Images of faculty and staff being sheltered in
an “ivory tower” are being dispelled through the
use of the University Speakers Bureau, manager
George Beres says.
That imagined tower and the barriers it often
creates between college and community quickly
tumble down when University personnel visit
civic and school groups throughout the state to
present programs on their fields of interest and
expertise, Beres says.
“When people need to know that this state
institution is serving its state, the bureau can ar
range for professors and staff to go before various
groups and provide programs,” Beres says. This
provides a significant statewide public relations
vehicle for the University, and is “very signifi
cant in terms of (sharing) expertise on these sub
jects,” he adds.
The subjects and program sites have varied.
Former University assistant sports information
director Janet Heinonen and runner Molly Salazar
have spoken at a Eugene church on women in
athletics. Bill Orr, associate professor of geology,
has addressed the Lincoln City Rotary club on oil
and energy in China.
These visits have provided memorable learn
ing experience for youngsters as well as adult
groups,
Aaron Novick, biology department head,
spent a May afternoon with fifth-graders in the
Talented and Gifted program at Eugene’s
Washington School.
In an hour-long discussion of the nuclear
arms race, Novick described his involvement in
development of the atomic bomb and shared his
teehngs ot remorse ior tne Dommngs oi mrosruma
and Nagasaki. The distinguished scientist and the
children also put their heads together and hashed
out ways to end the threat of nuclear war.
Three other University professors traveled to
Beaverton last year to “brief” a group of
Washington D.C.-bound high school students
who were to meet with cabinet officers and
members of Congress. Jeffrey Needed (history),
George Zaninovich (political science) and Ed
Comstock (international studies) lectured the
students on U.S. relations with the Soviet Union,
Latin America and the Middle East.
Beres says that speakers must alter their lec
ture styles somewhat in order to translate subject
matter into lay people’s terms.
Before Beres began administering the bureau
two years ago, requests for appearances by faculty
and staff were channeled to individual members
by the University Relations office. Beres recently
contacted 15 colleges and universities around the
country in search of an institution with one in
dividual in charge of an organization similar to
the bureau. He found none.
“To the best of my knowledge, we're the on
ly program in the country that has such an
outreach with one coordinator,” Beres says.
Bureau programs are conducted free as a
public service. However, Beres says organiza
tions. that request speakers for appearances out
side the Eugene-Springfield area should plan to
reimburse their guests for travel expenses.
The bureau has published a directory listing
available University speakers and the topics
they’re prepared to address to the community.
The directory is available at the News Bureau,
Room 219 of Johnson Hall.
Budget taces board s approval
Oregon’s proposed 1985-87
higher education budget has left
the blocks and will face its first
hurdle Thursday and Friday.
The State Board of Higher
Education will meet at Portland
State University and will take
action on a budget request of
more than $641 million. If ap
proved, the request will be sub
mitted to Gov. Vic Atiyeh and,
ultimately, to the Legislature.
The board also will act on
proposed amendments to an ad
ministrative rule governing
vehicle operation and

maintenance. The amended
policy contains stricter safety
standards for faculty, staff and
student transportation in state
owned vehicles.
State review of vehicle safety
standards began in February,
shortly after two members of the
University wrestling team were
killed in a single-vehicle
mishap in southeastern
Washington.
The higher education budget
request includes approximately
$267,000 for operating and
maintaining Condon School
and building a new laboratory
in the administration building
at the University Institute of
Marine Biology at Charleston.
A high technology and
economic development request
package totalling nearly $7.5
million also will come before
the board. The University’s
share is more than $2 million,
with nearly $1.5 million pro
posed for biotechnology and
computer science. Approx
imately $153,000 is included
for enhancement of an interna
tional business program.
