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. Call 346-3724 or

Spirit: T-shirts help fund cheerleaders, bands
Continued from page 1
For the past two years, University
staff members have come up with the
slogans. 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.

visiting team.
“It’s really bright, and it’s really
fun,” Hesus said. “It’s so exciting. 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.”
