Gw artney-Gibbs said Although it may sound like a lot of money, the lab is a not-for profit enterprise Gwartnev-Gibbs said she charges what each sur vey costs the lab to do She doesn't receive any more pay than her usual salary for splitting her tune between being a prole* sor and serving as tlie lab * found ing director. Moreover. Gwartnev -Gibbs runs the lab with many ethical consideration* The lab doesn't compete with private enterpris ers because must of those conduct market re scare h. and the survey resoorch lab does not Gwartncy t.ibbs saief she usually only agrees to do surveys if the n“jsarth will eventually be made public Additionally. Gwartney-Gil>bi turns away many pros pec live clients bet a use she said she doesn't think a survey is what they need Often, she will give other suggestions to those people "A survey is mg the end-all. be all. she said "It's just ‘hue of many different tools to gather data " Currently, the lab ha* inter viewer*. half of whom are stu dent* in addition. Gwartney-Gibb* ha* hired five staff member* who help to i.om pile data and do various task* All position* are paid "well above minimum wage." Gwart ney-Gibhs said Interviewers have to pas* an extensive training course before they are hired and about half don't make it through the course, she said She said interviewer* are paid highly because it is a skilled position and they should be rewarded for their hard work Virtually all interviewing is done over the phone using com puterized surveys The survey research lab is one of the only ful ly computerized telephone inter viewing facilities in the state. Gwartney-Gibb* said Many people don't realize him much work goes into cre ating a survey. Gwartney-Gibb* said The lab has a three* pronged pretesting procedure to ensure the highest quality, unbiased data Although it's hard work. Gwart ney-Gibbs said she enjoys i resting surveys, something she has lieen involved with since she graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in "It's fun to do." Gwartney Gibhs said "1 like the craft part of it as much ns I like the si ience part."

Gwart ney-Gibbs said. Open to researi hers in (lie University community, the Data Services Lab is a well-tapped resource for students and faculty FINES Continued from Page i Tom Mason, head of she Huge no police depart ment's lraffit team, said the high hails wen* a kind of "double-edged sword The large in< reuses were shocking," Mason said, “even to us as police. Hu! 1 do think they urge peo pie to lie more cautious on the road However, we nave had cases where people would have accept ed guilt lor a traffic ticket, hut beta use of the high hails, took the case to court." He said the fines for some traffic infractions are more justified than for others “The vast majority of accidents involve speeding as an important contributing factor," he said "So high fines for speeding. I think, ere worthwhile." I"he hail for obstruction of the display of lie mise plates is in the S500 range, and that fine is harder to justify, he said. Bails are not him essarily fines, however Judges can rodut e fines tor people who explain extenu ating circumstances in court or who send a letter with an explanation The Eugene municipal court has set up a viola tions bureau where clerks have the freedom of a judge to redui e bail amounts for first-time offend ers and people with ( lean driving records Mason said the police department has taken undue criticism based on the erroneous idea that the police are revenue agents for the statu. The department responds to complaints from citizens and data on accident rates, not revenue needs. Traffic accidents are a serious problem in Eugene, he said In 1093 more than 3.500 accidents took plat e in and around the city.

He hope* lh«i ilit'sn degrees would be similar in curriculum, credit* and exams to U S degrees Kazakova's research focuses primarily on problems of organ! ration in university administra tion and the development of cooperative programs among different institutions of higher education. Although Kazakova and Silinsky are both studying aspects of A men tarn university administration. Silinsky is con cerned with imitating the American university system in spite of an already functional system in Russia, lie thinks it is important to draw carefully from the most efficient aspects of the administration system, such as the ability to fund the education system in an increas ingly difficult economic cli male. “People in Russia are trying to Copy the American model, but Russia has a good tradition of education," Silinsky said. Krasheninnikov is doing research through the University's Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management His research interests include public partic ipation. legislation and finance of urban development and resi dential development in the United States.
