Though he officially has sophomore academic status, he believes he can graduate in less than four years and earn a post-graduate degree before leaving the University. He’s on the right track, claiming to have 16 col lege credits from AP classes taken in high school. One thing is for sure — this man is all about taking care of business. He’s keeping up, and not just in capitalist terms, either. In addition to his scholastic endeavors, Siegel is quickly becoming recognized as a force to be reckoned with, serving as a placekicker on the Duck football team. Siegel scored the first points in the Ducks’ season opener with a field goal in the first 10 minutes. He’s also known for his game-winning field goal in the last 12 seconds of the game against use. But weekends aren’t a time to relax from the daily pressures of school and football practice, Siegel said. “Basically, I don’t have a weekend,” he said. Weekends start at 2 p.m. on Fri day, when the football team gets to the stadium to leave for an “away” game. It doesn’t end until Sunday at 4 a.m. If he were ever to have some free time, Siegel would “grab some food and lay down for a little bit” at his apartment in Duck’s Village, across the street from Autzen Stadium. Free time is a rare luxury for Siegel. One reason he chose to attend the University was for its proximity to his hometown of Sacramento, so he would be able to visit. He hasn’t been home since July. UNDER THE HELMET Fortunately, the Thanksgiving hol iday will give Siegel a few days to re turn home and visit with his family and girlfriend. But Christmas with loved ones looks doubtful for Siegel. “For the past few years, the team has been in a hotel on Christmas,” Siegel said. “It really depends on what bowl we get into. We’ve got a couple more games to play before that becomes an issue. ” He said he would really like a Jan. 3 bowl game — which this season will decide the national title. Though he hasn’t been home, family and friends have traveled to see Siegel in action. His mom came up to see his first game against Wisconsin, and his dad was there to see Siegel end the USC game with a kick. Siegel’s career has gained attention at the University. But when it comes to future play, Siegel said he isn’t getting Turn to Siegel, page 8A * # ■* Thomas Patterson Emerald Freshman kicker Jared Siegel hopes to add some more shiny things to Oregon’s football trophy case. Campus groups come together to fight against domestic violence ■Organizers will host a community arts show in honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month By Diane Huber Oregon Daily Emerald Since January, members of campus and community organ izations have been brainstorm ing a new approach to raise awareness about issues sur rounding domestic violence for October’s National Domestic Vi olence Awareness Month. This year’s project has been designed differently from past years’ in hopes that more peoplfe will be reached, Women’s Center Office Coordinator Lori Brown said. In past years, she said, the University has held work shops and presentations dur ing the month. But those proj ects have tended to “preach” to students, and people who showed up for the events were often already well-edu cated about the subject. “We wanted to stop preach ing to the choir,” she said. She hopes that this year’s artistic approach will reach a wider range of people, she said. Project Coordinator and Americorps member Jessica Kuehn will play music focusing on resistance to violence against women today in the EMU Amphitheater from 1:30 I nomas Patterson tmerald Hadassah Galey pins up T-shirts to help complete The Clothesline Project in the Adell-McMillan Gallery, sponsored by Sexual Assault Support Services. 3 p.m. Resistance to violence is a strong theme in the music of many popular artists, such as Tracy Chapman, Pearl Jam, Ani Difranco and Jane’s Addiction, and their music will be featured this afternoon, according to the Women’s Center.

The moving display was organ ized by the University Coali tion Against Partner Violence and the Emerald Valley Quil ters Guild. Ten campus and community organizations also helped design the ban ners. Viki West of Womenspace and the Emerald Valley Quilters Guild, said the quilters were asked to translate the UCAP’s designs onto the fabric. She said it was challenging, but knowing that the banners will raise awareness made all the hard work worth it.

The first time Amy tried to leave her abusive relationship, she had been dat ing William about a year. She gathered up her things and packed them into her car. But as she was pulling away, William shoved her through the car and out of the door onto the pavement. Amy dated William off and on for nine years and married him a few years ago. They had a house near campus and both attended the University. It took Amy 11 years to get out of her relationship, she said. She said she knew the warning signs of domestic abuse, and she doesn’t know why she didn't leave William sooner. It might have been out of fear, she said.
