University moves
remaining animals
By Sarah Kitchen
CM I hr Fjmnld
Fourteen monkeys and three rabbits have been moved
from the laboratories that were raided Oct. 2fi by members of
a group that calls itself the Animal Liberation Front.
Greg Stickrod, director of animal laboratory services,
said the animals have been moved to an unidentified location
for security reasons.
“Until now we were able to provide maximum security
of the sort we were comfortable with. However, we could not
maintain it forever, and we knew that we would have to move
the animals in order to provide adequate security." Stickrod
said.
The move of the animals did not take place until a few
weeks after the break-in because an adequate institution had
to be found to take the monkeys.
"We wanted to lie well-assured that the receiving institu
tion would be able to care for the animals in a manner similar
to that which they were receiving here." Stickrod said
The move will not harm the monkeys physically, but it
will disturb their social groups. Stickrod said
"The move will compromise them. It will take a long
time to re-establish a social group," Stickrod said.
Until three years ago. the monkeys were housed in an in
door/outdoor cage in the area that is now the pigeon pen.
They were moved for security reasons, and as a result the
troop had to be separated and housed in individual cages.
It took a year and a half to put indoor facilities together in
a secure environment that would house the entire troop,
Stickrod said
The animals eventually re-established their social group,
but the monkeys' social order has been divided again.
"The institution receiving the animals will not be able to
house the entire troop together. However, the animals will be
paired together," Stickrod said.
The monkeys that were moved are a breeding colony —
none was being used in an experiment, Stickrod said. The
research being conducted by Dr. Richard Marrocco. who uses
monkeys in his work, has "not even been slowed down,"
Stickrod said.
The rabbits that were moved were the three recovered
from Roseburg last week. The animals will be gone for two * .
four months.
There are no animals remaining in laboratories involved
in the break-in. The labs will now be opened up for damage

By Stan Nelson
Of tlto Kmerald
The University entered a new
era in scientific research Friday
afternoon when government of
ficials participated in a ground
breaking ceremony at the site of
what is to be a $45.3 million ad
vanced science project.
Present at the ceremony was
Sen. Mark Hatfield, R-Ore.,
who was instrumental in ob
taining funding for the project.
University President Paul
Olurn credited Hatfield for mak
ing the dream of the new
science complex come true and
assisting in the passage of the
project proposal through Con
gress. Olum also credited Hat
field for the rescue of the
$8.1-million first phase of fun
ding from federal cuts
The ground-breaking
ceremony marks the start of a
building program that is
scheduled to take more than
two years to complete. When
completed, there will be
;t4().(MH) square feet of new and
renovated space for physics,
geology, biotechnology, com
puter science, a new Museum of
Natural History and architec
ture studios.
i''unding for the project will
not be subject to any further
federal budget cuts because a
final agreement has been sign

Sniper victim files lawsuit
against store, Feher estate
By Gary Henley
Of lb* EnaraM
Former University student
Rick O'Shea has filed a suit in
the Lane County Circuit Court
stemming from a sniper attack
at Autzen Stadium two years
ago in which O'Shea was
injured.
On Nov. 12. 1984. University
student Michael Evan Feher
went on a shooting spree at the
stadium, killing former Univer
sity track star and Olympic
sprinter Christopher
Hrathwaite, and injuring
O’Shea, then a member of the
wrestling team.
The charges in the lawsuit,
prepared by Eugene attorney
Ken Morrow, are against
Feher's estate and a local spor
ting goods store from which two
weapons used in the attack were
stolen.
The suit charges Anderson’s
Sporting Goods with negligence
Rick O'Shea
in failing to sufficiently secure
the guns in the store, make the
guns inoperable by removing
their firing pins, install an audi
ble alarm system and iron bars
or wire mesh glass in the front
of the store to discourage forced
entry, and failing to promptly
notify the Eugene Police Depart
ment after the guns were stolen.
The suit also claims Ander
son's displayed the military
type weapons for sale without
adequate measures for security,
knowing the guns would appeal
to and be stolen by violent and
mentally unstable people.
Feher, a former psychology
major and fraternity member,
broke into the store at 4:10 a.m.
the morning of the attack. He
positioned himself on the top
rim of Autzen Stadium at about
8:30 a.m. and fired 7fi rounds
from one of the two semi
automatic assault rifles he had
stolen from Anderson's.
Hrathwaite was shot on a

Budget study says
faculty salary hikes
might not be urgent
By Chris Norred
Of lh«
The need for faculty pay increases at Oregon's state col
leges and universities may not be as immediate as the Stale
Hoard of Higher Education says, according to the Oregon
Educational Coordinating Commission’s “Assessment of
Education Budgets: 1987-89."
The State Hoard s 1987-89 budget requests a $47.7
million portion of the state's General Fund to be dedicated to
faculty pay increases at Oregon’s public, four-year colleges
and universities.
The State Board says the proposed pay increases are
meant to help Oregon's higher education faculties catch up
with their peers across the nation, and to keep the status of
Oregon's institutions competitive in attracting and retaining
quality faculty.
In its budget proposal, the State Board also says the pro
posed pay increases are meant to achieve the goal of placing
Oregon faculty salaries in the top one-third of comparator in
stitutions across the nation by 1992-93, as stated in the State
Board's "Strategic Plan for Higher Education."
But the State Board staff and the OECC differ on how
