On the Rocks takes
third at tournament
On the Rocks, the University’s
all-male a cappella group, took
third place Sunday at the Interna
tional Championship of Collegiate
A Cappella tournament at Lincoln
Center in New York City.
The University of Michigan’s
Compulsive Lyres won the six-group
competition, and Last Call from Cor
nell University took second place.
During the competition, each
group had 15 minutes of perform
ance time. On the Rocks, a 9-mem
ber group, performed three songs:
“Center of Attention,” by Guster, “I
would Fly,” an original song from
member Chris Dobson and “In the
End,” by Linkin Park.

speculated that the photographer
must work for Philip Morris, the
company that owns Marlboro.
“I think it shows that they’re very
scared,” Corvallis physician Bruce
Thomson said. “They know they’re
wrong, and they’re scared.”
The protest, which lasted about
an hour, was organized by several
University students, Tobacco Free
Lane County and Multnomah
County tobacco prevention pro
gram coordinator Erik Vidstrand.
The anti-smoking activists are
protesting grassroots marketing
campaigns organized by Philip
Morris to gather information about
smokers. Members of the Marlboro
Bar Nights promotion at Jogger’s
Bar and Grill on Tuesday photo
copied the identification of smok
ers who signed up to win trips to
one of the company’s three ranches
in Arizona and Montana.
“I think it shows that
they’re very scared.
They know they’re wrong,
and they’re scared.

Big Fish NW Talent Representa
tion, a Washington-based company,
posted fliers on campus earlier this
month seeking “bright, energetic”
individuals who could “easily fit
in” with the 21-30 age group night
club scene. The flier said the work
ers would help customers play
“easy to win” casino games and set
up Marlboro promotional materials
in area night spots. The flier said
workers could not hand out ciga
rettes or recruit patrons to smoke.
Members of the anti-smoking
group said they are opposed to tobac
co promotions such as Marlboro Bar
Nights because college students are
being courted as future smokers by
big tobacco companies. Protesters
said the tobacco companies make
smoking seem “glamorous” and
“sexy” by giving away trips and oth
er merchandise at such promotions.
“If you haven’t started smoking
by the time you’re 21, chances are
you won’t,” said Paula Staight, di
rector of health education for the
University Health Center. “The data
overwhelmingly supports that.”
Elizabeth G. Wolcott, a Universi
ty student, said she was attending
her first anti-smoking rally.
“It’s the biggest preventable
cause of death,” she said. “In col
lege, some people go out with
friends and they smoke. Then Marl
boro comes along and tries to make
them everyday smokers here.
They’re targeting college kids.”
