Crisis Continued from page 4 By joining forces with the city of Eugene, Curry says the University may be able to cir cumvent that catch Recently, Richard Hersh, University vice provost for re search, accepted a seat on Eugene’s Joint Council on Economic Development, giving the University a valuable voice in city policy The council cur rently is working on a marketing proposal designed to entice light industry and high-tech corporations into the Eugene community. Economics Prof Ed Whi telaw, using a research grant, is conducting marketing surveys that will be used by the council. Bill Winters of the journalism school is working on the pub licity aspects of the marketing campaign Meanwhile, the city's Busi ness Assistance Team is work ing with University business and administration classes to come up with ways to increase local profits "It's a handoff kind of rela tionship," Long says "The University's participation has been very important " Other efforts to bring the University closer to the com munity include a series of tours hosted by Curry and other University brass. City and coun ty government leaders, state legislators and other local in fluential are paraded before the University's technological research institutes in the molecular biology, chemical physics and geothermal fields. Some of them understand what they see, some don't, but all are impressed by what they are shown It's too early to predict whether the current coopera tion between the University and the city will pay off. Long says. "I can only say this: Those communities that are similar to Eugene have organized in much the same way and have been successful " The connection between the University and the city is not strictly economic And it has not always been quite so amiable /V* Photo by Dave Kao Charlene Curry Long, who started working for the city while he was still a graduate student, remembers one of the more intense con frontations between the city and the school It was the spring of 1970, Long's first week on the job The city police department had just received word that student pro testers had blocked the 13th Avenue entrance to the Univer sity with bricks and had ren amed it "People's Street.” Long remembers former Mayor Les Anderson telling the city manager, "There's an easy way to solve this thing, and there's a complex way." The easy way would involve force and there'd be some blood in the streets." he remembers An derson saying The complex way would take some time. The city opted for complexity Phone lines were established between students and police As police pulled back and student demands were met or compromised, bricks were removed Thirteenth Avenue was eventually closed to traffic. Cooperation like that helped prevent the deep rifts between the University and the commun ity that occurred in other un iversity cities, Long says. The result, he says, is an “in tensively productive relation ship — a very positive one." r COUPON I THIS IS PIZZA!
