In performance critique
Evaluators reveal support of Boyd
By KEU OSBORN
Of the Emerald
University Pres. William Boyd
is a highly effective and able uni
versity president — and appar
ently popular with many faculty
members, students and members
of the community — according to
his performance evaluation.
Roy Ueuallen, chancellor of the
State System of Higher Educa
tion, finished the evaluation Nov.
7. State board policy requires a
performance critique of each in
stitution head at the end of three
years of service.
"It's really a very fine evalua
tion," Lieuallen says.
Boyd says he finds it flattering
but is embarrassed by all of the
hoopla.
“I know there are many nega
tive things people could have said
about me, about my perfor
mance," he says.
"In fact. I pointed out several
negative criticisms in the evalua
tion,” he adds.
In his own performance as
sessment, Boyd outlined his
handling of the major issues he
has faced. He also described his
failures and persisting problems
he still combats.
Enrollment has not improved,
Boyd says.
“I can hope that my efforts
have kept it from becoming worse
than it is, but that is small conso
lation."
The University still lacks an
adequate academic planning
process, but Boyd says he thinks
he and the Faculty Advisory
Council are “coming to terms on
that." A good planning process is
important, he explains, to guide
resource re-allocation in "prep
aration for a future certain to be
different from the past.”
His relationship with the ASUO
and student leaders remains un
even, he admits. Three major
problems are at issue, he says:
the control of the EMU, the fund
ing of athletics and the creation of
a campus tavern.
Boyd bemoans the lack of
progress made in the general
area of affirmative action. “The
recommendations from the com
pliance committee may help," he
says, referring to a report re
leased last month detailing the
University’s shortcomings in
reaching affirmative action goals.
On the more positive side,
Boyd received praise for his
leadership, his ability to speak for
the University, and his decision
making capabilities. His listening
skills, selection of personnel and
contributions to faculty morale
also received high marks.
But many of the observations
"did not fit neatly into a category,"
Lieuallen says. A president has
as much impact on public opinion
as the football program has, one
individual noted.
Some expressed concern for
Boyd's health and "moodiness.”
But negative comments in the
evaluation are few and far be
tween. "The only negative thing I
can think of is that he has been
foolish enough to stay with his
job,” one person told Lieuallen.
The reactions of former student
leaders and current students
Other students called Boyd
elitist and criticized his apparent
emphasis on research, rather
than teaching. But some students
praised his speaking and listen
ing skills, and called him a good
leader.
The reactions of former student
leaders and current students
were “far less enthusiastic”
than those of others, Chancellor
Lieuallen noted.
were “far less enthusiastic” than
those of others, Lieuallen says.
"If I were a freshman, I’d respect
him. If I were a GTF, I’d think he’s
awful,” one commented.
Another student wondered if
Boyd wasn’t too unconcerned
with student welfare. “There is
some lingering reaction that stu
dents come second — the Uni
versity first.”
Though the evaluation is a part
of Boyd’s personal file, he de
cided, in the early stages of the
evaluation process, to allow pub
lic access to it. However, access
is limited, Lieuallen says.
“The Board, in my judgment, is
unusually fortunate in having him
as president of the University of
Oregon," the chancellor told state
board members in concluding his
evaluation.
World Bank director assays lending impact
By KEVIN HARDEN
Of the Emerald
The World Bank is at a turning
point in its history, bank executive
Earl Drake said in Eugene Tues
day afternoon, and Third World
Nations are most likely to benefit
from that change.
Drake, one of seven executive
directors of the bank, told nearly
70 University business students,
faculty and community members
that the World Bank's financial
help to Third World and develop
ing countries has helped ease
many problems, but it hasn't gone
ar enough to treat 'pockets of
ooverty" and other hard to solve
oroblems.
The World Bank is an organiza
tion established after World War
II to act as a cleannghouse for fi
nancial reconstruction aid to
Japan, Germany and Italy. Since
its creation, Hie bank has loaned
more than $48 billion to countries
eligible for financial help.
This year, Drake said, the bank
expects to lend more than $600
million. Most of that money will go
to developing countries to finance
“The World Bank . . . has
helped ease many problems,
but it hasn t gone far enough to
treat ‘pockets of poverty’. .
projects that will make them more
productive.
Drake said that although pro
jects such as water, agricultural
and industrial systems for poor
countries improved living condi
tions, the social problems re
mained generally untouched.
“Here the record, I think, is un
even," Drake explained. "We
cannot measure very clearly the
not been a total failure. The coun
tries helped have since begun to
grow in per capita income by
nearly twice the rate of growth of
the United States' own develop
ment.
Drake said the growth of the
developing countries' income has
not been as even as the bank
would like. Middle income coun
tries, such as Mexico, have
grown at a faster pace than other
countries.

IFC hears groups’ requests
The Incidental Fee committee
approved additional funding for
one proyam, agreed to find office
space for another and gave no
thing at all to a third in its meeting
Tuesday afternoon.
The Iranian Muslim Associa
tion, which has been active at the
University since 1976, sought a
token funding of one dollar from
the IFC in order to qualify for of
fice space in the EMU, but was
turned down.
"There simply is no office
space in the EMU," said IFC
member Dusty Rhodes, who for
merly chaired the EMU Board.
"Two other groups have already
requested space.”
The Muslim students stressed
that their group is not politically
motivated, unlike the Iranian and
Arab Student Associatons.
"We want to introduce to the
University the art, history and cul
ture of the Middle East," said
Ahmed Altwaijri, IMA member.
"Our accent will be on the cultural

and musical presentations.”
IFC member Kevin Chambers
commented that Tm very much
in favor of this group. All I've ever
seen from the Iranian and Arab
Student Unions are political
things."
The committee then voted
unanimously to try to find space
for the IMA within the office of the
Foreign Sudent Organization.
In other action, the IFC voted to
increase by $100 the funding for
printing and reproduction for the
Women's Referral and Resource
Service. WRRS co-director Jen
nifer Greenleaf requested the
money to print additional copies
of both a WRRS handbook and a
'Guide to Women's Resources in
Eugene."
Another group, the University
Sailing Club, was denied funding
after Rhodes pointed out that the
club is a private organization and
therefore ineligible for both fund
ing and office space in the EMU.
