that was illegal. Since then, the

have seen and helped to develop,”

Though the expansion of
commencement has made
Hudzikiewicz’s job harder, she
said planning has been a worth
while experience.
“Over the years, it has expanded
and I think it is wonderful because
the more people who have an op
portunity to be individually recog
staff for keeping the University
green and gorgeous, even though
they get so little thanks for their
hard work.
4) The intellectual environment.
Barring forays into graduate
school, we’ll probably never have
the luxury of spending so much
time just sitting around and phi
losophizing again.
5) The flexibility of college life.
Screw the 8-to-5 workday — we
can get up at 2 p.m. and go to bed
at 4 a.m. if we want. Frantic bouts
of studying can be followed by a
week of casual drinking. We get
to take the classes we want and
create a whole new schedule
protest in support of the Worker
Rights Consortium, an organiza
tion that monitors labor condi
tions in factories. Newnham and
other students locked arms inside
the lobby of Johnson Hall and re
fused to leave until University
President Dave Frohnmayer
signed with the WRC.
Newnham, 26, said that protest is
one of the accomplishments he’s
most proud of.
“We got people on this campus,
who are often apathetic, to address
the issues of the exploitation of
workers,” he said. “Whether or not
people agreed with it, they couldn’t
ignore it.”
He has been an active voice on
campus since he transferred from
the University of Kentucky in 1999.
nized is wonderful.”
Those who work around gradua

ensure Hudzikiewicz’s legacy will
live on. “Everyone that I have in
troduced (Rachel Johnson) to,
asks, ‘Do you have a red dress?”’

every 10 weeks. And we can wear
our pajamas in public without
anyone staring.
With less than a week until grad
uation, we’re still waiting for the
fact that we’re graduating to sink
in. So until June 15, you might see
us wearing our pajamas around
campus, cursing our last finals
over a round at Rennie’s and gen
erally savoring our last few days of
college life. .

For the past two years, he’s been
the co-director of the Survival Center,
a resource center and umbrella or

Last year, he served on the ASUO
Programs Finance Committee.
After he graduates this August
with a degree in linguistics, he plans
to stay in Eugene and hopes to work
as a labor organizer. He has also vol
unteered to mentor a 12-year-old
boy for the next year through Com
mitted Partners for Youth.
Newnham said activism comes
naturally to him.
“I’ve always had a strong sense of
right and wrong, and I think every
one in the world deserves justice,”
he said. “I want what I do in my life
to reflect that.”
