Since 1 900 University of Oregon Eugene, Oregon

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — It
may not have looked historic,
but the Oregon men’s basketball
team did something Thursday it
hadn’t done in 42 years.
The second-seeded Ducks beat
15th-seed Montana, 81-62, at
Arco Arena to mark the Oregon
program’s first NCAA Tourna
ment victory since a win against
Utah on March 11,1960.
Since that victory, the Ducks
had lost four straight NCAA
Tournament games, including
first round exits in 1961, 1995
and 2000.
“It’s extremely gratifying be
cause it’s another one of those
firsts,” said Oregon head coach
Ernie Kent, noting all of the
records his team has set this year.
Oregon (24-8) moves on into
! a second round matchup Satur
! day against Wake Forest, which
! beat Pepperdine. The Ducks ex
• ; pect to play much better against
the Demon Deacons after get
ting all of their nervousness
and early-game jitters out
against the Grizzlies.
“Sometimes that happens,”
Oregon forward Luke Jackson
said. “The important thing is we
got the ‘W’ and now we can look
forward to the next game.”
Jackson was one of four Ducks
I in double figures with a game
i high 18 points. Luke Ridnour
| also chipped in 18, with Freddie
| Jones scoring 16 and Robert
Johnson adding a career-high 15.

UO logo’s
fate still
uncertain
■ Law school faculty members
still want to use the traditional
University seal on their official
letterheads and business cards
By Katie Ellis
Oregon Daily Emerald
The fate of the new University logo
remains uncertain after two law school
professors proposed a resolution re
questing the University continue to use
the traditional University seal on offi
cial letterheads and business cards.
Margaret Hallock and Maurice Hol
land proposed the resolution during
the University Senate meeting
Wednesday. Both professors said the
stationery used for business and aca
demic purposes should use the tradi
tional University seal instead of the
Nike “O” and said other law school
faculty members share their opinion.
“The feelings among law school fac
ulty members are extremely strong
about the prospect that the letterhead
and business cards would cease to have
the University seal,” Holland said.
Holland said law school faculty
members felt so strongly about the
logo issue they even considered sug
gesting a resolution to prohibit the
University from adopting the Nike “O”
completely. He also said continued use
of the original seal on business and ac
ademic documents would be in the
best interest of preserving the tradition
of the University.
University President Dave Frohn
mayer responded to the proposed reso
lution and said the decision surround
ing the future University logo has yet to
be concluded. He said the process of
deciding on a new logo has been a suc
cessful consultative effort among mem
bers of the University community.
Frohnmayer asked University Sen
ate members not to consider the reso
lution because it would disrupt the
consultative process by adding politi
cal legislation.

The Oregon
Dance Project
brings together
some of the
best artists in
the community
By Lisa Toth
Oregon Daily Emerald
As they admired each other under
the bright, piercing glow of the dress
ing room mirrors, there was excite
ment in the voices of five of the
dancers in this year’s Oregon Dance
Project. But the dancers weren’t apply
ing lipstick or an extra coat of mascara
— they were cutting one another’s hair.
As they snipped and adjusted their
short, black wigs at a tech rehearsal
Thursday afternoon, they exchanged
scissors and practiced fitting the nylon
netting that underlies the hairpieces
on their heads. They were cutting their
$60 wigs so they each looked identical.
Fine tuning everything from cos
tuming to the splashes of color that il
luminate the stage were just a few of
the adjustments the dancers made to
prepare for today’s 7:30 p.m. perform
ance in the Soreng Theater of the Hult
Center for the Performing Arts.
Elise Moore, who is the founder of
the Oregon Dance Project, also serves
as producer, choreographer and
dancer in the show. She said the proj
ect brings together some of the finest
artists in the community, displaying
both skill and local dance tradition.
But she said it also promises to break

PFC criticized for funding
events with religious roots
■Some have questioned PFC’s
use of viewpoint neutrality
when distinguishing between
‘religious’ and ‘cultural’ events
By Diane Huber
Oregon Daily Emerald
According to the Oregon Constitu
tion, state money cannot be used to fund
religious activities, but the Muslim Stu
dent Association celebration Eid Al
Adha and MEChA’s Dia de los Muertos
— two events funded by the ASUO Pro
grams Finance Committee — have
strong religious roots.
Members of student government and
student programs have questioned
PFC’s use of viewpoint neutrality when
allocating money during this year’s
hearings, and some have criticized PFC
for careless use of the terms “religious”
and “cultural” when allocating money
to MSA. The debate is not unique to this
year, as questions have also come up in
