three mushroom clinics
The rainy season is here, and the
tijne has come for mushroom hunting.
The Outdoor Program’s Fall Inter
pretive Series’ mushroom clinics are
guiding students in properly identify
ing mushrooms and staking out the
best spots to find them.
Starting with a mushroom identi
fication presentation tonight at 5:30
p.m. in the Outdoor Program’s of
fice to teach students how to identi
fy mushrooms, the three-part clinic
will cover mushroom education,
hunting, preserving and cooking.
“The identification clinic is going
to cover a lot of ground in teaching
students about the different kinds of
mushrooms and what’s good and
bad,” said Outdoor Program Trip Fa
cility Director and clinic host Ed Fre
dette. “Even if you aren’t going on
the field trip but plan on going mush
room hunting this season, it’s a good
idea to come to the identification clin
ic to learn more about mushrooms.”
There is a mushroom hunting
field trip on Saturday and Sunday
(pre-registration required) and a
cultivating, preserving and cooking
clinic on Saturday, Nov. 12. Materi

Duck Dash homecoming
run through campus
Participants in the seventh annual
Duck Dash may have to tolerate
wind and thundershowers if the
Weather Channel’s predictions are
correct, but “runners don’t mind the
rain,” said Colleen McKillip, events
coordinator for the law school.
The only official run through
campus takes place Saturday at 8:30
a.m. The 5K (3.1 mile) Duck Dash
is the University’s official home
coming run, commencing at Hay
ward Field on the west side of the
track, winding through campus and
finishing in the courtyard behind
the Knight Law Center.
Walkers and runners will travel
the same course and start at the
same time.
McKillip expects 190 to 200 peo
ple to participate in the race.
Duck Dash is organized by the
School of Law and the Journal of
Environmental Law and Litigation
as a fundraiser for law school stu
dent scholarships.
Proceeds from the event go to a
scholarship fund set up in honor of
Tom Foster, a University law student
who died in 1999.
Foster, an avid runner, skier, fly
fisherman and soccer player, was a
member of the law school’s class of
2000 and was given a degree
posthumously, according to the
School of Law’s Web site.
Duck Dash prizes will be given to
the first place male, female and
master-runner winners and ribbons
will go to first, second and third
place winners in different age divi
sions, male and female.
McKillip said gifts from donors
will be given away in a random
prize drawing after the ribbons and
plaques are awarded.
Race packets will be available to
day from noon to 6 p.m. and Satur
day from 7:30 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. in
the Knight Law Center.
Participants can sign up for the
Duck Dash at www.goodrace.com un
til 10 a.m. today or go to the first floor
lobby in the Knight Law Center at 1515
Agate St. Saturday morning.
McKillip recommends showing
up no later then 7:45 a.m.
Registration and a long-sleeved
shirt costs $22. Registration without
a shirt is $16.

WUN: Eight board members also elected
Continued from page 1A
opposing the University’s sale of the
Westmoreland Apartments. Walsh
will be speaking in opposition to the
sale in front of the Oregon Universi
ty System Finance and Administra
tion Committee in Portland this
morning, he said at the meeting.
Walsh spoke at length on the topic
before the vote, expressing concern
over what he called a lack of commu
nity participation in the sale and the
loss of affordable housing for stu
dents and their families. He encour
aged everyone, not just students, to
get involved if they feel strongly.
“This is important not only for
students, but the allies of students,”
Walsh said.
The board also suggested future
discussions about the creation of a
neighborhood watch program, con
tinuing work on the West University
Park and future meeting locations.
Walsh said he was interested in
creating a candidate forum for the
upcoming city council elections.

The WUN is represented by Ward 3
City Councilor David Kelly, who is
up for re-election but has not yet
stated whether he will run. Bruce
Mulligan — a member of the Eu
gene Budget Committee, which
makes budget recommendations to
the city council — has already filed
to run against Kelly.
“Most neighborhood associations
do candidate forums,” Walsh said.
“It’s important to create a dialogue
around our potential representatives.”
Walsh said that a forum would
benefit both candidates and
community members.
“People at meetings are not only
the ones that vote but the ones who
tell their friends who they are voting
for,” Walsh said.
The group also heard from Julia
Augustus of the Alpha Kappa Psi
business fraternity, who is organiz
ing a neighborhood cleanup for
Nov. 12.
Augustus said that as part of the fra
ternity she has to perform communi
ty service, and this year she wanted to
take a more proactive approach.
“I thought it would be cool if we
initiated our own event, and a
cleanup seemed like a good thing to
do,” she said.
There will be a cleanup table set up
in front of the University Bookstore
that day, and volunteers can get maps,
garbage bags, drinks and snacks pro
vided by EMU Food Services. Augus
tus said she is also in contact with Tar
get to get donations of garbage bags,
gloves and possibly T-shirts.
Walsh said he is hoping to make
the WUN a place where students
and residents can discuss issues fac
ing the neighborhood, but also
learn about how the city works.
Last year, the WUN was visited by
both the mayor and the police chief,
and Walsh hopes to bring both back
this year, he said.
“Personally I was able to learn a
lot,” Walsh said. “I would like to bring
about the same type of atmosphere.”
