Call for Nominations Faculty Distinguished Teaching Awards Deadline for Nominations: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2003 Faculty, staff, students, and alumni are invited to submit nominations for any faculty members, .5FTE or greater, tenure or non-tenure related, who have taught at the University of Oregon for a minimum of two (2) years. The Ersted Award and Thomas F. Herman Award are presented annually at Spring Commencement to University of Oregon faculty members for distinguished teaching. Each award will be accompanied by a recurring monetary reward. (Please note: Graduate Teaching Fellows have their own competition and are ineligible for these teaching awards.) 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. 015772 Nominations will be accepted either through submissions of the following form or by e-mail If your nomination is e-mailed, please make sure that you include all the information contained on this form.

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.” Contact the sports editor at peterhockaday@dailyenierald.com.
