Laura Heinonen loves working Saturdays at Car
son Dining Center.
The University sophomore said Saturday is
the best time to catch students sneaking into the
dining hall, one of two at the University.
“I caught three last Saturday; I caught three to
day already and the day is not even over yet,” she
said. Heinonen is a roster, which she explained is
something like a bouncer. Students living in resi
dence halls must purchase a meal plan that distrib
utes meals to them based on a point system, which
they can use throughout the University’s seven din
ing venues. Because new points are not awarded
until Sundays, Heinonen said that students often
run low on points Saturday. She said this gives
them two choices: Pay $5.25 for lunch ($7.25 for
dinner), or risk paying a $25 fine on top of the meal
price, and try to sneak their way in.
“They usually try to sneak in through the back
door,” Heinonen said. “Catching them is one of the

Duck QB
picked
third in
NFL draft
■Joey Harrington, one of six
Ducks drafted, goes to the Detroit
Lions with the third overall pick
By Adam Jude

Joey Harrington didn’t have to wait
long after all.
The Detroit Lions made the former
Oregon quarterback the third overall
pick Saturday in the NFL Draft, despite
speculation that Harrington’s stock had
fallen out of the top 10.
“No matter where I was picked, I feel
like I am going to be pretty successful
(in the NFL) over a long period of time,”
Harrington told reporters Saturday.
“I’m sure happy I didn’t have to wait
very long to get a chance to get started.
But I know that if I went (third) or even
103rd, I’m a good player. And that’s
what I concentrated on when everyone
was talking about me slipping in the
(first) round.”
Last week, sources close to the Detroit
organization said the Lions were not go
ing to select Harrington with their first
round pick. Confident with second-year

Circuit judge
dismisses city
elections suit
■Three City Council candidates
will be on the May 21 primary
election ballot after all, despite
protests by fellow candidates

Saying that nobody was legally harmed i
by alleged election law violations, a judge
on Friday dismissed a lawsuit that sought
to erase three City Council candidates
from the May 21 primary election ballot.
Lane County Circuit Court Judge Lyle
Velure ruled that the City Council candi
dates who filed the suit were not denied
legal rights when the city placed on the
ballot other candidates who had filed
election paperwork in an order incon
sistent with city law.
Eugene attorney Ed Spinney, who
represented the plaintiffs, argued un
successfully that his clients will be
legally harmed when they have to cam
paign against candidates who failed to
follow the law.
