with legal issues.
"Since we are only in our first year,
we are deciding what we want to be
like to distinguish ourselves," Som
mers said. "Ultimately, we want to
act as a clearinghouse where all of
the students can go through us for
their community service needs."
For Public Service Day, several
students volunteered to chop dis
carded fruits and vegetables to make
compost for the Northwest Youth
Corps' organic garden. The food
grown in the garden is used to feed
NWYC members who camp while
performing outdoor projects across
the Northwest. Another group of
law students volunteered at Cas
cades Raptor Center, a nature center
and wildlife hospital located at
Spencer Butte.
"Having the law students here is a
huge help," said Laurin Coggins, as
sistant director of the Cascades Rap
tor Center. "We have a volunteer
staff organization, so we get a lot
done when we have extra help."
Volunteers spent Saturday morn

Third-year law student and PIPS

"It is important for us to connect

Teen Center Volunteer Coordinator
Toby Winn said he was pleased with
the turnout.
"We were only planning on get
ting four volunteers, but a lot more
came and we were able to get more
done than I thought we could,"
Winn said. "We usually only have
volunteers like this only a few times
a year."
The law school also offers a Pub
lic Interest and Public Service Law
Certificate upon graduation. To earn
the certificate, law students must
take five public interest classes from
three different blocks and complete
100 hours of pro bono work.
For the third year in a row, the
School of Law has won the Oregon
State Bar Pro Bono Challenge for be
ing the law school that reported the
most law student pro bono hours in
the state. Since the inception of
PIPS, the number of pro bono hours
by University lav/ students has in
creased from 4,680 to 11,214.
"Doing pro bono work is a really
rewarding experience ... but I really
would like to get paid someday,"
second-year law student Danny
Reynolds said.

Some of the workshops on Sun
day included women and smoking;
introduction to meditation; social
consciousness in the music world;
making jewelry out of junk; belly
dancing and Krav Maga, a form of Is
raeli self-defense.
Junior Hannah Caron went to the
festival on both Saturday and Sunday
and said she enjoyed all the work
shops she attended. Her favorite was
the jewelry workshop where she
made a necklace and an arm band
from found objects.
"I have had an awesome time here,"
she said. "There are so many cool activ
ities going on. I've learned something at
each workshop I've been to."
However, Caron said she would
have liked to see more people attend
the festival.
"It boggles my mind why the
turnout is so low," she said.
The festival concluded on Sunday
with an award banquet in the EMU
Ballroom. Comedian Jessi Knapp
performed a tribute show to other
famous female comedians. The
three women who received awards
for their outstanding work for other
women were self-defense teacher
Telsey, cartoonist Jan Elliot and may
oral candidate Kitty Piercy.
Faris said she has high hopes for
the Venus Festival in years to come.
"It's such a great event," she said. -
"It's going to be the biggest event on
campus in ten years. That's my goal."
