percent of registered voters in Lane
County had returned their ballots as
of Jan. 22, a substantial early turnout
for a special election. She said that in
previous elections, most people wait
ed to vote until the last two days.
Eric Bailey, also co-Chairman of
College Democrats, said students
need to vote because the measure
will have tremendous repercussions,
such as tuition increases, if it fails.
Over the past two weeks, Bailey has
been working tirelessly to educate
voters about Measure 28. Linman
said Bailey even sacrificed $500 to
place a supporting argument in the
Voter’s Pamphlet.
“He’s living on the Top Ramen diet
now,” Linman said jokingly.
Monday’s walkout and rally is ex
pected to attract between 500 and
1,000 people, Bailey said. He said it
is important for the entire University
to raise awareness of the election
and added that rally organizers have
not received any negative responses
from University members for spon
soring a walkout.
“We have had no one tell us not to
do it,” Bailey said.
Senior Vice President and Provost
John Moseley said Tuesday’s election
is very important to the University,
and as such, the administration is in
favor of events that encourage people
to exercise their right to vote. Howev
er, faculty members are expected to
hold classes as scheduled. He added
that while attendance is not manda
tory throughout the whole Universi
ty, students are free to express their
political views by leaving class to at
tend the walkout and rally.

“With the huge number of bikes
on campus, there’s only so much
DPS officers can do,” she said.
Last term, Brown helped stop a
suspicious individual from tampering
with a friend’s bike at the rack located
outside Bean East. She said the best
precaution students can take against
bike theft is to invest in a good lock.
“Locking your bike with a cable is
just asking for it,” she said.
University Planning, Facilities
Services and DPS are combining ef
forts to eventually provide more se
cure bike parking alternatives to
students, particularly surrounding
the residence halls, Hicks said.
Added expenses to students and
limited space are expected to hin
der the progress of settling on a de
sign; however, more ideas are in
tended to be tested on campus
within the next few weeks, he said.
Besides theft, DPS also reported a
rise in drug violations from 28 ar
rests in 1999 to 105 in 2001, which
is dwarfed by EPD’s 2001 figure of
2,929 drug-related arrests citywide.
The EPD definition of a drug viola
tion covers a variety of offenses, in
cluding possession, sale, furnishing,
cultivating (marijuana), manufac
turing (opium or heroine), obtain
ing unlawfully and tampering, EPD
spokeswoman Carrie Delf said.
Although the DPS definition cov
ers the same range of violations,
Hicks said at least 95 percent of re
ported offenses involve possession

of less than an ounce of drugs.
“A joint or two is typical,” Hicks
said of the frequency of marijuana
confiscations.
A major factor in the rise of drug
violations is the increasing number
of residents willing to call in and
complain about odd smells or mis
chievous activity, he said. The de
creasing amount of student toler
ance also reflects a better level of
awareness within the University
community. When the number of
drug violations reported at on-cam
pus housing facilities quadrupled
between 1999 and 2000, Hicks said
the entire campus noticed, yet the
cause was not clearly defined. “Per
haps more students from that par
ticular (freshman) class came in
smoking pot and figured they could
get away with it,” he said.
DPS Liquor Law violations spiked
from 72 arrests in 1999 to 198 in
2000, and dropped slightly to 190 in
2001. Hicks said the rise was partly
due to the assignment of two DPS offi
cers who assisted in residence hall
rounds and enforcement in 2000.
The relatively sustained number re
ported in 2001 reflects a significant
rise in violations off-campus — from
one in 1999 to 42 in 2001 — which
includes Riley and Barnhart halls as
well as all greek houses.
“It’s a combination of greater
enforcement and a few large par
ties held on greek property,” he
said, adding that 2002 will un
doubtedly reflect an increase in al
cohol-related offenses.
