In 1971, then-Kditor Grattan Korn ns privatized the Emerald in an effort to make the Emerald independent of this type of fac ulty pressure. The University published a vearixmk called the Oregano from 1 '*02 to 1980 Tills yearbook lived a fairly uninteresting life, except in 1969 when students tried to change the hook into a monthly pictorial of social protest. Although the magazine pub lished only one issue, the pro duction displayed o sobering view of dying soldiers and pover ty at home In April 1916, an underground paper called the Spring Scarlet Sheet published the headline. "University Professor Departs With Another Professor's Wife.” Fairly straightforward? Not exact ly The professor’s wife was said to lie actively promiscuous, and the professor cited was said to be gay. The satire did not appeal to the faculty, and John Straub, dean of men. scurried about, destroy ing as many copies as he could find. A box in the corner of the paper read "The Weather is hot ter than Hell for these editors." This proved all too true, as the students were found out and either suspended or expelled from school. In the 1960s, campus publica tions took a turn toward the seri ous. One of these publications was the Fightin' Red Puck. It was a pro-communism magazine that put the University and the administration on trial for ignor ing the Vietnam War. Not sur prisingly, the verdict was guilty. The 1080s heralded in the Ore gon Commentator, the Oregon Voice and The Student Insurgent. In 1083. tho ASUO began its own publication called Off the Record. which was later shortened to the Record. "At this time," Richard said, "the Emerald was very critical of student government. The ASUO tried to suppress the Emerald's negative articles, but failing in that, they decided to begin their own magazine. The Record was extremely costly, and really was nothing more than propaganda. Hut it did last quite a few years.” In its last year of publication, the Record was reduced to a sin gle page in tho Emerald. The list of student publications does not end here. These maga zines and many others can be seen in University Archives in Fenton Hall. 2nd Annual, 1994 Public Interest Science Conference Organizational Meeting 6:00 pm, Thursday, October 21 Room 202, Cascade Hall (enter from the walkway over the fountain) What is the Public Interest Science Conference?

This new productivity strategy is essential, Brand said, because state funding will continue to decrease regardless of whether the sales tax proposal passes on Nov. 9. He said that a sales tax would slow the exodus of state dollars, but the school will still have to become more self-sufficient to survive. He estimated that 22 to 23 percent of the school's core budget is currently funded by the state — down from 34 percent before 1990‘s Ballot Measure 5 — and that it could drop to single digits by the end of the decade. Brand related the University’s struggles to a nationwide struggle within higher education. He said higher education was currently in a third "sea change" — a transition brought on by economic con flicts. And unlike the previous two, officials can't determine the out come of this one because schools are facing the dilemma now rather than looking back on it. The first "sea change" was after World War II, when universities across the country liegan to devote major resources to research. The second was around the Vietnam ora, when faculty and students took it upon themselves to change and expand the curriculum of colleges to offer a diverse array of clioices, rather than the staid, fixed offer ings of the period 1 his third change. Brand said, was to give higher education a lower priority than ever before in most states. He said that K-12, pris ons, roads and other state programs are now given preferential treat ment in Oregon and elsewhere, and as a result those programs will continue to receive the majority of state money.
