The University is stili in good hands Dave Frohnmayer seems to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. just three years ago. Frohnmayer found himself in just the right spot to la* made dean of the University’s law school — a place where he taught for eight years before becoming the state's attorney general in WHO. Then, at former University President Myles Brand left for a position in Indiana last spring. Frohnmayor quickly became the preeminent choice to be Brand’s temporary, two-year replacement, while a permanent successor was being sought. Friday, that search i amo to an end. before it even really started. Frohnmayor’s strong base of support among faculty, students and community members persuaded t!u> state board of higher education to appoint him permanently to the University presidency, without even bothering to conduct the nationwide search that was originally planned That Frohnmayer would ho selected with so little debate speaks volumes about his standing in both the University community and in the state Alter on!\ a year as interim president. Frohnmayer has shown he is able to perform the duties of president as well as any career college administrator, and in some respects, sig nify antlv hotter. Krohnmayer is a native Oregonian who has been heavily involved in statu politics ever since serving three terms in the state house of representatives between 1975 and 1980. At a time when higher edu< .1 lion most compete for its share of increasingly limited state resources, having a president who is widely respected by political leaders from both parties can !*• of immense value, and Krohnmaver fits that bill per fectly The state board must have been impressed with I rohnmayur's commitment to the job, too, in light of other demands on Ins lime While his daughter Kirsten was hospitalized in Minnesota following a hone mar row transplant atui a subsequent stroke, Krohnmayer stayed with her. Hut he was still able to conduct the University's business from afar, via e-mail, fax and telephone Now, with the "interim" removed from his title. President Krohnmaver becomes even more responsible for the long-term suet ess of the University. The task of leading this institution into the next century may seem a daunting one, but if he lives up to expectations, Krohnmaver is more than up to it. Wo wish him lin k.

Participants returned hurt it* with a deeper awareness of their responsibilities ns citizens and the realization that a single indi vidual i an make a difference Their enthusiasm for involve ment in the democratic process is to ho admired. The Close Up experience was made possible through the strong support of parents, touchers and schools Also, various companies and organizations helped make Close Up fellow ships available to students in financial need. These sponsors include a num ber of local individuals and busi nesses which support Close Up's work in civic education On iHihalf of all of us at Close I Ip. i would like to thank all who made the experience possible. Kathy McGuigan Oregon Outreach Coordinator Close Up Foundation Illusory The Orison Taxpayers United Memorial Dav advertisement is proof conclusive that Bill Size more (the heart heat of the orga niz.ation) uses deception in his attempts to pit private sector workers against publir sector workers So shtx ked was 1 by the $29,471 it) "Average of All State Workers" presented in contrast to the $23,.140 80 ' Average for all Private Set tor Workers, ' 1 made numerous chills to state agent les to discover the truth behind Size more's most ret tint display of sta tistical wizardry. Readers may have thought of thti Oregon f’ublii Employees' Union (and our recent strike) when they saw a state workers "average" that’s $<»,IXX) more titan my gross annual income. But. tit actuality, the figure includes fac ulty and management profes sionals. most of whom make far more money than myself. For example, coaches, athletic dirts - tors, and university presidents, just to name a few Sizemore's “Average of All Pri vate Sector Workers." on the oth er hand, includes the wages of retail and restaurant workers, multiple-job holders and far more short-term employees. Not count ed in the Employment Depart ment records (and thus Oregon Taxpayers l Jnited's calculations) •i c» ■ bonuses and stoi k options, or wages brought in by the self employed or business owners. Clearly, there's ,i great deni to read between the lines of the biased advertisement. The best way to educate Ore gon taxpayers on the subject of wage differences is to make job for*(ob comparisons. But this apparently does not fit well in Sizemore's agenda He prefers to rely on illusory tactics to lash out at public workers. Star Holmberg Eugene Eye-salve How can any of tho one-life time moneymaking mountains of this world Im cast into the sea. as Matthew 2121 states' It's easy, if the moneychangers would anoint their eyes w ith Reincar nation Kye-salve and be born again into heaven where God rules supreme. Hut the media sees to it that they remain blind to the truth, as do the spiritual Caesars of churches in robbing the poor Why would anyone pre vent tho truth from becoming known for the common salvation of humanity (per Reincarnation acceptance)? That’s easily answered in Jude t and -t in the (John Iti 1 1/Jude lfi 11) 1 til t King James bihle (.an anyone deny this biblical answer given in the only true hihlo in exis tence?
