Eligibility for Awards
■— ■ »i-—-.—
Ersted Award for
Distinguished Teaching
The late Mr. A. J. Ersted established the
Ersted Award for Distinguished Teaching
so the University of Oregon could
annually honor faculty members “who
have taught comparatively short periods
and have demonstrated exceptional
abilities to induce students to reason and
not merely memorize.” The Ersted
Award is presented only to faculty who
are early in their teaching careers. This
teaching may occur at the undergraduate
or graduate level.
Thomas F. Herman Faculty
Achievement Award for
Distinguished Teaching
This award honors senior faculty
members who have achieved outstanding
records as teachers. The Thomas F.
Herman Award is presented only to
faculty members who have academic rank
at the University of Oregon for at least
seven years, and who have demonstrated
long-standing excellence in teaching and
have contributed significantly to student
learning at the undergraduate or graduate
level.

Traci Geist said she's
excited about the
addition of women's
lacrosse as a varsity sport
even though she's a
senior and won't be able
to try out for the team.
Adam Amato Emerald
New sport
continued from page 1
Oregon was accepted into the
Mountain Pacific Lacrosse League,
which includes Stanford, California,
California-Davis, St. Mary’s and
Denver. Stanford has had a Division
I lacrosse team since 1997, while
Cal has had a program since 1999.
Baumgartner said that was one of
the major reasons she decided on
lacrosse — Oregon will have a
chance to compete right away in a
sport that has traditionally been
played only on the East Coast. But
the sport is growing fast in the West.
“Now that we’re reaching into
places we’ve never been before, it’s
very exciting for us,” said Chip
Rogers, a representative from the
United States Lacrosse National
Committee. “We’re looking for Ore
gon to really take the lead here on
helping the sport, especially here in
the Northwest.”
Currently, 16 Oregon high
schools support lacrosse teams,
while about 30 high schools in
Washington have programs.
Baumgartner used the example of
Portland, which added a women’s
soccer team in 1992, right before
the sport exploded across the na
tion. The Pilots became a national
power, most recently winning the
2002 national championship.
Members of Oregon’s club lacrosse
team said they’re ecstatic about the
addition of their sport to the varsity
ranks, mostly because it’s a positive
step for women’s lacrosse.
“Having it as a Division I sport (at
Oregon) will give the kids in middle
school and high school something to
strive for,” said senior Traci Geist,
an Oregonian who started playing
lacrosse when her high school
added the program in her senior
year there. “It’s only going to grow.”
Baumgartner and Moos consid
ered several sports during the
process. They included women’s
crew, water polo, swimming and div
ing, gymnastics and equestrian.
Grew has a strong club team, but
among boats, trailers and a new facil
ity, starting up a varsity team would
have cost $4.17 million. Equestrian,
crew and gymnastics all had project
ed budgets that were at least $70,000
more than lacrosse’s, and water polo
and swimming and diving would
have required an expansion to the
Student Recreation Center’s pool.
The lacrosse Ducks will play on
Pape Field, which they will share
with the women’s soccer team. The
team’s annual budget is projected at
$530,000, and it will require no
start-up costs.
Baumgartner said the Athletic De
partment will begin searching for a
coach in May, when the Lacrosse
National Championships conclude.
“We believe the budget that Bill has
laid out for this program will be very
enticing to some very good lacrosse
coaches throughout the country,”
Baumgartner said. “Hopefully we can
bring the coach in by July, give them
a year-plus to recruit.”
The Ducks will play a short fall sea
son in 2004, then jump into MPLL
competition in the spring of 2005.
For older lacrosse players like
Geist, it will be a little too late, but
that won’t stop them from getting
excited about the new sport.
“I won’t be around, so I won’t be
able to play,” Geist said. “But I’ll
come back to watch.”

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 4). An old friend
helps you find a way through the maze to the
treasure. No need to go it alone this year.
Don't listen to the people who say you'll
never make it. A creative partner will make it
all OK, even if you don't make it.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating:
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) _ Today is a 7 _
Pushing isn't the only way to get ahead.
Sometimes showing compassion, or simply
listening, is much more effective.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) _ Today is a 7 _
Be a stabilizing influence for a friend who's
undergoing change. Your calming words and
demeanor help everything turn out for the
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) _ Today is a 5 _
The less said, the better. Let somebody else
do the talking. This is a tough assignment,
but seif-discipline is a wonderful skill to mas
ter.
CANCER (June 22-Jujy 22) _ Today is a 6 _
You're gaining experience and seeing why
rules are good. Follow them, and minimize
the amount of stuff you have to learn the hard
way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is a 6 _ There
are a lot of temptations to spend, and a cou
ple of pretty good reasons. First, find a way
to make more money.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) _ Today is a 6 _
The others are so deeply involved, they can't
be objective. You're better than they are at
setting priorities. Don't keep those priorities
to yourself. Holler!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) _ Today is a 7 _
What you've been taught to do probably
won't work as well as expected. Cancel trav
el plans if you can. Tomorrow will be much
better.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today is a 7 _
The more questions you ask, the more you
understand, and the more your love grows.
Sounds simple, except for that first question
(the one you've been thinking about).
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _ Today is a
6 _ Don't get headstrong and think you know
it all. Others have different opinions, and
some of their ideas are quite good. Include
them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) _ Today is a 6
_ It's not good enough just to worry. You
need to make a few changes. Reassess your
routines in order to cut costs.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) _ Today is a 7 _
You may not be able to buy everything on
your list, but don't let that stop you. You're
creative and imaginative. Think of another
way.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today is a 6 _
Speak up if you want things to go a certain
way. If you don't, your interests could be
ignored, and it'd be your own fault.
