EMPTY CAMPUS DAY
August 4th
To show the UO that they must deal fairly with all of their employees, the GTFF is
asking that you avoid coming on to campus on August 4th. This is the day before
mediation begins and we will show the UO that the GTFF is strong and supported
by the campus community
CAMPUS!
GTFs and sympathetic faculty will be holding their classes off campus,
ask your instructor for more information.
After 9 months of bargaining the University and the Graduate
Teaching Fellows Federation have not been able to reach an
agreement on a new contract.
The main sticking points are
• The University refuses to bargain wages, and has insisted
that GTFs get no raises for the length of the new contract.
^ • The University has repeatedly tried to change the
O contract to allow the UO to hire Grad students and others
^ at cheap hourly wages, undermining the union and
3 depriving those workers of collective bargaining rights.
• The University has offered almost no improvement in our
contract language, and only a small temporary decrease
in fees.
We remain committed to bargaining a fair contract for GTFs, and ask for the university
i community’s support to achieve this. More info and updates at www.gtff.net.

CORRECTION
The Emerald erroneously reported in the July 29 article "Museum opening postponed until ‘05" that a portion
of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art will open in October for a special traveling exhibition of work by Andy
Warhol. In fact, the museum will not reopen to the public until January 2005, and will feature the Warhol exhibi
tion as the inaugural installation of its 4,000-square-foot Changing Exhibitions Gallery at that time.
The Emerald regrets the error.

Creswell resident James House is bringing a lawsuit against the University after an
unlawful-trespass notice banned him from campus and he was allegedly prevented from
filing an appeal.
LAWSUIT
continued from page 1
Lavalife, and they were just friends.
House said they pursued friendship
for six months before Hastie retreated
from the friendship without breaking
off all contact, House said.
In January, House began to attend
an aerobics class at the University Stu
dent Recreation Center which hap
pened to be taught by Hastie, House
said. She said he contacted her in writ
ing before signing up for the class and
asked her if it would be a problem if
he were there, he said. He received no
response, he said.
Hastie told DPS that House had
been in her class the previous year
and had continued to contact her
even after she told him not to. Hastie
told DPS that House joined the rec
center to pursue contact with her,
House said.
"They tried to accuse me of harass
ing and stalking her," said House,
who denies all of Hastie's allegations.
House said Hastie claims they met
when he took a class from her at the
rec center during the 2003-04 school
year and she never met him on Laval
ife. House said he never signed up for
any classes before January of this year.
"She's basically trying to make
it look like I'm a student who
tried to pursue a personal relation
ship," House said. "She's a patho
logical liar."
The rec center wouldn't release
House's records showing he had or
hadn't taken classes before January.
The University Office of the Registrar
Office said it didn't have that infor
mation because it dealt solely with
the rec center.
"They tried to accuse
me of harassing
and stalking her."
— James House
Filed lawsuit against University
House said he was not allowed to
give a statement before the trespass
notice was issued and that Hicks re
lied solely on Hastie's story. House
said Hastie claims he called her re
peatedly at work, after she had asked
him not to, and that he was at the rec
center solely to pursue a relationship.
Those claims are false, he said.
Phone calls and e-mails to Hastie
were not returned.
House said the case is likely to go to
court around the end of the year but
he hopes it will not be taken that far
and that the University will settle.
"It's going to be difficult," said
House. "They've caused me a lot
of distress."
Further information on the case and
its progress can be found at House's
Web site www.oregonreform.com.
