Student Senate allocates
majority of surplus
The ASUO Student Senate has just
$4,795 remaining in surplus funds af
ter approving almost $16,000 in special
requests Wednesday night.
Senators voted 12-2 to approve
$6,580 for an art and lecture series pre
sented by the Multicultural Center in
May. The series will feature hip-hop,
spoken word, lectures and art.
The Senate also voted 11-1 to ap
prove $5,000 for the International Stu

al Week, April 18-24.
The Women’s Water Polo Club re
ceived $4,407 to attend the national

first in the conference play 22-2.
The Senate denied a special request
for about $3,600 by the House of Film

incidental-fee funded, will pursue
funding through other ASUO avenues.

Michael Sherman said he will present

84 and slamming on his car's
brakes, causing the SUV to swerve
and roll, according to Oregon State
Police reports.
Smith had been tailgating the
SUV and he became angry when
driver, Sandra Sturdevant, tapped
her brakes, said Morrow County
District Attorney David C. Allen.
After the SUV rolled, Smith
fled and waited for his father to
pick him up and help him leave
the state, Allen said.
One passenger in the SUV, Jen
nifer Thiver Middleton, 35, broke
her back when she was ejected.
She has been paralyzed below the
chest since the crash. Sturdevant
and another passenger suffered
minor injuries.
Oregon State Police investigat

received a tip about the Smiths in
late January, Oregon State TYooper
Dan DeHaven said.
Investigators used mobile phone
records to learn where the father
and son were living, Allen said.
Butch Smith was being held in
the Marion County Jail in Jasper,
Tenn., on a $500,000 bond, Offi
cer Scott Rogers of the jail said.
He now faces a hearing on extra
dition from Tennessee, Allen said.
Governor issues strategy
to fight global warming
GRANTS PASS — Gov. Ted Ku
longoski wants Oregon to get tough
on global warming, arguing that
promoting renewable energy and
reducing greenhouse gas emissions
will be good for the local economy.
The governor released a strate
gy based on a report by a panel of
experts and interest groups that
recognizes global warming as a
threat to Oregon’s economy due
to far-reaching climatic changes,
such as reduced snowpacks re
sulting in less water for hydroelec
tric production. It promotes steps
that are in line with efforts being
undertaken by the governors of
Washington and California.
The advisory panel suggested
getting emissions of carbon diox
ide and other greenhouse gases un
der control by 2010, posting a 10
percent reduction by 2020 and a 75
percent reduction by 2050.
The governor will appoint a task
force to develop stricter emissions
standards for vehicles, and a work
ing group to develop a schedule
for utilities and other large pro
ducers of carbon dioxide to
reduce emissions.
