said.
Hatfield expressed his
satisfaction that the appropria
tion was made before last Tues
day, referring to his loss of the
chairmanship of the Senate Ap
propriations Committee when
the Democratic Party took con
trol of the Senate,
The lack of emphasis on
education in the United States
makes the nation vulnerable
Hatfield said, and a military
arsenal will do nothing to solve
that problem The transfer of
technical research, such as the
work that will be done at the
new science complex, will
supersede the current economic
threats the country faces and br
ing new competition to U.S.
business that trade barriers and
protective legislation alone can
not provide. Hatfield said
(k»v Vic Aliyeh called the
event a • breath of excitement
for higher education in
Oregon
"It is indeed a great day —
even for those who are not yet
born who will receive their
education here." Atiyeh said
The complex represents
Oregon's commitment to hav
ing a world-class system of
higher education that will bow
to no one. he said.
William Davis. State System
of Higher Education chancellor,
said the $30 million grant by the
Department of Energy for the
science complex has generated
more than $100 million in mat
ching funds.

University will never be; the
seme again as the "seeds of
greatness” and “intellectual
fervent" will be implanted and
enriched in the lives of many
generations to come. Davis said.
The science complex has the
distinction of being the largest
construction project to be
undertaken in thef city of
Eugene, said Eugene Mayor
Brian Obie.
The University is pari of the
city of Eugene and pari of
Eugene's future, said Obie. who
represented various local
economic development groups
who believe the investment in
the complex will bolster the
local economy
"It's a day to stop dreaming
and start digging." Olum said.
The science complex is the
fourth higher education project
to be funded by the 1085 state
Legislature's $30 million com
mitment in lottery funds for
economic development The
$12 million appropriated by the
I legislature will finance Science
IVA, a 27.000-square-foot com
puter and information science
building, and Science IVB. a
45. 7 0 0- square-foot
biotechnology building housing
neuroscience, molecular
biologv and cell biology.
The DOE's $33.3 million in
. funding will finance the con
struction of Science V. a
120.000-square-foot physics
building considered to be the
project's centerpiece, and
Scienc e VI. a 65.000-square-foot
geology building The funding
also will pay for the extensive
renovation of the University's
existing science facilities and
construction of three smaller
buildings
From 1065 to 1085. the
number of undergraduate
students enrolled in science
courses increased 76 percent,
and the number of graduate
students enrolled increased 371
percent.

Assessment
Continued from Page 1
Oregon's faculty salaries should
be compared to other public In
stitutions in the country, and
hence the two hoard* differ on
how Oregon ranks at the present
time.
The State Board s list of 109
public, doctorate-granting
universities shows Oregon State
University and the University of
Oregon ranking With and 97th
in faculty salaries In 1085-86
While the OBCC. using the
same list of 109 universities but
different criteria for judging
average salaries, ranks OSU as
76th and the University as With
for the same time period.
And. using its own list and
criteria for determining salary
averages, and ranking public
research universities by state
rather than by institution, the
OBCC shows Oregon currently
ranking 35th out of 48 states.
Moreover, on the same list, with
the already-approved faculty
pay increases for 1986-87 ap
plied. Oregon ranks 19th among
the states in the 1986-87
biennium.
The OECC approved its
“Assessment of Education
Budgets" at its meeting Friday
in Salem. The OBCC is respon
sible for assessing the budgetary
priorities of the different levels
of education in Oregon, then
advising the governor and
Legislature on the merits of the
budge! requests. The OECC has
existed for that purpose since
1977.
Earlier this year, the OECC
released its first State Com
prehensive Plan for Education.
The six-year comprehensive
plan is Oregon's first and is
believed to be the only plan that
includes all levels of education
in any state.
“The plan will provide the
framework for budget priorities
in order to relate spending of
funds to the educational goals
and objectives to be achieved.”
according to the OECC
assessment
Responding to the State
Hoard's $47.7 million faculty
pay raise request in its assess
ment of the higher education
budget, the OB0C said "It ap
pears that the research univer
sities (I JO. OSUJ continue to
need some catch-up. but the
catch-up could be spread over
the six-year period, rather than
reaching the one-third goal as
quickly as possible.
"For the other institutions to
receive the same increases does
not appear justified by the
various comparisons made The
regional colleges and Portland
State University on state com
parisons are above the one-third
standing, so should be con
sidered separately."
The difference in the rankings
of Oregon faculty salaries as ar
rived at by the State Board and
as arrived at by the OECX! is ex
plained in the assessment:
• "The OECC uses state com
parators (e g., UO/OSU combin
ed compared with public
research universities in 47 other
states), to provide a method
for legislators to view the
results of their economic deci
sions in relation to those of their
counterparts in other states.
•The State Board staff “chooses
to compare to individual in
stitutions (a list of 109 public
doctoral-granting institutions),
the effect of which is to produce
a long list with many institu
tions from larger slates pine
California) af the top.”
• 'The OECC includes in
Oregon salaries the state's 6 per
cent employee retirement
contribution."
•The State Board "omits this
from salary reporting and
comparisons. ”
•The State Board "projects
salary comparisons on the
premise that institutions in
other states will increase <>.5
percent per year in 1986-87 and
the next biennium ”
