NO CALL
continued from page 1
The FTC has since appealed the ruling and is
asking for a stay of the decision. The Federal
Communications Commission, on the other
hand, stated it will begin fining telemarketing
companies that call citizens on the list after Oct.
1. The FCC said the court rulings did not in
fringe on its right to enforce the list.
Local reactions to the rulings have been mixed.
Eugene resident and former telemarketer
Sandra Wade-Erickson said her occupation was
"one job 1 wouldn't wish on my worst enemy."
She signed up on the national list and strongly
supported its implementation, saying she hates
to be constantly "harassed."
She also said she felt the most recent deci
sion calling the list a free speech violation had
no bearing.
"As far as a violation of a freedom of speech,
to me it's more like it's an infringement of
somebody's right to work," she said. "As far as
freedom of speech, I don't think so."
But University freshman Lane Jacobs said he
thought the rulings were unimportant because
everybody he knows hangs up when they get
calls from solicitors anyway.
"If they don't want to deal with (telemar
keters); they are just going to hang up," he said.
Ihis summer, Oregon experienced a crippling
blow to its own do-not-call list. On Aug. 28, Ore
gon Attorney General 1 lardy Myers declared the
state list would be terminated as of Oct. 1 and
urged Oregonians to register on the federal list
according to a press release from his office
Kevin Neely, a spokesman for Myers' office,
said the state list was voided because the state re
fused to share the names on its list with the FTC
and the FCC. Of the 180,000 Oregonians who
paid $6.50 each to get on the state list, about
3,000 did not benefit from it before it was dis
continued, and it appears that refunds will not be
disbursed. Neely said his office is still working to
secure refunds for the registrants, however.
Myers' office is not sure what will happen
next to the future of the lists.
'The only thing that I can tell you that is certain
is that the Oregon Department of Justice has be
gun discussions with our administration to get
(Oregon's do-not-call list) off the ground," he said.
"There are a lot of balls up in the air. At this
point they may all be caught, or they may all hit
the ground."

BOOKSTORE

reimburses them.
Williams said the students will get required
textbooks worth up to $400; the store will use
student schedules to determine which books
are required.
"It was a complete surprise," Hanselman
said, looking a bit dazed. "(I felt) a little bit of
embarrassment but a good kind not like I just
messed up."
Hanselman, who is taking 14 credits this
term, added that she thought the book give
away was an excellent idea.
"Obviously it's going to save me a lot of mon
ey," she said, adding that she'll use the money
to pay for other school-related expenses. "It's go
ing to reduce the stress you feel as a student."
Aside from Hanselman, four other stu
dents also received free books on Monday.
The bookstore is scheduled to give out books
to five students today and three more on
Tuesday. The bookstore Board of Directors
proposed the idea in recognition of financial
hardships students are facing under current
economic conditions, according to a book
store press release.
'The board — students, classified staff and
faculty — were very much hearing the great
need for students out there," the bookstore's
Chief Financial Officer Rhonda Stoltz said.
"Students and parents have been hit hard (by
financial circumstances)."
The amount of money spent on books by
each student varies considerably according to
majors, Williams said. While only a few stu
dents will walk away with their books com
pletely free, the bookstore gives a 10 percent
discount on new and used textbooks to all
students. He said the bookstore is one of the
few in the country to offer this type of dis
count. The store also tries to cut student ex
penses by offering used books.
"We want students to know that we care,"
Williams said. He added that the bookstore's
main aim is not to make a profit off of course
bools. He said that the bookstore works hard
to ensure that students have their required
books when they arrive for school each term.
"We're here to be a partner in education,"
he said.
In the last year, the 10 percent discounts
amounted to $1,025,500 in savings.

dodging whatever is thrown your way.
The outcome Is in your favor.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) _ Today is
a 6 _ Keep most of what you're think
ing to yourself while you assess the
situation. A loved one can help you
make the best choices by telling you
what wont work.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) _ Today is
a 9 _ You'll continue to be most suc
cessful with actions instead of words.
Try not to get frustrated. It's good for
you to practice.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) _ Today
is a 6 _ Although it may seem as if
your progress is stalled, that's not the
case. As you develop your skills,
you'll find new ways to employ your
growing talents.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is an
8 _ Initial confusion gives way as the

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) _ Today is
an 8 _ Amazingly, you're starting to
learn what you need to do in order to

that's partially because you've also
got a tailwind.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today
is a 6 _ You may feel stuck between a
rock and a hard place. The more you
clean up your surroundings, the more
you’ll ease your mind.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _
Today is an 8 _ Delete some of this

on, but wait until asked before mak
ing comments.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) _ Today

ing, this could be a lovely day. Try not

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today
is a 5 _ Best keep a lid on your
enthusiasm for a while, at least until
you see how the wind blows. Make a
list of all the reasons why you can't
achieve a dream. Then, start crossing
them off.
