Police find Duck player's
stolen Honda Civic
Eugene police have recovered a
Honda Civic belonging to Duck foot
ball linebacker Brent Haberly that
was stolen, completely stripped and
left near the University Commons
Apartments, police said.
Police recovered the green 1999
Civic on Wednesday near Building
B, Eugene Police Department
spokeswoman Kerry Delf said.
The door panels, lights, spoiler,
seats, stereo and upholstery were
stripped out, Haberly and Delf said.
The thief also took his golf bag,
leaving the clubs.
Haberly said he left his car at the
Casanova Center while he was in
Arizona playing the Wildcats.
“1 got back from scoring my touch
down and noticed that my car was
gone,” he said. “So it was kind of an
up-and-down weekend.”
Haberly said the thieves probably
used a modified master key to enter
his car.
Honda Civics are the No. 3 most
commonly stolen cars, with Honda
Accords and Toyota Camrys the first
and second, Delf said.
Last week, Haberly reported to
police that credit cards stolen from
the vehicle were being used for
purchases, Delf said.

Blood: UO
has lagged in
annual drive
Continued from page 1
with a trophy in gratitude of their
blood-donor fans.
“It’s an exciting competition,”
Longeteig said. “It’s a fun way for "
people to come out and show sup
port for their team as well as help
save a lot of lives.”
The University hasn’t won the
competition since it began in 2002.
“University of Oregon has been
— I hate to say so — lagging,”
Longeteig said. “OSU has been a
great competitor and to win UO is
definitely going to have to drum up
more support. ”
In 2004, fans from across the
state donated more than 7,100 units
of blood (one unit is about one
pint). This year’s goal is to collect
9,000 units.
Blood donors must weigh a mini
mum of 110 pounds and be in good
general health. Longeteig recom
mends drinking a lot of decaffeinat
ed fluids, getting a good night’s rest
and eating a square meal for a
smooth and easy donation.
“If you can take an hour out of
your day, that’s all it takes to save
someone’s life,” Longeteig said.
"Plus, you get free cookies.”
The Bloodmobile will be on cam
pus Nov. 8-11 in the EMU's Taylor
Lounge from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For a
complete schedule of dates and lo
cations of the Bloodmobile visit
