RESEARCH

ho said, "bul wo havo u lot of students who tiro ovory bit us good as
the ones at Berkeley
“Wo just havo a little broader spectrum, which is not in itself
such a bad thing," he said.
Research on the cutting edge requires cutting-edge facilities —
which is what the University got In 19fl9 with the completion of a
new state- and federally funded $45 million science complex.
The complex, which merged four now buildings with the exist
ing five, is designed to encourage faculty and student interaction,
both within and across disciplines
This idea has precedent at the University. Several sue* es-h.lV I
once institutes — chemical physics, materials science, molecular
biology, neuroscience and theoretical science have given the
University a reputation for being a prime place for creative science
One such program, the Centers of Excellence, lias brought faculty
to the University that could have gone to other universities, for Iw-t
ter pay
Established in I9H5 by the Oregon Legislature, the Centers of Ex
cellence provides about SI 4 million to fund some ol the best facul
ty in fields that are likely to play a decisive role in Oregon's eco
nomic growth.
The centers support research in optical science, materials sci
ence. biotechnology, computer science and high-energy physics
The centers have not only attracted top-notch faculty, but these
faculty have helped expand enrollment in high-technology fields
By 1990, the number of graduate students in materials science
the field that interests nearly half of the University's physics stu
dents — had increased from six to about 28.
When these students stay in Oregon, the state benefits from the
training they receive
The public also benefits from University research done in other
areas, such as the Center for Human Development
The center, a division of the College of Education, develops pro
grams for helping at-risk kids and people who are physically or
emotionally disabled.
"In developing now programs they actually provide service for
people in the community," Mosely said, "because people in the
community go into those programs.”
The University students trained in the program are able to repli
cate the programs in other places "It's a really powerful group.” ho
said
Other centers — including the Center for Asian and Pacific Stud
ies. which brings together faculty members, students and citizens
with interest in the Pacific Basin, and the Center (or Housing Inno
vation. which examines housing-related issues are helping thi
University prepare for a changing economy and a changing world
