PRO BONO continued from page 1 help responding to complaints from Oregon prisoners. Last summer, she took on a project on behalf of the prison ers at the Jackson County Jail. She said the prisoners com plained of overcrowding and wanted to have their own beds so they would not have to sleep on the floor, Drescher said. Within weeks of begin ning to work on the lawsuit with the ACLU, the jail settled and got enough beds for all of the prisoners. Drescher said she enjoys do ing civil rights work and wants to continue with that after grad uation. "I'm always going to continue doing pro bono," she said, adding that it has contributed to her law school and life experience. Steckbeck said that students such as Drescher usually contin ue doing pro bono work after leaving college. "Once they start doing it, it feels really good," Steckbeck said. In addition to pro bono work for local organizations, many students earn pro bono hours by participating in the Street Law program, which returned after a hiatus in the fall of2002. The program has law students teach classes on various topics to the Eugene community, such as a "first time renter" course for undergraduates and a search and seizure course for middle- and high-school students. Next year, the Street Law program hopes to add a course on how to buy a used car and another on gay and lesbian le gal issues. Another large portion of the 11,214 pro bono hours are at tributed to the peer court sys tem, which has law students act as judges and assistants in a peer court at several high schools in the Eugene area.

PSST continued from page 1 fliers, some of which were posted on doors and windows in the hallway between the LGBTQA and the Black Student Union. He said he didn't know how long the fliers had been there. "We decided not to go for a grievance because basically it just creates a bunch of hassle and ex tra paperwork," Hardy said. "At this point, al though I was just walking in the multicultural hall, and I did see some PSST posters reposted where they had been removed. So, I plan on talking with the elections board tomorrow and checking up about that." Contact the campus/federal politics reporter atjaredpaben@dailyemerald.com.

SENATE continued from page 1 during Finals Week. The Senate also debated creating a student-issues committee that would consider supporting the Internation al Student Association's request for funds from the President's Fund. After speaking in support of ISA, Sen. Rodrigo Moreno-Villamar pro posed a motion to create the commit tee, which would hold the University administration accountable for fund ing only that specific group. Sen. Joe Jenkins said it wouldn't be fair to all students to aid only ISA. Af ter the motion failed, Harding pro posed the formation of an interim student-issues committee until the rules committee is able to set up a per manent body, and Sen. Steven Lock field seconded the motion. Morales responded, implying sen ators were discriminatory. "Rodrigo presented the idea, but now with two white males supporting the motion" it's being supported, Morales said. Strawn said he was very offended by Morales' comment, adding that he respects Moreno-Villamar. Moreno-Villamar defended the mo tion as well, saying his ideas weren't being stolen. It passed 12-4.
