Campus safety continued from pagel Recreation Center. The e-phones average three acti vations a day, although Hicks said the majority of calls tend to be pranks or misunderstandings. In addition, DPS provides a cour tesy escort service for both men and women based on the availability of on-duty personnel. Hicks advised the University community: “If any one is feeling threatened at all, don’t be afraid to call.” For those people who can’t or shouldn’t drive, the ASUO funds the Designated Driver Shuttle for University students. The free shut tle service provides a safe, alterna tive mode of transportation for in toxicated students and their friends that prevents them from endangering themselves and oth ers by driving drunk. The University also offers a rape-prevention shuttle service specifically for women. Project Saferide was started in 1985 when the student government discov ered that an overwhelming majori ty of women did not feel safe walk ing alone at night. Based on the idea of women helping-women, Saferide oper ates three on-campus vans that provide free rides to groups of three or fewer women. The vol unteer-based program serves the University and its immediate sur rounding areas. Because of its limited capacity, women should make reservations as soon as they know they need a ride. Nikki Sancher, co-director of Saferide, said the service allows women to proceed normally with out being in a constant state of cau tiousness. “Saferide empowers women to Safety Information Designated Driver Shuttle (DDS) Runs daily—10 p.m. to 3 a.m. 346-RIDE Saferide — Rape Prevention Shuttle Service Runs Sunday through Thursday — 6 p.m. to midnight, Runs Friday and Saturday—6 p.m. to 2 a m. 346-4239 Department of Public Safety (DPS) Emergency Number 346-6666 Business phone: 346-5444 http://safetyweb.uof8gon.edu help themselves instead of relying on a date or friend,” she said. No new attacks by campus predator In six separate incidents on or near campus last spring, women were attacked by an unidentified man. The attacks occurred behind Johnson Hall, in Alton Baker Park and by the Pioneer Cemetery. Although a similar harassment occurred on the bike path on Delta Highway this summer, Hicks said the incident has not been linked to a particular person. He added that no one has been apprehended and no further campus incidents have been reported. The common thread among the campus attacks was that the sur vivors were alone and did not use the available emergency phones, Hicks said. Foisy warned students that 85 percent of sexual assaults happen between acquaintances. But she said people tend to more frequently fear strangers, though they repre sent a smaller percentage of attacks. Anne Le Chevallier is a features reporter for the Oregon Daily Emerald.

Among the suggestions in the resolution was resisting over-com mercialization of college sports teams. Universities are institutions of learning, after all, not sports fran chises, the resolution said. “Various individual faculty members have argued that we should be concerned about exces sive athletic spending at this Uni versity and country-wide,” said Suzanne Clark, English professor and member of the Senate Budget Committee. “My personal reaction to Phil Knight’s announcement, ‘I’m Back,’ is to welcome him wholeheartedly. The University values its support ers and needs them badly.” Eric Martin is a higher education reporter for the Oregon Daily Emerald. He can be reached at ericmartin@dailyemerald.com.
