incidental fee money cannot be
used for,” Duvall said.
"When we are running a
ballot measure campaign, none
of the incidental fee money is
used for that. The incidental fee
money is used for all the other
projects we are doing in the of
fice,” Duvall added.
The fact that the Suite 1
phone number is listed on the
Pancakes and Politics" flier is
a mistake that was made by
Oregon Fair Share. Duvall said.
A letter from Michael Karber,
Lane County Regional
Organizer of Oregon Fair Share,
admits Oregon Fair Share put
the Suite 1 phone number on
the flier, which it also produced
and paid for.
“We are not running our cam
paigns for ballot measures 4 and
8 out of Suite 1. we are running
them out of my house." Duvall
added.
Munion said OS!’IRC has a
history of sponsoring partisan
political parties on campus, us
ing incidental fees, work-study
students and federal money.
“This is a long-term activity,
and this is what this organiza
tion does on this campus, and
they haven’t just started doing
this, they have done it for quite

"Scrambling for students and
driven by market place
demands, many undergraduate
colleges have lost their sense of
mission,” it said.
It challenges colleges to make
major changes in the way they
run their affairs, including:
• Demystify the selection pro
cess" and stop requiring high
school seniors to take multiple
choice entrance tests — the
Scholastic Aptitude Test and
the American College Test —
unless the college actually uses
the scores in admission
decisions.
Holbo said he thinks the foun
dation misunderstood how
standardized test scores are us
ed. He said he agrees with
George Hanford, president of
the College Board, which spon
sors the SATs. Hanford said the
test is not meant to be a device
for making colleges more
selective.
Rather, "it provides a com
mon currency, even for colleges
that are not selective, and is us
ed by students in deciding
which colleges to apply to,"
Hanford said.
"SATs have never been used
exclusively as a basis for admis
sions to the University," Holbo
said. “Grades have always been
the most important factor, SATs
have been used as a com
parative factor.
"The standardized test is an
additional, useful tool for ad
missions,” Holbo said. "I think
the Carnegie report makes more
of the issue than it really is," he
said.
However, overall the
Carnegie report is a good report
and it’s "overdue," Holbo said.
He noted the similarities bet
ween the Carnegie report and
Bennett's remarks.
"Both seem to be saying that
there needs to be more focus on
undergraduate education."
Holbo said.
The report also recommended
that colleges and universities
fight overspecialization by
students and require up
perclassmen to take seminars in
which the "social and ethical”
aspects of their major field
would be explored. It cited ten
sions between "careerism and
the liberal arts.”
For instance, it said, com
puter science majors should "be
introduced to the history of
technology and the social im
pact of the information
revolution."
Holbo called the seminar
recommendation “sound, but
that doesn't mean that in some
of the professional schools there
aren’t courses that would in
tegrate those aspects along with
professional training."
At the University, many of
the professional schools such as
business and journalism require
studonts to take a broad liberal
.arts education. Hnlho said.
“One has to be careful in
assuming that just because
students are career and profes
sionally oriented, they aren't
getting the broad liberal arts
education,” he said.
The basic group requirements
of undergraduates at the
University are meant to be taken
in the first two years to provide
a broad and sound basis for
students to build on in their
professional school courses, he
said.
"One of the problems at the U
of O is sometimes students
postpone taking their liberal
arts requirements until their last
two years, when really those are
meant to be taken in the first
two years," Holbo said.
The Carnegie report also call
ed for colleges and universities
to:
•Reward good teaching and
stop insisting that all college
professors devote themselves to
research. In a 1984 Carnegie
survey, 63 percent of faculty
members said their own in
terests lie toward teaching, not
research.
•Establish at every research
university a rank of
"Distinguished Teaching Pro
fessor," just as many now en
dow posts for top researchers.
Colleges should prize good
teaching, it said, but "while not
all professors are or should be
publishing researchers, they,
nonetheless, should be first-rate
scholars" who stay on top of
their field.
Moseley defended the faculty
research requirement.
At universities such as this
one. "the whole graduate pro
gram is centered on teaching
students to do research." he
said.
It would be irresponsible of
professors to teach research if
they were not able to do it
themselves, Moseley said. He
added that it would be irrespon
sible for a study to suggest do
ing away with research in a case
such as the University's, but he
was not sure if the Carnegie
Foundation report had
specificaly made such a
recommendation.
"Every program at the
University has graduate
students, we have no purely
undergraduate service pro
grams." Moseley said. "Some
schools have separate graduate
faculties and undergraduate
faculties."
Moseley said the University's
system of having one faculty
teach both graduate and
undergraduate programs was
advantageous for
undergraduates.
some time," Munion said
"One reason why James (Ran
dall) asked for an injunction is
because he is concerned that
fees are being used pertaining to
an election that is occurring in
the immediate future, and so
the issues will be argued at a
later date as to exactly what our
feelings are on those, and how
we feel the funds are being us
ed," Munion said.
A second hearing will be re
quested, Munion said.
Maureen Kirk, OSFIRG chair
woman. pointed out that
OSPIRG is separated into two
parts. One is the student PIRG.
which is the group that uses in
cidental fees and occupies Suite
1 in the EMU However. Kirk
said, this group does not spon
sor partisan political groups or
advertisements out of Suite 1. or
us*? incidental fees for that
purpose.
The other group is the state
PIRG. which is based in
Portland, dons not operate with
incidental fees, and does not
operate out of Suite 1. Kirk said.
The incidental fees the stu
dent PIRG receives arc put into
the student PIRG account and
are not incorporated with the
state PIRG account. Duvall said.
The incidental fees that are
allocated to OSP1RG aw used
for educational purposes such
as research projects, forums, in
ternship programs and publica
tions. Duvall said.
Vote YES on
Ballot Measures 19 & 20
For Practical
Answers To Crime
On March 18 of this year a Federal Court order
severely limited the capacity of the Lano
County jail. Since that time over 800 people
have had to be released from the jail because
of this Federal order. People in this group
have been charged with over 1000 new crimes
since their release. In Municipal Court alone,
59% of those released failed to appear for
their next court dates. We need a stronger
criminal justice system in Lane County. We
can't control the criminals.
For the cost of about $2 a month for the
average homeowner in Lane County, we can
have an effective criminal justice system for
prisoners.

Return the
Balance of Justice
in the Community
Ballot Measures 19 and 20 will Provide:
1) 88 new spaces at the jail for hard core, dangerous offenders.
2) 80 bed barracks in a forest work camp where prisoners can give back
an honest day’s work to the community as part of their sentence.
3) 32 spaces in a renovated building to hold probation violators and
municipal court prisoners who don't need to be treated the same as
hard-core, dangerous offenders.
4) 24 beds in a renovated building to provide prisoners with treatment for
severe drug and alcohol problems while providing 24-hour-a-day
supervision.
5) 4 beds in an established, nonprofit-corporation detoxification facility
to allow intoxicated people to sober up without having to go to jail.
6) Reopening of the Lane County Mental Health Emergency Unit to pro
vide short term care to the mentally ill, many of whom can then be
returned to their families without expensive hospitalization in a state
hospital.
These six practical answers to crime will make Lane County a better,
safer place to live, now and in the future. Join these local people who
care about the quality of life In Lane County by voting YES on Ballot
Measures 19 and 20.
