DDS probation: ASUO
will monitor for one year
Continued from page 1
drinking didn’t work for DDS; they
were asked by an employed driver
to help with dispatching. Loschia
vo said if the driver cooperates
with investigators he probably
won’t be fired.
“My understanding is that he
said, ‘You all are helping me out;
there can’t be any drinking here;
you’re just dispatching me to
wherever people need a ride,”’
Loschiavo said.
DDS Director Travis Edwards
said he has “absolutely no com
ment,” but he later told the Emer
ald “nobody knows exactly what’s
going on right now.”
As of Tliesday evening, Loschia
vo said Edwards had not yet con
tacted Student Judicial Affairs,
which is handling the
punishments.
Last year, DDS Co-Director Katy
Lang, who stepped down not long
after the incident in May, met with
Student Judicial Affairs to find a
solution to the problem.
“The first steps need to be tak
en within a group to reconcile
whatever problems they have,”
ASUO President Adam Walsh said.
The University administration,
Student Judicial Affairs, ASUO
and the EMU are involved in the
investigation, Goward said.
He said the ASUO will monitor
DDS for the next year to ensure it
is following ASUO guidelines,
state law and “just basic
common sense.”
“If they are not abiding by the
Green Tape Notebook, not abiding
by their mission statement or
bringing bad press to either the
ASUO, that program or the Univer
sity, we will be stepping in this
year to prevent that from happen
ing,” Goward said.
If DDS is not cooperative or if
the problem arises again in the
next year, the DDS director will be
asked to step down and the ASUO
will hire an interim director to de
termine the organization’s prob
lems and find solutions,
Goward said.
“This is a new step on how we
will handle programs this year,”
he said. “Basically after one strike,
you’re on probation. Two strikes:
Things are going to change,”
he said.
Walsh said because he wasn’t
ASUO president last year, he will
handle only offenses that occur
this year. Given the history of
DDS, the ASUO will be stepping in
immediately, he said.
“Once a group stops functioning
in the way they’re supposed to, it
gives us authority to manage that
group,” he said.
To assist the ASUO in monitor
ing DDS, Goward said, students
who have a complaints should no
tify him by calling 346-0627 or e
mailing asuoprog@uoregon.edu.
“I recommend any time that a
student feels they have not been
served adequately, treated respect
fully and served in a consistent
manner by any ASUO program ...
that they do come in and talk to
me,” Goward said.

Tough: Boyle
inspires new
generation
Continued from page 1
Boyle’s parents founded the com
pany in Portland in 1938 after fleeing
Nazi Germany. Although it is publicly
traded, company control remains with
Boyle and her son, Tim Boyle. It is this
relationship, featured in Columbia’s
“Tough Mother” ad series, that she
said brought the company
national recognition.
When asked about her biggest
achievement, she answered without
hesitation that it is her family.
“I’ve raised three kids that have nev
er been in trouble,” she said. “They all
went to University of Oregon and got
good educations and are just
good kids.”
Tim Boyle is still active with the Uni
versity as vice chairman of the
fundraising effort Campaign Oregon.
Boyle told the mostly female audi
ence that they were lucky to live in a
time when gender is not a liability.
“As far as I can tell, today, there’s no
difference between male or female,”
she said. “There’s just talent, dedica
tion and drive.”
Audience members said they found
the talk — and Boyle herself —
inspiring.
“Your background and your experi
ence don’t matter. If there’s something
you believe in and are willing to take a
chance on, the possibilities are end
less,” said Cassie Pruett, the business
administration and international stud
ies senior who introduced Boyle to
the stage.
