The concert began like a circus act with colored lights and a "Cirque du Soleil" feel to it. McCartney played more than 40 songs. Jeremy Forrest Emerald UO preps child care center land Neighbors hope to challenge the University’s building permit at a public hearing Oct. 29 Jillian Daley Family/Health/Education Reporter Ground is being cleared for the Univer sity’s East Campus Children’s Center, but a neighborhood group is continuing in its efforts to block the project. The University has started cutting down trees and moving houses in the area, and those who oppose the project say the University does not yet have a right to work on the land. In order to begin building on the site, the University must obtain a conditional use permit. Eugene Hearings official Vir ginia Gustafson approved the permit on Sept. 20, but two neighbors from the Fair mount Neighborhood Association filed an appeal Sept. 30. The University does not need a permit to clear the area, said Terri Harding of Satre Associates P.G., the University’s ap plicant representative. Harding added that the University owns the land. “It’s complicated, but it’s not unknown that the University is interested in moving these houses,” she said. “It’s not illegal.” When neighbors Jeff Osanka and Toby Grant filed the appeal, they said they thought it would prevent the University from moving forward a proposal they think is unsound. Some neighbors reacted calmly to the recent developments. “It doesn’t come to me as a surprise,” Fairmount resident Jeff Nelson said. “They need to wait to get approval from Turn to Childcare, page 5 Ducks ‘Sun’ burned at Autzeri Oregon’s undefeated streak ends at 11 as Arizona State overcomes a 21-0 first-half deficit Oregon 42 Arizona State 45 Adam Jude Senior Sports Reporter With 9:15 remaining in the second quarter Saturday, Oregon tailback On terrio Smith capped an easy five-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown run, al ready his second score of the game. The Ducks took a 21-0 lead over Ari zona State and began to look for the cruise-control button. Oregon appeared to be headed for its first 7-0 start in 69 years and extended its school-record winning streak to 12 games. Then the Ducks got conservative. Or complacent. Or cocky. Or all of the above. And then they got shocked. And hum bled. And embarrassed. The result? Oregon’s first loss in al most exactly one year, a 45-42 Sun Devil victory in front of a stunned crowd of 56,432 at Autzen Stadium. “It leaves a very nasty taste in your mouth,” Oregon quarterback Jason Fife said after suffering his first loss as a starter. “We don’t want this taste ever again.” By the time Fife was hit and then inter cepted with 1:35 left, ASU quarterback Andrew Walter had rewritten the record books — and made the Oregon secondary look like a Pop Warner youth team. Walter set a Pac-10 record with 536 Turn to Football, page 9 EPD finds fewer party violations The West University Focused Patrol issued 11 MIP citations Friday and Saturday nights Jan Montry Campus/Federal Politics Reporter A disorderly party was dispersed and several citations were is sued during the weekend as the Eugene Police Department con ducted its West University Focused Patrol. The patrol consisted of eight police officers and a sergeant, who were on duty Friday and Saturday from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Officers con ducting the patrol each worked 12 extra hours during the weekend. On Friday, police issued six minor in possession citations, including five to people who identified themselves as Univer sity students. Officers broke up a “loud and disorderly” party at 2355 Agate St. that resulted in 17 people, including 11 who identified them selves as University students, being issued a total of 23 citations. Officers also seized two kegs at the party. On Saturday, the patrol team issued several citations, includ ing seven MIPs, 12 open container violations and two DUIIs. Four citations went to University students. EPD Lt. Pete Kerns said there were fewer obvious citations this week than two weeks ago, but said it has not been determined whether the focused patrols are responsible for the change. In addition to instigating the new patrol, EPD detectives are still investigating the riot and making arrests. Last week, Daniel Robert Petrie and Justin David Mespelt, both 21, were charged in connection with the riot after being identified on videotaped footage. Petrie was identified as one of several people attempting to up root a street sign at the intersection of East 14th Avenue and Ferry Street. Mespelt, who lives with Petrie in Springfield, was identified as an accomplice in setting fire to a University Catering cart at the intersection of East 14th Avenue and Hilvard Street. Neither Petrie nor Mespelt are students at the University. Police say they anticipate more arrests as they continue to in vestigate the riot, and detectives are renewing their offer to give ci tations to people who turn themselves in instead of arresting them.

And while no Libertarian has ever won a governor’s race in Oregon, that hasn’t stopped him from trying. Cox said even though he hasn’t visited the University, he thinks he identifies closely with people on campus. “I find that students in particu lar are more receptive to new ideas,” he said. “They’re more re ceptive to the idea that a third par ty might have the answers that the other two major parties don’t.” He said as a 38-year-old, he ksjtULfinds things in common with students because he treats every one equally. “I think that I’m able to relate to students because students are human beings,” he said. “I don’t talk down to them, I talk to them, as peers.” He stressed that students should be able to choose where they go to school and how the state spends higher education money. “If you add up the entire budg et for higher education ... you’ll find that we are spending, as a state, $25,000 per student, per year,” he said. “In my plan in that case, we convert all of those sub sidies into portable scholarships for the students. “That means as an Oregon resi dent, you would get $25,000 per year to pay for tuition anywhere in the United States.” Cox said he would reduce ex penditures in the state budget in almost every department to rid Oregon of “wasteful” spending. He referred to a plan he’s pub lished that would glean more than $1.7 billion out of the current budget, by privatizing some gov ernment departments and taking money from jobs positions that Turn to Cox, page 4
