partments." said institute*
member Marvin Girardeau
There is a need for more
companies that do basic re
search as opposed to manufac
turing. Girardeau said, adding
that the difference between
(ompanies that do basic re
search and companies that do
manufacturing is one of moti
vation
"The motivation of basic re
searchers is to learn and under
stand," he said. "The motiva
tion of manufacturers is to
make money.”
Manufacturers employ scien
tists and that's where it gets "a
little hazy." Girardeau said
The University's proposed Riv
erfront Research Park is an at
tempt to bring in non-polluting
types of corporations tfiat do
basic research as opposed to
manufacturing, he said

rector This shared facility al
lows members to interact in
wavs which otherwise might

'There .ire a number of
groups that work down here."
hoskelo said "They’re all in
one big room so they can share

The institute itself "fosters
exchanges” between research

Kell man hopes the number of
high-tech companies in Oregon
grow so that there are more op
portunities for graduates in sci
ence research.
"More students would like to
stay in Oregon." he said. "The
state isn't taking advantage of
them. Oregon could be spectac
ular in high-tech companies.
The economic future of the
state lies largely in high-tech
businesses.''
Besides a lack of post-gradu
ate research work in Oregon,
the science program is also
generally poorly funded by the
state, Kellman said.
"We are not well funded."
he said. "The reason for that
has to be that we haven't got
the news out about what we
can do for the state. The state
hasn't been generous with
money for higher education in
general.
"I'm mystified when legisla
tors say. ‘We have to cut the fat
at these institutions' because
there just isn't any fat to cut
