when I started thinking, ‘This is re

Senior David Jacobson, a nearby
resident, described the incident as
a victory for the students involved.
Jacobson said a majority of the
damage was done by students in
the front of the riot, who were
starting fires and uprooting street
signs.
“It was just in the name of de
struction,” he said. “It was sponta
neous combustion.”

President Charles E. Johnson.
Johnson, who served as acting
president after University Presi

in 1968, and was killed in an auto
mobile accident in 1969.
To receive the award, the faculty
member must show an active com

University’s capacity to adapt con

getting dangerous at that point.
“No one had any control, not
even the police,” she said. “I hon

cops could have done. People
were throwing bottles at them and
lighting things on fire.”
Fox said police were authorized
to deploy tear gas and, after issuing
a warning, proceeded to do so in
hopes of breaking up the riot.
“These people were asked many,
many times to go back into their
homes,” she said. “Their behavior
did warrant the response they got.”
But some of those involved saw
it the other way.
“It was kind of like, ‘OK, now

McLauchlan demonstrated these
qualities shortly after the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks, when he helped
to recruit a group of speakers for a
public teach-in. He was also cho

the Wayne Morse Chair Committee
and his involvement with the Citi

the Friends of Eugene.

nominations submitted by faculty,

In total, EPD arrested 11 people
at the scene. All but Brady Patrick
Lane were released by Sunday.
Lane, still in-custody, was in court
Monday. Charged with a felony,
district attorneys have until June
10 to file an indictment against the
21-year-old.
The case has been given to the
violent crimes unit for further in
vestigation, Fox said.
But despite the outcome of the
investigation, the events of Friday
night will stay on the minds of
University students, much like the
Halloween riots of 1997 and 1998.
“I’ve never seen anything like
this before,” Lederer said.

Pulse brief
New band to showcase
gospel/funk style today
So They Went, a new local
band, will perform at 8 p.m. today

The five-piece band, which in
cludes former On The Rocks
member Ben Emerson on lead vo
cals and guitar, will play
gospel/funk songs, a few covers
and originals that bassist Rian
Merrill described as sounding “a
little like Radiohead.” The band
has performed a few times at The
Buzz Coffeehouse in the EMU and
a gig at the Cafe Paradiso.
At the amphitheater, So They
Went will also be joined by at least
six additional musicians, includ
ing two back-up singers, an
acoustic guitarist, an extra drum
mer and a keyboardist.
Merrill said the show is free, and
will last nearly two hours.
“We want the show to be a
stress reliever during Dead
Week,” he said.
