STATE ASUO SENATE Rousseau’s on the oregon smoke-free campus plan campaign trail moves ahead

Senators question enforcement; president says culture shift needed

Franklin bains news reporter

The Meeting ASUO senators heard about new developments in ASUO President Amelie Rous- seau’s proposal to make the University cam- pus tobacco-free, discussed funding for the new student sustainability coordinator, altered more ASUO bylaws and approved a special re- quest from the Women’s Center. The Decisions Once again, ASUO Senate unanimously passed through three rules changes proposed by the rules committee. These included a new process for making resolutions, clarity on fi- nancial resolutions or resolutions involving the student incidental fee, and a formal pro- cedure in the bylaws for starting and acting through an ad-hoc committee, an informal group to discuss matters outside of the Senate. A special request from the Women’s Center for $1,654 was unanimously ap- proved. The total amount of the request went to the Women’s Center’s line item called “LGBTQ-related events” and went to pay for Intersex Awareness Week, a continuous event open to all students happening from Oct. 25-27. courtesy of dmitri von klein The money will go toward room reservations, President Barack Obama endorses Democratic candidate John Kitzhaber for governor of Oregon at a rally on Wednesday night, in which he talked about Kitzhaber’s advertisements in newspapers and on post- experience, environmental concerns and providing Oregonians with jobs. ers, and an honorarium for Emi Koyama, an Lauren Fox intersex activist. managing editor The Tension More than 8,000 people attended President Obama’s rally for ASUO President Rousseau said the Execu- tive has received an $800,000 grant from Pa- gubernatorial candidate John Kitzhaber in Portland on Wednesday cificSource Health Plans, which she will use night.

10WAYS TO pass time between classes

We’ve all had those annoying short breaks between classes, where there’s not enough time to go home but too much time to go straight to your next class. Don’t waste your time going home and turning right around to go back to campus. Here are 10 better, wiser, more efficient uses of your time.

1) Have a beer at Rennie’s Landing.

2) Play pool at The Break in the EMU.

3) Hang out with Doug (the Jesus Loves You guy).

4) Pretend you’re cultured and walk around the art museum.

5) Try to get onto the second floor of the John E. Jaqua Academic Center for Student Athletes.

6) People-watch at alex mcdougall photographer Espresso Roma.

To instill that fast tempo, Altman has often turned his own Judging by the look on his face, perhaps it was something along “I think, ultimately, it was the people, our fans, that got him to emotions up a notch. the lines of, “Another one of these?

MEN’S BASKETBALL KEY NEWCOMERS TO WATCH THIS upcoming SEASON

LUCAS CLARK sports editor It’s no secret the Oregon men’s basketball team had one of the most chaotic offseasons in recent history, turning a major corner as Ernie Kent’s 13-year coaching era came to an end. A high-profile coaching search that ultimately landed Dana Altman as the 19th head coach of the men’s basketball program resulted in a flux of departures from nearly half of last year’s roster. Josh Crittle, Michael Dunigan, Matthew Humphrey, LeKendric Longmire, Drew Wiley and Jamil Wilson all left to pursue other options, leaving room for a new group to welcome in the next era of Oregon basketball. Here is a look at four of the newest Duck signees.

Johnathan Loyd The freshman from Las Vegas looks to be next in the line of undersized Or- egon point guards. The speedy 5-foot-9-inch Loyd weighs in at just 165 pounds, but could excel in Altman’s fast-paced game style. Following his senior season at Bishop Gorman High School, Loyd was named the Class 4A Boys Basket- ball Player of the Year after leading the Gaels to a 30-2 record and a second consecutive state championship. He was also a first team all-state football player for Bishop Gorman’s state title-winning football team. Loyd’s comment on the future: “I think we’re going to have a lot of players that are going to come in behind (us) that are going to be great, because we have new facilities coming up. I’m pretty sure that’s drawing everybody to our program.”

Tyrone Nared A 6-foot-8-inch forward hailing from Woonsocket, R.I., Nared will make up some ground in the height department for a guard-heavy Oregon squad. Nared spent last season at Monroe College in Bronx, N.Y, starting in 24 games for the Mustangs. Before Monroe, Na- red spent two seasons at the Community College of Rhode Island, where he received All-American honors after his redshirt freshman season, averaging 12 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. Altman’s comment: “Tyrone is a versatile player and a good athlete. He will help us once he makes the adjustment to Division I basketball.”

Martin Seiferth He speaks German, French and English, and will be the only true cen- ter on the Oregon roster. A German native who stands 6 feet 10 inches tall, Seiferth will see valuable time, as Dunigan has left the team. He de- scribes himself as a versatile big man who can run the court exception- ally well, while providing a much-needed rebounding edge. The adjust- ment to collegiate rules in the United States will be one of the numerous adjustments Seiferth will have to make during his freshman campaign. Altman’s comment: “I like Martin. He’s got some size. He got here really late, so it’s going to be a little bit of an adjustment for him. He’s a bright young man.”

Jay-R Strowbridge Oregon’s final addition is a senior from Huntsville, Ala. Strowbridge, a 5-foot- 10-inch guard, played for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 2007-09 before transferring to Jacksonville State last season. He played in just 12 games last year and averaged 12.5 points, 2.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game. After a lengthy wait, the NCAA deemed Strowbridge eligible for his final season of competition on Thursday, Oct. 14. Strowbridge will provide additional experience to the Ducks, having started 19 of 29 games his freshman year. Altman’s comment: “Jay-R Strowbridge has worked his tail off. He got here; he’s waited for word from the NCAA. He’s been great. He’s worked hard on the basketball court; he’s worked hard off. He’s really been a positive addition to our team.” Thursa d y, October 21, 2010 Oregon Daily Emerald 11A SPORTS alley oop | lucas clark call 541.346.5511 Top-ranked Ducks face or visit us online long road to Glendale employment 205 Help Wanted Earn $1000-$3200 a month to drive our cars with ads. www.AdCarDriver.

summary

The Oregon Ducks get their first chance to show off their top national ranking in a conference battle with the UCLA Bruins. UCLA inserted a new pistol offense in the offseason with strong results in the running game, but the passing game has not followed suit. Oregon will be without sophomore Kenjon Barner, but the nation’s leading rusher, LaMichael James, is expected to have another big game.
