By Colleen Pohlig
Oregon Daily ( mar aid
Funding for higher education is
not at the top of the Clinton Admin
istration's priority list — or even in
the middle.
This is what University President
Myles Brand was affirmed of last
week when he attended the annual
spring Association of American Uni
versities meeting in Washington.
DC.
“(President Bill) Clinton and (Vice
President Al) Gore have a good
understanding of wfiat higher edu
cation is and tne value of it," Brand
said. "But while they have strong
empathy for higher education, there
are so many other things on the
agenda — like health care anil six ial
program concerns — that we're not
even close to the top of it."
The University is one of 2H public
universities in the country to belong
to the AAIJ. Membership is select
ed on pre-eminence in graduate and
professional education and in basil
research.
At this meeting, AAU members
mainly discussed student finant ial
aid and the importance of university
research in the United States' eco
nomic development. Brand said
Last week's failure of Clinton's
stimulus package by Senate Repub
licans resulted in a substantial loss
of student financial aid. With finan
cial aid l>eing the top priority of the
AAU this year. Brand said the group
reaffirmed its dedii ation to push the
administration for aid
Citing a lack of organization on
Clinton's pari. Brand said the major
ity of discussion about finnui ial aid
centered around who the adminis
tration's higher education contact
person actually is. and also how liest
to lobby.
Clinton's plans for national ser
vile were also discussed at the meet
ing Brand said although the pro
gram is still in the planning stages,
lit! is optimistic illwmt tin- <tIttirn.itiv«t
ways of funding higher education
The national service program,
expot ted to begin tins sumiiHir with
1,000 couiinunity service jobs,
would allow young poop In to httlp
pay for college through voluntary
servo i!-related jobs
The program is expet led to
expand to 100,000 year-round posi
tions by 1007, and cost about $7 4
billion over four years and peak at
$3.4 billion in Fiscal Year 1007
“Everyone (at the meeting)
seemed to be strongly in favor of it."
brand said "1 like the idea of pre
college service because it builds
civic responsibility very early
Brand said he was pleased to see
that Clinton realizes the importance
of university research to the eco
nomic health of the country
Brand said the University is doing
a good job of attrat ting many feder
al grants for research through the hard

By Mandy Baucum
f tv y f
As part of national Taka' ()ur I laughters to Work
Day." about JO school-age girls spent all day
Wednesday exploring the campus with a parent or
adopted parent
The "Take Our Daughters to Work Day." which
was celebrated nationally for the first time, lregan
in response to studies that show girls in the ado
lest ent age group often hase problems maintaining
positive self-esteem
I'he day was designed in part to give the girls an
idea of the opportunities that lie ahead and rv< eive
leadership from female mentors, saitl Angela
Muniz, co-chairwoman of the t tm ersit v s Women
in Administration
"The purpose of the program is to boost their
self-confidence during a time hi their lives where
they are vulnerable to low self esteem and to pro
vide (hem w ith some positive role models." Muniz
said.
Solin' people who didn I havn daughters worn
allowed to "adopt" daughters for the day
Nancy Drucker, director of leadership gifts and
gift planning, spout her day with Mindy McArthur,
an 11-year-old whoso mother "shared" her with
Drunker.
M».Arthur, who is interested in art. at ting and
singing, said tier mother didn't go to < ollegu, but
she is sure she is going to
"I've always wanted to go to college," she said
McArthur said she did have some fears about
finding n suitable career s
"I'm afraid I’m going to get into « job and not
like it after n while." she said
Mt Arthur said she did like her adopted mother's
job and now knows she is looking fora "good job”
and lias a broader know ledge of careers to choose
from.
Drucker, a former journalist and lawyer, said
that's what thu day was about, just showing the
girls the options they have and to get them think
ing about their futures.
"The more education you get the more choices
you have," she sihd. "It doesn't matter what you
choose, it just matters that you have a lot of choic
es. It's so important to expose kids to different
options and make (the University) seem less mys
terious."
Not just mothers, but fathers participated in the
day as well.
Paul Kberle, acting executive director of the Uni
versity Foundation, brought his 16-year old daugh
ter. March to work with him.
March a sophomore at South Kugene High

"I think it shows the kids that work isn't, like,
this horrible place you am cursed to." she said. "It
can he o fun place "
Kberle said he believed it would he good for his
daughter to see what he does.
"From my perspective, it wus a very positive
experience." he said. "(The day is) more of a
female role-model thing, but 1 still think it will he
beneficial for Marci to lie here today.”
