Student Senate dishes out
more surplus funds
The ASUO Student Senate ap
proved several special funding re
quests from student groups during an
unusually long session Wednesday
night in the EMU Gumwood Room.
The requests came as the Senate con
tinues to allocate an $80,647 surplus.
The Senate voted 10-1-6 to grant
the Students for Choice $3,222 to
travel to the March for Women's
Lives in Washington, D.C. The group
will send 17 representatives to the
April 25 event.
The Multicultural Center received
$3,200 to help bring four national
ly acclaimed speakers to the Univer
sity on April 6 and 13. The free
events will be part of the center's on
going workshop series. The motion
passed 15-1-1.
The Senate unanimously ap
proved funds for the African Student
Association's cultural night. The
group received $1,000 to rent the
EMU Ballroom for the April 23 per
formance and fashion show.
At the special request of ASLIO
Vice President Eddy Morales, the
Student Affiliates of the American
Chemical Society presented a re
quest for $600 to attend the society's
national meeting. The Senate unani
mously approved the motion.
The Senate also voted unanimously
to allot $300 to the University chap
ter of the Public Relations Student So
ciety of America to allow the group to
attend a regional workshop. The Black
Student Union's request to transfer
$250 into its food account was unani
mously approved as well.
The Hong Kong Student Association
was not present to make its request.
The Senate approved $3,566,089
for the 2004-05 EMU Board's budget
in a 10-1-6 vote, disregarding an
ASUO Executive recommendation
to allot $120,000 of the reserves in
cluded in the budget to the Child
Care and Development Centers. The
EMU Board's budget is a 4.66 per
cent increase from last year. The Sen
ate also appointed Sen. Bethany Lar
son to the Senate Rules Committee.
Larson replaced Sen. Colin Andries,
who resigned this week because of
other time commitments.
Senate President Ben Strawn also
discussed the possibility of using re
maining surplus funds to reduce
next year's incidental fees. The Sen
ate will rule on the idea during its
first spring term session.

Student pleads innocent
in bomb threat case
James Gregory Evangelista, a grad
uate student studying special educa
tion, pleaded innocent Wednesday
in Lane County Circuit Court to
charges of menacing, harassment
and disorderly conduct.
Eugene Police Department offi
cers arrested 46-year-old Evangelista
Feb. 25. Police allege he phoned in a
bomb threat to the Knight Library
from the University Bookstore, re
sulting in the evacuation and hour
long search of the building.
EPD obtained bookstore surveil
lance footage of Evangelista on the
phone at the time of the call, EPD
spokeswoman Kerry Delf said.
In a Feb. 27 e-mail to the Emerald,
which was confirmed by phone,
Evangelista wrote, "It doesn't take
much to acknowledge and recognize
that calling in a bomb threat to any
public or private concern is the act of
a desperately burdened mind.
"In hindsight, I could never have
planned or imagined committing
such a reckless act, particularly in
this day of threats of fear mongering
and terror," he added. "... I can only
offer that during the last few
months ... my personal and aca
demic life was seriously compro
mised by my prolonged abuse of
ephedra, an over-the-counter stim
ulant ... The tragic consequences of
losing grasp on my reality due to the
buildup of this drug in my system
and my poor judgment and choice
making are only now unfolding for
me," he said.
Evangelista is scheduled to appear
in circuit court on April 14 at 3:30
p.m. for a pre-trial conference.

CHOIR
continued from page 1
concert choir once each term to prac
tice for Wednesday's event. During
these practices, high school students
were positioned between college stu
dents on stage to encourage the min
gling of talents and skills. Each choir
practiced the music at least three
times a week separately, so the meet
ings were meant specifically to fine
tune details and form a working team.
"It's nice to have a combined mass
choir," elementary education major
AmyTai said. 'This forces us to adapt."
The merging of age groups also al
lowed college students to serve as
mentors to the high school commu
nities. Although time to converse was
minimal according to some high
school students, many took the time
they had to ask questions about mu
sic and college life.
"It helped them ask these questions
in a comfortable setting," political sci
ence major Beth Overgard said.
Many of the choir members said
they felt an overall sense of satisfaction
from serving as role models for the high
school students.
"Knowing that I have something to
offer and give it freely is a wonderful
feeling," music education major
Nicole McMahon said.

sue music further in college, many
participated for recreational purposes.
"It's not very practical to major in
music and to make a profession out
of it," Thurston senior Sheila Whit
tington said.
Whittington said she plans to at
tend the Culinary Institute of Port
land, but added that she will contin
ue to sing recreationally.

THE CROSSWORD
Assistant Professor of Choral Music
Education Shannon M. Chase said she
initiated the program with Thurston
High School Choir director Mark
Huisenga and Springfield High School
Choir director Stacy Swartout with the
intent of perpetuating musical and so
cial communication between college
and high school students.
In an anonymous survey Chase gave
the students, one high school student
said if nothing else, the partnership
helped the student meet new people
and reunite with old friends who al
ready graduated.
"The power of music seems multi
plied with so many voices behind it,"
another student wrote in the survey.
Chase went to both high schools to
work with the students on techniques.
She said she sees a future for the part
nership program where the high
schools will continue to meet for spe
cial events such as Wednesday's.
"The value this program is clearly
there," she said.
