By Daniel West
Oregon Daily tmeiakl
If you haven't been through the EMU main
entrance lately, vou might not have noticed
the new addition to the food service area —
TacoTime Express.
It's located just outside of the Fishbowl until
a permanent structure inside is complete
The TacoTime Express offers nine menu
items, including value tacos, veggie burritos
and soft drinks with free refills. These items
and others benefit students because they are
small, portable and easy to eat on the way to
class.
Although the on-campus site is much small
er than a full-facility restaurant. Todd Howard
of TacoTime International said the food will
be "high-quality Mexican food that's fun and
exciting at a great price."
The response to TacoTime Express has var
ied. Some students like the idea of a TacoTime
restaurant being on campus They enjoy the
low prices, central location and high-quality of
TacoTime Express.
"The food is good, but 1 wish they had
chicken burritos." said senior Angela Mart
The TacoTime Express is convenient for stu
dents because it's located where many people
are hanging out. studying or passing through
on the way to class.
The express cart is attracting a lot of atten
tion. Some students who previously didn't eat
at the EMU are now considering frequenting
the food service area
"I don't usually eat from the EMU Food Ser
vice," senior Kim Robinson said "I usually go
home Being on campus. 1 might consider eat
ing more Mexican food."
But, most importantly, the value of the
TacoTime Express is that it's affordable for
most students
"I don't usually eat at the food service
because I can't afford it, but now I can afford
to eat at the TacoTime Express." Robinson

Is he n hero or a villain' A revolutionary or a

an outlaw? However perceived. Brian Hoop has
turned several heads in the past few years
When ho was a student senator. Hoop fought for
"act essihle. available and high-quality" educa
tion at the University. He argued in favor of the
improvement of the infamous multic ultural class
requirement. And people may best remember him
for his most ret ent fight — against rat ism and the
government

Tenure process under
scrutiny at University
□ University may
develop more
specific guidelines
By Julie Swensen
Oregon Daily Emgraki
Many students may have a
favorite professor at the Univer
sity, a person who is the best
teacher I hey ve
had because of
his or her creativ
ity and ability to
make learning
fun.
Although that
faculty member
may be widely
regarded by students as an excel
lent teacher, it's a possibility that
when that teacher goes up for
tenure, he or she may not get it.
The professor may not have,
published enough research to
meet the qualifications of a suc
cessful tenure candidate. Instead
of getting a promotion, a likely
salary increase and a permanent
teaching position, a popular
teacher could got a written
notice that Ins or her application
for tenure has not been accept
ed and that the teaching contract
will not be renewed.
The road to getting tenure can
be confusing for professors,
some of whom may not know
exactly what's expected of them
in terms of teaching accom
plishments and published
research. Given somewhat
ambiguous guidelines, some
teachers just hope that they’ve
got what it takes as their hie is
reviewed and their future is on
the line.
In a move that may clarify the
requirements for tenure. Uni
versity President Myles Brand
has established the Commission
on Faculty Rewards and Devel
opment. which will address that
subject and others during this
academic year.
Twelve professors from dif
