WRISTBAND CAMP
^ f T ,
Students camp out
to join Pit Crew
Students began camping out be
hind the EMU as early as 7 p.m.
Thursday night to have a shot at
picking up one of the wristbands
that would entitle them to a Pit
Crew T-shirt Friday morning.
Students wearing Pit Crew T-shirts
are allowed to enter University men’s
basketball games early and sit in a spe
cial courtside section.
“I’m just a big basketball fan,”
said freshman Nick Larkin, one of
the first people in line. “I heard it’s
crazy, a lot of fun.”
Sophomore David Van Der Haeghen
recalled his first experience waiting for
a Pit Crew T-shirt last year, when the
distribution was done in front of
McArthur Court the morning of the
Ducks’ first exhibition game.
“Ernie Kent came out and brought
everyone who spent the night coffee
and doughnuts and juice,” Van Der
Haeghen said. “That was pretty much
when I decided I was going to make
this camp-out thing annual.”
Some of the campers discussed
quizzes on Friday morning, and others
had textbooks open amidst card games
and movies on laptop computers.
Van Der Haeghen said he eventually
planned to get some sleep.
“The concrete doesn’t really
prove the most adequate, but I’m
going to try,” he said.

IN BRIEF
Oregon town honors
soldier killed in battle
PENDLETON, Ore. — The family
and friends of Warrant Officer Adrian
Stump gathered Saturday to celebrate
the life of the Oregon National Guard
pilot killed in combat in Afghanistan.
Sgt. Jonathan Moore, a childhood
friend who served with Stump, said
Stump taught him two important
lessons: “Love your family, and if
you want something, go get it..”
Passion for life and love of flying
were the theme for the speakers at a
memorial service held at the Pendleton
airport for Stump, who died Sept. 25 in
Deh Chopan, Afghanistan, while co-pi
loting the lead Chinook in a convoy of
helicopters on a combat mission.
“He had an enormous heart... and
true passion for life,” said his uncle,
Joe Deutz.
Gov. Ted Kulongoski, continuing
his pledge to attend the funeral of
every Oregon soldier killed in
Afghanistan and Iraq, said that
Stump clearly believed in “duty,
honor and service to country.”
Maj. Gen. Fred Rees, commander of
the Oregon National Guard, noted that
at just 22, Stump had become a com
bat pilot with more than 300 hours of
flying time. He was the youngest pilot
in his unit.
“There is joy that Adrian was able to
spend most of his young life doing
what he loved,” said Rev. Mike Fitz
partrick, who led the service attended
by about 1,500 people.
Stump was posthumously awarded
the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart,
which Rees presented to his parents,
Jerry and Anne Stump.

RRC: PFC makes decisions about funding
Continued from page 1
PFC process, they cannot receive
funds,” he said.
In the memo, it states that “The
only instance that a program might
not qualify for continuation of recog
nition is if its Mission and Goals
statements have drastically changed
since the previous year.” Last year,
every program was reviewed by the
PFC before receiving funding.
However, Goward said in an inter
view Thursday that recognition is
also contingent on group member
ship, fulfillment of mission and goals
statements, and whether the group is
consistent with regulations.
Goward said it is likely the RRC
will recognize all current groups.
But he later said that Designated
Driver Shuttle, which is on probation
for having alcohol in its office for the
second time in five months, could
lose funding.
Goward said that in 98.9 percent
of cases, programs lose recognition
after somebody files a grievance —
a formal complaint — with the
ASUO Executive or the Constitution
Court. Nobody has filed a grievance
against DDS.
Community Internship Program
liaison Richard Malena said after
the meeting he’s glad the RRC will
be streamlining the PFC process and
making it faster and easier in
the future.
“I think it’s a great idea if it elimi
nates mistakes,” he said.
Student Senate President
Stephanie Erickson questioned dur
ing the meeting whether the commit
tee does or will have any bylaws.
Goward told her that officials will cre
ate the committee based on a memo
from former ASUO President Adam
Petkun, who established the basis for
the RRC near the end of his presiden
cy in May.
“If they’re going to be making de
cisions that affect the incidental fee,
they should have bylaws,” Erickson
said after the meeting. “I don’t think
a memo can be bylaws.”
“I think it would be a more trans
parent process if they didn’t just stick
with the memo,” Erickson added.
Members of the new committee
will have to abide by the ASUO’s rule
of viewpoint neutrality, a policy that
requires political and religious affili
tion not be taken into account when
allocating monies to student groups.
“Viewpoint neutrality, that is go
ing to be the crux of the RRC,”
Go ward said.
If students on the RRC are mem
bers, or have an “overwhelming”
investment in a program, they will
abstain from voting to recognize
that group.
“That is our duty to you,”
Goward told a crowd of program
leaders at the meeting. As a former
member of Assault Prevention Shut
tle, Goward said he will not be vot
ing during its hearing. Also, Senator
Mike Filippelli, who is sitting on the
RRC, will not be able to vote on
Amnesty International.
The first “meet and greet” RRC
meeting will be held today at 6 p.m.
Goward said he will post the loca
tion outside the ASUO office, EMU
Suite 4, sometime today. It is open
to the public. RRC members will
discuss how to conduct meetings
and will create a list of member con
flicts of interest.
This year, RRC.will review the first
30 programs alphabetically and 15 to
20 new programs. The hearings
should be complete by Nov. 10.,
Goward said.
