Reed Gaddy said.
People can register for the work
shop at the Women's Center; the reg
istration deadline is Oct. 8 and the
cost is $ 10 for University students and
$75 for community members.
Women's Center Director Lisa
Foisy said passions can include any
thing from public speaking and visual
arts to special abilities that can be
used to help other people.
"You can take life experiences that
may have been challenging and turn
them into your gift of what you're
able to give back," she said.
Participants in the workshop will
use the tools of drawing, physical
movement and journal writing to ex
plore how they can better incorporate
their passions, whatever they may be,
more completely into their lives. Par
ticipants will also meet new people
and leam to develop a sense of com
munity, Foisy said.
Foisy said the workshop will also
focus on connecting participants' in
tellectual lives at the University with
the emotional and physical aspects of
their lives through such exercises as
yoga and improvisational theater.
"It's increasing our awareness of
what's already going on in our body,
thus giving our intellect more re
sources to work with," she said,
adding that the University lades re
sources for combining these aspects.
“The University does have a value of
intellectual knowledge over emotional
and physical knowledge," she said.
She said people can also attempt
to find ways to deal with problems
by altering how those problems are
perceived.
"That can shift your attitude and
perspective ... sometimes that's what
it's all about," she said.
Foisy said students often feel unen
thusiastic about their classes or their
majors, but through the workshop

cratic presidential nomination.
However, sophomore Ethan Firpo,
the vice chairman of Generation
Dean, doesn't think the University
lives up to its reputation.
"I think UO's reputation as a po
litically active campus is a little bit
hyped," Firpo said. "I think we get
a lot of run-off from the town of
Eugene."
College Republicans Chairman
Jarrett White said the level of politi
cal activism on campus depends on
the situation.
"It seems as though something re
ally has to go down to get people in
an uproar," White said. "When
there's not much news going on, it's
pretty dead."
While some think the University's
reputation as a politically active
campus is overrated, the University
boasts political groups such as the
College Republicans, College De
mocrats, Campus Greens, Genera
tion Dean and OSPIRG, which all
keep a presence on campus.
Publications such as the Oregon
Commentator and Student Insur
gent provide another format for stu
dents' opinions.
While many avenues stand ready
for students' political input, White
says that "politically active" doesn't
necessarily mean accepting differ
ent viewpoints.
"We're pretty much the only haven
for conservative students on cam
pus," White said, adding that many
students come to the College Repub
licans to fight what they see as left
wing bias in the classroom.
"Any kind of conservative view
point you put forth in the classroom
just gets thrashed on by students,"
White said.
White said he has seen conserva
tive students treated unfairly by in
structors. One time, after advocating
for drilling in Alaska, "The teacher
looked at me like I was some kind of
weirdo," White said.
But not all Republican students
feel threatened at the University.
Jones said he felt his views were wel
come on campus.
"It's healthy conversation," Jones
said. "I don't feel like I'm attacked
when I express my views."
Regardless of political affiliation, it
seems that students will continue to
fight for their causes on campus.
"We're trying to get people age 18
to 25 interested in politics again,"
Firpo said.

been vital to ensuring a healthy cam
pus network, even if it poses a tempo
rary inconvenience to users.
"We try to get accounts back on
line as soon as possible," he said.
"Overall, it's a pretty painless
process."
Miyake said reactivating an ac
count takes less than 30 minutes on
average, thanks to the Computing
Center's easy-to-use security CD.
"It's very effective for users who
are trying to clean up their ma
chines," he said.
Having encountered a plethora of
viruses in campus accounts, Miyake
said students and faculty can turn to
Computer Support Services or ResNet
for information on how to cope with
a disabled account and obtain a secu
rity CD. Albrich, who manages the
full-time Computing Center help
desk located at 151 Mckenzie Hall,
said he and his coworkers are another
great resource for information about
the most current viruses and how to
avoid them.
Amid the frustration and confu
sion of not having access to their ac
counts, some students have gone to
the CC-EMU computer lab for ad
vice or to obtain a security CD. Al
though they would love to help, all
the lab employees can do is send in
fected account holders to the Com
puting Center.
"We get a lot of calls and students
who come in asking for help," lab as
sistant Lizette Crow said.
Crow's advice to students who
encounter initial access problems is
to double-check their information
before jumping to conclusions.
"Most of the time, students don't
have the correct user name and pass
word, and they just think it's a
worm," she said.
