ARENA
continued from page 1
continually re-evaluating the project,
but hit a wall about three weeks ago.
They had hoped to find other sources
of funding, yet found it was not feasi
ble. However, Howe Field remains the
preferred site for the arena.
Moos said he is not worried that
others will frown on the University
because of the decision. The Universi
ty has one of the foremost programs
in facility expansion across the na
tion, and Moos said he remains
proud of the facilities already in place.
"Basketball is the one piece that is
still missing as far as facilities," Moos
said. "The majority of my attention is
going to be focused on that Everything
else I feel is in good shape."
Moos said that Oregon men's head
coach Ernie Kent was "obviously dis
appointed" at the decision, but he
said he doesn't expect the postpone
ment to negatively affect recruitment.
"I'm hoping that we can keep our en
ergy alive and resurrect the project
hopefully in the near future, put togeth
er a renewed funding model and go for
ward down the road," Moos said.
Williams said the decision boiled
down to the University's inability to
build the arena it envisioned, adding
that the facility may need to be down
sized at some point.
"There's no villain in this,"
Williams said. "There's no one piece
that you can point to, (and) if that
had been different, we could have
built it."

PPPM

She said an example of how her
work has made a difference is noted
in a study she conducted of hospital
performance. The study showed that
when hospital performance is made
public, hospitals are motivated to im
prove. She said others felt the publici
ty was absent before the study.
"We were able to show that, yes, it
did make a difference," she said.
She said publication impart means
University faculty are well-known in
their field, which reflects on the de
partment and University as a whole.
"We're helping shape the policy
and direction of our fields," she said.
Hibbard said it also means students
have highly qualified professors.
"They're studying with some of the
leading figures in the field," he said.
Assistant Professor Rich Margerum
said the recognition also helps recruit
students and faculty, as well as raise
funds for the department.
"Alumni want to contribute to programs
that are successful," he said.
Margerum is ranked in the study's top
50, along with Professor Jean Stockard.
Margerum said the study shows
that students are receiving "cutting
edge" education from faculty.
"They're kind of getting the latest
findings and information," he said.
Margerum said the department
generally attracts motivated students
who want to make a difference and
who discover the area after studying
other subjects.
"A lot of them get there in kind of a
round-about way," he said.
Junior Zak Bennett said he joined
the department in the fall after trans
ferring to the University as an unde
clared major. "I've wanted to be a city
planner for years," he said. "It's an op
portunity to help a lot of people."
He said the department was the
right fit for his career choice.
"It's definitely the right step for
what I'm looking to do," he said.

COALITION
continued from page 1
Earl emphasized that the resolution
in no way implies a criticism of the
University's athletics practices, which
he called "exemplary."
COIA, which was formed by faculty
at 12 schools from six athletic confer
ences, is attacking athletics reform
with a comprehensive approach and
has gained encouragement from
NCAA President Miles Brand and
even athletics directors, Earl said.
"(Athletics directors) are as eager as
everyone else to put some limit on
commercialization," he said.
Consternation emerged at the
meeting regarding specifics of COLA's
framework, which the University In
tercollegiate Athletic Committee op
posed endorsing.
Journalism Assistant Professor Kim
Sheehan said that while LAC supports
a greater voice for faculty in intercol
legiate athletics, there is a "lack of re
ally understanding what in the long
term the framework will do."
She said the framework includes "tac
tics that would be impossible to imple
ment (that are) in violation of current
NCAA regulations and would be unfair
to schools on the quarter system."
"The basic goals here are very, very
good," LAC Chairman and mathemat
ics Professor Brad Shelton said. It's the
specific things in there that make us
want to back off."
Earl said the framework would not
tie the University's hands.
"There is nothing in the resolution
obligatory to the University," he said.
"This adoption of this framework
does not oblige us to do anything."
A University volleyball player said
the notion that college athletes are ex
ploited is overblown.
"We don't feel like we're being ex
ploited," junior Lauren Westendorf
said. "We couldn't be happier with
the experience that we're having."
Mathematics Assistant Professor Dev
Sinha argued that the resolution won't
necessarily change University practices.
"There should be tangible out
comes," he said.
University President DaveFrohnmayer
opened the meeting with an address to the
Senate in which he announced that
Measure 30's failure will have conse
quences less dire to the University than
originally anticipated. He said the Uni
versity will have to cut only $881,000
rather than $2.5 million.
The Senate also passed a resolu
tion urging changes to the Student
Records Policy. The changes would
require Melinda Grier, general coun
sel to the University, to determine
that a subpoena is valid before re
leasing student records and require
the University to better educate fac
ulty on the records policy.

VIOLATIONS
continued from page 3
after the war.
The Afghanistan conflict ended
more than a year ago, Roth said, yet
many Taliban members are still being
held at Guantanamo Bay.
The next major violation that
Roth focused on was the use of
military tribunals.
"Military tribunals allow for con
viction by secret evidence, no
client-attorney privilege, and no
appeal to a civilian court," he said.
"Your only appeal option is to (Sec
retary of Defense Donald) Rumsfeld."
Next on Roth's list was the designa
tion of "enemy combatants." This
loophole allows the government to
jail U.S. citizens with no charge, no ev
idence and no right to an attorney un
til the War on Terrorism is over.
Roth, who said he recently had the
chance to talk to Attorney General
John Ashcroft about this designation,
was essentially told, "Don't worry
about it; we've only used it twice"
Next, Roth hit on how after Sept.
11, numerous immigrants were ar
rested for visa violations and de
tained without the privilege of attor
ney until the FBI cleared them.
Roth rounded out his list with vio
lations in Iraq. The United States
committed atrocities when it was
trying to find Saddam Hussein, he
said. U.S. bombing raids, more
than 50 total, caused numerous
civilian casualties, he said.
Roth closed by saying other gov
ernments have picked up on the
"we're fighting terror" excuse to con
duct their own human right viola
tions under the cloak of putting
down dangerous rebellions.
"This lack of peaceful political alter
natives leads to terrorism," Roth said.
"We're making al-Qaida's job of recruit
ing easier because of all the frustration
and resentment we're breeding. If hu
man rights is the problem and not the
solution, I fear our battle with terrorism
will fail."
