House passes jobless
benefits extension bill
SALEM — Unemployment benefits
would be extended for out-of-work
Oregonians under a bill the Oregon
House passed unanimously Monday.
The measure would provide six
and-a-half weeks of benefits to an es
timated 23,300 workers who exhaust
ed their benefits on or after Dec. 4.
“We need to keep the families
afloat,” said Rep. Donna Nelson, a
McMinnville Republican who spon
sored the bill.
House passage of the benefits ex
tension came as state officials an
nounced that Oregon’s jobless rate
hit its lowest point since 2001, falling
to 6.2 percent in March.
Still, House Speaker Karen Minnis,
R-Wood Village said the bill was im
portant for returning Oregon National
Guard troops who can’t find work.
The cost of the benefits extension
would be $28 million.

women are the only sexually desirable
women,” Erskine said.
She added that any time women
view themselves as objects, it sends
out the wrong message.
“When they’re willing to be pho
tographed as things you can buy, this
is one of the biggest things that con
tribute to assault and rape,” she said.
Hennessey said the students may
have the opportunity to model for
Playboy in the future and that may be
a springboard for bigger things. Cyn
thia Kaye, make-up, hair and
wardrobe artist and former Playboy
Playmate, said even if they don’t pur
sue a career, it gives students a day
they will never forget.
“They want to be here; they want
to be beautiful,” Kaye said. “They
want that movie-star-for-a-day kind
of feeling.” -
Reactions from University students
were mixed when asked about the
Playboy shoot.
“I think it’s their choice. It doesn’t
affect me,” senior Katy Shameklis said.
She added that it may have ap
pealed to her more as a freshman but
now that she is older, she said she
wouldn’t pose.
“For one, it could affect your
future and work against you,”
Shameklis said.
Senior Natalie Reygers said
she heard about the interviews on
the radio.
“It bothers me that they advertise
the way they do,” she said. “They

The charge for possessing anoth

tion carries the same charge as pos
sessing methamphetamine. It is a
class C felony.
Aside from potential felony
charges for illegally using drugs like
Adderall, there are also substantial
health risks. So substantial, that on
Feb. 9, Health Canada announced on
its official Web site that it was with
drawing the drug from the Canadian
market in light of information “con
cerning the association of sudden
deaths, heart-related deaths, and
strokes in children and adults taking
the usual recommended doses of
Adderall and Adderall XR.”
In addition to increasing concen

fects on the body, including elevation
of blood pressure, impotence, insom

diarrhea and overstimulation.

make it seem cool.”
“It puts too much emphasis on your
body image,” she added. “There’s
more to women than big boobs and
their body.”
Sophomore Cameron Patterson said
he didn’t mind.
“It’s cool,” Patterson said. He ac
knowledged it would be “weird” to
see members of his family posing
in Playboy.
“I think it’s very perverse,” junior
Mari Mizobe said. “It surprises me that
students in higher education go and
model for these things,” she added.
The last time Playboy put out a Pac
10 edition was November 1999. After
the distribution, three University
women received phone threats and
sexually explicit calls. Police traced the
phone calls to a Middletown, N.Y.,
man’s residence and anested him. The
man was on probation for threatening
to rape and kill two women.
Hennessey said students have the
option of using a different name.
“If women are not comfortable, they
can use a stage name,” she said.
Drew said she isn’t afraid of having
someone unwanted pursuing her. She
said this is simply a chance to have
some fun.
“Even if it doesn’t go far with this,
you can look back and go ‘ha ha, in
college I tried out for Playboy,”’ she
said. “Everyone has their fun, crazy
stories in college.”
