Health care panel
to discuss insurance
A panel discussion concerning
health care cutbacks, entitled
“Health Care Reform, Possible Solu
tions” will take place tonight at 6:30
p.m. in the EMU Fir Room. Admis
sion is free and participation in the
discussion is encouraged.
The event is sponsored by a vari
ety of organizations and University
departments including Health Care
for All and the ASUO.
Panelists include Dr. Stuart
Greenleaf, a licensed acupuncturist,
Dr. Mary Ann Holser and state Sen.
Bill Morrisette. There will also be a
taped presentation by presidential
candidate Dennis Kucinich, in which
he discusses his support for single
payer health plans.
The panel will be the first of a se
ries of discussions and community
education meetings on the crisis of
health care for people without
insurance.
It’s estimated that 60 million to 80
million people do not have health in
surance and 25 percent to 30 per
cent of people are uninsured or have
limited care due to cutbacks in the
Oregon Health Plan, according to a
press release from Health Care for
All. The discussion is also geared to
ward students who may be losing
coverage from their parents’ plan
upon graduation.

Political Science Assistant Profes
sor Adjunct Michael Rooke-Ley
shows “great care for those enrolled
in his classes.”
“He has shown a mastery of the
material covered in class and an in
credible ability to instill an interest in
all students,” another student said.
GTF finalists
Chemistry GTF Dima E. Azar is
“amazing.”
“She genuinely cares about what
we need, our grades and how well we
do,” a student wrote. “She goes the
extra mile for us and is always fair.”
English GTF James Duncan is
“hard-working.”
“He offers insightful advice on
anything from paper-writing to grad
school to personal problems,” an

“We have brought you a collec
tion of adventures — not adventures
you can watch on TV, but personal
adventures you can read,” Nadler
said to the children.
While many of the more popular
books disappeared fast, 10-year-old
Bryon Fleming and 12-year-old Jessi
ca Kissell, both fifth-graders, found
something they were interested in to
ward the end of the spree. Bryon, who
said this would be his fourth book,
picked “Medical Mysteries: Six Dead
ly Cases,” because he enjoys mystery
stories, and Jessica picked “Escape
from Warsaw” because she studied
World War II in class.
“I’ve never really read books like
this — I’m usually into fantasies,”
she said.
Patterson Principal Stella Dadson
said it was meaningful for the children
to have college students give them
gifts and make them realize that col
lege is an option in the future.
“Reading opens the door to other
possibilities,” she said. “When we
can get kids to read ... it means we
are extending their world.”
Mortar Board is a national honor
society for seniors that participates in
activities that teach scholarship, lead
ership and service. This year alone,
members participated for Food for
Lane County and the Start Making A
Reader Today program — but most
students have only heard of the socie
ty in context with the popular Univer
sity planners, which the group cre
ates, produces and sells.
“That’s a common misconcep
tion,” said Justin Zuiker, president
of the University chapter of Mortar
Board. “There are many members
in this society who participate in
campus and community activities
such as this.”

source of positivity.”
Psychology GTF George M.
Slavich, who drew the most nomi
nations, is a “leader in the field of
teaching.”
“George has a unique ability to in
tegrate complex theories and con
cepts with real-life scenarios in such
a way that he provides plenty of detail
in the most simplified manner possi
ble,” a student said.
Psychology GTF Charles U. Tate
incorporates “everything from music
and dance to props and humorous
lecture slides into his teaching style.”
“I was terrified that I had to take
Statistical Methods,” another student
said. “Chuck teaches Stats, and I
can’t imagine a better instructor.”
Exercise and Movement Science
GTF Britta N. Torgrimson does
“everything she possibly can” in labs.
“In both classes, she even gave
her lab section students her home
phone number the weekend before
the final exams! ” a student wrote.
