The men’s and women’s Oregon
tennis teams are bound for North
ern California this weekend to
take on stiff competition in their
first tournaments as full teams.
The men are heading to Moraga
and the women will be in Palo Alto
for the Omni Hotels ITA Northwest
Regional Championships.
Both tournaments will feature
the best teams in the region, in
cluding Pacific-10 powers Califor
nia, Stanford, Washington and
Washington State.
“We have a lot more to prove,”
men’s head coach Chris Russell

said. “I think everyone will be
playing at a higher level.”
All of the men have had outside
competition in separate tourna
ments this year, but for many of
the women it will be their first

look at this year’s teams.
“This is our first tournament,”
women’s head coach Nils Schyllan
der said. “We are ready for some
outside competition.”
Duck sophomore Daria Panova,
No. 44 in the nation, leads a young
team into Palo Alto with one of the
main goals being to see how the
freshman do in their first college
competition.
“At this point in the season it is
more than just wins and losses,”
Schyllander said. “It is important
to see how our younger players
will step up.”
On the men’s side, No. 63
Manuel Kost, Oded Teig and Sven
Swinnen will see their first action
since the beginning of October
when they competed in the Icy Hot
ITA All-American Championships.
Plus, junior Chris King will be look
ing to keep his momentum after
taking the championship of the
flight two backdraw at the San
Diego All-College Tournament.
The women begin play on Friday
while the men start on Saturday.

south wall of the atrium and there
will be additional panels on the roof
and skylights, with a total projected
output of about 35 kilowatts.
When sunlight hits a dark roof, it
heats either the inside of a building
or the outskirts. A newer technology
will be used in the complex, utilizing
what is called a “green roof.” This in
volves putting a thin layer of light soil
on the roof and growing some sort of
grass or succulent plant in it, Pear
son said. The roof will prevent heat
from entering the
building, thereby reducing cooling
needs on warmer days, Tepfer said.
The plants and grasses will also
be drought-resistant and will not
require irrigation, Tepfer said.
Green roofs slow down and reduce
the amount of run-off during rain
storms, and actually filter the wa
ter that does run off, which reduces
pollution.
The roofing phase of the project
will take place during the winter,
Pearson said. After that is complet
ed, the landscape architects will in
stall the green roof.

Patriot
continued from page 1A
McCarthy Era, recounting a time
when people were followed and their
phones tapped because of their politi
cal views. She challenged the audi
ence not to be intimidated by the Pa
triot Act legislation.
“If we allow ourselves to be si
lenced or pressured into agreement,
we have everything to lose,” Paladi
no said. “We have the power, let’s
never stop using it.”
Immigration attorney Teuta Nor
man described how the Patriot Act has
affected U.S. immigration policy. In
her own practice, she has noticed that
immigrants are more afraid to talk, for
fear of being reported to the Immigra
tion and Naturalization Service.
Also, Norman warned that interna
tional students may encounter more
difficulties in extending their stay in
order to complete their studies.
“Extension status is being denied
more frequently, is limited and harder
to come by,” said Norman.
Norman also said the reshuffling of
several government agencies that
once acted independently into the ju
risdiction of the Homeland Defense
Department poses a threat to immi
grants’ rights.
“I fear that the people that will serve
in the Homeland Security Depart
ment, including INS, will have an en
forcement mentality,” she said,
adding that the balance between law
enforcement and immigrant assis
tance will be lost.
Civil rights attorney Lauren Regan
and free speech attorney Brian
Michaels jointly presented their con
cerns and critiques of the Patriot Act,
saying that it serves more than just an
anti-terrorist agenda.
One of the major concerns for civil
rights activists, Regan said, is that
many legitimate acts of civil disobedi
ence can now be construed as domes
tic terrorism under the vague termi
nology of the Patriot Act.
“It is an attempt to use terrorists the
way they used communists,” Michaels
said, “to erode your civil rights. ”

happen is to recalculate the budget.
“When we get the budget thing fig
ured out, that’s where the money will
come from,” he said.
As for Corcoran, he said where
and how the money is collected
needs to be scrutinized.
“We have to get to an area of tax
reform in the state,” he said. “Many
of us, 10 or 12 years ago, predicted
that Measure 5 would cause econom
ic catastrophe. It’s left us as the most
dependent state in the nation on per
sonal income tax and small business
income tax.”
Corcoran said he thinks students
aren’t involved in politics
because it’s
something that
hasn’t been pre
sented in the
right way.
“Students
don’t see the
impact of pub
lic policy on
their lives,” he
said. “Taxes
aren’t sexy to
anyone.”
Both candi
dates live in ru
ral areas — Corcoran in Cottage
Grove and Alsup in Drain — but
both feel it will not be a challenge to
represent more urban areas like the
University.
