Environmental issues
focus of symposium
The Sustainable Business
Symposium will begin today
with the goal of discussing
ethical business issues
By Caron Alarab
News Reporter
The Northwest's longest-run
ning sustainability conference is
being held in the newest facility on
campus this weekend. The 2003
Sustainable Business Symposium
kicks off its seventh annual confer
ence today in the Lillis Business
Complex to educate the communi
ty about current business issues.
"Our goal is to inspire people to
get involved in conversations about
sustainability in business," coordi
nator and graduate student Keelan
Morse-McPhee said.
Titled "Who's Profiting and
flow," the symposium aims to pro
mote ethical and environmentally
friendly business practices. It will
feature various panels and keynote
speakers, including a Friday-night
debate titled "Global vs. Local,"
which coordinators say should be
the highlight of the weekend.
"Hopefully it will draw a big
crowd," Morse-McPhee said. "It will
be a pretty lively debate."
A board of student volunteers
from the Environmental Studies
program, the masters in business
administration program and the
Department of Planning Public Pol
icy and Management planned the
symposium for about a year.
"The board consists of a very di
verse group of people, which makes
things interesting and challenging,"
Morse-McPhee said. "But we defi
nitely will have a better symposium
because of it."
The symposium will have four
main keynote speakers from various
companies and organizations. In
formation about the speakers can be
found at www.uoregon.edu/~sbs.
On Friday evening, the "Global
vs. Local" debate will feature the
opinions of Jack Roberts and
Michael Shuman, two men with dif
ferent business perspectives.
Roberts, a University graduate, is
the executive director for Lane Metro
Partnership, an organization that
helps create new job opportunities
for Eugenians and ensure a more di
verse and stable economy. As direc
tor, Roberts promotes economic de
velopment efforts throughout Lane
County and focusses on business in
vestment through recruitment, re
tention and expansion, according to
the symposium Web Site.
Shuman, a Stanford-trained at
torney, is director of the Green

'$8,000
mistake'
The ASUO created a
committee to look at pay
raises and a discrepancy
at Wednesday's meeting
By Chuck Slothower
News Reporter
The ASUO Student Senate debated
their own pay and approved several
special requests from student groups
at their meeting Wednesday night.
The twelve newly elected senators
say they were promised a $175-per
month stipend but are receiving only
$125.
"If in the real world you make an
$8,000 mistake, don't show up to
work the next day because you're
fired," Sen. Adrian Gilmore said. "To
me, it's a non-forgivable mistake."
Shortly before calling executive ses
sion, the senate debated how to rectify
the situation, whether by a special re
quest, a resolution or other measure.
But many senators expressed concern
that raising their own pay would gen
erate a negative perception of the stu
dent senate.
"The fact that we would have
(raised our stipend) could have creat
ed speculation about our motives for
doing so," Senate President Ben
Strawn said.
Senators also expressed concern
that the senate would sacrifice equal
pay if they raised the salaries of just
the 12 newly elected senators.
"I think it's a bad idea to have some
senators making more than other sen
ators," Sen. Kevin Curtin said.
After a lengthy executive session, the
senate reopened the meeting and creat
ed a five-member ad hoc committee to
study the issue. The committee will re
port back to the full student senate at a
special meeting Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m.
In committee updates, Sen. Kevin
Day relayed student concerns regard
ing the rapid sellout of Civil War foot
ball tickets Tuesday. Day said many
students hold the erroneous belief*
that tickets must be distributed over
two days.
"Demand was so high yesterday,
that it was the first time that tickets
went out in one day," Day said. He
added that an upgraded computer
system helped the ticket offices sell
out faster than ever before.
