Moseley added that the later sched
uling offers more options for students
who may work or have other activi
ties during the day. The tuition incen
tives proposal will not affect classes
scheduled after 5 p.m., which are of
ten scheduled at night to accommo
date student schedules, he said.
“We don’t arbitrarily schedule
classes late at night for the heck of
it,” he said. “They’re usually being
held in the evening to serve the in
terests of students in the class. ”
Safety advocates undecided
Project Saferide Co-Director Mor
gen Smith said she isn’t sure whether
Moseley’s reasoning would be
enough to ensure student safety on
campus at night. She said campus
safety would probably remain “about
the same” with the new scheduling,
neither better or worse than before.

Physics student granted
prestigious scholarship
Ian S. Sullivan became the third
University student in the past two
years to earn a Barry Goldwater
Scholarship for academic excel
lence and scientific research.
“I was a bit nervous about it,”
Sullivan, a junior in physics, said.
“Our department head said it had
been quite a few years since some
one won it for physics.”
The scholarship, named in hon
or of former U.S. Senator Barry M.
Goldwater, was awarded to five
Oregon students in 2002. To be eli
gible for the award students must
he nominated by a professor.
The award was founded in 1986 to
“alleviate a critical and current short
age of highly qualified scientists,
mathematicians and engineers,” ac
cording to the Barry M. Goldwater
Scholarship and Excellence in Edu
cation Foundation Web site.
The foundation will award Sulli
van $7,500 for school expenses, be
ginning in the fall.
“I got it on April Fools’ Day,” the
19-year-old said, laughing. “They
planned for me to get it then.”
Sullivan said he began classes at
the University at age 16 and hopes
to conduct research professionally
after graduation. He is working on
two projects in the Cryogenic Heli
um Turbulence Lab: a study of the
properties of turbulence and one of
vortex ring deflection. He said the
rings are “very complex” forma
tions and their underwater appear
ance resembles smoke rings.

Safety forum proposes ideas
About 50 students, campus ad
ministrators and members of the
public attended a forum Thurs
day in the Knight Library Brows
ing Room to discuss the spate of
attacks in recent weeks and brain
storm possible solutions to im
prove campus safety.
After a brief overview of the re
cent attacks, a small group of cam
pus administrators fielded a couple
of pointed questions from the
crowd on the University’s response
to the incidents and the security
services available to students.
Later, the crowd split into four
groups to discuss aspects of campus
safety. One group discussed ira
provements to campus lighting and
ways to focus campustraffic to have
people walking on designated
paths; another talked about ways to
educatethestudent populaceabout
campus safety, such as holdingsafe
ty sessions during IntroDUCKtion,
Another group brainstormed ways
to improve the flow of information
on campus. All the suggestions
were written down, and forum
leaders encouraged attendees to
continue discussing ways to im
prove campus safety
Another meeting to discuss
safety issues will be held from
3:30 to 5 pm. on April 24 in the
Heritage Room of the Bowennan
Building on campus.
around the University area to fe
male University students, could
have trouble keeping up with de
mand if more students taking late
classes call the service for rides.
Saferide already gives an average of
60 rides a night, and Smith said ex
panding service is not an option
without more resources.
“The only way we can expand is
if we get more funding and more
volunteers,” she said. “We can’t
necessarily give more rides just be
cause of more demand.”
Night Ride, another campus trans
portation service that begins service
this summer, may be able to help re
lieve some of that demand. Devel
oped by Saferide’s directors, the co-ed
shuttle will have one van and operate
similarly to Saferide. Both services are
funded by the student fee.
Both Saferide and Night Ride will
give rides on “a first-come, first
served” basis, she said. “There’s
nothing more we can do.”
Michelle Manoguerra, communi
ty education coordinator for Sexual
Assault Support Services, said she
also was not sure what affect the lat
er scheduling would have on cam
pus safety.
“I could see it both ways,” she said.
“I would hope it would be safer. ”
Although most of the recent at
tacks of students on campus have
occurred after dark, she said it is im
portant to remember that time of
day is not the only risk factor to con
sider in sexual assault.
“Thirty-five percent of sexual as
saults happen during the day,” she
said. “It’s not always at nighttime.”
Student leaders to wait and see
ASUO Vice President Joy Nair
said she has concerns about the in
crease in later classes because she
doesn’t think administrators con
sidered the safety of students at all
when they developed the proposal.
“They feel like it won’t really af
fect a lot of students, and I think that
could be a problem,” she said.
Nair said she and ASUO Presi
dent Nilda Brooklyn have dis
cussed their questions about the
proposal with administrators, but
they are leaving safety responses for
next year up to incoming ASUO
President and Vice President Rachel
Pilliod and Ben Buzbee.
Brooklyn and Nair, who have just
more than one month left in their
term, will hand over control of
ASUO on May 25. Pilliod said she
hadn’t “heard anything definite as
to whether people think (later class
es) would increase security con
cerns,” but said she and Buzbee
would have a better idea as to how
the new scheduling will affect stu
dent safety by fall term.
Once fall term gets underway, she
said they would look at “where
we’re at” in terms of safety on cam
pus, and work on addressing any
safety issues related to the later
scheduling before winter, when
more students would have classes
ending after dark.
“As soon as we get into Novem
ber, December, the winter months,
it will become much more of a con
cern,” she said.
