Need committed and creative student volunteers
to advise the University Health Center regarding
programs, services, finances, and health insurance.

Advisory Committee (SHAC) and will guide the
University Health Center in promoting a healthy
campus through the storm of health care reform.
Successful participants will gain an in-depth
understanding of health care delivery and its
financing, will learn about the health issues of college
students, and will develop interpersonal skills and
confidence.
Routine meetings are scheduled at 3 p.m. Fridays,
allowing members to plan their class schedules
accordingly.
Applications can be picked up at the
University Health Center front desk.
Completed applications should be
submitted to the University Health Center
Director's office by May 2.

Yamada Center hosts
Foreign Language Day
The voices of the world will res
onate in University hallways today,
as the Yamada Language Center
hosts its annual Foreign Language
and International Studies Day. Ac
cording to senior Julia Bosser, who
coordinated the event, 1,400 stu
dents from 35 different high schools
across Oregon will attend the event,
which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This is the Foreign Language Day’s
25 th year at the University.
Chinese, Italian, German,
Kiswahili, French, Japanese — stu
dents have a plethora of cultural ex
periences from which to choose.
Bosser said 109 sessions at 27 loca
tions around campus have been
scheduled, and students and faculty
will showcase different languages,
share their popular and traditional
culture and teach folk dance and
other skills. Center of Applied Sec
ond Language Studies Director Carl
Falsgraf will give the keynote speech
in the EMU Ballroom at 8:30 a.m.
Bosser said the day is important
because it exposes potential stu
dents to the international opportuni
ties at the University and enhances
academic and cultural knowledge.
“You can’t know everything by
staying in your own culture,” Bosser
said. “You need to expand.”
Yamada Language Center Director
Jeff Magoto said the day helps to pro
mote languages, as well as the Uni
versity’s language programs.
“We tell high school students that
somehow the painful process of lan
guage can be rewarded down the
road,” he said.
Magoto said that one of the Yama
da Center’s key goals was to be a re
source to students and teachers
statewide. He added the foreign lan
guage days owe their success to the
people on campus who are willing to
volunteer their time and talents.
“It’s really a campus community
effort,” Magoto said.

direction, but under the current
administration there was little
hope for the environment.
“The Bush administration is mov
ing us back toward forest plunder
and tree farming at a rate that is
spinning heads,” he said.
Heiken also spoke about the vari
ous rollbacks the Bush administra
tion has been implementing, ranging
from the introduction of the Healthy
Forests Initiative, which will allow in
creased logging, to the administra
tion’s proposal to gut the Northwest
Forest Plan rule, which protects
salmon and other species of fish.
“The central themes (of the Bush
administration) are getting rid of en
vironmental review and public in
volvement in the hopes that they
can rush through projects and hide
the destruction from the public,” he
said. “The real effect will be loss of
the public trust and a massive back
lash from citizens frustrated by hav
ing no say in the destruction of their
forests by the timber corporations.”

“We have to play very good de

got to find a way to score some runs,”
Arendsen said. “We need to take ad
vantage of any walks we get. They’re
a great ballclub and we’re going to
play our best.”

the fifth inning to take the March
g^me, 2-0.
“Arizona State is a really solid
ballclub, but I’m hoping we can
take a game from them,” Arendsen
said. “We lost on an error — two
unearned runs. We lost to them in
Phoenix. If we can come out and
not make that mistake who knows
what would have happened.”
Oregon hosted Nevada in a dou
bleheader on Tuesday. The Ducks
swept the Wolfpack, 6-1 and 4-0.
In the first game, Harris pitched
6 1/3 innings of a perfect game be
fore eventually giving up three hits
and one run. Seniors Janell
Bergstrom and Andrea Vidlund hit
home runs in the game.
The second game featured a two
hit shutout by Duck pitchers Anis
sa Meashintubby, Lindsey Kontra
and Vidlund.
Freshman shortstop Breanne
Sabol, who has started at shortstop
in all 40 of Oregon’s games, hit her
first home run of the season.
“She’s been such a defensive
whiz for us, and she’s been so frus
trated offensively,” Arendsen said.
“To see her smiling again was just
great. J. Gaudreau, our hitting
coach, made an adjustment in
(Sabol)’s style and her technique
yesterday, and (she) really worked
hard on it and brought it into the
game today.”
Senior Lynsey Haij and freshman
Beth Boskovich also homered in
the game.
After finishing up against the Ari
zona schools, the Ducks continue
Pac-10 play with their last confer
ence road trip of the season. Ore
gon travels to UCLA on May 2 then
heads north to Seattle on May 3 for
two games against Washington.
