said. “I can’t guarantee anyone can
get tickets Tuesday morning.”
Tickets for all of the football
games this year were available un
til at least the day after distribu
tion. Tickets for the Stanford game
ran out the morning after and Ari
zona State tickets were still avail
able for almost three days.
But some students aren’t willing
to take any chances for Civil War.
Freshman Jeremy Tesar said he
and a group of about 15 friends
plan to snatch a prime spot in line
Sunday night — equipped with
tarps, food and plenty of warm
clothes.
“We really want tickets,” he
said.
Today, both the EMU Ticket Out
let and Athletic Ticket Office at the
Casanova Center are prepared for
constant lines of avid Duck fans
starting hours before 9 a.m., when
windows open. The Casanova of
fice has six windows and comput
ers this year, two more than last
year before the renovation. And
Havn said he aims to keep all six
windows open all day.
Havn said peak times for lines
are normally in the morning,
lunchtime and at hours when
classes have just ended. He esti
mated an hour or two as the maxi
mum amount of time people will
have to stand in line at the Casano
va office.
But those who choose to wait in
doors at the EMU ticket office,
which opens only two windows,
should be willing to endure much
slower lines.
Senior Adam Woodworth, a
loyal Duck fan who has worn a
watermelon on his head to show
spirit and traveled to UCLA to
watch the Ducks play on Nov. 10,
planned to be in line at 6:30 a.m.
today. He said sometimes he goes
too early, but the process of “get
ting in line” itself becomes part of
the fun.
“We never get out that early ex
cept to get tickets to an Oregon
game,” he said. “But it’s fun. We
usually just shoot the breeze and
get some coffee.”
He added that although he
needs to make it to his 11 a.m.
class today, he’s doesn’t mind
waiting a few hours to get Civil
War tickets.
“It’s a big game,” he said. “It’ll
be worth the wait. ”

Old cemetery to get new look
■ Pioneer Cemetery’s
restoration plans include adding
signs, trees and paths
By Steven Neuman
for the Emerald
The Eugene Pioneer Cemetery
Association met with members of
the Eugene community Saturday
at the Central Lutheran Church to
reveal the association’s plan for
the “restoration, preservation and
enhancement” of the Pioneer
Cemetery. Located at E. 18th Av
enue and University Street, the
Pioneer Cemetery is one of Eu
gene’s most-used historic sites,
and it is in need of some repairs
to preserve it, according to the
EPCA.
The plan, which grew out of the
association’s desire to fulfill the
initial goals set down in 1956, was
developed by Sally Donovan, a
1987 University graduate with a
master’s degree in historic preser
vation, to help guide the EPCA to
ward restoring the cemetery.
Donovan’s recommendations
include suggestions for improv
ing functionality for cemetery
users, such as putting up new en
trance signs, attempting to modi
fy or shift walking paths that go
directly above unmarked graves
and replanting Douglas fir trees
that used to line the two main av
enues of the older part of the
cemetery.
Donovan dedicated the plan to
Ruth Lake Holmes, a Eugene resi
dent who has been with the EPCA
from its start. Holmes said she got
involved because her parents and
grandparents are buried in the Pio
neer Cemetery.
“I came on the board as tempo
rary trustee in 1956, so I said,
‘Fine, I’ll do it temporarily.’ Well,
temporary turned into eternal,
and I’ve been there ever since,”
she said.
At 140 years old, there are few
cemeteries as well-kept as the Pio
neer Cemetery, Donovan said.
“The fact that it has
groundskeepers is fantastic,” she
said. “Really, the whole thing has
been kept up incredibly well; we
just want to help it get better. ”
Mary Ellen Rodgers, a historic
preservation student studying
with Donovan, is a neighbor of
the cemetery who noted the im
portance of the city coming to
gether to recognize the site’s
needs.
“It’s a part of this community,”^
Rodgers said. “We use it in the labs
for the preservation classes, an<4
it’s a part of this town’s history.”

target of any bioterrorism at
tempts.
“I thought if it were to hit the
West Coast, it would be someplace
like L.A. or Portland, but not Eu
gene,” he said.
A number of students did not
believe the incident held any
threat.
“I think it was a hoax,” sopho
more Leia Pedro said.
“Maybe it’s just a joke,” junior
Marisol Jimenez said. She added
that her boyfriend was taking the
incident seriously.
Jimenez, who works at the Ya
mada Language Center in Pacific
Hall, said her boyfriend was fear
ful about her returning to work on
Friday.
“He is totally freaking out,” she
said. “He was telling me ‘Don’t go
near that building. Don’t go near
the post office.’”
University officials said the U.S.
Postal Service delivered the letter
directly to the building and that it
did not travel through the campus
mail office. Other students wanted
to know more details about what
happened at Willamette Hall.
“It was a little scary,” senior
Melanie Bryson said. “I wanted to
hear more about it before I have a
panic attack.”
“I would be surprised if it were
the same as the Washington, D.C.,
bioterrorist threat,” sophomore
Zach Mull said. “It wouldn’t sur
prise me if it were a hoax. I heard
it was because of someone that the
professor had rejected for a journal
he edits.”
Crasemann is a physics profes
sor and editor for the Physical Re
view A journal, which publishes
articles about physics.
Junior journalism major Melissa
Mahaffey said she was bewildered
by the event, but also angry at
whatever motivated the person
who sent the letter.
“I think it’s ridiculous. Every
one’s on edge because of what hap
pened,” she said. “Why would
anyone do such a thing?”
