Help: Measures 5 and 47 discussed in speech ■ Continued from Page 1 market. The University and the school district are working together by linking University resources and students through several different programs. Resources donated to the school districts include the award-winning computer net work which every school district in Lane County is allowed to use, and a special program, Duck Link, which allows high school stu dents to take University courses at reduced rates. Other services donated include: • The University donates mon ey to schools for field trips to the University Natural History Muse um. • ESCAPE gives University stu dents the opportunity to help teachers in the classroom. • The foreign language depart ments of the University are help ing the school district develop a curriculum for non-native speak ing students. • University students help with handicapped school children in the school district, and Universi ty athletes donate time to young athletes. Both speakers said they agreed on the future of educational fund ing because of poor wording in Measure 47. “We are going in the wrong di rection with $35 million less be ing invested in education than in 1990,” Frohnmayer said. Private donations of $330,000 were given to the school district to help compensate for the $10 million lost through Measure 5, Nichols said. If another $10 mil lion is cut from the school dis tricts budget through Measure 47, it may force school closures. Consequences of Measure 47 could be more cutbacks to low priority services such as educa tion. Both Frohnmayer and Nichols voiced their concern that Measure 47 will probably raise college tuition. Another tuition hike will in crease the financial burden of University students, half of whom are already on some sort of finan cial aid. They also expressed con cern that another tuition rise will affect students.

Greeks: New fraternity seeks leaders ■ Continued from Page 1 around their own principles and beliefs,” Pena said. “They will have a lot of ownership.” Jason Bennet, a business major and new member of Pi Kappa Phi, is excited about his new role in the greek system. “It gives us the opportunity to be one of the founding fathers,” Bennet said. “In order to start a fraternity or sorority, you need a group that has common goals, whether it is lead ership, academics or athletics,” said greek advisor Shelley Suther land. Sutherland believes that Pi Kap pa Phi will make a positive contri bution to the greek system. In 1972, the previous Pi Kappa Phi chapter at the University was forced to shut down after a decline in membership made it difficult to cover basic costs. However, Pena feels obligated to the alumni to restart this chap ter. “There are more than 500 alum ni of Pi Kappa Phi in the Eugene and Springfield area,” he said. “They are very excited about restarting it.” Pena said that Pi Kappa Phi is looking for members who are lead ers in the community and will be committed to service. “We want leaders in student NEW FRATERNITY MEETING ■ WHAT: Pi Kappa Phi will be j holding an informational meeting \ about their fraternity ■ WHEN: Tonight at 8 p.m. ■ WHERE: Bean West Conference j Room government and leaders in athlet ics.

Meeting: Torrey responds to citizen frustration ■ Continued from Page 1 citizens needs, although he shied away from holding an evening session. 'I’m out four or five nights a week," Torrey said. “If I did [the session] at night I would have to have a marriage counselor sitting over there explaining why I have to take one more night off.” Torrey said he felt this type of meeting was neces sary because he sensed the public’s frustration in get ting in touch with city officials. Instead of just talk ing with them on the phone, Torrey said people can now get five minutes to talk with him about whatever they wish. “There’s a big difference in my opinion in talking to people on the phone and looking them right in the eye,” Torrey said.
