At the time of Frohnmayer's resignation. Presi dent Bush was taking heat front fellow Republican Patrii k Buchanan about his polk n-s on many things, pornography in particular Buchanan made on issue of some of the grants tin* NKA gave to more controversial artists After Frohnmayer resigned.

"Frohnmayer doled out his courage in wisely t.al ibrated amounts. But any dose of political courage is apparently intolerable to Bush in election sea son." But. according to an article published in the Legal Times on June fi. 1994. Bush was not tht> only one bowing to political pressure from conser vatives. "Frohnmayer. thinking that he might assuage the congressional critics, sacrificed the artists But in so doing, he also sacrificed the prin FROHNMAYER cipie Inal the endowment must operate on the basis of aesthetic merit, untainted by considerations of politics and controversy."

Hon Houlihan, a 20-year-old Lane Community College stu dent. went out to the front porch of his apartment at 361 1/2 Last Mlh Avenue to get a breath of fresh air before bed when he spotted flames in tho kitchen window of a neighboring apart ment. Houlihan ran to the burning building at 341 1/2 Hast 14th, a one-story frame house which had been converted to apart ments. and banged on the win dows and doors in an effort to rouse anyone inside. When no one responded. Houlihan ran back to his apart nu*iit anil reported the fire to 9 1-1 at 1 :45 a m. Responding firefighters arrived at 1 49 am., entered the burning apartment and found a fire in the kitchen area, extend ing from the stove to cabinets, tile wall and the ceiling The apartment was filled with thick smoke, according to Tim Birr, Kugene Department of Public Safety spokesman. As several firefighters knocked down the blaze, others searched the apartment and found Douglas J. Chatfield. 23, uncomu ious on the couch Chatfield had apparently been asleep when the fire broke out and did not awake when the apartment's smoke detector acti vated He was taken from the building by firefighters, treated on the scene for smoke inhala lion and declined furthor treat ment, according to Birr "It was really weird because the fire alarm didn’t wake any one around here up,” said Houlihan's roommate, Todd Wolter. "It was like a car alarm going off." “Another 10 minutes and we would have had a fatality.” said firefighter-paramodic Don Vaught, noting the good fortune of Houlihan's discovery of the fire. Firefighters confined the fire to the kitchen area within six minutes of arrival. The fire orig inated on the top of the stove, but its exact cause is still unde termined There is a strong pos sibility the fire started as a result of an electrical short or unat tended cooking, Birr said. Damage is estimated at $1500. great mi workout and stress reliever!
