Tickets: ASUO works with Athletics Dept. Continued from page 1 paying a fifth of the membership price for a community member, they still pay more than students. “We want to bring consistency to the policy so fee-paying students can maximize the benefits they’re paying for,” Walsh said. “Otherwise, why not be consistent and give all other benefits to non-students?” Walsh said that this is a big change for graduate and non-tradi tional students, such as those who: are part time students, work full time while enrolled, considered fi nancially independent, dependent on a spouse, single parents, without a high school diploma and those with delayed enrollment. “Almost three-quarters of under graduates are in some way ‘nontradi tional,’” according to the Nontradi tional Students Union Web site. The past argument that approved this spousal equivalency program was based on situations in which the spouse and student share in come, and are therefore directly or in directly responsible for the payment of incidental fees. “But when it comes down to it, it’s one incidental fee and one student,” Walsh said. “If the Athletics Department gave us 200 free tickets, we would give them out. But the tickets we get are not free,” Walsh said. Associate director for Internal Op erations of the Athletic Department Steven McBride said that the issue for the Athletics Department is just one of function. Because ASUO negoti ates with the Athletic Department for the amount of tickets given to stu dents, the only role of the Athletics Department after an agreement is dis tribution of those tickets. “It’s the ASUO that determines the eligibility for tickets,” McBride said. President Walsh requests to be per sonally contacted regarding concerns over this decision. His office is in Suite 4 of the EMU.

This year, however, the trademark and licensing department wanted to involve the community in the process by holding a contest to write the slogan for the shirt. “This year was the first time it was open to the community,” University Bookstore marketing coordinator Alma Hesus said. A committee judged more than 2,000 entries and selected the win ning slogan, which was written by Springfield resident Todd Crump. “We wanted something that would show action and excitement,” Nickell said. Entries came in mosdy from the lo cal community, although there were entries from across the country and even Canada. “I’m just really glad that everybody — the community — was able to come and participate in that,” Hesus said. “I think there are so many great ideas out there.” Crump won a $200 Duck Shop gift certificate and a pair of football sea son tickets. First runner-up Dave Hoff of Vancouver, Wash., won two tickets to a PAC-10 football game as well as a $100 Duck Shop gift certificate. Second runner-up Becky Stringfield of Eugene won a $50 Duck Shop gift certificate. “I think that made the community get really excited about it,” Nickell said. “We hope next year will be even more fun.” The shirts are bright yellow to create a more visible and imposing presence when fans wear them in the stadium. “For one thing, it’s very visible when it’s a televised event,” Nickell said. Hesus said it’s “a way to intimidate the other team.” Nickell said stands full of fans wearing yellow goes right along with the slogan, which emphasizes teamwork. “We want our school to look like we have a great support system in our stadium,” Nickell said. “The Michigan game was an excellent ex ample of that.” Hesus said stands full of fans wearing yellow highlights how few fans are in the stands to support the Furniture: Kingsburys delve into their new business endeavor Continued from page 1 “We retired a couple of years ago, and we do have a little more time now,” Mr. Kingsbury said. Thus was bom a business, of sorts. “We did a lot of garage sales and estate sales to get quality furniture that’s in good condition,” Mr. Kings bury said. “We have enough furniture to com pletely furnish five apartments,” said Mrs. Kingsbury. So for $450 or two payments of $245, the Kingsburys will provide the furnishings for a two-bed room apartment. “We want to do it at a low cost for stu dents as service,” Mrs. Kingsbury said. “We’re going to deliver it the day they come or the day they get to their apart ment and pick it up when they leave. ” The delivery has proved to be somewhat of an obstacle for the retired couple. “It’s been a little harder than we thought it would be to move it around,” Mrs. Kingsbury said. Nonetheless, they said they are ex cited about their fledgling endeavor “We just got our first person,” Mrs. Kingsbury said. “We haven’t even done our brochures yet,” Mr. Kingsbury said. Depending on demand, the Kings burys may continue to buy more fur niture for more apartments. The Kingsburys hope to recoup their costs in a year and a half. They say they’re glad for the chance to do something that will make it easi er for international students to come to the University. Having international students has a positive impact on the learning community in general. “With all the terrorism and strife ... this is a way of rectifying that,” Mr. Kingsbury said. “So much of prejudice is based on a lack of familiarity,” Mrs. Kingsbury said.

It really stands out.” The T-shirts costs $7. Making them affordable is a crucial part of the strategy of getting as many fans as possible to wear the shirts. “It’s a nice quality T-shirt and we use a local screenprinter so that stays in the community,” Nickell said. In addition, $1 from every shirt goes directly to the University’s cheerleaders and bands. “So it’s a fundraiser as well,” Nickell said. In years past, the fundraising as pect of the T-shirt sales has been very effective. “It’s enabled our cheerleaders to be in a competition they couldn’t have been in because they didn’t have the funds,” Nickell said. In the two and a half weeks since they’ve been on sale, this year’s shirts are selling well also. “They’ve been doing pretty good,” Hesus said. “I’ve seen them all over Eugene.” gabebradley@dailyememld.com 022563 J — poppiV— _y4n&4oli& Lunch Monday through Saturday Dinner 7 Nights a Week 992 Willamette Eugene, Or 97401 343-9661 Your place for NFWSreader pollsand more classifieds ARCHIVES I www.dailyemerald.com ■ ....
