It was the best of times before the special
session mandated cuts that decimated the
University. Now the University is plotting a
comeback with legislative lobbying and a
public awareness program

The branches of the main library — like the
Fenton Law Library — serve the needs of
students in specific fields of study

The diverse architectural styles of campus
buildings are examined in an article that illus

sidelong glances
Brace yourself This is yet another
column on the ecomonic condition of
Oregon higher education You can stop
right now if you're as tired of reading
these columns as the writers are of wri
ting them If I had a nickel in my pocket
for every time the Emerald has used the
word "budget' in news stories, editor
ials. columns and letters when I walked it
would sound like the sifting of debris
following the collapse of the Crystal
Palace
But now all the wailing and beating of
breasts that initially met the Legislature's
special session(s) budget cuts to higher
education has become but a quivering
lower lip and a barely audible snuffle
Only in the last special session was the
state system of higher education spared
That doesn't mean the crisis has passed
— as those-in-the-know know It does
indicate the Legislature has come to
recognize the dire consequences to this
University and other colleges and uni
versities if forced to again cut their bud
gets
However, don't dry your eyes and tuck
that damp hanky into your back pocket
even though things might look stable for
higher education
Don't be deceived by the campaign
antics in the first of three debates in
Portland between Gov. Vic Atiyeh and
challenger Ted Kulongoski In the midst
of a debate that was supposed to point
out how diametrically different Ted is
from Vic — and vice versa — They agreed
on a strong support for higher education.
They also voiced their opposition to the
closure of any higher educational insti
tutions
However, that same afternoon in
Eugene those-in-the-know (the State
Board) were at the University meeting
with a less than unified front
The board was taken aback by the
speedily devised plan of newly appointed
Chancellor Bud Davis to merge the
teacher education programs at OSU and
WOSC The board wasn’t completely
willing to leap on the cart with Davis — in
their disagreement they agree to post
pone action
In what newsreporters write as
"meanwhile, the board" the board
reviewed and approved a "priority list”
for Atiyeh to use in case the 1983-85
higher education budget must be cut
This is a "rollback" plan with cuts
ranging from 5 percent to 20 percent that
the board is required to submit
The board described possible cuts
without naming specific programs or
schools But it is speculated that each 5
percent represents $18 million lost in tax
money — in terms more tangible — that
means the loss of 300 faculty, 60 staff
and an enrollment reduction of 4,000
students Those cuts will kill higher
education in Oregon
These are not the rational actions of
people who believe the worst is behind
them A representative from the chan
cellor's office said he didn't expect such
a situation to occur — at least not in such
proportions But if one reads the board’s
actions — and their contingency plan —
whether or not it will occur is moot. Their
action begs the questions "when, how
much and where?”
What happens next? Well, it is an
election year — and a vote is a statement
of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the
way things are and what they might
become And that’s the most positive
statement you’ll ever get from a cynic.
