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.

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."

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
The University of Oregon is an equal-opportunity, affirmative-action institution committed to cultural diversity and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
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.
