Fate of Amazon to be decided
By Martina Joffa
Fa mil Otgon OaOy FmaaKI
University officials and members of the Oregon
Legislature will reveal a plan of action tonight at
a meeting and news conference regarding the much
contested tearing down of Amazon Family Hous
ing.
The meeting wilt be in the Amazon Family Hous
ing complex at 2307 Patterson St.. Apt. Nos. 2 and
3 at 6:30 p.m.
Sources within the University administration said
the University is in the process of re-evaluating
its relationship with Berkeley architect Christopher
Alexander.
"It is clear to us that the cost we've been looking
at for Amazon is too high." said Michael Eyster.
director of University Housing. "We cannot con
tinue to consider a plan with costs as high as the
plan we've been developing with CES-T ft E.”
CES is Alexander's architecture firm, the Cen
ter for Environmental Structure and T ft E is Thal
lon ft Edrington. a Eugene-based architecture firm.
Eyster said the meeting has been in the works
with Amazon students for a couple of weeks.
The original contractual agreement Alexander
signed with the University required construction
costs and the Amazon first phase to be $39 per

square foot.
Construction costs at the 18th Avenue and Agate
Street project are currently at $69 per square foot
and Amazon is projected at $79 per square foot.
H.P. Barnhart. University Housing director from
1949-80. calculated the total costs at more than S100
per square foot for 18th and Agate.
Family student tenants are still hoping Amazon
can be saved from demolition. The students are
working on arranging for a structural engineer to
independently evaluate Amazon.
"We are still guarded in our optimism that the
University will be able to provide low-cost hous
ing for families, which allows access to education."
said Eileen Traylor, one of the student organizers.

"This is a huge leap,” he said.
The school made a conscious
effort to recruit more women,
said Chuck O'Kelley, associate
dean of the school.
"We were very interested in
achieving a gender balance in
our first-year class," O'Kelley
said, "and at the school in gener
al. But we tried to recruit every
high-quality student. We were
very lucky in our recruiting.”
The larger number of women
at the law school will cause sub
tle changes, which will be inter
esting and fun to watch,
Frohnmayer said.
Female professors have
noticed that certain points of
view have emerged in classes
this year that weren't as easy to
coax out of students in the past,
and women have seemed to be
more comfortable in the class
room than before, the dean said.
"I expect that in some ways,
classroom discussion will be
more diverse, and more lively,"
Frohnmayer said. "The more
lively the classroom, the more
diverse it is. the more important
the learning experience is."
During recruitment it helped
that a third of the faculty mem
bers are women. Offering cours
os such as Women and Law,
Family Law and courses related
to underrepresented minorities
also helped. O'Kelley said.
Although resources for higher
education in Oregon have dwin
dled because of 19fH)'s Ballot
Measure 5, O'Kellev said high
quality law students still come to
the law school because the mea
sure caused the administrators
"to be more efficient, creative
and work harder at fund-raising,
and the students see that."
More than 70 percent of in
state students admitted to the
law school chose to enroll, and
the relatively low price of the
school's tuition is a big factor in
that, he said.
"When you compare the UO
law school to an out-of-state or a
private law school, the intelli
gent student says, 'I can get an
outstanding, quality education
here for half the price,' " O'Kel
ley said.
The highest-ever GPA of the
first-year students will make a
difference in recruiting students
in the future. Frohnmayer said.
“This is just kind of proof of
the pudding that this law school
is a real magnet for the region —
and even the country — and it
should make recruiting for next
year's class just very exciting."
he said.
