HISTORY

faculty and administration did
not yield to this pressure.
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

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.

irnwls qualifications. Brand said.
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.
