COMMONS continued from page 1 EPD officers also received a report of several shots fired at the University Commons on March 23 at 12:22 a.m. Delf said that officers arrived at the scene one minute later and found more than a dozen spent 40-caliber bullet casings in apartment 27 of building C. Delf added that officers believed the tenants had been partying when the shots were fired, but had departed prior to the officers' arrival. EPD has no suspects and does not know if anyone was injured during the incident, Delf said. In addition to these two incidents, several other events took place at the University Commons during the break. EPD made at least three arrests at the complex and received one report of a dispute. EPD also received reports of three burglaries and one suicidal person. Although Gilfoy refused to com ment, he told TTie Register-Guard on March 26 that he is beefing up security at the complex by sta tioning officers seven nights a week. He also said that he has taken steps to evict the tenant living in the apartment where the shots were fired be cause violent in cidents had occurred at that apartment in the past. According to the police call log, a young man was stabbed in that same apartment on Dec. 17,2003. Delf said Phillip Alan Stiggins, 20, was arrested for first degree assault for the stabbing. A representative of the Lane County Circuit Court said Stiggins was con victed on one count of third degree as sault on Feb. 6 and received a sen tence of 18 months in jail, two years of probation and fines. Delf said that a certain "element" seems to be moving into the complex and is involved in a more serious level of crime. "It used to be that we looked at (the University Commons) as a place where students live," she said. "It's not just students anymore." She added that "not all of the prob lems may be coming from students," but said that they do cause their share of problems. Delf said anyone with information regarding the stabbing or shots fired should call EPD at 682-5111. Contact tire crime/health/safety reporter at lisacatto@dailyemerald.com. BUSINESS continued from page 1 2003. Miller said opening the store wasn't a difficult process because of her previous business experience. "Having the experience in manag ing The Paper Garden and working for the greatest boss in the world real ly encouraged me to pursue my own interests," Miller said. "She always en couraged us to be creative, and she was just the most supportive and pos itive person." Miller helped owner Judy Murphy manage the store for several years. "She was pretty much absent from the store for a good year and a half," Miller said. "I had full reign, and she trusted me entirely with her business." Mathews also found a mentor in another female business owner. Dur ing the past few years, she worked with Meera Willis at a shoe store called Miss Meers. "1 started working on my business plan in March of last year," Mathews said. "I had been working at Miss Meers and I just saw a niche in the market that needed to be filled and (Willis) encouraged me. She's a great mentor." Originally, Mathews was going to open her business alone, but when she was introduced to Bridges, the two realized they were both attempt ing to open the same type of store. Mathews was an advertising major at the University, and Bridges studied multimedia graphic design at The Portland Art Institute. "I can't say being a business major is an advantage or disadvantage," Math ews said. "No matter what your major is, the next step is going to be new, and you're going to be learning from it." Dagua Web owns Deluxe, a men and women's vintage fashion store that opened in April 2003 and has gained a "strong following" of cus tomers, Web said. Web said she found a gap between age and business technique. "People kept telling me to try these business plans, which I felt were really old-fashioned and complex," Web said. "I didn't need some complex business plan — 1 had a straight-for ward idea about what I wanted to do. People would tell me that I couldn't do what I was doing without doing market research first, but I really did n't need that, I knew Eugene." Mathews said she and Bridges have received a large amount of support. "In this day and age it's not such a shock to see women owning busi- „ nesses anymore; I think we've gotten a little bit braver," Bridges said. "Hav ing a dream and realizing it can hap pen is pretty amazing." Bridges and Mathews said they are optimistic and ambitious about the future of their business, which is lo cated at 295 E. Fifth Ave. "We want to open another store in six months to a year," Bridges said. "Possi bly continuing that trend and opening up a small chain of these stores. * Contact the business/science/ technology reporter at stevenneuman@dailyemerald.com.
