place to sell tobacco on campus.
Store manager Kim Shore said she
hopes the remodel and the expanded
item selection, particularly the sushi,
will generate revenue to replace the
projected $90,000 they will lose be
cause of the ban on tobacco sales.
According to Shore, tobacco sales ac
counted for about 75 percent of the
store’s sales in previous years.
Henry Ferguson, stepfather to a
University freshman, dropped in to
try one of the sushi combination
trays. A former smoker, he said he is
glad the store doesn’t sell tobacco
products, adding that he’d prefer
“even rotten sushi” to tobacco.
“The school shouldn’t be in the
business of selling tobacco,” Fergu
son said.
Freshman Ricarte Arnold appeared
enthusiastic about the sushi offerings
and said he is fine with the ban on to
bacco sales, adding that his father
smokes.
“1 love sushi, and I hate the smell
of cigarettes,” Arnold said. He added
that he’d probably buy sushi every
day for lunch.
Senior Sarah Holman said she
would take advantage of the store’s
selection of toiletries.
“I don’t have a car, and the nearest
place is Safeway, and that’s like 20
blocks away,” Holman said.
Sophomore Phil Jackson said the
new items and look won’t change his
buying habits.
“I come in for Goldfish and a soda,
and that’s it,” Jackson said.
In addition to the changes in the
products offered, the store received
an extensive $30,000 remodel. Shore
said the store has been repainted and
has new floors, refrigerators and sales
area. One of the most noticeable
changes is the u-shaped counter with
registers at either end.
Student store manager Zach Man
dell, a senior, said customer reactions
to the changes have been somewhat
mixed. He said some customers ap
peared slightly exasperated when the>
found they could no longer buy ciga
rettes, but that most liked the remodel
“The regulars really like how it
looks,” Mandell said.

Yom Kippur: Oregon Hillel
holds services all day Saturday
Continued from page b
faith, but encouraged those in atten
dance to get to know their communi
ty. The silent crowd immediately
erupted with chatter while people in
troduced themselves to each other.
Stein then took the floor and began
the candlelighting ceremony, which
was led by three students. The serv
ices held during Yom Kippur were
performed by Stein, along with the
help of student volunteers, according
to Andi Lipstein, program director for
the Oregon Hillel.
Lipstein estimated that there are
approximately 1,000 Jewish students
at the University.
“It’s important that students have
a place to be Jewish on campus, re
gardless of their level of observance,’
said Lipstein.
The Oregon Hillel organizes activi
ties for students from the Jewisf
community. It is funded by founda
tions, the Jewish federation, Hillel In
ternational and private donors.
“It’s pretty awesome that we’re abb
to offer Yom Kippur services to stu
dents free of charge,” said Lipstein.
In addition to Friday’s Kol Nidn
service, Hillel also held both mornini
and afternoon services for Saturday a
well as Break the Fast, which ended th*
Yom Kippur holiday Saturday evening

IN BRIEF
Vegetable oil-powered bus
visits campus today
A bus powered by recycled veg
etable oil and solar panels took to the
streets of Eugene this weekend to
promote alternative fuels and the Na
tional Outdoor Leadership School, a
Wyoming-based wilderness educa
tion school.
The specially converted bus is re
fueled at restaurants where vegetable
oil is used. Asian restaurants are a fa
vorite, said Nate Kratz, the bus’
grease technician.
“Tempura is ideal because it has ti
be changed daily. It’s pure gold, lik
honey,” he said.
Ashley Lewis, a school represents
tive, said used vegetable oil is
cleaner, renewable alternative to pe
troleum. Six solar panels on top c
the bus power the interior’s lights
stereo, computers and television.
The bus is two months into a
eight-month tour to sites across th
country. College campuses, outdoc
recreation retailers and organic foo
markets are the usual stops for th
tour, Lewis said
Today, the bus will be parked ou
side the University’s Collier House.
