inside.
“The police rushed into the room.
They were dressed in dark clothing
and may have had protective vests
under their clothing because they
looked exceedingly bulky,” she said.
“They wore helmets with plastic face
covers. They wore heavy boots,
gloves and carried batons. I am certain
no skin was showing on any ofthem.”
Hager said the police began beating
the protesters despite their attempts
to overcome the language barrier by
showing the two-finger peace sign.
“The first thing I recall the police
doing was kicking a chair into the
group of people kneeling on the
floor,” she said. “One came over to
our corner and, as I was kneeling
with my hands extended, he kicked
me in the side of the head, knocking
me to the floor.”
She said that, amid numerous
trips to the hospital and different
prisons and cells, the police took
her money and plane ticket home
and shaved off most of her hair.
She said a judge informed her she
had been charged with resisting ar
rest, being part of a criminal organi
zation, causing bodily harm to the
police and possession of weapons.
Hager was deported back to Oregon
in the custody of her parents, al
though she said police, her lawyer
in Italy and the judge never men
tioned deportation.
Hager said her deportation papers
said she and the other arrested protest
ers had been dropped at the border
and told to leave the country immedi
ately, but police actually released
them at an airport in Milan with no
flights going to the United States and
without any money. Some people, she
added, had their passports taken away
during their jail time also.
A group that helped organize the
protest came to the airport and found
houses for them to stay at until they
could arrange to leave the country.
Hager had planned to spend fall
term in Italy studying art, which is her
major at the University. She had gone
to Italy early to join the protest against
the eight industrialized nations that
met in Genoa late last month.

State grants music school
funds for remodeling
Gov. John Kitzhaber on Wednes
day signed into law a bill that will
give the school of music $7.6 million
for a massive remodeling project.
The project, which will cost
$15.2 million, is aimed at eliminat
ing overcrowding in the music
school’s building, parts of which
were built in 1917 to accommodate
300 students. Today, music school
officials say about 2,000 students
use the building, and 500 of them
are music majors.
The school of music has so far
raised $700,000 and hopes the state
funds will compel private donors
to give more to the project.
While construction plans are ten
tative, current drafts call for provid
ing more classrooms, rehearsal
rooms, studios, office space and a
performance hall designed for
modern art performances.
McNair Scholars Symposium
begins today
After a summer or more spent re
searching a range of topics varying
from mathematics to ethnic studies,
a group of University students will
soon have the chance to present the
results of their research to the public.
Thursday kicks off the .McNair
Scholars Symposium, to be held in
Room 184 of the Knight Law School.
The McNair Scholars Program
was established to give minority
students and first-generation col
lege students a head start on
preparing for graduate school.
During the academic year, stu
dents selected for the program attend
workshops and classes on how to
succeed in graduate school. They are
also paired with faculty mentors
who work with them throughout
their involvement with the program.
McNair Scholars also have the op
portunity to participate in a paid
summer research internship in
which they conduct original re
search on a topic related to their field
of study. The annual symposium is
the culmination of that internship.
Gail Unruh, the program’s coordi
nator, said some of the 17 students
presenting began their research dur
ing the regular academic year, while
others started their studies at the be
ginning of the summer.
Research projects covered a wide
range of academic fields, including
biology, mathematics, ethnic stud
ies, political science, sociology and
anthropology, he said.
In keeping with the traditional
format for academic conferences,
each presentation will last about 20
minutes, Unruh said, and will be
followed by a 10-minute question
and-answer session.
The symposium begins at 9 a.m.
Thursday with a keynote speech by
Knight Law School Dean Rennard
Strickland, with the last scheduled
presentation at 4:30 p.m. On Friday,
students will present from 9 a.m. un
til 2 p.m. Admission is free and stu
dents, faculty and community mem
bers are invited to attend.

the Rose Bowl this year. The na
tion’s most-read sports magazine
picked Oregon seventh overall.
ESPN Magazine picked the Ducks
fifth and the Beavers 12th overall.
The magazine rankings came on the
heels of the USA Today/ESPN
Coaches’ Poll, which ranked Oregon
seventh, and the Pac-10 Media Poll,
which put the Ducks first in the Pa
cific-10 Conference.
“It’s a reflection of the quality of
the team,” Oregon Athletic Director
Bill Moos said. “I’m just tickled and
proud.”
“It’s nice to be considered one of
the better teams in the nation,” Bel
lotti said.
The Oregon schools will soon re
ceive even more hype via television.
Harrington and Simonton have been
followed by ESPN camera crews re
cently, and they will be featured on
“The Life,” a show that chronicles
the lives of athletes, on Aug. 25.
Bellotti has also been occupying
the airwaves, as he chatted publicly
online with ABC analyst Terry
Bowden Wednesday morning.
After practice Wednesday, Bellot
ti noted that all this attention won’t
matter come January.
“It’s much more important where
we stand later in the season,” Bel
lotti said. “It’s the postseason poll
that really counts.”
But for now, the Ducks will just
drink up all the hype and hope it
doesn’t stop until February.
