arrested,” said Michael Carrigan of
Oregon PeaceWorks and the Com
munity Alliance of Lane County’s
Progressive Responses. Carrigan as
sisted in organizing the demonstra
tion, which included the arrests of
those who blocked the entrances of
the University’s Military Science
building and held a sit-in with the
intent of “disrupting military busi
ness,” according to Karla Cohen,
one of the seven people arrested.
Those arrested on campus on
Nov. 18 were Eugene residents Kar
la Cohen, 36; Henry Dizney, 79;
Ruth Koenig, 64; Penny Palmer, 64;
Fraeda Scholz, 26; Dorean Schubert,
50; and Kyle Yamada, 28. They were
charged with Criminal Trespass II,
and each pleaded not guilty.
Brian Michaels, the lawyer repre
senting those arrested, said Friday
he bargained with the prosecutor
and the charges would be reduced
from misdemeanors to violations, and
the arrested would only see fines of up
to $165. War protesters showed their
support of the total 11 arrested by
pouring into the small courtroom at
the Eugene Municipal Court.
The original anti-Iraq war demon
stration was organized to create the
most peaceful demonstration possible,
while giving “the enemies a chance to
respond,” said Peter Chabarek, one of
the main organizers of the protest.
Cohen and other anti-war protesters
are already looking forward to their
next effort to end the war.
“Civil disobedience is the loudest
way (to get the message) across,”
she said.

Maintenance: General funds
provide $5 million per year

the capital repair budget, said an
ideal system would enable Facilities
Services to do more preventative
maintenance to keep facilities at a
stable level of quality.
“The way most states fund aca
demic institutions right now, you
can’t do that,” he said. “There isn’t
enough money, so you end up pick
ing select things you don’t do every
year, which probably should be
done, and that qualifies as deferred
maintenance. That grows every
year. Most universities nationwide
are probably in to $100 million plus
of deferred maintenance. ”
The difficulties of maintaining
campus buildings can be com
pounded by the additions of new
buildings.
When donors pay to construct a
new building, money is not always
allocated to maintain the new
facility in a timely way.
“In a perfect world, there’s a sys
tem to add maintenance dollars
when new square footage is added
to campus, but it’s not always effi
cient,” Dehle said. While donors
have proven willing to pay for new
buildings, it is more difficult to find
people interested in financing
campus maintenance.
“Nobody would pay to do a roof,”
Bloom said.
Without the funds to fix every
thing, Facilities Services must de
cide which needs are more pressing.
They use a Facilities Condition In
dex, which measures the condition
of each building.
According to the FCI, Hendricks
Hall, Fenton Hall, Johnson Hall, Con
don Hall and Straub Hall are in the
poorest condition of all buildings
maintained by Facilities Services.

DPS audit: Mistakes, theft may
cause financial irregularities
Continued from page 1A
Grier, in an e-mail to the Emerald,
wrote that the Internal Audit Divi
sion’s report will be issued soon.
“They have requested we follow
their protocol of not responding to spe
cific questions about an audit until the
audit report is issued,” she wrote.
Patricia Snopkowski, director of the
audit division, wrote in an e-mail that
the audit is the first her division has
conducted in the five years she’s been
employed there. Snopkowski, who
contracts for all outside audits, wrote
that DPS isn’t currently undergoing an
outside audit.
When asked about the possible
repercussions if financial irregulari
ties or irregularities caused by
embezzlement are discovered in the
audit, Grier wrote that irregularities
can occur when employees don’t
understand proper accounting pro
cedures, commit typographical er
rors or don’t follow cash-handling
procedures, in which case the Uni
versity would decide whether to
impose sanctions on the employee.
If the University discovered an em
ployee embezzled funds or committed
another crime involving University re
sources, “the employee would almost
certainly be disciplined and, again de
pending on the circumstances, subject
to criminal prosecution.”
