You do not have to be an honors student to take this course.
Open to all students with sophomore standing or above.
This course will begin with the journal,
move to autobiography and fictionalized
first-person accounts and will conclude
with third-person short stories.
In class, the stories of Welty, Carver,
Porter, Woolf, O’Connor, and
Walker will be discussed to
highlight technique, as well as
concerns of characterization,
style, tone, and plot. When
appropriate, we will listen to
recordings of authors reading their
own works.
Writing assignments include several
stories and a writer’s journal. Class
enrollment is limited to twenty-two.

Daily scavenger hunt: Stone sculpture
What the heck is this? As part of the local
celebration for National Historic Preservation
Week, University graduate student and
Associated Students for Historic Preservation
member Christopher Bell is sponsoring a
week-long photo scavenger hunt and
awarding prizes.
The contest: Be able to correctly identify the
location of the photographed artifact on
campus, what it is and a little about it. The
Emerald will print a different photo each day
this week — to enter, simply send an e-mail to
hpweek2003@yahoo.com and make your
guess. All answers will be printed Monday.
Today's photo: Who is this guy? Where can you
find him? What is he made out of? (Be
specific!)
For a full listing of events planned as a part of
National Historic Preservation Week, see the

Drug law
continued from page 1
marijuana laws too far.
Sen. Vicki Walker, D-Eugene, ve
hemently opposed the bill in the Ju
diciary Committee and on the Sen
ate floor. Walker, who sits on the
Judiciary Committee, said the bill is
aimed to target high school students
who “are coming to class stoned,”
but that the application of the bill
beyond the age of 18 makes it faulty.
“I think it’s a stupid bill,” she said.
“I just don’t get it. There are no 21
year-old high school students that I
know of.”
Walker said the bill would also
unnecessarily target high school
students who want to go to college
but can’t get financial aid because
of the violation they would receive
from consumption.
“Nobody seemed to care that this
impacts financial aid,” she added.
Craig Prins, counsel for the Judi
ciary Committee, said people such
as school officials would have to be
a witness to the alleged consump
tion and the police would then have
to determine whether enough prob
able cause existed for a citation.
“This has been the law for a long
time with minor in possession (of al
cohol),” he said.
Prins said police departments have
officers with special training to detect
the influence of drug, but that they
are traditionally assigned to traffic.
No other members of the Judicia
ry Committee, who passed the bill
to the floor, were available for com
ment as of press time. Lobbyist Bri
an Delashmutt, who supported the
bill, could not be reached.
The bill has already caught the
eye of some police departments in
Oregon, however.
Eugene Police Department
spokeswoman Kerry Delf said EPD
is supporting the bill, although it’s
not a high-priority bill.
“This bill would simply provide
law enforcement with another tool
to deal with drug users,” she said.
Delf said the bill would also “level
the playing field” when officers con
tact a group of suspect drug users,
especially if they all had been using
drugs but only one member was ac
tually carrying them.
According to fiscal analysis of the
new bill, the amount of revenue that
could be raised with the new law is
unclear because offenders often pay
less than the maximum amount for
a violation.
“This measure could result in
new citations being filed, or could
result in an additional charge being
added to cases that are now cited
under another applicable statute,
such as minor in possession of alco
hol,” the analysis said. “To the ex
tent that this bill results in the filing
of new cases, there could be an im
pact on court operations associated
with the judge and staff time re
quired to process new cases.”
The bill will now go to the Oregon
House for further consideration.

ASL
continued from page 1
making such a decision.
Organizers of Celebrating Deaf
Culture, an event planned for Thurs
day to raise awareness of a deaf cul
ture on campus, want to prove that
ASL is a language and needs to be
recognized as such.
“It’s hard for me to understand
why ASL is not accepted as a second
language,” Hurst said. “I worked re
ally hard to get where lam — noth
ing is going to stop me.”
In May, Hurst was granted a waiv
er on her language requirement for
her University degree. Instead of two
years of a foreign language, she only
needs to take two ASL courses to
complete her four-year degree. How
ever, if she transfers to another
school or attends graduate school,
the requirement will go unfulfilled.
“ASL is being more and more
used,” she said. “Kids can sign before
they can speak.”
Hurst has been losing her hearing
for seven years after having a tumor re
moved from her right ear. She has
been using hearing aids for almost
three years and is losing 10 percent to
15 percent ofher hearing every year.
“Even if you have a disability, you
can still get things accomplished,”
Hurst said. “Celebrating Deaf Cul
ture is about being visible to the
community and each other.”
Sariantra Kali, an event organizer
and a post-baccalaureate student,
said she has heard different reasons
for ASL going unrecognized, but all

are unsubstantiated.
“I’ve heard students say that mem
bers of the foreign language depart
ment have said that American Sign
Language is not a language,” Kali said,
adding that other reasons include that
ASL does not have a written history,
that there is no deaf culture, and that
ASL is “just English on the hands.”
According to a 2002 Emerald arti
cle, the ASUO Student Senate passed a
resolution in March 2002 recognizing
ASL as a foreign language, but only the
Undeigraduate Council has the power
to make that decision and officially
recognize ASL as a foreign language.
According to council minutes, while
the issue was discussed extensively
during the 2001-02 school year, it has
n’t been brought up since October.
Council member and Vice
Provost of Undergraduate Studies
Karen Sprague said the 2001-02 ac
ademic year ended before council
members had a chance to complete
their discussions.
“It will ultimately get picked up, but
not this year,” Sprague said, adding
that ASL cannot be addressed sepa
rately from discussions about the en
tire foreign language requirement,
which will probably be considered
sometime next year. The council will
discuss its goals for an improved for
eign language program and whether
ASL can be a part of it, Sprague said.
Kali and Hurst said they hope a deci
sion can be made as soon as possible.
Kali has obtained more than 1,000sig
natures for a petition that will be sent
to the Undergraduate Council and
President Dave Frohnmayer.
“This language has syntax and
structure — it is a language, and it
should be recognized,” Hurst said.
